Dog Sitting, Camp, and Everything Else

I know it's been awhile since that last time I've posted!! I have done a lot these last few weeks. I've dog sat, went to camp, and have had a few interesting experiences. Our great neighbor's Brad and Brittany went out of town for vacation. Andrew and I offered to keep their dog, Abby. She's a Boston Terrier. She's just the cutest-sweetest dog. Casper, our dog, didn't know what to think about having another dog in the house for the week. Casper is very laid back after a few minutes. Abby on the other hand isn't. Casper looked at me like why is she here several times that week. She was fine!! I loved keeping her!! She was very easy! Abby was good until it came time to sleep. I have never heard a dog snort and snore as much as she does. The first few nights we let her sleep with us just like Casper does. One morning at three, I woke up by her snorting and snoring. I got her and took her down stairs to the cage, and she slept there the rest of the time that she was there. She even does this when she's awake. Here is what it sounds like:

------------------------------------------- The next week, Andrew and I went to church camp. It was a great time with the Lord that I really needed. This was Andrew very first camp experience. Andrew enjoyed it, and I'm glad he did. Andrew was asked by David Fields to help with music by playing the drums. We both were excited to get to go. It was just like camp when I was younger, but girls and boys where both there at the same time. It was different not sleeping next to Andrew at night. We were however in the same cabin. Andrew on the boys' side, and I was on the girls.

I had a lot of fun with the girls in my room. I was in a room with Anna, Mackenzie, Cora, Katie, Avery, and another lady. They asked about everything, and I was willing to share with them. I had told them what God was doing in my life and how He has changed me into the woman I am today. The lady that I was in a room with was Mrs. Vivian Jones. I had a lot of fun talking with her about everything. She and her husband, Russell, are the camp's Supervisors. They have worked the camp over twenty years I would say. They are truly compassionate about for everyone to know about the love of our Lord. I love to take pictures as most of you know so here are just a few of the pictures that I took. There are some from almost all the events that took place. There was quiz bowl, singing, playing, and worshipping.

The next picture is of Andrew and his shadow for the week. He's name was Ray. Ray followed Andrew everywhere. He even ate with us a few times. I thought he was just he cutest thing. Ray was also saved this week at camp. I smiled on the inside and out when I saw how much of an impact that Andrew was making on his life and all the lives of the kids at camp. I'm married to my best friend who really shows God's love to everyone.
Andrew also had some googly eyed girls that liked him as well. They thought he was just the cutest thing. I didn't get a picture of them. I wished I would have now. I picked on one. She came up just before we were about to leave and asked for his autograph. I looked at her and said, "So you have enjoyed my husband this week." She looked at me like I was crazy which I am if you ask some people. I still don't think she believed me. I wasn't trying to be rude just wanted to see her reaction when she found out that he was married. He had a lot of fans that week. Andrew wasn't to sure about all of it. LOL!!

Here are the rest of the pictures from camp. They included pictures of everyone in our cabin. Andrew missed the picture because he was helping pack up all the band gear that we brought. We both had a lot of fun at camp. We loved watching people grow in Christ. I had a tearful moment thinking about what was going on last year, what I was about to do, and how I have really changed over the last year. I was nervous about starting nursing school and what it would do to our marriage, but I left all my worries at camp because I know that this is God's will, and I have nothing to worry about. On the trip there, Arkansas has some beautiful mountains that we have never seen before. I didn't take pictures on the way so I took some on the way back. I'm going to leave you with a video from camp:
