You gotta love weekends! Time to take a little break from school and just relax a little and have some fun. Also, on Sunday we get to rest AND worship God! On Friday I babysat for Timothy Eacret then came home and watched "Big Fat Liar" with Allen. It was sooo funny! I laughed so hard! The story is pretty dumb, but there are some really funny parts! Plus, it was like one o'clock in the morning and that made it even funnier! On Saturday, I got woken up at 7:30 by my wonderful younger siblings. I went back to sleep for a little bit, but then had to get up for breakfast and I had a bunch of things to do before youth group. My dad succeeded in putting doors on my closet! But the only problem is there are still holes on either side of the doors so you can still see in the sides of the closet. My dad said he will try to get those closed up before I get married. I am soo comforted by that. After youth group, Mary and I had planned to go see Shrek 2 with my brothers and some of her siblings. Well, Allen took it opon himself to invite the whole youth group, as well! Not everybody could come, but we had a pretty good crowd there! We had nine people in our 8 passenger minivan. But it turned out to be a lot of fun. The movie isn't great, but it was in the dollar theater, so we thought it would be worth seeing again. When we got there, there were huugggee long lines. Thankfully, some of our group had gotten there before us. So Christy Straw ended up paying for about 10 tickets because we didn't want to get in the back of the line! It was very, very crowded in the theater, but we all managed to find seats. I had a lot of fun, even if we only watched a silly movie that I had already seen. :) On Sunday evening, my dad preached in Avon. Some people from 2nd RP are trying to start a church there. I got to see some of my fellow ECHOians, so that was neat. And there was food, so who can beat that! ;) Speech Last Thursday I gave my first speech. It was pretty scary and I decided I do NOT like alphabetical order! But one good thing about going first is you can get it over with and not have to wait through everyone else's being nervous. I got a lower grade than I had hoped for, but I did alright, I guess. There were some VERY good stories and speakers, though! This week the guys are supossed to do a Psalm explanation (sorry guys) and the s are doing a short devotional. I was having a really hard time getting started, but last night once I got an idea, it all went pretty well. I just started writing and kept going! I still have a lot to work on, but at least I have a good start! My dad told me that's how pastors feel. I was like, 'oh great I can relate with pastors now!' But I think this class will be challenging...to say the least. I love to talk, but that doesn't mean I love to talk in front of a bunch of people!!
