slow dancing in a burning room

My room mates keep talking. i should sleep. but i can't. what a good day.

went to yosemite again today. My girls and i went LAST weekend. rode bikes and such. Then today we took the boys. yessss...the boys. different kind of fun.

We were all set on hiking glacier point (8 miles) until we actually got into yosemite. Then we decided we didn't want to hike 8 miles. :)
So we then decided to hike 6 miles up to nevada falls.

soooo pretty. words can't describe. today was amazing. aaaaaamazing. *sigh*
i don't even know what to type tonight. I guess i just wanted to say how amazing this day was. And just the wonderfulness of the nature and God's beauty. I ouldn't go 2 minutes without thinking about how special God created everything around me. Even the fatty squirrels that ate though michelle's backpack and her whole lettuce wrap she had.

i'm going to miss everyone up here at Camp. i'll miss having to wake up in the early morning. i'll miss having to stay in the dish room late at night washing gun off plates kids had stuck on them. I'll miss my crazy team. my diverse team. The team that has techno music to bond us together. Our glue. Our dancing.
i'll miss the maintenance team. There. I said it. With their strut as they come over the hill down to dinner. Just...epic.
I'll miss Mike.
I'll miss Jill.
I'll miss Matt.
I'll miss Paige.
i'llmiss Michelle.
I'll miss Buck.
and Robin.
and Warren.
and Peter.

I'll miss front porch sitting. Those times when i'd come down tomy cabin after a hard days work and find 6-7 people sitting, talking, laughing, playing games on my porch. it felt like how life was supposed to be. When i would walk up to my porch they would all welcome me and ask how my day went. i would always give an honest answer...and most of the time they cared. Which was nice. It's hard to find genuine people.

i'll miss the stars.
Nuff said.

i'll be home in a week though. A week. 7 days. i want to cry. Not tears of sadness though. Tears of Joy. joy because this summer is exactly what i needed. exactly where i was supposed to be. i was meant to be here. i expanded my ideas. i've learned from my mistakes, i took risks i shouldn't have taken, and i've realized that i need to remember there will always be consequences for things I do. And i'm responsible.

oh man. morning shift next week. yay for waking up at 5!

i miss you and love you.
