Weekends...

Where do I begin??? It was an eventful weekend for me. (pics have now been added...)
I believe that I must have been oxygen deprived or something to have done all of this!!

Thursday night, I went with Micki, Ryan, T-Barry and Paul to see Pirates (arrgh) of the Caribbean at 10pm. I wasn't extremely impressed with the movie although the crab rocks part was kinda cool along with sailing into the cave (or whatever that was). I love the outdoor/ocean views they show. As far as the movie, not worth getting home at almost 2am for me! The company was great though!

Then Friday we have the most incredible Sparkle event we've had yet in my own humble opinion. THE LUAU! We had 15 amazing God chicks make "purity commitments" (choosing to live pure lives for Christ) with their parents or significant adults in their lives. We had hamburgers and hot dogs (special thanks to Paula for bailing us out with the grill at the last minute!!!!!!!!), ate some great desserts, took pictures and then took a dip in the pool. It was great! I managed to wind down about 12:30am. I was so blown away at what God had done.

Then Saturday I picked up my nephew for a few hours. Micki & I took him to McDonald's where he played for almost an hour in the playland. I sure wish I could fit in that playland! Kinda boring just watching. But the new Mickey D's Sweet Tea was great! Then we ended up at the mall riding the carousel after he endured Target' and Linens n' Things with us. He rode one short ride for $2 (who comes up with these prices??). Afterwards, we were off to the house we went where he and Mic did a hula and ate chips!! Great afternoon!

Later that night, Mic and I landed at Pastor T's house for another amazing night of Pathfinder fun! We had a lock-in at the Laser Tag. I believe I left my game at the house because I flat out stunk! Maybe because it was the middle of the night when I was trying to compete, and my mind thought I should be sleeping or something like that. There was a moment of sabotage that was uncovered in the wee hours of the morning. I'll mention no names (cough, Mic, Tori, cough, Paintball Lance/Steve, Menk). I'll leave that story for someone else to tell. It was a brilliant plan if I might say so myself! So at 6am, I climbed into the bed for a couple hours of sleep. Up at 10am for breakfast and a fast shower...then it was off to 12pm service where I was completely moved at the end of service praying for our other campus locations and Micki, Lacie & T-Berry. Such awesome kids with hearts on fire for God! I just love our youth and our church. It's by far the best place to be!

With all of that said (if you are still reading this I am impressed!), I didn't get much sleep this weekend! I'm really looking forward to this weekend coming and this summer. Summer Session/Navigate is kicking off! Camp is only 3 1/2 weeks away! Then it's off to South Carolina to visit family that we miss a lot! Woo Hoo! I have some pictures from above that I'll add later tonight. No time now, it's off to work!
