Lauren and Brian Time: Back From Camp

I’m back from camp and these are few of the things that have happened...are happening and what I want to happen… (well I will actually get to these soon)

I had a great time at camp and I am very glad I went! It is always nice to be with fellow diabetics for a week (it gets me back in to the swing of things) especially those that I have known since I was nine! It is one of those times where you think…Wow! I haven’t seen or spoken to you in months but we haven’t skipped a beat. It really is something special!! I was especially excited to see and spend a week with Brienne! It has been awhile since we have seen each other so of course like always we were together the entire week! A few other side notes from camp

1. Nature was not really fond of me…I got scratched from a crazy plant on Sunday which got infected and was weirdly pink all week long. I got bit by mosquitoes approximately twenty times all over the body. I got a rash under each of my armpits and an ant bit me on my stomach while I was in my sleeping bag. Yikes! I guess I need to be “one with nature” more!
2. I tried fencing! It was fun but one of the campers kicked my butt!
3. Its fun/frustrating to be with older kids…some are so respectful and have there stuff together and some are disrespectful and have no idea how to take care of their own diabetes. But that’s where I step in and do my duties! Hehe!

4. I’m glad I had the weird dreams that made me finally decide to go!

Here are the some of the TAP campers at our overnight. We were headed to Hidden Canyon but didn't quite make it...but we found this fun little water hole!!
