past few days

last night my parents and sister went up to indiana to help my cousin move back here. that means i had the house all to myself. my cousin's house up in indiana was one of the houses on the underground railroad. she says that sometmes her radio would just come on and rap music would be playing and she never listens to rap. she has a closet in her bedroom with another little door in it that when you open it, there's a tunnel that goes all the way down to the basement that the slaves would go in. i think its kinda cool. i also went to the simpsons movie last night and i must say it was the funniest movie i've seen all summer! it was so good. i highly recommend going to see it!
random event of the week: this past wednesday night at youth, linda locke led because jonathon was out of town. we watched a movie about umcor and then all went to sonic and let the church pay for each of us a drink. that's usually what a night with linda leading is like. a video and something free. another time she lead we all got treated by the church to baskin robins!
school starts for wilson county this wednesday!! im half excited as it's my first year as an upperclassman. but the other half is disappointed becuase this means practically no more free time. we finally get our yearbooks that day too!
summer sizzler is next weekend! im excited. it's my favorite conference event.

youth 2007

heyyyy! this past sunday i got back from youth 2007 in greensboro, nc. we stayed at the sheraton hotel and it was right next to a 3 story mall! i went to that mall everyday... partially becuase that was practically the only place to get food. well it was fun other than just the mall. our worship feast area turned out great! there were so many people coming through everyday. we had a tight schedule to go by each day so there wasnt really that much free time unless you skipped the "splatshops" aka the workshops. we would get up each morning and go to morning devo. then get out to the convention center for the morning session. right after that would be mid-day prayers then lunch. we either would go to the splatshops or just have free time untill dinner and after dinner we'd go to night session. the night sessions lasted til about 1030 and we would go back for compline (the night-time devo). after that we could stay up as late as we wanted and that was usually about 1. each night we had a different band preform in addition to our house band-fusebox.
