Us

Summer 2001- I saw Ben at summer camp and thought to myself "That white boy is cute, I wonder what his name is."

 Summer 2003- Received a phone call from the cute white boy asking if I wanted to go out for a burger and fries.

 Fall 2003- Officially became Ben Camp's girlfriend

 Summer 2008- Ben asked me if I wanted to be his wife and I said "Yes!"

 Summer 2009- I wore a beautiful white dress, Ben wore a nice fancy suit (along with a rat tail); and in front of our family and friends we became husband and wife :)

 April 10th 2012 -The newest addition to the Camp family was born. The most beautiful and sweetest baby boy my eyes have ever seen, Harold Paul Camp Romero.

Pumpkins, spice and everything nice!

Meet 6 D

Ben recently brought to my attention that after completing this school year, I will have taught every single age group:
I have taught high school (in Watts, CA), preschool (Garden Grove, CA), elementary school (Teguz, HN) and now middle school. Pretty cool to realize that! I can honestly say I have enjoyed every single one (my dislike of high school had nothing to do with the age group, but rather with the location), I guess all that's left for me to try is teaching college, now lets just hope the State of California gets their stuff together and allows young competent professionals, such as myself, to get a job.

I have not been very good this year about taking pictures of my students, but I finally had the chance to do so a few weeks ago when we celebrated "Fiesta Catracha" a day to celebrate Honduras.

I am also posying some pictures of my 6th graders and the atoms they built using edible items . Enjoy!

World Without an End

Every now and again, I come back to this song. And I just LOVE it!!
It is one of those things that is just soooo deep I can't even really comprehend, but then again who can really comprehend the love of Christ !

I leave you with the lyrics ( maybe I'll figure out how to post the video)

For all the deepest thought compiled,philosophy
to laws of physics,
no one's ever heard or seen,
a more beautiful thing,
than this love that saved us.

Chorus:
In the soundless awe and wonder,
words fall short to hope again.
How beautiful,
how vast your love is,
new forever,
world without an end.

The very spark that burns the stars,
drew near to me today,
the God of everything that is,
whispered in my ear that His love is boundless.

I want to comprehend this.

~Diana Camp (Happy Friday everyone)

FRIDAY, FRIDAY, EVERYBODY GETS DOWN ON FRIDAY! (as sung by Rebecca Black)

Ben and I excited that it is FRIDAY!!!!. (above)
Weeks seem to be flying by. Days go by somewhat slow, but before I know it it is Friday again! Sometimes, that's a good feeling. Next week we work on Monday and Tuesday but then we get 3 days off due to Honduran Independence Day, we will be heading down to La Libertad, El Salvador to spend 3 days relaxing at the beach ( I am really hoping those 3 days just go by in slow-motion :)

Giga Almendra

It's funny how by this time last year I had already taken hundreds of pictures of our time in Honduras. So far I have taken one picture, the one you see below.

Ben eating a Giga Almendra, (our favorite ice cream bar in Honduras. Only costs 90 U.S. cents!) while talking to Katie.


I guess the newness of this experience has worn off. Being here is no longer new, but rather normal and very much a routine. Sure, unexpected things still happen here in Tegucigalpa, I guess we are just not shocked or surprised by them anymore. Being in a WAY better apartment also helps a ton, we LOVE our new place. It is currently raining, and Ben just brought up to my attention that at our old apartment even the lightest rain sounded like a storm, due to our tin roof and styrofoam ceiling. Here, in Palma Real (the name of the gated community where we live), the rain is pretty much inaudible.

Abby lives one street away, we have gone on two walks together, but I have been rather lazy lately and have preferred to take a nap after school instead of getting up and moving. The plan this year is for us to go swimming everyday, but we are waiting for our car in order for that to happen, which should be any day now!! Having a car will change our lives here and we cannot wait!

PREGNANCY UPDATE:

-We found a gynecologist at the Honduras Medical Center. He is a sweet old man who has delivered thousands of babies. So I feel I am in good hands.

-He said I am only allowed to gain 12 pounds TOTAL! haha (we'll see how that goes)

-Thankfully I have not felt super sick nor thrown up! I am just exhausted all day long, and I take a nap as soon as I come home from school.
