Writing.

Have I told you that I like to write in my freetime? For the past week, I've been thinking about writing again. It's been a while since I seriously sat down and worked... like two years. But I think that I'm ready to batten down the hatches after Thanksgiving. I had so many ideas floating around in my head when I stopped writing along with several unfinished stories but I was too busy to enjoy the process. So I stuck them in a box and put them away until I had more freetime.

If you know me, your probably wondering when I have free time, right? Well, I don't necessarily have free time but I chose to write for my own sanity a few years ago and found a tremendous release. There is something amazing that happens when you allow yourself to escape into the world of imagination. In my very "grown up" world, there isn't much time for fun and games, but when I sit down at my computer I'm able to disappear into another world.

I'm not a professional or even polished and I don't pretend to be. I'm just a high school teacher who found an escape in the world of fiction. That's what I would like my writing to provide for others, a moment's escape. I might never be published, but that doesn't matter, I'm writing for the fun of it. Just an ordinary girl who would like to show off an extraordinary God in happily ever after settings.

2009 Team Camp

We're leaving on Thursday, July 23rd for team camp. At this point there were 24 invitations sent out and 20 have confirmed attendance. This year we plan on staying in two large tents instead of multiple small tents. This will make it more fun. If possible we will link all of the tents together into a giant dormitory. We will also be asking that athletes bring a reuseable water bottle this year which will help us be a little greener but at the same time save room on our load.

Menu for this year:
Buy your own meal on the way to and from Prineville.

Breakfasts: Ceral, Bagels, Milk, & Juice
Lunch: Build your own sandwich bar
Dinner: Chicken & Potato salad, Spaghetti, Tacos & Pizza,

Snacks: Up to you to bring along your favorite snacks to share.

Garage Sale

Just a few days until we have one of our last opportunities to raise money for the Kauai Challenge. This weekend's garage sale is very important if we are going to finish our funding for our trip to Kauai. We expect everyone to help in some sort of manor with the garage sale. If you can't work a shift, then you are expected to help with the clean up next week.

Details:
The garage sale will take place on Friday and Saturday, July 17 & 18th from 8 am until 3 pm. We need one adult on the premise at all times. Clean up will take place on Monday July 20th.

If you have questions, contact Coach Barnes.
