[Overwhelming] Joy

As many of you know, we now officially live at Wesleyan Woods Campground, in a camper, while Josh works full time at the campground. I have often wondered in the past week what God has in store for us, but I then I realize that sometimes its more fun not to know. There have been many challenges presented to us in the short time we have been living there: hot water, rain, laundry, learning about the camp, working with new people, a baby adjusting to camp life, etc. As you can see, nothing serious, just small hurdles that come with the moving experience. Aurelia absolutely loves living at the Woods, as Daddy calls it. She enjoys being outside, especially on the playground. She loves having all that play equipment right in our front yard [basically].

Today I think it finally hit me as we walked around and visited the kids [and the workers] at the zipline and the high ropes course: This is a lot of change. But as Josh got home and I vented to him and told him what I was thinking, I realized that none of it is bad, just a lot to take in in a few short weeks. There are still questions to ask and things to figure out, but life is going really well. The hardest part is not really having a "job", or a goal to accomplish throughout the day. I spend every waking moment with Aurelia, and while I am not complaining, I am finding that the smaller indoor space has made some days seem a lot longer! It is also nice to get some breaks here and there, to think like an adult instead of a one year old, for a while. Its amazing what those small 1 or 2 hours away from Aurelia can do for my brain!

Overall, We have really been enjoying life at camp. I am excited to see what the future holds and excited to meet all the new people and become an expert veteran camper at the Woods!!

Also, as the title states, while it has been overwhelming, this adventure has also been filled with much joy!
