I drove today with someone who could actually drive. My drivers ed teacher, Mr. Dees. I learned some more and overall had a good time. The only bad part was I had to get up 10 till 7! For those who know me and those who don't here is a fact about me. I DON'T DO MORNINGS!!!!!!!!! I must say though this morning I was not in a bad mood just tired. : ) Which I quickly got over as soon as I got behind the wheel and had to name the 6 predriving steps and the 5 steps to safe backing. Do you know them? : ) Anyways I came home and went to bed! I was tired. I didn't sleep just read. The last hour I've been texting my new friend, Justin, and playing the piano. My room has stayed cleaned so far. : ) Ain't nothing else to say. Katie

Hey Y'all! I got home Wednesday night tired and grumpy. So I go in my room and it is a disaster, and with that statement I maybe sugar-coating a bit. Anyways I couldn't stand it so I shut the door and went out into the office. Where my parents were catching up in a way that I didn't want to bother them. They were discussing bills. : ) So I go back inside and walk inside the bathroom. It needed a good scrubbin. It's about 10:00 at night and I am scrubbin the bathroom. I get done with that and go back in my room. I threw everything off my bed and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning and threw two huge bags full of junk away, cleaned out my closet and dresser, got rid of my computer that crashed, threw the computer desk in Jays room, stole Jays nightstand, and rearranged my furniture. My room is no longer a disaster and I sleep much better at night. Maddie is over so we will see how much longer my clean room lasts. Well its Friday night and I'm stuck home with a 4 yr old and two aging parents. : ) Not exactly how most 15 yr olds spend their Friday nights. I don't mind much. : ) Mom just order pizza and I am hungry! I can't wait! Dad is working this weekend. Tomorrow I have to take the driving part of drivers ed. I'm a little nervous and a whole lot excited! I'll let ya know how it goes. Tuesday night we start revival with Bro. Tresse. Hopefully it will be a good one. Here I am rambling on and on and I forget to tell you the best news of the century. Oh my goodness! Well last Friday Mom, Mamaw, and I went to visit Justin in the hospital. He was in horrible pain! So the nurse gave him something for him, but he had a reaction to the medicine and had a serious anxiety attack. Mom and Mamaw started praying for him and he started praying as well. He prayed until he got saved. Praise the Lord! It's been amazing to watch him. If the Lord can save Justin the Lord can save anybody! Well I must go! Have a great weekend! Katie

Getting ready that fast was tough. I had know idea that we were going anwhere this weekend. I had planned on staying home, Since are Senior Day plans had failed. Just another surprise from life... And mom. : ) well I am on the road typing away on my moms blackberry with Henri in my lap. Yep, life is good. Katie. LEAVE ME A COMMENT!!!!

Hey! Nothing much has happened since my last update, but I'm in the mood to type. So I figure I better update now before years go by. :) Mom and I did a little cleaning today. Actually we did a whole lot of cleaning. We cleaned out our attic. Talk about interesting, especially coming from a family like mine. : ) I didn't fine anything that was really incriminating to long past sins, but we had fun. I found a lot of pictures of me when I was a baby. Trust me I look way better now. LOL We also cleaned out moms hope chest so I could use it. What for? I'm not sure myself, because I've decided that I will be kmm for ever! While unless some handsome knight comes sweeping me off my feet. That's very unlikely of course, but a girl can dream. : ) While I must get ready for church. Megan has the service so I'm sure it will be interesting. Later! Katie

I passed the written part of drivers ed. I don't know when I'm supposed to take the driving part. Probably when I'm in MO. That would be really annoying. School is fine. Monotonous of course. I worked with Papaw today. We had fun. It was just us two. I think we got a lot done. I'm not sure if I really helped out a lot, but it was fun and neat to watch. We (mostly Papaw) laid laminate. It looks really good. Nothing else to say. Just wanted to give a quick update on my where abouts. Which I will go ahead and say that I will be leaving a week from today. I'm going to MO then from there to Illinois for Senior Day at BMI. I'm hoping that we will have fun. At least I will be able to see my friends for a coupla days. Leave a comment. Katie

