2014, week 3: boot camp

I spent the past week in Northern California at Mt. Hermon for a Salvation Army youth worker’s retreat. It was a week full of healing, laughing, and learning.

Day 13. Bunk buddies.
Sara got top bunk. 🙂

Day 14. Upper Blackberry.
Our home sweet home for the week.

Day 15. Night Lights.
So Claire and Taylor were coming to visit, and on their way stopped at Starbucks and brought me back an iced beverage. and it was an iced HOLIDAY CUP! WHAT!!! My mind was ABSOLUTELY BLOWN. I spent a winter in California and don’t remember that happening; is this a new thing? Either way, I LOVED IT and it was so great for my spirit. 🙂

This was what I came ‘home’ to. We had a porch and everything; so incredibly cozy! I wish I was spending a week just sitting in the cabin, drinking a lot of tea and spending a lot of my time being aimless.

 

Day 16. Laughs.
Taylor and Claire came back for the second day in a row. There was so much laughing.

Day 17. ‘Home.’
The theme for Boot Camp was ‘home’ and while I hadn’t been excited about leaving mine, I returned with a heavy heart because it was a week full of unexpected conversation and rejuvenation. Also all of our little notebooks had a picture of us that they had taken from our Facebook profiles. Which we thought was coolpy. That’s cool and creepy put together. 🙂
