I am feeling …

Relieved. The church camp we organised is over, and it went well. Everyone enjoyed themselves, we had raised more than enough money to cover costs, and I don’t think I forgot anything!

Grateful. The weather forecast for the weekend was terrible … torrential rain and thunderstorms. We prayed, and God provided blue skies and sunshine (while it was raining almost everywhere else around us).

Sick. I woke up on Friday with a sore throat which got progressively worse throughout the day. Next morning, I realised my sinus infection of 10 days ago had come back. I left camp for an hour on Saturday to go back to the doctor, and I’m now on (another) course of (different) antibiotics. Let’s hope these ones work!

Tired. Didn’t get the best sleep over the weekend. A few factors, really. Being sick. Late nights. Bunk beds. Sleeping bag. Kids sleeping in same room. Say no more!

Warm & fuzzy. Nothing beats spending an entire weekend with a bunch of totally awesome people! When we came home, Ethan started to cry because he missed camp and didn’t want it to end. I SO remember doing that when I was a kid!

Excited. I have lots of fun things planned over the next 4 weekends. A trip to Whangarei to meet my new niece (Poppy) and nephew (Mark). My friend Heather’s Hen’s weekend in Waihi. Heather & Sandy’s wedding. A baby shower.

Happy. Because despite the challenges my family have been going through lately, life is good. Because things are starting to look up. Because I’m happy to be alive, to be loved, to be me.
