daydreamer

reality: procrastinating my mexican immigration test.
imagining: vacationing in italy with mr. jackman.
not the see all the sites kind though, the buy cheese on the street and get massages kind.

spread the love

plan B

my senior year of high school i quit cheerleading and went to night school at utah fire and rescue academy. on my 18th bday i got my emt license. i wanted so much to work on a chopper.
then i fell in love with mr. jackman (and decided i should be around to raise my future kids) and with ASL.
the rest is history.


but.

i cant help that longing i feel everytime i see an ambulence pass.

what job would you be doing if you werent doing what you are doing now?

and honestly, this is a good thing.

deaf camp

( purple group 09!)

be warned.
this is my journal.
so all the things i dont want to forget about deaf camp are going to be posted.


first thing is larry. i seriously love this man. he is a "love you like Jesus" kinda guy. i look up to him so much. his views are completely in sync with mine about the deaf community and he is so amazing with the kids. i really hope to be able to get to spend more time with him in the future.



i had no idea that the camp i was going to was a protestant camp. it was both interesting and super fun to be around such great Christian people all week. every morning we thanked God for watching over us and apparently Catherine noticed.
is that the cutest shirt you have ever seen?
( God, we glad you're take care of Deaf Camp)



there were so many fun activities! rock climbing wall, zipline, crafts, fishing, row-boats,
kayaks, hot air balloon, swimming, etc. we kept busy.
