Assistant Program Director A is back for her third year. APDA is one of the loudest people I know. Her voice is sort of screechy and the majority of my family and friends who have met her find her to be really obnoxious. But there's something about her that I really enjoy and she's incredibly organized, hard working and helpful.
Program Director S won't be here until the weekend, but she is back for her 5th summer. She has been beside me for my entire camp journey and I can't imagine camp without her. The progress that we have made over the past 3 summers is unbelievable and last year at her mid summer review, I almost burst into tears as we reflected back on everything we'v done together. I am so thrilled she is back for another summer.
Program Director P was a counselor 2 years ago, missed last summer and is back to camp, this time as a lead staff. As a counselor, he was one of the most creative, most focused, most exceptional people I have ever worked with. I am thrilled that he is going to be a lead staff this summer.
In an interesting twist, about 6 months ago, PDS and PDP began dating! I was very surprised but very excited as I can't think of two nicer, more fabulous people. They are both very traditional and haven't dated much, and the moment I heard they were dating, I thought, "oh, they are going to end up getting married for sure!"
So when PDP asked me if I had a safe deposit box at camp yesterday and I asked why, I wasn't surprised at all when he pulled out a ring. Well, I was a little surprised because it's only been 6 months, but since PDS told me she was moving to Wisconsin at the end of the summer (where PDP has been accepted to grad school), engagement was clearly around the corner.
Two days into "summer" and already it looks like it will be action packed, filled with many interesting twists and I can't wait to see what is next...
