Update...finally...

I really did have great intentions of blogging every week this summer - doing a recap of all that had happened so that my family could keep up with us from back home. Clearly, this did not happen! This summer has been absolutely incredible, but definitely busy and filled with some pretty important life decisions for Graham and myself. More on that later...

Blue Team 2010...BT10...Blue Magic...whatever you would like to call them...I could not have asked for a better group of people to spend the past 2 1/2 months with. I am so thankful for all of the HARD work they have done to make each of the 11 events we have had a success. We have traveled all over the country...when we counted it up I think we have been in 16 states in 10 weeks (AL, TN, GA, FL, MO, AR, OK, IN, IL, OH, NJ, WV, NY, PA, MD, VA)...whew! We have made some incredible memories...some funny, some sad...but all of which will last a lifetime.

We were all incredibly BLESSED to get to know one of my new very best friends...Maureen Owino. If you have read any of my earlier posts you have heard about Maureen. Words cannot express how amazing this lady is. There were many tears shed on Tuesday when Maureen had to leave, but we are excited for her to return to Kenya to minister to, love on, and care for the people of Kenya who have her heart. This gorgeous face will most definitely be missed...

Below are some more pictures and memories from the summer - these are the faces of some of the people who have made a lasting impact on my life!

We also spent the night in NYC this past weekend...which was SO much fun! Our great friends Brad and Brittany, and Jeff and Jourdan were in NYC at the same time so we were able to spend time with them...which we always love! We watched the movie, "Friends with Benefits" being filmed in Grand Central Station with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis (from Modern Family) which was pretty cool to see! I have not uploaded my pictures from NYC yet, but here a couple from Brad's phone...

[Excuse this last picture...we had been driving for 10 hours that day... :)]

Today is our last full day of camp...ever. Yes, I said ever! That will deserve a whole other blog post, but for now I will just leave you with that.

We will be headed to TN tomorrow, then to AL on Sunday...it is always a bittersweet time when you get home and have to say goodbye, but I know that many of the friendships I have made this summer will last past August 8...and for that I am thankful!
