MY Spring Break

Happy Easter!!

I have been at home this weekend for what i have been considering my spring break. As most of you know, the chick fil a opening went off without any problems. Most of us drove down wednesday morning arriving in warrenton at about 6am. After getting registered as numbers 10-18 we set up our tents and prepared for the rain and weather. It rained during most of the middle of the day, but then it stopped for the rest of the afternoon/evening and into the night. It started to drizzle again as we were getting in our tents to go to sleep. We got our coupons and hit the road as quickly as possible because some of the girls had class thursday morning and fun stuff like that.

After returning to harrisonburg i took a nice long nap and shower and then got ready and come home to lynchburg. i got here in time to eat dinner with daddy (chicken on the grill of course). Mamma has been out in california so it's just been the two of us. He has been working on putting a doorway in from the living room to the back hallway and i've been trying to help (by holding the vaccum cleaner). i treated daddy to chick fil a one night for dinner and then we went to nannie and pop's last night with greg.

today i went to church at redeemer and pastor mike spoke about john chapter 11 when lazerus dies and jesus weeps. it was an incredible lesson and service. this weekend i also read an incredible book that i think all of you should read. it's called "The Shack" by William P. Young, check it out at www.theshackbook.com. i don't think there is any way to read this book and not be changed, either in your perception of god or in how your heart approaches him. you will cry, you will laugh, you should definitely read it.

i havn't decided if i'm heading back to harrisonburg tonight or in the morning. i normally don't have to go into work on mondays until 11 so it wouldn't have to rush back, but we'll see. that's all for now!

Spring has sprung... at least for now

It is spring time!!! I don't think that it is supossed to stay as warm as it was today, but i want it to! The past few days have been so beautiful. On wednesday we had club outside playing kickball and duck duck goose (still a favorite game for all us inlcuding college students haha). Yesterday i got to come home from work and hang out on the trampoline and take a nap in the sun, probably one of the most glorious things in the world :-D Today had bible study in the morning and then went in to work and then we had leadership for young life and we got three new teammates!! jenna, josh, and sarah: welcome to the spotswood team!

i have to work tomorrow from 11 till 5 and then i'm not sure if there is anything going on at the soupbowl. Last night we had a murder mystery party which was pretty fun. we got a late start so i was tired, but it was quite a funny experience!

i'm really looking forward to this coming week because some of us are going to a chick fil a opening in warrenton, which is about an hour and half away. then i'm going home for easter weekend whih will be nice. it feels like i havn't been home in a while.

mk that's all for now!

Ghost Town no Longer

Well, everyone made their big return from their travels this afternoon! This week has been pretty fun, lots of random stuff and hanging out. Street and i went to the green valley book fair on wednesday which was super fun. i have never been before, but now i want to go all the time! i got a bunch of great books for about 20 bucks total.

it's been fun sharing stories and catching up from a week away from eachother... what are we going to do in the future when we don't see eachother every day!?! i really don't know...

in other news, we ran out of oil for our heat and we decided that it's not worth it to fill it up since the cold weather is almost over and we won't be here to use the oil next year. so we're braving the cold and wearing sweatshirts to bed. currently it is 52 degrees in our house, and not getting any warmer... i really hope it gets warm soon

off to bed

Down to Two

Well, spring break has officially begun, and the rest of the soupbowl has left street and me to fend for ourselves... michelle, sarah, and amy headed up to mel's house this afternoon. this weekend has been fun though, a lot of random stuff. on friday night six of us went down to staunton for dinner at the baja bean which has great mexican food. the food is much more like what we would get in california, not like the la carreta nonsence here. then we went down the street to a place called the bistro where there was a band playing and a lot of young people, and we played foosball for a good while. yesterday i had to work till 5 and then when i got home we fixed dinner and a few of the guys came over. after we were done eating we decided that we wanted to go to sonic... which is in waynesboro... which is 30 minutes away. so we all hopped in jeremy's dad's conversion van and rode down to sonic in waynesboro for some cream slushes yummm. then we came back and watched step up... great movie by the way haha.

today street and i went to the late service at cov pres and then came back and hung out with the other girls as they were getting ready to head out. they all got in the car and headed out probably around 2:30 or so. it was so nice out this afternoon so paul and matt suggested that we go to the driving range... so street, paul, matt, and i went to the driving range. all i can say is that i have not gotten any better than when i went with my dad in high school... haha. it was really fun though and so nice to be out in the sun. then we came back here and started a fire in the pit and cooked some hot dogs and hung out. it's been a great weekend, very relaxing.

this week i am working the morning shifts (8-3) every day except wedensday which i have off. i actually prefer the morning shift since it means i have most of the afternoon to do what i want.

everyone (who is still in town) is out in the hang out area watching a movie, but i'm in bed getting ready to go to sleep so i don't start off the week tired. so goodnight everyone!
