My ear finally popped yesterday and I can hear out of it again. I was so excited although the people around me at camp didn’t really understand why all of the sudden I was ecstatic. If you couldn’t hear out of your ear for over 2 weeks wouldn’t you be excited when you could? It has been really difficult trying to decipher what the 3 and 4 year olds are trying to say when I only have one working ear. Even when both of my ears work it’s a difficult task.

Friday is the last day of camp and I’m pretty melancholy about the fact that it’s going to be over. I have had so much fun this summer working at camp.

In other, exciting news… I finally submitted everything that I needed for my New Zealand visa. Once it comes back in the mail (hopefully saying that my visa is all set to go) then Josh and I are going to get ready and move over there! I’m so excited! Things are finally looking like they are going to work out for us after all this time! Cross your fingers!

Not being able to hear out of my ear has proven to be quite EARitating. In all seriousness, though, when is this ear infection going to go away? I have only 2 days left of my antibiotic. Unfortunately I think I’m going to have to go back to the doctor before this is all over.

In happier news, I really like my job. Working with little kids, although trying at times, is really rewarding. Plus, I get lots of adorable stories.

I had one little boy come up to me with an acorn the other day. He was so excited and had a huge smile on his face. Then, if you didn’t think it could get any cuter, he screamed “I found a coconut!!”

Today, our group was at gymnastics. We were all stretching on a mat, sitting down and stretching our legs, and the gymnastics leader told them to point their toes. “I CAN’T!” screamed one boy. We all stopped and looked at him and told him that we were sure he could do it and to just try his best. “You don’t understand,” he says. “My Daddy told me that it’s rude to point! We shouldn’t be rude!” Hahaha. Not this kind of pointing, kid. Good manners, though.

My sister got a new puppy today. She and my parents brought him over to say hello and cheer me up since I’m still feeling quite under the weather.

His name is Casey. He is a toy shitzu and he’s adorable! He definitely cheered me up.
