As Told By Memes

It's that time of year again: the time when kids come and bombard your life for three hours a day for an entire week. It's that time when leaders become a jungle gym for monkeys--the time where patience is tested. What is this time of year? Vacation. Bible. School.

I've been a VBS leader for years. Before that, I attended VBS from the time I was a wee tot to, well, now. It's my favorite week of the year, but I have to spend 51 weeks of the year mentally preparing myself.

Here are some of the thoughts that go through my mind when it comes to VBS:

Enjoy!

1. *Six months until VBS* What is our theme for this year?


2. *Three months until VBS* This is going to be a good year. I can just feel it!


3. *One month until VBS* I'm so excited!!


4. *Two weeks until VBS* I'm actually going to pack soon. I won't procrastinate this year!

5. *One week until VBS* I CAN'T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!

6. *The night before leaving for VBS* I should really start packing...

7. *On the road to VBS* Oh boy, I'm starting to dread this.

Here are the thoughts I have during VBS:

8. Oh Lord, it is hot out here.

9. These kids are so cute!

10. I'm a human jungle gym. Why?


11. This is all worth it..This is all worth it.. This is all worth it..


12. These kids are pure entertainment. I love it!


13. This week is almost over! Yes!

14. This week is almost over. No...

15. It is now time to sleep for the next year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
