Moving at the Speed of Light

Right now I feel like my life is moving at the speed of light. There is so very much to do and so very little time.

For a timeline update:
-In 12 days I will be departing for Costa Rica. (AHHHHH!)
-In 22 days 18 Russian friends will be arriving in Ohio for 3 weeks of INSANITY.
-In 1 month 4 days I am hosting a retreat/campout for Russian and West Ohio Youth.
-In 1 month 14 days I will be departing for Russia.
-In 2 months 1 day I leave for Tar Hollow.

I have felt lately like I am in desperate need of a time out. So, this weekend I went camping at John Bryan State Park, which is always one of my favorite places to be. Of course, in order to justify this, I took the youth with me. We had fun, the weather was AWESOME... and the fun, food, and laughter were abundant! On Saturday we went canoeing on the Mad River. Abbs and I floated/paddled our way through the middle of the pack to sunburnt knees, tired shoulders and quiet hearts.

My life surprises me sometimes and it takes a beautiful, relaxing weekend to be able to refocus. The proverbial calm before the storm.

Life is good.
