Count me in.

I can't even begin to express how incredible this past week has been.
I guess I've been putting it off because so much has happened it's a bit overwhelming.

Last Sunday I went to church and met up with 26 other high school kids from my youth group.
After church, we were sent on our way in vans headed towards the Eastern Shore, Virginia, in a small town called Onancock. I can't even begin to go into detail to share with you all. Fortunately, I know I'll never forget it.

This morning I went to church and afterwards went out to lunch with 4 boys from church and Edrea. We all went to Pat's Pizza and must have been there for over 2 hours. We all just sat and talked about books, movies, music. I had such a nice time. When we finally left, I dropped Edrea off at her house and she showed me her room, which is really really neat by the way. She has the most precious cat, his name is Yahtzee. We began thinking of some other cool names for her future cats and Monopoly, Parcheesee, and Clue were all mentioned.

Afterwards, I left and went to Jake's work around 2, because he couldn't get off today. I stayed all the way until it was time for him to close and then I had to go home. I love that boy so much. Nothing too special happened today but it was just so nice spending time with him talking and enjoying eachothers company. Our 2 years is Saturday. :)

God has truly placed some things and people on my heart this past week. I'm so greatful for this experience and all the incredible people I have met and come close with. I can honestly say I've never felt as much love in my whole life, as I have this past week. I feel so blessed. I don't want to go back to the way things were. I'm tired of sitting out and being quiet and awkward. I'm ready to be exciting, friendly, and fun to be around again. I'm letting go of everything I've been desperately trying to hold on to.

I'm stepping out of my shell.

Count me in.

Here are some pictures that can't fully sum up my amazing weeek, but hopefully will help,

Our youth group, True Impact.

Our first time showering the water ran out on us. I had some shampoo in the back of my hair, which wasn't even completely wet, and Jocelyn was dripping with suds.

Me, my new friend Whitney, Jocelyn

We were inseperable.

Whitney, Jocelyn and I.

They split everyone up from different churches into groups, ours was called The Shopping Carts, our group stopped at a really cool new ice cream parlor and our van broke down. How much fun can you have at an ice cream parlor with your 2 best friends there and a camera?
A LOT.

Stay tuned for more pictures and a video of our adventure while being stranded.

Me, Mr. Willetts, Daniel

Boyfraaaaaan.

On the way home, our youth group stopped at the beach for a few hours :)

Text message while Jake was following me when we were driving home.

Jake: Are you on the phone or singing?

Me: Singing to uffie!

Ahahahhahahahhaha.

Uh, I guess you had to be there.

This is one of my sloppiest entries yet, but the happiest.
