Scattered thoughts, Scattered dreams, and God's love.: Jumping back into "Normal"

So as I mentioned in my previous post, it would probably be a while since I could post another entry because of camp. I did get a chance to change my blogs format but I never got a chance to reflect or write a post, so here we go. Camp was great as I knew it would be. The group of counselors this year were amazing. One of my favorite nights of the summer was during Orientation. I was in charge of programming again and every year we have a skit night. So I divided them into groups and they were responsible for coming up with some type of skit to perform to see if we could use it for the campers a few weeks later. I have never laughed so hard in my life, seriously. It's not even that the skits were that funny, but everyone participated, and everyone felt comfortable making a fool of themselves. Our group of counselors bonded so much that night, and it just set the tone for the rest of the summer.
Probably one the things I miss the most is being able to play with our leadership staff's kids. Call me a sap, but I really loved playing with little Luke, Emily and Mary.
Here are a couple of pictures.

It was a bitter sweet time when I had to leave camp this year, because I think it was the last time I will be able to work at camp. All of my friends don't believe me and think that I'm pulling a Brett Farve but I honestly think I'm done. I have written numerous posts about how much that place means to me, and I could probably write for another hour about it. I think I want to leave going out on top, still loving and appreciating how special it is. I never thought I would be 28 and working at camp, but God made it happen this year and I'm forever grateful.

After camp I drove back to Geneva on a Friday, had a weekend to relax a little bit and then this past Monday we started my last RD training. I'm going into my final year as a Grad Assistant RD and my emotions are mixed. I'm starting to get excited about the school year, but am overwhelmed thinking that it's my last time around. This means a few things. I have one more year to make the most of this awesome job and continue to build relationships with students. Since it's my third year I have a lot more responsibility with regards to "making an impact on campus", and I'm finishing up my last year of Grad school. I'm obviously still very tired from a long summer at camp, but feel refreshed spiritually and mentally. One of my RA's pointed out to me that "Scott you're always tired." So I guess I will just continue to be tired for the rest of my life.

Here are a few more pictures of camp.
