This week at Aspen Grove :)

I started a post a few days ago entitled: "Second post, fourth day" but it turned into a rant about whiny people, so... I'm not going to publish it.


SO!
This week at Aspen Grove... has been crazy!!!! The days feel like weeks and as such... I am officially at my Aspen Grove one month benchmark ;) Tomorrow it will gave been a week... how crazy is that? I love it here. I came home from church and just felt like I was coming home (sorry, mom and dad! home is still home too) :) On Friday our FIRST group came to Aspen Grove. I was so nervous, I haven't been able to sleep in past like 6 or 6:30 everyday... or nap... what is this game??? I am loving it though, I am making so many good friends... even this minute I am in the lobby with PEOPLE! Spending so much time in an empty household makes me just love this. It's so crazy though! How would you like a family extension of like 70 people??

Yesterday I met my group at 9:15. I sat up in bed yesterday morning and said: "I get a radio today!" And indeed I did get a radio. In fact, yesterday I held up the moo-ing cow I happen to possess to the radio transmitter, and with the click of a button--the WHOLE CAMP WAS MOOING. What a wonderful job :) There was this point of pure epiphany when we were playing wall-e-ball... I just looked around at my group and thought, "man, i feel like these guys are my best friends"--I was deoing what I love with people I had fun with and it was a moment of pure joy. And there you go! Aspen Grove is full of all sorts of pure, especially with the dress guidelines. :) I love it. Everything feels pure here!

On that note, we had a testimony meeting today. I was so impressed with all of the single parents who bore their testimonies... what power and how shaped by experience they were. It was a beautiful meeting, I felt very strongly that no one was there by chance.

On a more meloncholy note, I think that my attention span is shrinking. Even writing this, I feel like a crazy lady. According to my recent personality diagnosis, physically sitting on my hands will supposedly help. My personality type, according to this test, has thoughts three times as rapidly as the other personality types. I was double this said quick-thought personality type. That explains a lot huh???
