Campfires

Hello! Sorry its been a little while since my last post. Still sick, still no change, still no clear answers as to why I feel like I have bullet holes the size of Montana on my right lung. It's ok, really, I'm getting used to the hacking although it is not very glamorous, I assure you. You can hear me from a mile away :) I will get better sooner or later. PR for that, really.

In other news, on Friday we had the Middle School Girls Volleyball team over to our house for an 'end of the season party.' My roommate Karen is one of the head coaches so she was the event coordinator of all the fun festivities! She made caramel apples and funnel cakes and best of all=she planned a campfire on the beach outside our house! Despite my whooping cough I made the journey outside or door to the beach and finally was in my 'element.' It seemed that the sound of my coughing vanished and all I could do was take in the time I spent around the fire pit. You know, if you know me well at all, you know that campfires are not just any ole' thing to me; they are VERY dear to my heart. Lots of magical things can happen around a campfire, whether it be good conversation, deep thought, stillness, meditation, or what not, there are good times to be had when there is wood and fire involved. Here are a few pictures of the night with the girls. Stay tuned for pics of the Varsity Party.
