Jordan has always been a very independent child and so when I asked her if she wanted to go away to camp she didn't hesitate to say "yes". She, along with most of her soccer team, went to Maryville University for a VERY hot week of soccer. We dropped her off on Sunday and she immediately went to town decorating her dorm room. She brought about 50 posters (some of which were her baby sister's which didn't go over too well!) and an industrial tape dispenser. I cracked up when she pulled that out of her bag...only Jordan! She also had made about 100 feet of paper chains which I had the pleasure of carrying through the parking lot. She had that room together and organized in about 10 minutes flat...her roommates were watching in awe and wondering how they got such an anal friend :) And so we began our goodbyes which took about 30 minutes and finally we literally were shoved out the door as Jordan closed it.
On Monday morning she called. Of course I thought she was getting homesick but she quickly assured me that she was only calling because some of her posters were falling down and she needed some more tape. :) The parents can come up at night to watch their matches but she only allowed us one night which was Wednesday. Aaron went ( I was home with sick Livi) and said she was doing great...she sent her dirty laundry home with him since it was "bothering" her. She is really something! She called yesterday and said she came in 3rd in a juggling contest...43 was her score.
We picked her up today and had to disassemble her room which was quite a feat. She came home and slept on the couch for 2 hours soaking in the air conditioning! We missed you Jordan and can't wait to get Livi out of our bed tonight (she won't sleep without Jordan!). We missed you "J"!