Hey Y'all! How's it going? All is fine and well here in these parts. : ) I am in my last week of drivers ed! That is soo hard to believe. I've had a lot of fun. Today the guy sitting beside was throwing salt packets and spitballs at each other. Then Wayne, the guy that sits beside me, started throwing spitballs onto the ceiling where they stuck. Wayne threw but instead of sticking like it was supposed to it came crashing down right on someones head. Ya want to know who's. MINE! I was mad. I told him that I was going to kill him. All in good jest, but that was sick! What was even worse we all got yelled at for laughing during the movie. Which made us laugh even more. I did not learn a lot. Most of the time we were cutting. Wayne threw at least 10 spit balls on the ceiling. Robert, the guy that sits across from, threw an open salt packet at Wayne. It got salt everywhere, but most importantly on Wayne and on his stuff. Poor Wayne had salt all in his hair. We laughed at that one too. We just a stare from Mr. Fisher that time. I had a lot of fun today as you can tell. Lindsay, the girl that sits across from, is really nice. Lindsay and Robert are siblings so it's really cool. I'm really depressed that drivers ed is all most all over. I've had sooooooooooooo much fun! School is fine. Very boring! Nothing else to say! Later!

Tuesday, September 9, 2008

I have completed two days of drivers ed, so far. I kinda rather like it. I have 10 more days left. I also have my first test tomorrow. A little scary, but I should do fine. I hope! : ) Nothing else is new. Jay, Grams, and Pops all went to Ohio for the week. So I am left at home all by my lonesome. Somebody want to come visit me? : ) I would really like some company. In time like these the cell phone is a great invention. Now if I can just find somebody who wants to hear my ramble on about crazy stuff I'll be fine. ; ) School is going fine I'm another two weeks ahead of schedule. So that makes me 6 weeks ahead!!!! I'd say that is pretty impressive for only working on it for 4 weeks. So I'm averaging about a PACE/Module a week. Just what I wanted to do. Maddie is going to come over if her mom will let her. So I guess she will be my visitor. I'm going to go eat supper now. Later!

Saturday, September 6, 2008

As you can see Henri did get a haircut. I'm not sure whether or not I like it. He seems to so I guess really that's all that matters. I checked out that piano teacher. Seems like he knows his stuff so that is where I will be taking lessons from now on. Megan, Malachi, and Madalyne came over last night. We had a lot of fun visiting with them. Megan helped me pick out my clothes for my pictures. I talked her into going with me when I get them done. I know we will have fun. Not a whole lot going on around here. Same old stuff that I hate to write about. Leave me a comment! Later!

September 4, 2008
Hey! I went to the dentist today. My cavity is now fixed. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would. Which relieved me greatly. I hate getting a cavity filled, but my dentist is very efficient. Hopefully someday I will be as efficient as she is. : ) I am now a quarter of a way down with my school. I told mom this year I had a theme song. It goes something like this, "One way or another, I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha. One way or another I'm gonna getcha." I have now idea who sings that songs, and I am positive they did not mean it in the sense that I am using it. Who cares though. I went to this guys house to see if he would be able to teach me piano, but he said that I was to advanced for him. He only had one arm. He said he had a stroke or something like that. I was rather disappointed, but Mom found another guy or we are going to go see what he is like tomorrow. I'm excited! He said that he taught the hymn book the "theory way." Since I can not play by ear- how most pianist play out of the hymn book- maybe this will really help me. I'll let ya know how it goes. Mom, Meg, and I had a sewing party this evening. It was a lot of fun. Mom didn't get to sew much. I don't think it bothered her though. Meg was working on this really funky dress, but the material was not right for the pattern. I just messed around with some fabric. I haven't taken any pictures recently. Which reminds me. I am getting my pictures taken a week from tomorrow. Jay was going to have his done as well, but he will be in Ohio. He might not go since he has a dentist appointment next Thursday. He has TWO cavities!!! That's why he has to go. Since I can't think of anything else to write. Good bye!

