I thought I'd never make it to a computer!

WOW! What a full two days it has been! My brain is on information overload - I'm trying to type as fast as I can so that I can get everything down that's important! First, apologies for the people who have been reading the same posts over and over ... it was my intention to leave news before I left, but ran out of time. And this is the first that I've had access to a computer (though I should be doing inventory now!) So here's a quick rundown of my last three days!

After partying it up at the Glovers on Sunday afternoon, our (that is, Sam and me) departure time for KC quickly got pushed back from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. to 5:30 to 6 p.m. before we actually left town. We stopped in Salina for supper with Uncle Rick and Aunt Marla, where she served Indian cuisine that was very different. It was good to spend time with them, even though she kicked us out right after we finished so we could get on to Jason and Amy's (my cousins who live in Olathe) for the night. So we climbed back in the car and drove, arriving at approximately 11:30 p.m. Amy and Baby Jaron were sleeping, and we, being as tired as we were, headed straight to bed after Jason let us in.

Monday, Sam dropped me off at the airport (thanks to him for carrying my bags to the checking counter!) and I was on my way to a summer of surprises! My flights went well, though I'm not sure why I had to fly to minnesota in order to fly to Orlando, but the ticket was cheap, so that's ok. I arrived in Orlando about 5:40ish and made it to the shuttle service with two minutes to spare from their departure time of 6:30! They would have waited, but Robert, the shuttle driver probably would have been not so happy. I met Corinne (office intern) and Max (maintence intern); we had a fun two hour ride to camp!

When we got here, it was dark, so we took the night tour from Kyle (program tech)and Branden (kitchen intern), even though there was nothing we could see. We moved into our house! The girls are staying in the property house, where we have leather (for true!) couches and our kitchen. Today we even got a hand-me-down mixer the same size that Amy Glover blew up! (Blew up the motor, that is!)

We played 19 games of "YOU KNOW" only because the boys (Kyle and Max) thought they could beat us, but alas, it was to no avail. The score is 10-9, but we gave the boys three extra points we're not supposed to talk about.

Yesterday, I took First Aid/CPR training with my boss, Angel, as my partner. Not that I had to give her CPR, but we shared a dummy. Angel came in late, so the teacher didn't like us and she talked very harshly with us because of it.

Last night, we made our first official run to Walmart and Blockbuster! I'm looking forward to Target.

Anyhow, now I really have to work, so I'll update more later!

Isn't Baby Mei Mei adorable?!!!!!!!!!
Much Love.

    hey!!!

    glad you made it safe and have access to the real world. i feared you'd have to ride an aligator across the swamp over to the outhouse, let alone have 'net access.

    our door isn't used nearly as much as before. hope it doesn't rust and fall off!

    miss you. much love and blessings.

    thanks for keeping us posted. let me know if you want help posting pictures, because pictures would be cool.

    Jayna, it sounds like you're having an exciting time so far, and yes, Baby Mei Mei is adorable :) Be careful with the leather couches- if you sit on them when you're sweaty you might get stuck.
