Peanut Butter and Jelly

The summer is going by so quickly. I can't believe that it is actually August. I will be starting school in less than a month. A day and a half after this job ends. I get quite the break. I'm living with three girls that I knew from last year which will be great. And then my roommate that I will share a room with is someone random. I won't be meeting her until the day I move in. We'll see how this all works out! Meanwhile I am still quite occupied here up at Aspen Grove. As you can see from the picture..we had an eighties night. It was time for the dance and some people decided we should dress up. We made quite the entrance...it was sweet. As we ran in they were playing the song Freak Out. By some of the people's faces when they saw us they definitely were. It was funny. Luckily my kids weren't too embarrassed of me. Although one girl was running away from me. Hopefully that was a joke and not serious :) So the summer ending soon also coincides with me being able to eat sugar again!!! I'm trying to decide if I will keep not eating sugar or start right back eating a bunch of sweets. The hope is that I will just hate sugar and deserts when I get to have them again. But knowing me it will be quite the opposite. We have another huge group this week but so far they seem like well behaved kids which is great! But you never know...one of the guys was miming today soooooo who knows. One thing I can't wait for in the fall is being able eat my own food. I have discovered that I am such a picky eater. I really didn't think I was until I came here to Aspen. For a lot A LOT of my meals I end up having peanut butter and jelly or cereal or something. There's great food don't get me wrong but I just don't like most of it. I end up making the weirdest combinations. But hey it is free food so I can't complain. My co counselor was telling me that going off sugar and getting 200 dollars is a waste of money because up here the food is free so the more food you eat... the more money you "gain". While this is a clever idea...I don't think they understood the point. If you count food as money...you would blow up like a balloon. I will justify this 200$. It is definitely worth it....it better be :) Anyway life is great. I have the greatest friends up here. And even though there have definitely been ups and downs, I have no regrets about taking this job. Besides the fact that I miss my family. But other than that it has been amazing.
