so it is wednesday and i am finally ready to tell you about my weekend:) it was crazy and i would absolutely do it again. this past weekend myself and a few hundred people of all ages got together at cbu to make magic! i was talking to steffanie about it and she said that she tried to explain it to a friend by saying it was sort of like summer camp but only a weekend long...she also told me she took that back immediately and told them it was actually like boot camp. and i agree. when i shared my experience with a couple people boot camp were my choice words:)
friday night through sunday was chaos but in such an amazing way. i felt so full when zack and i packed up the car to leave. i had some really rough moments but honestly, i think lots of folks did this year, but the Lord was def. in it and i love that so much.
friday night we did this airport thing and i was really tired by the time bed time arrived. saturday we experienced this amazing disaster relief event and that was a high point for almost every student involved. the staff that put the weekend together really outdid themselves. from the airport sounds to the tarp shelters to the amazing race, they really did a super job!
amazing race you say? yes! sunday each team participated in isp's rendition of the amazing race and it was incredible. zack and i loved it so much that yesterday we went out to buy my a brand new pair of running shoes and we are going to start running together! something i have been wanting to take up again for quite some time and now zack and i are going to pursue it together...so excited!
my team is excellent! we are six but the students keep us on our feet and i am grateful and i know steff is too:) monday night we had team time and we made pancakes, CANADIAN bacon, eggs, and hash-browns for dinner...who said you can't? it was a great time and i just love those guys and gals! catch phrase is def our thing:)
during that madness, i had to step out for a few hours because we had a show in pasadena. total success. once i have photos of itw, i will be sure to post. hope the week is treating you well. enjoy the rain, it won't be around forever:)
