It is my first day off in a long time so I HAD to update you all!!
The campers came on sunday. In my group alone I had 9 campers arrive this week, a couple more next week. Most of my girls (18-22yrs old) are staying 8 weeks. I have a few 3 week girls and 6. I had to do all the measurements for all the women's groups and I loved being able to hear some of the stories. You have to be ready to hear ANYTHING!! We were suggested not to cry infront of them but to be strong and give them support. Sometimes, it's pretty damn hard. I was told over and over again last week during training that this summer will forever change my life. I can say that the first 12 hours forever changed my life. I just can't even beging to explain my admiration for these women and when I say women I mean the whole group; 18yrs old to 59.
We have some a diverse group and I LOVE it!! And they have worries here, they all feel totally safe. One women has been on anxiety meds for over a year now ... she has zero anxiety here and hasn't even popped any meds since she arrived. Stories like that remind how lucky I am to be here. How lucky I am that this is my passion, this is my love. I found IT!!
I had some free time yesterday afternoon so I wanted to run on the beach. To get there you have to take this really steap curvy road but the view, ahh the view is AMAZING. I was laughing walking down this hill. I was in the best mood ever. I had just taught my first two classes & the women LOVED IT! Butts-n-gutts and weight training. THE LOVED IT! So by the time I was walking down this road I was on a personal high. It's just an undescribable feeling. Truly.
Sorry, but i gotta get to breakfast, want to know how my girls are feeling after yesterday's first round of classes :) then i am off for the rest of the day. off to coronado beach to lay out!!!! we are told on our days off to truly get away :) no problem.
friday we're kayaking (spelling?) in the ocean! first time ever, cant wait. and we're gonna get surf lessons as well!! movie night friday night too, taking them all to the theater. they are so excited to hangout w/ their new life long friends!! me too :)
Hope all is well back home & everyone is safe!! I feel so distant, i just found out jon and kate are getting a divorce. i need a laptop!! someone please!! :)

God Bless
