Winter Retreat '09
wow i cant believe im a senior, and this year at winter camp was my last year. this year i resolved to get to kno some of the younger girls and encourage them. its always so kool wen someone older than u is willing to hang out with u and just talk to u. so i asked one of the leaders to keep me accountable and make sure i followed thro with my plan since its out of my comfort zone and easy to shrink back away. it was a great experience, i met new people and got to kno others better. played foosball, ping pong, and shuffle board with some jr high girls. ate dinner with freshmen and sophmores and just kinda floated around talking to everyone instead of sticking to the people im comfortable with. one night we all prayed for this girl that iv known a while and has been in my GO Club. i never knew her that well but i kno she faces a lot of struggles. we all got in a circle and laid hands on her and prayed. later she came and found me and gave me a big hug and thanked me for praying for her and encouraging her. i was so touched by her testimony and i pray that God gives me more oppurtunities like this.
My Brother's Happily Ever After
i'd be a total liar if i didnt admit that i was at least somewhat jealous but i also realize that everything is still in God's timing. the wedding was beautiful... and i had a blast being a bridesmaid even tho i don't feel like i helped a whole lot. it was kinda fun bein all dressed up and getting so many compliments lol i just gotta remember not to let it go to my head. but i think prolly the best part of the reception was wen Casey Fehr (my best friend from jr high) made a beeline for me wen the music started and asked me to dance :) (prolly prodded by his mom hehe but o well) we danced for about four songs and just talked and caught up and i tried to teach him a lil swing. it was just so fun getting to see him. and it brought back lots of memories. the most embarrassing part of the reception was wen i was sitting talking to Paul (the one i am jokingly betrothed to HA!) and Mrs. Remy said, "arent u gonna ask her to dance??" lol he tried in vain to get out of it lol but he did end up asking me. and that was fun, he also asked me if i had a bf back home lol.... austin and i danced up a storm and i also begged Kael to dance with me a lil which he did after much prodding. i was about to talk caleb into dancin but my daddy came over and stole me before i could convince him o well lol. i also danced with Papa :) and of course Andrew and lil Timmy too lol (he is soooo cute) it was just a lot of fun and i enjoyed being a part of it. i even wrote my sociology paper on family involvement in marriage and showed my class Austins best man speech and some other pictures from the wedding. yes im still waiting for my turn but i can be patient and wait for the right guy. im sooo glad my brother is happy and i kno that God is at the center of his marriage and i hope that i can follow his example.