Saturday, August 30, 2008

It's Saturday! So I am taking the precious time to update my blog and put pictures from way back then on here. Actually most of the pictures are the ones that I have been promising to put up and haven't done so. The first set are of PA Camp, then AL Camp, and then summer pictures that were taken over at Meg's and beyond. Some of them are just plain crazy! That's us though so can't really help ya there. Mom might have found me a piano teacher. She called and left a message so now we are waiting on his return call. Who knows how long we will wait. I am almost a quater ways done with school!!!! It's been pure misery. JK! I've actually have really been enjoying it. I usually get up around 10 or 11, eat breakfast, start school, and quit by 2:30. So really I don't have a hard day. I take next to no breaks though. I get distracted and can't pick back up where I left off if I do. So I just work solid for about 4 hours. It's working for me. I've made 100's on all of my test except for one. I made a 97. I was really mad too. I went to the dentist yesterday. I was soooo mad! I have a cavity. I don't see how in the world I could get a cavity. I'm a teeth fanatic! It's just not right! So I'm going back Thursday to get it fixed. : ( Last night we went to Cary. Mom and I went to the mall. We dropped Dad and Jay off at the bookstore. Mom got me the coolest jean jacket! Since my shoulders are so small most jean jackets are huge on me. This one fits perfect! I love it! Thanks Momma! : ) Dad woke me up this morning with the most wonderful way you can be awaken. He brought me a glass of orange juice! I was shocked. I told him about a family who did something like that. I didn't think he would do it though. Life's little surprises. : ) Nothing else to type so I'm going to go annoy Jay, Mom, and Dad. Enjoy the pictures!

Monday, August 25, 2008

School has now been in session for one complete week. WOW! I have done almost two months worth in two of my subjects. In the other three subjects I have done two weeks worth. That's a lot! Trust me! I haven't really been that stressed about it. I know that if I keep a smooth steady pace I will get in done in time. Anyways who wants to talk about school. I am officially enrolled in driver's ed. Don't ask me why, but in the state of NC you have to take driver's ed before you can get your permit. That's crazy, because you have to have 6 hrs of driving before you can pass the test. So whatever. Basically they're going to let you drive without a permit. CRAZY! Mamaw and Papaw went to Ohio for the week. They are coming back Friday or Saturday. I can't remember which. We were going to go later on this week for the weekend, but I don't think dad is going to be able to get off from work. So there goes that idea. Mamaw, Mom and I might go shopping instead. Jay can go fishing with Papaw and Dad can work. See fits perfect. Nothing else is really going on. Mom is cooking at the moment, Dad is sleeping, and Jay is annoying Mom in the kitchen. He was making me crazier when I was in there so I left to inform you about me. : ) Since I have done that. Good bye! : )

Thursday, August 21, 2008

Hey! It's been awhile! Sorry! We went back to PA Camp Wednesday night. We pulled an all nighter and got in around 4 something. Not bad really. We took Maddie and Mally with us. Which surprisingly they were really good. Bro. Ewald did not like the silly string fights. I got more than one can confiscated. A real bummer. Anyways I pulled my prank. I have pictures and as soon as I can get the time to download them I will post them. I took glass chalk and wrote all over the BMI car. I was really mad, because I did it about 3 in the morning and by the time we got up the dew had messed it up pretty bad. So I redid it during the BMI service. I wrote "Danny + Miguel 4-ever!' on the side windows and 'JUST MARRIED" on the back. They took it very well. Though they did wipe off Danny. :) That just made me enjoy my joke even more. I had alot of fun. After I did that I went to the BMI Service. Ashley and I put on bubba teeth. We smiled at Miguel. After the service we asked him about.He said that he almost lost it, but if he did he didn't show. I did see a hidden grin in the beginning of the service though. I had fun. It's nice when people can take a joke. Mom and I are going to Senior Day in October. I'm excited! Jillayne might be going as well. I really hope so. I started school back on Monday. I finally finished all of last years stuff and have a major start on this years. My stuff is so easy. After doing World Geography, World History is easy! I am also doing New Testament Survey. Since I've only been going to church since I was a newborn it's cake. English can't really tell yet. I just did the first 10 pages. I did a module in Physical Science last night. It was alright. I'm not sure if I am going to like it or not. Mom said that if I finish all of 10th grade subjects besides Algebra 2 by Christmas I can get my permit in January. So I am working really hard to do so. I love a challenge. Mom knew what she was doing when she came up with this. I know that if I pull really hard I can do it. After I finish 10th grade I'm going to move on to 11th. So I might graduate when I'm 16. Go to BMI for a year or two than go to college. See I can go to Bible college when I'm 16 graduate from there when I'm 18 and got to a secular college right after. Sounds like the perfect plan to me. I love a challenge. Anyways that's all the new news. Later!

