Brant Lake

Well Brant Lake weekend flew by as usual :(.  Leaving Sunday was much harder than I anticipated, especially because Teddy tried waterskiing.  I also cannot believe that it is already the second session of camp.  Instead of 12 campers I now have 20 so it's a little rough, especially with it being so hot/humid.  Also because I'm a little jealous that Mom and Greg are still at the lake!  I am still monitoring the one camper I have to be within arms length of and that makes me very stressed, I feel like after work the 2 things I need are a shower and a drink!
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
Love,
Sarah

EVE OF CHRISTMAS EVE

TONIGHT IS THE EVE OF CHRISTMAS EVE!
Christmas 2012 means more to me than any other Christmas!  Mostly because I do not remember Christmas of last year at all!  I remember everyone coming over but thats about it!  I don't remember the clothes I wore, presents I gave and received, what we ate, everything.  So this year is going to be different!  Today I laid in bed, finished reading the Fifty Shades of Grey Series and relaxed gearing up for Christmas craziness with the Marino cousins!  Mom and I did one quick last shopping trip, and then I was sent away and she filled the stockings and wrapped presents in her room!  Oh and I caved in and got a Twitter so FOLLOW ME!! Greg refuses to so I spent dinner singing the song Follow me by Uncle Kracker.  Now I am doing Word Search puzzles, listening to music and then SLEEP!
Love,
Sarah

4 more days

Well contrary to Mayan beliefs,  the world did not end today.  In fact its only just beginning for some people!  Today I went to Walmart for some must need items and new crafts, and later on Greg and I went to the mall to get him a case for his new phone.  In between outings I finished reading yet another book!  I'm getting very excited for Christmas!!
Love,
Sarah

Stay strong Newtown!!

Hi Everyone,
Well I'm sure most of you have heard about the horrible Tragedy that has recently happened in Newtown Connecticut.  That is where my youngest cousins Grant, Ellie, Johnny and Teddy live with my Aunt Donna and Uncle Scott.  Thankfully the family is okay given that the kids go to one of the other four schools and Teddy has off on Fridays, THANKFULLY.  If not my little Teddy Bear could've possibly been in that school!!!!!  My cousins do have friends whose siblings have passed and I feel terrible.  All I can think about is wanting to go to Newtown and hug my cousins very tightly.  Mom and I might go Friday just to have some peace of mind.
But today Dad and I made our Christmas card (better late than never right?)  Tomorrow Mom and I are off to Woodcliff Lake, she has a dr appointment and I am going to hangout with my LITTLE!!
In all seriousness though, the News needs to STOP getting in everyones faces in Newtown!!!  Report back when they know the entire story correctly.  These families and kids need to get back to a semi-normal lifestyle and grieve in private, without news-casts in their faces all the time!!  If you really want to report something, report on what others can do for the people of Newtown, or what actions are going to be taken to prevent another incident from happening.  Let the town grieve and that be it.
I hope my little cousins and all their friends keep up their bravery and go back to school tomorrow; I am thinking of every single one of you!
Stay Strong Newtown!
Lots of Love,
Sarah

Stay Strong Newtown I love you!

Thankful

As most people know, yesterday's massacre happened at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown CT.  Newtown is the town where my cousins Grant, Ellie, Johnny and Teddy live.  Thankfully Teddy has off on Friday's or he would have been inside that school, in the wing where this psycho decided to harm innocent children!!!!  The other kids were in lockdown at their schools.  I am inspired by the teachers who did everything in their power to protect their children, and feel more than terribly sorry about all the lives that he took.

On a happier note today is my big's birthday.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANA! You are the best big I could've asked for! I miss you so much and cannot wait to see you soon!
Now I'm off to clean the house because thats what Mom wants.
Love,
Sarah

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG
LOVE YOUR LITTLE!
