more to come....i have to go to bed....

a sardines game to go down in history...

so, last night, we had youth group...we were preparing for the youth conference that's next weekend. after we were mostly done, we played sardines!! it is sooooo fun!! especially in a really dark church with a bunch of crazy teens!! so, we went through a couple rounds, some easy, some not too easy, but not terribly difficult, until, *dundundunnnn* sophie and kaeleigh hid (*gasp!*). yes, you all should be very scared! lol!! everyone was searching for at least 20 minutes, and no one had found them. now, our church is not exactly huge, so everyone was really confused, we had searched all the church at least 10 times!! no one was disappearing, it was rough. then, bekah and i were searching in the secret passage way, and all of a sudden, we hear a scream. i recognized it as kaeleigh. we were confused, we had already check everywhere back there, where were they?? we decided to check the only place no one had check yet, the robe closet *dundundunnnnn*. turns out, that's where they were!! what do you know! so, we were the 1st to find them! :) go bekah and me!! lol! so, we hung out there for at least 15 minutes, if not more, until kevin found us! it's a pretty small closet, so it was awkward and hot in there. lots of fun! lol! before kevin found us, we said we were going to get out at 8:00 if no one found us (it was 7:45 when we said that), and kevin found us around 7:55. people were calling us to find out where we were, it was pretty funny! we tried to call kevin, but he wasn't picking up...anyways, everyone finally found us, it was one of the longest rounds i've ever played! ...it was a sardines game to go down in history!

i think i'm dreaming...

yesterday, i went to see a camera...and i brought it home with me! one of the men at my church, grandpa jack, offered to sell me a Nikon D100 camera, lens, and flash for $400 (i think...somewhere around there...)!!!! this is an insanely amazing price, because all together, it would cost a couple thousand $$ full price!! what a blessing! :) so, yesterday i went to see it, and he gave me a quick overview, and now i'm basically test driving it!! i love it!! it's really awesome, and i'm having so much fun!! here are some of the pictures (i know, not the best, but i'm still learning, and i haven't even had it for 24 hours yet!!)
