A Valentine's Day Survey.


For Valentine's Day, I went to a concert with two of my good friends. It was amazing. I watched some hilarious youtube videos:

Have you ever gotten something from someone on the day?
Yes. School valentines, back in the day.

Life is a Highway

I'm home from Winter Retreat 2009. There are so many emotions and thoughts flying through my head. I just slept for 12 hours. I talked Emily's ear off the whole way home last night.

If it was possible to freeze moments forever, these are the ones I would freeze:

Brandon telling us to make love our identity, not our strategy.

Singing Mighty to Save with one arm around Kimmee and the other around Levi.

"That's a huge fan."

Making videos about the wood flavored soup with Joci and Taylor.

Looking around the room as a hundred or so of my peers cried and worshipped together.

"What the E-sharp?!"

Joci's asthmatic horse.

Hugging Kimmee until I couldn't breathe.

Levi-Alyssa Talks on the bus.

Dancing with Kimmee during "I am Free" *Charlie Brown!*

Talking to Megan by the sinks in the bathroom every day :D

That part of one of the videos Rocky made where David Anthony tries to kiss the camera.

Teaching Jerry what REAL music is.

Playing spoons, butter knives, "Bible Study," and Egyptian Rat...slap? screw? I refuse to enter THAT debate.

From the Inside Out

Lip Sync. All of it.

Never calling Mallory by her name, just "Twin."

Begging to be humbled.

The multiple epic failures that were videos with Rocky and Joci.

Finally being on the winning team.

Realizing that I was completely surrounded by people who WOULD NOT let me fail.

Kat & Emmy rocking out to Born to be Wild *Kat

The "camp situation" that turned out to be pizza *Kat

The pillow attack of death *Doug

Levi's sardines *after everyone is done yelling and holding their noses* "Want some?" "NO! I DO NOT WANT ANY!!!" *Jess

"So, how do you want me for this?" *Jess
