| toooooooo longhello xanga-ites. i don't know who reads this still... i'm mostly on facebook, gmail and myspace... but then again i'm not on there a lot either, because we don't have internet working at our apartment. i try to go to panara with my dad's junk laptop. :) hahah... the cord doesn't stay plugged in ever...
newest news off the press though: THE CAMERONS OWN A MACBOOK!!!
its currently en route... should get here monday or tuesday or wednesday.
also, wedding pictures are en route!! i'm SO excited. once we get the macbook, put the wedding pictures on the macbook and go to panara... you will have pictures here on facebook, myspace and EVERYWHERE. :) we have a few right now, but not a ton. i'm SO excited to see Chad's! yay!!
well, married life is wonderful. we never have to really say goodbye... its nice saying, "See you at home". we are currently being stretched through life in many many ways. I think that satan doesn't like us together... but then again my family is also being attacked by him, so i think its not just us..
prayers would be amazing.
love you guys.
more later.
love, leahcameron

| hello from the east.
lots has been going on... but mostly its just been work and wedding related. everything is coming together wonderfully for the wedding! we are at 69 days! horray!! getting closer and closer...
just little detail stuff now. phone calls, meetings and stuff like that. ech. but it will be fun to do also. hm.
work is going great. I'm now the newest shift manager at my store and have my first real shift today, actually. So thats pretty exciting. I'm kind of nervous about everything... but I know in a couple weeks time it will be easy and normal for me.
well... current update on the "cameron's situation"... we are going to stay here in the east until December. The church hired Charlie from June until December and so he'll get paid real money now. 
In December we're going to move to Joplin so that he can finish up at Ozark, because he has 50 hours or so left. After that... who knows where we'll go. So thats kind of exciting and kind of scary.
But thats about it for now... we're staying busy. Keep us in your prayers... satan is attacking hard here.
i love you guys!

| enjoying lifewell... Dave Kiger and Charlie's brother, Ben came in town this weekend... and it was amazing. Ben is actually still here and leaves tomorrow and kiger left yesterday. I seriously have not had that much fun in a very, very long time. heheheh... i laughed so hard. SO HARD.
wedding is coming together... my mom and i met with the florist on saturday, so that was exciting. does anyone know how freakin expensive live flowers are? gosh. they are like 1/3 of the budget. hm. we are going to see what we can do on our own... without looking completely stupid. heh.
exciting: we (charlie and i) now have a kitchen table. which was the only major piece of furniture that we hadn't received for free or something... and someone in my parents small group just randomly offered it. how cool is God?
prayers for charlie and i would be appreciated. satan is finding our weaknesses and socking us pretty hard. pray for peace, ultimately. i have uneasy depression on and off and he just gets frustrated about stuff going on that he has no control over.
love you guys.

| theres just something about wearing jeans to bed... i love it.I almost feel rebellious when i wear jeans to bed... it reminds me of naps at college. sigh. good times, good times.
This past weekend I went to PCTC, (Pennsylvania Christian Teen Convension). We took 102 people, i think... counting adults and kids, which is incredible!! Charlie planned the whole thing, having not gone before, which is stressful and insane... and he did every single little thing you could possible do to make the weekend go smoothly... and still there was chaos. one of the older lady sponsors said, "When the devil goes a-messin' God goes a-blessin'", which i found hilariously funny, and yet very true. The weekend was a little discombobulated, and yet God did huge things!! A little drama with some people and I found that the older sponsors were coming up to me and asking advice. It was hugely humbling, and also exciting I thought. The other thing was they would ask me what I thought, I would tell them... and they would listen and obey. It was cool to get a glimpse into the future of our ministry together.
in other news:
- I got my sewing machine fixed. Honestly, I've not been so excited for a very long time about such a small thing! I bought it at a thrift store and its the most beautiful like 50 year old sewing machine you'll ever see. And now it works wonderfully... (or so they tell me, i will try it out soon)
- I was at the grocery store the other day and i was in line behind an old man (and i don't think he knew i was there)... needless to say he farted. I didn't smell anything at first, but the sound was most hilarious! hahahaha... i tried to cover a giggle and then i smelled it and chuckled to myself. oh the joys in every day life.
my birthday was very much fun. I spent it with 100 some people on a bus trip to Penn. then at a conference with many many more... then we celebrated with the family monday night and it was wonderful. Weird to think that that will be my last birthday home for awhile... 
thats about it for now i guess...
until next time.

| tooooooo long since my last update.oh my golly. its been like almost 2 months... bad me.
life is good... i've been meaning to update for awhile now, but didn't want a bunch of close friends reading xanga and finding out how different life is... sorry xanga, you are somewhat impersonal.
anyway, life is much much better. I've put school on hold for now (stopping at 900 hours) and am just working mornings during the week, which is perfect. This way I have time to work on wedding stuff and go through all my crap at home and just plan for the future (and be able to save money!!) and not go insane with stress.
I didn't realize how stressful my life was until I stopped school... its so much more measurable now!
Work is going well... some of you know I was having issues with my manager, but I prayed about it a lot (and continue to) and God has totally changed my heart towards her! When you pray to see people the way God sees them, its amazing how much you love them!! wow.
Wedding planning is coming along wonderfully. Charlie and I are both just tired of being engaged. Most people get married in like 6 months or so... we are like a year... ugh. God is really working in us though! Through everything thats happening at work separately, and just learning to communicate and figuring each other out has been rough, but also amazing. God is so good to us and continues to bless us with little things and huge things!
Student Ministry at NL is going well... hard, especially because we just started a Capital Compaign for building a community center in Centreville, VA... and the stress is loaded onto everyone... about everything, pretty much. I've come to the conclusion that satan is really ripping us to pieces (not just us, but everyone on staff) because of the huge impact that God is going to have through all of this. So if you could pray for New Life and the staff specifically that would be incredible.
In other NEW news... Charlie and I will be moving back to Joplin so he can finish school at Ozark. We aren't sure yet what the time frame will be... at this point we are planning on going back in December, but it could possibly be as early as August... only God knows. When I find out for sure I'll let you know!
I'll be writing more on here (i have more time for such things! yay!!) I love you all, and I love reading about whats going on in your lives.
love, leah
ps: if you haven't found me yet... look me up on facebook!
