AC Joint

The wonderful picture above is of a shoulder. If you look to the top left you will see what makes up and holds together your AC joint. Well yesterday I mildly separated mine. Fun huh!?! So after a trip to the Murphy ER last night I now have a doctor appointment back in Murphy at one and a wickedly fashionable swing for my arm. Oh yeah!! Also I just got a call saying my car is ready in knoxville but that I have to be there by 6 to pick it up. The silver lining of today... after the appointment and after picking up my car I will go sit at the airport and then MANDIE WILL BE HERE!!!

VISITORS!!

Mandie will be here and not there very soon!!!! Yes in one week I will be at the Knoxville airport waiting for Mandie to get off her plane. I am so EXCITED !! I mean sooo EXCITED!! She will be here at camp for TWO weeks. Mandie has become like a sister in the past year and I can't wait to just sit in the room with her!!

I have to also throw out there that her trip will just be the icing on the cake because this weekend is holding plenty of visits as well. Moma Thacker , Ben and Jesse will be coming for the weekend, which in case you didn't know I think that the Thacker family rocks so to get two more of them here is exciting. Also my friend Brittany, her mom, and two sisters will be here and I am thrilled to see them and for them to get to see camp. My dad and brother come in on Saturday and Stephan, Tawnya and Ryne are coming Sunday for the night. Yeah I think that it's going to be a very exciting week!!!

Kentucky

This weekend I went with my parents to Kentucky to visit friends of ours. One of my favorite parts was going to an Amish Community and store. I can't imagine living like they do, however I can see the appeal of it. My other favorite part was making spaghetti with Michelle and Whitney. Mrs. Michelle is like the coolest baker I've ever know. She was always making something and just had so much fun doing it. 

As nice as the weekend was we arrived back at camp to welcome Lauren. I'm so glad she is here!!

THANKS BURCHARD BUNCH!!!

As you can see I have a sweet new header for the blog. Isn't it AWESOME!! The Burchard Bunch sent it to me this morning. Man do I love that family!!!

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

Happy Mother's Day???

Saturday night there was a horrible storm here at camp. I mean horrible I woke up around 2:30 thinking we were going to be like Dorothy and fly away in our cabin. Well we woke up Sunday morning and my precious baby (my car) had a love present for me. He decided to get super close with some nature.
It was a sad morning but I'm glad it was just my car and not the cabin we were in.

Rustys Got Talent

Ok so I love the Burchard Bunch and if you've read this blog at all you should already know that but I normally chat up the kiddos. Today I just have to say that Rusty has got some talent. He is so creative and has designed incredible sets with little or no budget. The dude seriously rocks, but is so humble. Sunday I tell him that the set looks amazing and he is like "it's not bad". Whatever Rusty! Here's some pics of recent sets at Ridge.

5 Kids, Dinner & Coffee

The past five days I have been in Charlotte to help with some kiddos. First of all my dad was able to go to Ridge sunday night and see it in all it's greatness. That was really exciting for me. Then from Monday morning till Wednesday night I had five kiddos, 3 Burchards and 2 Rouses. Honestly it wasn't that bad and was a really big stretch for me because I'm not so big on being the responsible on during the night. As much as I love the kids I enjoyed last night the most. Target and dinner with the Burchard Bunch and then coffee/smoothies with Lauren and Clark. Good Times!! Great People!!

Now I'm back in Robbinsville getting ready for all that is to come. Be praying for Memorial day, we are putting together a day for the community with games, food, giant slide, and other activities. We are really excited to see camps relationship with the community growing.
