Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrazy

Welp, High Point has ended for the year. We finished last night with a Christmas party. It was probably the least planned out HP for me. I had heard that it was primarily a hang out time, but Kendra came up to me about an hour into it saying the students were ready to play a game.

I had back up thankfully, and we played two-minute movie: Christmas version. So, within 10min time, I watched the Grinch, Frosty the Snowman, Muppet Christmas Carol, Home Alone and Elf. It was fantastic, and hilarious! Poshak and Nicole gave out invisible awards such as least useful character (Austin B in Muppet), best representation of a character (Lebo as the "angry elf" in Elf), best actress (Beth G as Kevin from Home Alone)..

We followed that up with reading the Christmas story and singing some carols. We didn't really take it too seriously, but it was fun nonentheless. (Like singing "O Come, O Come Emmanuel"-ha!)

I've also been putting some stuff together for Christmas Spectacular. I don't have a part in it, sadly, but this means I get to help with other planning things, which isn't so bad. Besides, it's not like I could think of something to do for it. I am looking forward to the many acts (especially Ev's group).

Before all of this, Tuesday night was Operation Christmas Child.



A group had gone Monday night, but then another group of about 20something of us formed a few assembly lines to double check the Samaritan's Purse boxes. Three hours of a LOT of fun and laughs. Serving is more fun that way!

Switching gears, Janna is in town today!!!! I should be hanging out with her sometime soon :)

Without direction

Can you believe December is here? I'm usually on top of Christmas shopping, but seeing how I don't have any money, well..

But I should talk about Thanksgiving. I should mention that I got my first speeding ticket, and since God always has a purpose for everything, I was able to use it as an opening story for Bible study this morning! I should mention that having Bobblehead Jesus in the car makes for even funnier pictures.

I never grow tired of Boggle. Or Tetris.

I loved spending time with mom, dad and Mark, and watching WallE as well as the latest Bond movie (but everyone was right in saying it wasn't that great of a movie) with Kendra and John.

Oh, how I enjoyed eating pie, putting a few puzzle pieces together, listening to John play the piano, getting tackled by the cousins, and drinking true, from the tap (haha), sweet tea! It's crazy to think that I'll be back in Texas in just a couple of weeks, or even that it will be 2009 so soon!

And on a completely different note, I'm having way too much fun reading old journals (especially the ones from Mrs. McClaskey's class), as well as notebooks with notes between high school friends (Milena, Amanda and Ariel H).
