gonna be a long week



ok, so lacee has been at camp for almost 30 hours now.
i havent talked to her, havent gotten a text from her (cells are not supposed to be there, but they let her keep hers just in case due to celiac).
so, i am relieved b/c i am sure it means she is having a great time and not sneaking to the bath house to text me or call me.
but i have never went 30 hours without talking to her!
and no, before you ask, i have NOT called the camp or anything.
and i feel bad b/c i meant to put something in the mail friday for her to get at camp this week during mail call and i forgot. i can still do it tomorrow and she will get it her last day there. i dont know if mail call is a big deal at msyc, it was when i went to colorguard camp. (and i never got anything all 4 yrs..waah)
i am so glad she was able to go and i am praying she is having the most awesome time and that during her devo and bible classes she is learning so much and praying so hard. thats why she is there, to learn to be independant and grow in her relationship with God.
course the mommy in me would love a note to say..hey..
we can go up to freed wednesday night and have church with them and watch a talent show the kids put together, which she insists she will have NO part of whatsoever.
i dont know if we get to sit with them or if they sit together and the parents sit together.
i hope she is making tons of new friends as well as bonding with her friends from savannah too.
and i hope she remembers to use bug spray, they love her sweet self!
the pic is of her making her bed..yep, i wouldnt even help her do that!...of her cabin mates from savannah. there are i think 5 other girls in their cabin not from savannah, and 4 older girls from savannah in a different cabin.
there are several guys from savannah there too.
went i took her sunday, i spoke with the nurse, the main guy, 2 women, and another man, as well as one of her counselors, about her celiac disease. i took her plenty of food to have in place of what they would be serving for times when she cant have what they have. i took a single chicken breast for them to grill for her the night they do fried chicken. i took her a pack of hotdogs, turkey, bologna, cheese, 4 things of yogurt, 2 baking potatoes (the 6 minute microwave kind), 3 cans viennes, bag of baby carrots, small thing of potato salad, and 4 different kinds of chips that she can have. hopefully she will be able to pair these along with what everyone else is having and eat near the same and not have to eat the same thing at each meal. she can have the fruits, veggies, salads, and drinks that everyone else has too, so that will help alot. everyone i talked to was very kind, they really listened and were very accomodating to us, they even let us put her food in a dorm size fridge right in the mess hall so it will be convienient.
