homeeeee.

after a long day of travelling from las vegas, to houston, to new jersey, and then halifax (13 hours) .. i made it home. i left vegas on one hour of sleep from the night before. when i got into hfx at 12am .. i went to bed at 2am and woke up 14 hours later at 4pm. what a shock. im still on a messed up sleeping schedule; didnt sleep much the last few days in vegas, and jet leg doesnt help the situation much.

this past weekend was our last weekend together as a staff. on saturday we had a free day where we just sleep in, hung out .. went around vegas and did stuff. and sunday we had a "love feast" for dinner .. put candels and nice lights out and whatnot. dresses up all pretty and ate steak! and other yummy things. it was also sams 21st birthday on the 2nd so after the love feast all the legal aged staff went out to get drinks. while some of the staff were gone, me and 2 other girls took advantage of the situation and decided to do some birthday pranking. for 2 hours we sat in sams room and filled it with balloons. while andrea and sadie blew them up, i sat and drew on the balloons. (blowing up 75 balloons hurts your lungs and face!) so that was a fun night.


on monday we had "debrief" where we talked about 're entry' and everything that went on in the summer. basically a repeat of everything i heard at the end of DTS.

its good to be home; weird. havent done a whole lot yet .. or seen anyone. just taking the first couple of days easy . trying to get used to the fact that im home for a month. im excited to get to see everyone, but im also geting over whelmed with everything to do this upcoming month. megan and emily are both coming home (emilys coming home from germany, and megans coming home for a week from alberta). its the first time in 2 and a half years that we've all been together, so thats exciting. also, in the midst of seeing everyone and catching up on life, i have all this to do in mearly a month.

if you havent heard already, im going back to Las Vegas at the beginning of September. Im joining on staff for 2 years, working with the Mission Adventures program. more info on all that later. so i'll be trying to focus on support raising while im home too .. and getting on my feet that way before i jump back into missions.
contact me to hang out with me while im only home for a month !! i'll try and keep you updated on how everythings going!
