Friday Dance Off: I love a rainy (Friday) night!

One thing I actually love about this time of year are the freak thunderstorms- especially at night. There's just something wonderful about curling up in my red chair and chilling at home with the rest of the Pack on a rainy night (except for the freaked out beagle and yellow dog who insist on being in someone's lap and the utterly insane hound dog who feels the need to bark back at the thunder)- plus I always sleep HARD, which hasn't really happened any other time since I started back to school. Speaking of which...

Through with Rotation 2!

Last day of Rotation 2: The Princeton Crew

Our early celebration consisted of bringing our Pack to Do Dah Day with some of their puppy buddies:

(BTW- the Great Dane in the background could use some prayers- Jonas is a sweet big boy with 3 joints already repaired and currently needing a fourth. His last surgery included a complicated infection, so any puppy prayers would be greatly appreciated!)

And last weekend's celebration also included my mom's birthday! I took her to The Chocolate Biscuit tearoom in Trussville and a little shopping at The Pinnacle. I had really wanted to give her a photo session for her birthday- we've been talking about taking pictures together for awhile, but due to current financial crunches, we decided that it will have to wait until after I start getting a paycheck again. So we settled for these:




Not too bad for the self-portrait-can't-see-the-view-finder technique, I guess...

Finally, today's blog title comes in honor of the rapidly approaching Music and Arts Week at Camp Sumatanga (long-story-short, it's the title of one of my favorite folk dances)! 5 WEEKS!!! I've been going to this camp for what seems like forever- St. Mark used to go there for family life retreat when I was growing up and I started going to MAW the summer after 8th grade... and been going ever since- first as a camper, then a CIT, Youth Counselor, Nurse Buck's assistant, and finally Nurse Buck's stand-in. I'll have an entire post devoted to this year's MAW coming in the next few weeks, but check out the website here if you're interested in volunteering or enrolling a camper:
