New England Keswick

Well everyone I have arrived!! I'm living in Monterey, Massachusetts at Camp New England Keswick! It has been quite an adventure thus far traveling across the country and adapting to life on the east side of the states! Everyone else has arrived from there various parts of the state!

Our first couple days have consisted of prepping the camp, working on skits/openers, learning through the schedule and just getting adjusted to our home for the next couple of weeks!! New England is like nothing I have ever lived in. It's green EVERYWHERE and the number of BUGS outnumber the number of HUMANS by a LOT! Let's just say I may be getting eaten ALIVE! The best way to describe Camp Keswick is to say it is the camp from the Parent Trap starring Lindsey Lohan. If you haven't seen it or have no idea what I'm talking about...go RENT it! Trust me.

My ability to have time to post will most definitely not be often but I will try to do one at the end of every week when the campers are gone. I'm not sure how this will end up but I can only hope I will have the time!

Thanks for all your prayers and kind thoughts!! I love you all MUCHO!!

Happy 4th of July!

Today is the 4th of July. The day as Americans we celebrate our freedoms and enjoy friends, family and food! It's a day where you see a lot of red, white and blue. It's just another day that I am grateful to be an American!

Happy 4th of July!

Stroll-N-Savor

I directed this video when I was on an adventure with my roommate Michelle and her boyfriend, Kelly AKA Kelly Dlux. I don't think I need to give you much except for the explanation of what Stroll-N-Savor is.

Stroll-N-Savor is put on in Belmont Shore on 2nd street. Basically what you do is you pay $10 and get 12 tickets. Most of the food places on 2nd street have smaller portions for a certain amount of tickets. For example BJ's had a slice of pizza for 2 tickets and then another pizza/pasta place had a scoop of pasta for 1 ticket. Let's be real I used 11 of my 12 tickets and I was stuffed at the end. The nice thing though is that you do have to walk all up and down 2nd street so you sort of feel like you are getting a small workout.

It was a great evening with some great friends! Here is the video to show it!

This is another production from My life through the FLIP!

My FLIP!

This is my first EVER self video with my new FLIP! Thanks to John, Tamara, Shatrine, Glenn and Audrey for my birthday gift! It's the BEST!

Now I am able to record and share what I'm doing with my life! I know, YOU ARE WELCOME!

There are so many people who I love and who I want to share my life with even if we don't live close. This was I can!!

Happy Father's Day.

Some of you know him as Andy, Mr.Krake, The dodger fan, The guy who sits on the left at church and if you are my niece, Audrey his name is Opa. But I know him by, Daddy. Today is father's day. The Day we especially honor our Dad's or Daddy's. For those of you who don't know, I know a pretty legit father. He is one of the coolest cats EVER. My Daddy is the BEST Daddy in the world. Oh and I'm prepared to tell you why.

I call my father daddy but I know him by other qualities. He is an

honest, caring, loving, generous, compassionate, advice giver,

knowledgeable, observant, thoughtful, amazing guy!

Now I would continue but then this would be way to long a post.

My Daddy has al l of these quality's and more. He is the first person I call when something is wrong, when everything is right, when I need more money, and even when I just need some advice. He is a man who I have looked up to in all of my 20 going on 21 years! He is a man who even in the midst of trials looked to God

and showed me how to follow Christ by his actions. We all know it's one

thing to say you are a Christian and it is a whole other thing to act it out in your life. My father, Joseph Andrew Krake is one who follows the Lord.

Now my Dad and I have been though a lot together and no doubt we will

go through so much more but I have some things I'd like to share with you about my dad. For those of you who don't know my Dad got pipes. And let me tell you they are pretty good as well as long when need be. The thing I used to hate would be when my Dad would sing in the house. I'm sure he would come back at me with, "It wasn't that loud" but trust me Dad you were loud. I have the same problem. But as much as I used to complain or give him my looks I still loved hearing him sing through the house! When I was living back home I didn't have a car and my dad would give me rides to school he didn't have to cause we only lived like 10 minutes away from the school but he know I hated being all gross when I got to school so he always made sure I got a ride to school. Even through I moved away my Dad was always there to answer my questions

help me when out when I messed things up. When I went into the

hospital my Dad was the first one I called and he knew I needed him. He made sure he got to me as soon as he could. He was the first familiar face I saw when I got out of surgery. My Dad is always their for me in the good times and in the bad. No matter how many times I mess up I know I can always come to him and he will be there.

I'm so thankful for my Daddy! He is one of a kind and I'm glad that he is mine!!

Graduation.

It's that time of the year again people. Time to graduate. Of course I'm not graduating and I'm not really near graduating either. But some pretty cool peeps in my life are graduating. Working with students means I always get to celebrate this time of year and I LOVE it!

For my Junior Highers it's just one step before the start the big bad world of High School. They start the process of figuring out what they want to do with there lives and enjoy friends, family and looking forward to the next four years of there life. One of the most influential times of there life!

For the high school graduates, they are now on there own, sort of. Hopefully they get the opportunity to live on there own and further figure out what they want to do and start to see how to do that! They enjoy the new friends, late night food runs and all nighters. It's a time of really coming into there own.

Now the college graduate! Generally they have it together right? They have a degree, maybe a job by now and a place of there own. Through the many staged of life they have figured out who they are! They come into the world of adulthood with perspective, courage and youth. They are ready to take the world on!

All these different ages of graduates have things to look forward to, as well as things that scare the heck out of them. But they all get to start these adventures of there lives with unknowns and new discoveries about love, life and the world around them. These experiences help to shape who we become. Now is the time where we choose what types experiences that we want to have or if you are me then the experiences sort of choose you!

That being said, to all you graduates, or people in the midst of change keep pushing through. The greatness is at the end of each journey, when you can look back and see how much you have grown!
