It's Been too Long...

Sorry I haven't kept up with this blog very well lately...I've been really busy with summer camp and hustling around, trying to complete the things on my bucket list. Time is running out and it's making me nervous and sad...but that's the thing about time, it comes whether you want it to or not.

I have eight summer camp days left and only 22 days left in JVC Bridgeport...it's an odd feeling to know that in a month I will be leading a completely different life and living in a completely different city. It's a thought that I've been avoiding for a while and am still trying to avoid.

We have so many things going on in the next three weeks that I feel like time is going to whiz by too quickly. I leave for my sister's wedding on the 20th and am gone until the 25th. Then, we have Dis-O on the 26th-29th and on the 30th, we're going to Rhode Island so I can see the Atlantic Ocean. Then I have my last week in Bridgeport and my last week at camp. We have our going away party on August 5th and I leave on August 6th. I am blown away by how fast time is going to go by.

I want it to slow down; if I could have a super hero power, it would be to slow time. I don't want to leave these people...I love these people, like truly and honestly love them. They have been here for me when I needed listening ears the most and have hugged me when I needed comforting. The Shehan Center is a second family to me and I am having a really hard time saying goodbye to that family. I love the 300 kids I have gotten to know this year. They are all my kids and my children and I want to stay here with them forever...but that's not realistic and I'm sure DC is going to be full of amazing people and amazing experiences but I am sad to go.

So with less than three weeks left, I'm going to try and squeeze as much as I can out of every day and be thankful for each day God has given me in Bridgeport.
