who says you can't go camping at 30...


...miss me...i know your life has completely halted b/c my lack of blogging...i have a goal to blog once a week from this point forward; lots of changes...don't worry i will give you an update ;)...now for the blog...

..."“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” (Eleanor Roosevelt)

well my latest adventure...volunteering at the antiochian village...kids from all over are dioceses attend church camp for 2 weeks during the summer...my little cousins go 4th session & i promised i would attend if they all 4 got in, well they did so...& let's just say i am not a camper; my idea of roughing it is like going to a motel 6 on the wrong side of town...basically you guessed it i am no annie oakley...but i signed up and off we went...

& it was one of thee best experiences in my life...i learned things about my faith i never knew...heard beautiful chants & hymns...served kids of all ages lots of fun food (hmmm, that might be up for debate; depending on who you ask), swung 40 feet in the air, rode a horse, prayed, laughed, sang, witnessed happiness all around & took it all in & it was just peace...

& i am glad i went on adventure to a place that inflicts so many with so much happiness; where friendships last a lifetime are created; in fact, i experienced this first hand & met some AHH-mazing people, a place where faith is planted and then continues to grow stronger and stronger; where if you stand long enough you can see God's hand in everything...& you just smile...

...until next year, maybe i'll be seeing you AV!
