The Glory of it All

The title of this post is the title of a song we sang this weekend at williamsburg that i really like. it's by the david crowder band. listen to it!

this weekend was the annual conference for everyone in our region for young life. it's so fun to get away and hang out with such fun people all weekend. On saturday night a bunch of us went out to get ice cream for sarah's birthday. there were so many of us that we had to sit in three seperate booths (all next to/across from eachother). the boys at one table split the "crowd pleaser"; six scoops of ice cream with four toppings. they loved it of course.

i got back yesterday around five oclock and get to spend some time around the hosue by myself which was nice after a weekend surrounded by people the whole time. i cleaned my room and went through clothes and things like that. then a group of us went to applebees for our sunday routine to get half price appetizers after 9 oclock.

i woke up this morning with a terribly sore throat, so i took some airborne and slept a little more. work today was SO busy pretty much the whole day. we filled up pretty much two and a half times. it was the biggest tip day since i've worked there! i've been having a good time looking at a guide to london tea rooms that margaret got as a part of a package. i've picked out a few that i definitely want to go to!

it looks like i won't be able to have next week off (jmu's spring break), so i'll be sticking around harrisonburg and working. i'm bummed, but i had kind of been planning on having to work, so at least it's not a surprise. there will be other people around still, including some of the girls from the house.

i'm STILL working on reading 'east of eden', i'm about half way through. i'm really enjoying steinbeck's writing, and the story lines are really developing and coming together. i also just picked up a book called "the shack" which is supossed to be the 'pilgrim's progress" for our generation, so i'm excited to read that. alright enough for now!
