Heyyyy Peeps!
Sorry I haven't written in so long.... Life has been crazy! So I'll catch you up in a minute
But first.....
Do any of you guys have Qubo on your TV? Man, it's like America's biggest marketing scam in the history of all mankind. OK, maybe that's a little over the top. But really, my sister watches it 24/7 when she is not playing or doing schoolwork. Anywho, half of that station is commercials for stuff that will "make your life easier" and all that Jazz. Like the Snuggie. What the heck? It really is not that hard to reach over and grab a remote or something. Your arm will not freeze in that short amount of time. I promise.
Sigh.....
So anyway... Since I last wrote, we have moved into our new house. It's really nice and all but I have to share half my bathroom with my little sister. We have one of those bathrooms that we get our own sink areas but we have to share the shower and all that. Don't get me wrong, it's much better than sharing a bathroom with my brother but still.... she's 7.
Yeah.
Summer went by in a blur. What with camp, a mission trip, and VBS. Man, they were interesting. I'll just give you the highlights. Camp was pretty amazing. I barely got sunburned (which is a huge accomplishment for me) and all the sermons were amazing. The mission trip was also amazing. We went to this little town up in Ohio. Now, let me just stop right here and tell you that I am from the South and we have as many churches as Walgreens and a lot of those are Baptist churches. The further you travel up north, however, you see fewer and fewer churches and almost none of them are Baptist. So recently, a few families went up to this little town and started a church up there. So we went there and helped with their VBS. In short, we prayer walked in the mornings/afternoons and helped with VBS in the evenings. We went to their service on Sunday morning and they were nice enough to try to make good southern sweet tea. I was really sad to leave. VBS was... *cough* great. I did puppets. I won't go into details, but there was so much drama behind the puppet stage that I was about to scream at the end of the week. But other than that, it was great.
And I almost forgot! You probably want to hear about London!
London was AMAZING! I mean, America seems old to me but London was so much older! It blew me away! We went to Stonehenge, Buckingham, Westminster, St. Paul's, and so much more! I'm pretty sure I could live there. I love the food and the accents and, most of all, the history! I could go on and on and on but I won't. Maybe next blog post :).
So, I went on a "camp out" with my Church youth group about 2 weeks ago. I slept in a cabin. Haha yeah, really roughing it! Anyway, it was really fun. There was no light pollution out there. I mean none. Zip. Zippo. Etc.... So I could see so many stars! It was so beautiful! Haha I seem like such a city chick now.... anyway, the next day we were all really tired so we were doing stupid stuff. Like rolling down a hill in a big plastic pipe. It was pretty awesome. I was so sore the next day though. ;)
I also went to the Casting Crowns concert. It was amazing! The church that it was at was filled to the brim! I really can't describe it. It was just so amazing. Oh, and I saw a guy that looked like a pirate there. No joke.
I have also read the Harry Potter and Twilight series. All I can say about Twilight is that it def. was not my favorite book. But I read the Harry Potter series twice and have watched all the movies except the Half-Blood Prince. They are pretty good. :)
So, now we are back to the present. I am studying the book of Proverbs for my devos. That is one amazing book. Read it. You know you want to.
And Halloween..... I have no idea what I am going to dress up as. Hum. I know that I am going to work at my church's Fall Festival though. Fun stuff.
So now you are all up to date. Thanks for waiting for me! haha
Love you guys and God bless!
