here is my entry about fall retreat. i really don't want to go into anything deep, but here goes. friday amanda drove me and martha up to newaygo got dinner in portland and i ate a whole order of crazy bread, and then we stopped and got a bunch of icecream first. later that night i took crazy pictures with amanda and bryce with my glasses. then i went into the dining hall and played jenga and encore witha few people till 3 or so in the morning. got 4 hours of sleep. breakfast isn't my favorite, but i ate some anyways. then it was james' next message. i think the small group time was one of the most beneficial things of the whole weekend. in the afternoon we went to the overlook and i climbed up the hill and found waterfalls and slid in the mud and had a lot of fun times. jud put a crayfish on his ear. then i played human foosball, and it was really fun, but violent. followed by dinner, another message from james and the 'i don't know what you call the splitting of the genders' part. then icecream. yummy. more pictures of people wearing my glasses. then the campfire. then at about 3 in the morning some of us decide to sleep out on the deck under the stars. i wer 3 pairs of pants and 4 shirts and some other warm things, grab my 2 blankets and we go down to the lake. victor, josh, christine, martha, shannon, amanda b, and i sleep out in the cold. getting about 2 hours of sleep that night [it was totally worth it though] was a little tough. then another message, communion and baptism, lunch, cleanup, an leaving time. i slept all the way home, well for an hour at least. overall the weekend was good in terms of funness, but in other ways the weekend wasn't the best at all, and the only one i can blame is myself. i got my pictures on photobucket. i would just like to share with you the quote of the weekend. - "my lips look really red in the picture" -danae "maybe it's because you're shirt's green. or maybe it's because the chair is red"
thats all. sorry its not deep, i didn't want it to be because i still haven't figured everything out.
