Un Poco

I have begun, re-written, and abandoned three different ideas. One of my oft repeated phrases lately has been "my brain is in about ten different places." Well, right now is no exception. Thus, my inability to accurately put into words ANY of the amazing things that God is doing in my life right now. So, instead, I'm going to give a quick update on the insanity of my life. Issues of the heart will return at a later date. Probably tomorrow.

1. Three days ago, I was in Saint Louis. Yesterday and today I was camping and climbing with friends in Monteagle, TN. Tomorrow, I'm in Murfreesboro, TN for eight days learning how to save people's lives McGyver style. Then, I'm back in Nashville (or climbing...) for three days, and then I go to North Carolina for the summer. I could go into the craziness that continues after that, but I'll spare you.

2. The class I'm taking tomorrow is actually only 45 min from my house, but I refuse to drive for an hour and a half every day (especially since it involves leaving my house at 7 am.) when they're providing me with a floor to sleep on for free... So yes, I am basically moving myself 45 minutes away for 8 days.

3. I also happen to be the only one taking the class who is under 21. Meaning, at 5 o'clock every evening when we finish with class, whatever they decide to do for the evening will most likely not be compatible with my presence. Thus, I'm anticipating spending a lot of time in coffee shops for the next week.

4. I think I'll be grateful for the few days of peace and quiet before I head off to camp. Three months, ten eight-year-old girls and me... My job is to teach them how to do badass things like rock climbing and horseback riding, and about this guy I know named Jesus. It would be an understatement to say that I am excited.

5. One more to even off the list.... Last year I broke my ankle at Foster Falls. At Foster's last night? I ran into the park ranger who found me crutching along in the dark to my campsite. I was right then. He thinks I'm crazy. :)
