Pump Up The Volume...

... anybody remember that movie? That tells you how old I am. :)

That seems to be the theme for this week's guest group that Nikki and I have posted about. They have been here since Sunday and it seems that this week has dragged by with their same daily routine... yelling, screaming and wailing... take a break to eat, more yelling screaming and wailing... eat, yell, scream and wail... all day long. I am not exaggerating. From 7:00 in the morning to 10 or 11 at night!

In fact, they are even doing it right now.
Different culture, I guess.

Next week will be kind of weird with no noise around here.

Maybe too quiet?

I'm Baaaaacckk!! ;-D

Man, it has been a long time since I've posted last.... I apologize. Alot of my fellow 'bloggerites' out there probably gave up on checking if I had any new posts months ago. I don't blame you!

It has been a crazy, good, eventful and all around awesome summer! If you have read any of the other pondo blogs out there you can get a small glimpse of the type of summer this was for all of us.... so I won't regurgitate the whole summer for you.

I was pleasantly surprised by alot of the staff this year and I definitely was blessed by them more than I expected. Program staff was awesome! And that has been rare to say for program as a whole over the last several years. Every one of them served without complaint (major complaint) and I didn't have to worry if things were getting done... which is a HUGE burden off my shoulders! Thank you, crew.... I will have you back any time!

There are certain moments and people that really made the summer for me. Nathan and his hilarious dance, Cody from day one being my resident ninja and all around awesome counselor, Brittany (Anderson) and her everlasting smile, Stacy taking on the 'impossible' and playing Halo with da' boys(I'm glad God placed you here this summer), Nikki and I trying to 'one up' each other on Mon. nights, Jeff singing Dancing Generation and the context of his shower times, the 'facedown video' on Tues. nights which always seem to drive a stake through my sinful heart, Chris and his incessant team spirit, Lee winning the Ultimate Cheer every week except the last, and so many more that I won't write about it all.

I just wanted so say that I'm back after a long absence and it probably was good that I didn't post during the summer because they probably wouldn't have made much sense anyway.

I'll write more tomorrow...

...about the crazy guest group that is here right now

... and how LOUD they are!




Yes, it's is another Hispanic group!

See ya'.
