hey all!! i just got back from eldon...i was there for about 4 days this time. it felt soooo wonderful. things started out kinda shaky when i got down there but everything worked out just fine.................. as soon as i got down there i drove to heather's house, where i was staying, and then started driving to mykel's house. first i decided i needed to fill my car up, though, so i got gas at the station near mykel's house and when i came back out after i paid and tried to turn my car on it wouldn't start. it was an aweful feeling let me tell ya. then mykel and his dad came and rescued me....God's lookin out for me :) and i had to buy a new car battery which wasnt' cheap but it could have been much worse and at least my car works now! things are going so great with mykel. he makes me so happy...things couldn't be more perfect. right now we see each other about every 2 weeks, which, i won't lie, does get really hard. but seeing him just makes it all worth while. he might come up friday and see me for my birthday, but we don't know yet. i'll be getting home from camp kinda late so i guess we'll just have to see. i have to admit...i'm not quite as excited about camp as i've been in the past. i don't know what's the matter with me. it just hasn't been the #1 thought on my mind lately. i'm still excited, but it hasn't hit me that i'm going in 2 days...that's just weird. my sister and ryan got a puppy. she's 25% beagle, 25% pitbull, and 50% rottweiler. her name is maddy and she's just the cutest little thing ever! well i guess that's about it for me kids. i love you all. God bless ya!!! ♥manda