Hi! I am so proud of Micah! He graduated at the top of his class. The graduation ceremony was very nice. They had a video clip at the end of the ceremony. It was really neat. It gave you a good idea of what they had to go through to get where they are today. We are leaving really early tomorrow morning. I want to leave tonight A.S.A.P! There are those who do not though. : ( Anyways mom and I cleaned the house, paid the bills, and repacked. So we are ready to go again. I have found a new addiction. Well I love to scrapbook. Yesterday I was just messing around with some paper and pictures. I wanted to do a little something for some pictures to put in my Bible. I make the cutest pages. They are really tiny, but they won't fit in my Bible. So whatever. The only problem is I don't think they make sleeves and books for this particular size. So I'm not sure what I am going to do with them. They are really cute. I'm going to take them to camp with me. Most of them are vacation pictures, but some are of Jay and I. Then I did another page of Mom and I. I haven't showed it to her yet. I think she will like it. I'll be back Monday the 10Th from PA. Type ya then!

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Since I'm never home I feel like I should post as much as I can. I had a good day. I went to Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree and got my things for PA Camp. I would watch out Miguel and Danny. I have done some serious brainstorming the last few days. Jay is being his normal annoying self. Mom is cleaning like she always does, and Dad is working. I am trying to talk Dad into going to PA Camp with us. I think he would enjoy it. He's never been to a church camp in his life! That is like nearly impossible for me to imagine. I love church camp!!! Anyways he wasn't very receptive to the idea. Micah's graduation is tonight. I am very proud of him. I forgot my camera in PA so there will be no pictures of this event. Sorry!

August 4, 2008
Hey! I am home for a a short break! I had a blast at AL Youth Camp! I can not even describe the fun I had down there! We left home about 9 or so. Not really sure but we got down there just a little after 6. Jillayne and I shared a room. I put a dead bug in her bed on the last night. She was so tired it didn't even scare her. LOL! We had a water fight and I have an on-going water silly string fight with Miguel. I'll explain that later. We were divided into 3 teams. Each team had a BMI student as their captain. I was on Danny's team. We had fun if for no reason other than we won. : ) Just Kidding. Megan, Luke, Buddy, Michi, Danny, and I made up our team. Miguel, Andy, Jay, Abby, Andrea, made up another team. Ray, Jake, Dwayne, Mark, Jillayne, and Ashley made up the last team. We all had a blast! Now for the explanation on Miguel and I. Abby, Megan, and Miguel were going to silly string my mom and I. Unfortunate for them we figured it out. So I told Abby not to spray. She didn't. She ran after Luke or somebody. Well I was sitting on the family dorm steps taking pictures. Not really wanting to be in the middle of it. Having fun watching them instead. Miguel comes up behind me and silly strings me! I was not really happy, but not really mad either. I was going to let it slide, and just pretend it never happened. He wasn't about to let that happen. He gets me again. I think this time it was with water or maybe it was with more silly string. I can't remember. Anyways I got him back. We had a water fight on the last day and we got each other drenched plus I got Dwayne really good. The last night we talked my mom into staying up while we pulled pranks and played games. So I made up a concoction of sugar and water and dumped it all over Miguel. So he and Jake get a glass of water and a cup of coffee creamer. Which Miguel pours the water over my head and Jake poured the creamer over my head. It made a sticky mess!!! I was really mad after that!! I think I made another concoction of sugar and water or something like. Well I got so sick of him doing stuff like that that I made up a disgusting concoction of shampoo, conditioner, Pepsi, water, sugar, and flour. I poured that over his head. After that we called a truce so we could play some games. We played hide and go seek for a couple of hours. That was a lot of fun. Jay and I tried to teach them how to play den. Everybody was tired and they really couldn't apply themselves into learning the game. We played freeze tag instead. I had a lot of fun. Since I'm really a tom boy at heart I loved it! About 1:30 am everyone got tired enough to sit down and talk. I was sitting next to Michi trying to get him to give me a bottle of silly string when Miguel comes up behind and dumps a bucket of water over my head! It was clear full! Not only did he do that, but he also got me with shaving cream. It wasn't that bad, but he got it in my ear. It was rather hard to get out, but whatever. I got me a cup of creamer and since he was still wet from our earlier fun I was going to dump it on him and get him all sticky like he did me. Instead I got silly string all in his hair. Which his hair really drives me crazy because it's always perfect! We finally go to bed. I had the last say that night. The next morning however he had the last say. I was really sad that we had to leave so I wasn't really in the mood to get him back either. I was loading up the van when he got me with silly string once again. It didn't' really bother me, but I have my revenge planned out. We made it to PA Camp Saturday morning right in time for conference. Actually we were a couple of minutes late. We had a really good service Sunday morning. I would tell you how the service was Saturday night, but I was sleeping instead. I fell asleep at the laundry mat, and didn't get up except for moving from the table in the laundry mat, to the van, to the bed. My mom has a picture of me sleeping at the laundry mat. If I get the chance I will try to post it before I leave to go back to PA Camp. Sunday night the Lord came in such a way that we didn't even have preaching. We young people sang. The Lord really helped us. The altars were full. By the end of the night several reported victories. Monday morning we left around 6 to go home for Micah's graduation. I really hope he appreciates this because I was going to stay up there and just forget about him! I really was. I had my parents permission and everything. At the last minute though I decided I better go and show that I support him. Aren't I so sweet? : ) We made it in. I am almost sick of traveling. Almost. : ) When we go back to camp on Thursday the BMI guys will be there. So I have lots planned for a certain someone. : )

