Two weeks ago, I found myself asking "is this real life?" many, MANY times.
After my awesome week doing an Impact camp, I met up with a fellow staffer who also happens to be my teammate IWU named Emily to run a mini camp for a school right outside Atlanta. We were excited that we would have lots of time to explore, and we began doing so before camp even began.
Last Sunday, Emily and I hit up Puppies Galore before getting some Starbucks in the afternoon. WINNING.
That evening, we made an attempt to go to church. Seriously, we tried really hard. Passion City Church in Atlanta is one of the most amazing churches I've ever been to with a great pastor (Louis Giglio) and an awesome worship team (lead by Chris Tomlin), and apparently everyone in the Atlanta area thinks so too. We pulled up at 6 on the dot (when the service started) and were directed to a parking garage (not a single space open in the parking lot) where a van was waiting to take us to the actual church. Once we arrived and met up with our boss and his family, we literally stood in a line outside the sanctuary JUST TO GET IN. They finally let us through the doors where we had to stand in the aisle through half of a worship song before we realized there was not enough room to even stay for the service. So, we ran through the monsoon that randomly cropped up to go eat at Longhorn. Like I said, we really did make a valiant effort.
Monday was the start of camp. We were working with a talented junior high squad who had a great attitude, so we had fun working with them. But after camp ended is when the real fun began!
Emily and I decided to go to Ikea in Atlanta which was so fun. I pretended to be a mom cooking in the fake kitchens and Emily just took a lot of pictures. Then I bought a giant cinnamon roll.
After the adventure in the giant Swedish furniture store, we found ourselves in the part of Atlanta that all the hipsters/scary people hang out in. People with dreads smoking EVERYWHERE. It was a little terrifying when we got yelled at by a shady guy, but we found a really cool vintage store that made the trip worthwhile.
The buildings were painted cool!
Ahhhhh.
The next day was the last day of camp ALREADY!
I had a lot of fun working with these girls but was bummed that I only had two days to really get to know them!
After camp ended, we spent the rest of our days hanging out by the pool, watching scary movies, and eating things that were very bad for us. (Cinnamon bread, peanut butter and chocolate goober, and chocolate cookies we stole from the hotel's front desk.)
Good week.
