The last 2 months

So the last two months I have been hiding at one of the best spots in the world (well to me anyways) I have been working at Girl Scout camp in Oklahoma. Camp was eventful at always and some great memories have been made. I am so lucky to have this opportunity to work with some awesome people and watch the campers grow each year as this summer season was actually season number 6 for me.

This summer I had a major goal and that was to redecorate the arts building know otherwise at the long house and I'm happy to say that with the help of a lot of people we made it happen.

The updated Rainbow of Children
I love how everything has turned out esp the new rainbow and may even use that in the nursery when the time comes.

This summer has taught me my resident camp years are coming to a close and that it has been really hard to be away from Alex, who is currently still in Florida closing things down. The move to Oklahoma has been great so far, I love the house we have been lent to use until we can get our own place. I love the people and I love the fact that I will get to have seasons again :). The move feels so right and has been timed perfectly as Alex's company back in Florida have decided to let all the IT department go and there would have been no way we could have afforded to stay in Florida now.

Last note on the eating better issue I am happy to report that yes its still hard work but so far I am doing well, I have lost nearly 20lbs over the summer and now face my biggest challenge being back out of a job and still managing to keep the weight off.
