An Update! (Blizzard)

Hey folks! I thought I would surprise you all by posting!!! Yes, it's been a long while :) But God has been showing me amazing things since I've last came on here! I just got back a three day winter retreat with my youth group! It's called "Blizzard" and we went to a camp about 4 hours away! It was great! There was horse back riding (which of course I did, allergic or not!) but no, I didn't get to ride the black and white one :(((( Someone else took her before I could get over there! But I rode the one in the front of the pic. She was cute so I took her :) there was snow tubing, broom ball, ice skating, torch walk, leap of faith (jumping out of a window REALLY high {of course all roped up though so no worries!} almost like bungee jumping) there was....? games, and....an awesome speaker! Have you ever heard of Mark Cahill? GREAT speaker!

I learned so much from his talks! He spoke on witnessing to people! And really challenged us to do so! Amazing speaker! He has written books and all and is really cool! Now I want to go share my faith with people and share the gospel with them! Like seriously! :D

I got lots of pictures! It was an awesome weekend! I enjoyed it! The activities were great, the food...was okay...the speaker was great! AND we had a theme party Saturday night dinner. The theme was dress up like a holiday character! I went as the tooth fairy! 'Cause that is like a holiday! When your kid loses a tooth (or you lose a tooth) it is like a holiday!
So I wore my long sparkly blue ball gown dress, with my hair up with a little crown, blue eyeshadow a wand (borrowed from a friend) a white cape and borrowed black wings! It was great! At the camp when we came into dinner EVERYONE looked at us with an eyebrow up! It was embarrassing! Like REALLY embarrassing! I had people ask what I was and everything. If you know me, I not a on-the-stage kind of a person :) Like I'm the shy kinda kid who doesn't like attention. So it was embarrassing! Anywho! I didn't win :( but I'm okay with that!

Anywho! It was great weekend! Met new people and walked with them on the torch walk. A bit out of my comfort zone :P But it was good :) All good!

Anyway, what else have I been up to...? Hm...? Nothing much else! Hope you all enjoyed my post! :P It's been awhile since I've posted! And it's going to be awhile till I post again! But just want to tell you thanks for your comments! They mean a lot! :D
Comment and tell me what you've all been up to! God bless!
