~ Blast From The Past~Summer of 1984 ~

It's not such a big world after all....

That is how I felt yesterday when I was talking to my friend Marla.  We were talking about different things and I mentioned the church I went to growing up.  I asked her if she was familiar with it and she said she had gone to a summer camp by that church in Darrington, Washington State.  I asked her if it was Sauk River Christian Camp.  And it was !!!

We were there at the SAME camp when we were in 9th grade !  Oh was so excited !  Now, we are still trying to place eachother and see if we can remember eachother.  So this is why I am posting pics of what I looked like waaaaay back then.

Here is a pic of me in my cabin.  I am the one on the far right.

Here is a pic of me and a friend sitting in the Sauk River !  This was a annual hike that was made at the camp.  Marla do you remember how COLD it was ???

I hoped you all liked getting another peek of me growing up.

You are looking very familiar! And yes I remember how cold that water was!!!!
I don't remember the cabin except for it being all uphill to get there. We weren't at the very top though. That's where those two snobby girls were that I was telling you about. I remember them. They had the Madonna Material Girl wardrobes. Kathy thought they were fascinating. I had to go home and find out who Madonna was. :D I thought their outfits just looked like a mess. LOL
Kathy LOVED Duran Duran. She made me memorize their names and played their albums endlessly that year. You probably talked to her about music. I was a lost cause in that department. I was listening to a lot of oldies and was a closet country and western fan.

How fun! I just got a note from an old college roommate that I hadn't heard from in years. Maybe I'll post some pictures.

Before I read your note, I guessed which one was you. You were so cute! I hate my pics from school years. My hair was short too.

I love it when I find things like long lost sisters in Canada! That is so cool.It would be so neat to see yourself in the background of someone elses picture!

God is awesome ( and you look so cute!) You are such an eighties girl, I expect to see leg warmers!
I can here " Let's Get Physical" playing in the background. (My lil sister was a Duran Dyran worshipper!)

How neat that you were both there at the same time!!! I love those kind of coincidences. I was never at that particular camp, but the cabin sure looks familiar. LOL Same as many other camps all over the country, I guess!!

Blessings,
Kym

So much fun! My daughters are making scrap books this summer. I hope to encourage them to put plenty of their summer camp adventures and friends in them.

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 10, and 8. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
