This is the start of my oh so adventurous summer! It was a bittersweet start to say the least. I’m so bad at goodbyes and it is always so hard for me to tell everyone goodbye for such a long time. But it also meant the start of such an amazing experience! As I climbed into my car to begin the 6-hour drive my head was swimming with nervousness, excitement and sadness. I said a quick prayer for travels and calmness and began the trek! With Sydney in my rearview (in tears J ) we headed to Birmingham to meet our friend Judith who would also be following us to staff training. She was running a bit late so we shopped around a bit and got lunch then met up with her and we were off. We traveled for a few hours and hit Atlanta traffic and well….let’s just say that was the most traffic I’ve driven through and it has made me slightly a bit nervous about DC, but after many prayers and getting separated then back together we got on Interstate 85 headed towards Gainesville. We made it to First United Methodist Gainesville (which is super big and super nice!) We were all very nervous but we got squared away with nametags and such and just hung out and met some other staffers. We then started our meeting for the night and got to hear all about the camp directors and other staffers, which made me very excited to start the summer!!! Then it was off to shower and do whatever was needed to get ready for bed. We are staying in Sunday school rooms and there are about 15 girls in my room. We have 4 showers between 115 people but amazingly it has all worked out very well. I don’t think there has ever been a time so far that anyone has had to wait on a shower. Must be God J That was the first day of my ever wonderful experience!!
