| I bet y'all thought I was never coming back...or had decided to ignore you Not true! I love and miss my EXCEL girlfriends sooooo much!!!
Well, I am going to try to be as positive as I can possibly be about this and just say I hated ALERT Or rather, the other gals there hated me. Don't know why, never had a problem like that before, but it was a very big challenge. I was constantly in trouble (quite a change from the 0 projects at I received at EXCEL) for everything from moving chairs during the conference (that is a man's job) to talking to a thirteen-year-old boy (flirting- ya'll remember how crazy I am about those younger guys, right? Just call me Demi Moore... ) This one girl there made me change shirts because she could see the outline of my tank top underneath (this was just a regular ol' t-shirt and I was being extra conservative with the undershirt). And then I was "too cheerful". Seriously, one of the staff girls asked me if I ever had bad days because I was always smiling and stuff. I told her yes of course but I was just trying to stay joyful. She sort of sneered and said that I was a totally fake person, then refused to speak to me for the rest of my time there. A total of two girls made the effort to tell me goodbye. Anyway, enough of my bitterness...I am still praying that God would help me to let go and forgive them.
And then the good news: taking some awesome writing classes at the U of South Florida this summer, personal trainer boot camp in July, start working at the gym in August, and then...?????
I want to hear and talk to all of you! I thought about y'all CONSTANTLY while I was at Big Sandy. I had an absolute BLAST being a team leader for pre-EXCEL during the ATI conference....my little girls were precious. It was such a wonderful blessing during a frustrating time. And I saw Michelle Main, Emily Lantzer, Mary Frances, Kamsa, Jeong Min (or however you spell it!), Rachel Hurst, and our Rachel while I was there!!!! That was such fun. Talk to you later, peoples!!

I need yall to email me all of your e-mail addresses. I've lost them. 
I'm currently on staff at Operation Salt and Light here in Oklahoma
City for the summer. I love it. God is teaching me a lot. It's so
amazing to be involved in the great work that He is doing here in
Oklahoma City. I just finished a week of Teaching Children Effectively
Level 2 training. It was hard but really, really good. I learned a
ton!!!! My brother is here with me this summer which is really nice.
It's so fun having him here. Well, I've been praying for yall. 
Let me know how life is going...I feel so out of touch with everyone.