July 28, 2008
Hey Ya'll! Guess what happened today? Some of you probably guessed it, but anyways. I GOT MY BRACES OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that like the most exciting thing ever. They fill soo different! If you have/had braces you'll know exactly what I am talking about. I love it! It TOTALLY changed my look. As soon as I get my camera mom is going to take my picture so I can put it on my blog. Then you'll understand what I mean about changing my looks. : ) Everything else is the same. We are going crazy packing for camp. Since we leave tomorrow everything has to be done tonight. I am almost all the way packed. All I have left is my toiletries. I gave Henri a bath and like he was feisty and crazy! I'm serious! It was rather funny. I have to get off of here so I can make a board of the Youth Revivals for the Northeast District. Later! The picture is coming!

July 26, 2008
I'm back! It's wonderful to be home! I really missed home, but had a wonderful time on vacation. My mom didn't do a good job at keeping my blog updated. She liked doing mine so well that she forgot about it and started her own. Go figure. : ) I kept a journal during vacation. Some people think I should put it up on my blog. So I am going to take some parts out of it.
Monday, July 7, 2008
We left at 4:57 am. Larry leading us on to Lincoln, NE. As was we pulled out of the driveway it started raining. Not bad actually. Just barely sprinkling. About a mile down the road we had to pull over. Larry's luggage rack on top of his van was not strapped down well enough. They got it fixed and were back on the road. At 4:4something we pulled into Mormon Island Campground. It is a very nice campsite. We traveled 653 miles in about 11 and a half hours. That is really good timing for all the times we stopped. Mamaw got the happy camper award.

Thursday, July 10, 2008

They had gotten our whitewater rafting tickets. So we ate lunch, piled in the truck, and took off. We got there excited and ready for anything. ( we meaning Papaw, Mamaw, Larry, Justin, Cody, I, Dillon, Jay, Wyatt, Malachi, and Josie) Wyatt almost backed out, but Mamaw talked him into staying. On the first part of the trip Malachi and Wyatt rode in the front of the raft. I mean the very front! They got drenched!!!!!! It was to much for Wyatt. Malachi loved it! Wyatt moved in the back. When he moved in the back Josie and Justin moved up front. Josie loved it almost as much as Malachi. Dillon almost fell off. It was really funny. I almost fell off as well, but grabbed a hold of Jay before any damage was done. On the second part of the trip Dillon and I sat beside each other. For some reason our side got drenched! The water was cold as well. We all had soo much fun. Maddie was very sad. She really wanted to go. I know she would have loved it. She bawled for a half hour. She finally snapped out of it. Sherry was thankful for that.

Sunday, July 13, 2008

Mamaw made butterscotch oatmeal. It was good. Almost all of it was gone. So Larry told Jay to "clean the bowl." Meaning for Jay to eat the rest. Which Jay did, and that would have been fine. Except we forgot that Josie hadn't gotten any. Justin mentioned something about saving some for her, but it kind of slipped our minds. When Justin came to get some for Josie he blew up. Him and Jay really got into it. Since they both have big mouths the argument was really loud. So Papaw came around and told them (really Jay) to shut up. Which they did. No more has been said about it ...yet. : ) Justin fixed Josie some instant oatmeal so no serious harm was done. Once everything was calmed down we had Sunday School. It was nice. We did the usual sing songs, pray, and read the lesson. Afterwards everyone went there own way,

