I don't know why I haven't written at all. I just don't have the energy to write much anymore, I guess. Anyways, I'm here at Camp Wayne for Girls for the summer, and it is beautiful. It's been kind of a lonely five weeks, but I'm starting to make some great friends that always keep me laughing and smiling. On Wednesday I'll be halfway through my work here, and on the 25th Derek is coming out to see me. I'm really excited about that--I never realized how much I would miss him until I left him. I thought I would be fine, but it feels like a piece of me is missing.
I have total wedding fever. Four or five of the couples I know have gotten married already this summer, and it's just making me itch to wear a white dress of my own. I think I'm pretty okay with not being engaged even after two and a half years. I feel like it's been a way shorter time than that. I think it's necessary to wait sometimes, to take that next big step. But rumor has it that by this time next year, I'll be engaged. I don't know how that all is going to happen, but I'm excited. Derek is the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I've never felt this way about anybody.
My job at camp is interesting. I'm an administrative assistant, and while that may drum up mental images of sitting behind a desk, answering phones, it's quite the opposite. I'm basically the director's bitch, and I'm at his mercy every day as far as what kind of work I do. Sometimes I have to take out his trash. Sometimes I have to laminate a hundred signs. It's different every day. I do like that it's different, and I enjoy not being like THISCLOSE to a million children all the time. My counselor friends are going crazy. I get to leave camp almost every day, driving to run errands or pick people up. It's not bad. I think I want to come back next year, but in a different capacity. Maybe a mother's helper. It would rock to babysit for an entire summer. I think.
I don't know what else to say. I've graduated. I started on my master's degree. Every day is the start of something beautiful.

i'm glad to hear you're doing well. :)
hey Vicky it's been forever huh! So you started your Master...at UT? I am seriously considering coming back for mine....but I am SOOO SCARED! I'm afraid of failure, afraid of what it would take to get me ready to go back to school, and scared of more massive amounts of money it would take....but I have been graduated for far over a year now and I still don't have a job :( so it's pretty sad. Anyways, glad things are going well with you...hope to talk to you again soon! Oh, P.S. I just had a new little neice born and her name is Victoria!
