Tony's Pizza Box

Instead of writing about random things or events...I am going to start picking one picture and talk about what I am doing in it, why I took it (if not in it), occasion, the people in it, the place we're at or not at, if it's a holiday or a special day...etc.

The first one I am going to start with is....the lovely picture of me in a Tony's Pizza box. You are probably wondering why...? 

Well, first off...my mom met up with Larry Sutton, one of my sister's friend's dad. They sat next to each other at the 2005 REF auction in Rainier. My mom mentioned to Larry that I was coming home in May and needed a summer job. He suggested that I get a hold of Camp Cascades and fill out a job application. I have been to Camp Cascades once before...for a 6th grade field trip back in 1996. We used the waterfront, water slide and one of the lodges for a bbq. She shared the news with me and so I filled one out...couldn't hurt right? I sent it in the mail and was called to set up for a phone interview since I was still in Pullman until May. I had my interview and when I got home for summer vacation I was called by Larry about what my job would be. The job sounded pretty straight forward but there was a catch. The catch was I had to actually live there even though I lived less than fifteen miles from the camp. Lame.

 My first day there, which was the middle of June, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I knew absolutely no one except Larry and Alisha (who was helping out that week). I felt like I didn't belong and really didn't intend to make friends. I was there to make food and get paid. That's what happened for a while. Then I found out I could act like myself since most of them were hard core church people and really had no personalities. So I was the "entertainer" for some reason. Every Sunday we made pizzas and this is what I did when we weren't working. Which I got yelled at a lot for being off task. However, we laughed a lot, which got me through it until I got to go back to Pullman, my savior.