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

We made it to SD. Larry spotted a campground. It was perfect! It had showers, electricity, water, and a Landry mat. We were soo happy! The showers were wonderful! We had real food to eat. Everyone was perfectly happy. Until later that evening. Justin told Jay and Dillon to set up his tent. So they get to work and have it almost all set up except for the rain guard. When something snapped. Justin happened to be around. He went into a carnal fit! Poor Dillon got the tongue lashing of the century! Justin really let him have it. They fixed the tent and everything is fine now. I seriously doubt that Justin will tell Jay and Dillon to set up his tent. : )

Friday, July 18, 2008

Today is the last day of vacation. We are in Independence MO right now. We got this morning and it was raining. After raining so bad last night that we had stop at a hotel and it was still raining. Too bad for us. We loaded up and hit the road. We get on the road and what do you Dillon cuts his thumb. He gets sick at the site of his blood and throws up. Lucky for everyone we had a plastic bag around for him. He's better now. It's only 9:00 am and we've already had this much fun. We made it to Larry's around 3:00. We were happy to be at a real house. Justin left as soon as he loaded up and took a shower. We stayed at Larry's for the night. I slept out in the church. I really like doing that. We plan on leaving in the morning. Our next stop is, McArthur, OH.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008
We left at 8:18. We are heading HOME!!! FINALLY! Three wonderful weeks of vacation are now history. It has been an AWESOME vacation.

That was my last entry in my journal. We made it home around five and was I glad to be home. Mom was happy to Jay and I. Meg was happy to see her kids as well. We had a really good. Now that this trip is history it's time to start planning the next one. Next stop Jasper, AL.! : ) Can't wait to see to you Alabamians. I am going down there for Youth Camp then going to PA for church camp. I know I'm going to have the next 2 weeks. Besides all of this going on Monday I get my braces off! I am so excited! I will have straight teeth without the metal. I have been counting the days down for the last 2 weeks!!!! I am going to post some pictures of vacation as soon as get them downloaded once I get them downloaded I will immediately put them up so you can see all the fun I had.

Takeover By Mom

Katie and Jay are on vacation with Mom and Dad for the next two weeks so, unbeknown to Katie, I (her mother) have taken over her blog! I've been tossing around the idea of starting my own blog, but I thought I would try hers out first! The family has been gone since last Wednesday and if you know me at all I get a little crazy when my kids are gone! They seem to keep me grounded. I've been kind of wandering around the house listlessly and talking to the animals. Robert has been keeping me entertained, but he had to work yesterday and today! I am trying to make the most of my time, but there's only so much you can clean! Robert has been teaching me to ride his motorcycle! I told him he didn't know what he was starting! Of course, his bike is too big for me so I need to get one that fits me! :) We actually went looking for one this past weekend! I didn't really find one that I liked. One salesman was appalled that I could actually ride a motorcycle in a dress! He thought that was awful! I guess he's never been exposed to a lady! Well, I must go wander around the house some more!

June 26, 2008
Hello hello! I made it back from AL Camp last night. We made it home around 10:30 or 11:00. I had soo much fun down there! Even though some of they guys were annoying it was still fun. I really surprised Abby and Jillayne. I got 'em good. They were so not expecting to see me. We got there when they were in service. So we walked in late. Since there was 7 of us we made quite the entrance. Everyone turned around and they were surprised to see us! : ) After church I was greeted by alot of happy teenagers. Saturday was fun cuz the adults had to go to conference so us teens ran around. It was fun! Jay and Dillon behaved themselves for the most part. There were a few times when I could have slapped them both. : ) I didn't and they were thankful for that. Monday and Tuesday was great! We talked, watched the guys, and gossiped a little : ). Nah, I'm joking about the gossiping part. It was alot of fun. Wednesday we stayed until the morning service started. So that meant that we went to Young People's. It was really good. They guy was old and very funny. I can't remember his name because I've been seriously sleep deprived. Megan kept us up till 2 am almost every night! I'll post the those pictures later. : ) We are all very sad to be home. I am hoping that the Southeast District will have a youth camp which we can attend. Actually EVERYONE is hoping this. : ) It's up to Bro. Walker though. Abby and Jillayne took a picture of my empty seat and sent it to my phone. It was very sad. I need to go get ready for piano lessons. Katie
