Crazyness

Last weekend was so unbelievably busy and crazy! It was the church's 20th year anniversary and they had a weekend celebration. Friday night we had a big game night at the church where we played soccer, basketball, board games, and just hung out with each other. Saturday we had a big dinner and ball and Sunday we had the regular service in the morning and then a dedication service/afternoon tea later in the day. It all seemed to go really well. Friday was a blast just hanging out with everyone and being able to play some soccer and b-ball with some of the guys was really awesome. After that some of Chris' friends spent the night so we were up pretty late just having fun. Saturday morning I went over and helped set some stuff up at the church for that night and everyone was running around kind of crazy like trying to make sure that it all got done in time. The actual evening was really really fun. All of us girls got ready with one another and JoyLee did most of our hair. It is so much fun to have an opportunity to get all dressed up. I had my mom send my prom dress over so that I would have something to wear. I was super glad that I had another opportunity to wear it and everyone seemed to love it which, of course, made me feel special. The whole night was full of just picture taking, eating, and kind of dancing. It was great. So after the Ball we went over to some friend's house to just hang out for a bit longer and didn't get home till pretty late. Then I had to get up really early Saturday in order to be ready for church on time and everything. The service was great as well as the afternoon tea. After that a bunch of us kids walked home and played some games at the Loftis house. So after all of that I was pretty exhausted and did not want to wake up on Monday. thank goodness I don't normally work on Mondays.
Last night we had a meeting for our Sydney trip just to plan out how we are going to get there and some of the little details. I can't believe that we are leaving Thursday! I am SO excited!!! I probably won't post anything till after so it will be a while before I write again but I will as soon as I can! Pray for our safety and that God's hand will be upon us as we travel and sight see :) Hugs and Kisses!
