Well for starters we had a great time! And I think I got the best ab workout I've had in FOREVER!
It is so funny because I don't feel that old even though I complain about feeling old all the time but there is something about being around these crazy bunch of people that reminds me about how to be carefree again and how much fun life is supposed to be! I think that sometimes we get so caught up in what we are supposed to do that we forget that sometimes you just have to ask people, "What are the odds you'll wear a diaper on your head?" or do the Wobble like it's your job, or do the best interpretive dance to Wrecking Ball in the world...ever...seriously Lauren you are my hero after that display of awesomeness!
I think as I grow older (yes I just got done saying how awesome it was to feel young again) I feel like I feel like I'm being pushed in a thousand directions and sometimes I forget what it's like to have a sleep over and talk to my friends until midnight because lets be honest...if I stayed up until midnight every night talking to my friends I would be less than pleasant in the mornings at work. I feel like especially with people we call our friends at work it is so easy to forget them after 3 o'clock everyday and I am so glad that this weekend allowed me to grow my actual friendship with Sarah, Lori and Kathy. It was almost like we were in high school again all in our bunk-beds talking about our lives, our problems and our victories.
We talked about our sense of community this weekend as a Young Life Leadership team and I can honestly say this was something that helped us and I am so thankful that my schedule allowed me to be there. Being an adult can suck sometimes and it is nice to have friends like them and even friends like the high school leaders that are as crazy as we are. I was definitely something my soul needed this weekend!
What I think was even more crazy what all of this craziness happened in about a 24 hour time span. Talk about a whirl-wind experience! The awesome thing about it for someone like me who always have a to-do list that is normally bigger than me (which is saying something seeing as I am 6 feet tall) is that I still had plenty of time to do things that I needed to get done!
First and this was important...
That's right friends...the wonderful K-Craig and Sarah taught me how to make a bracelet! I don't even care if it's not fancy or perfect because I finally made one!
Last post I introduced you to the head of my creative team Luke...well another amazing member of my team is my AMAZING roommate Michelle! Why is she amazing you ask...(again by continuing to read you are asking by default)
- First and foremost she agreed to live in a house with me
- and she is as crazy as I am
This is the amazing dinner I came home to yesterday!
Fun fact of the day...White Cheddar Cheez-Its in Chili is AMAZING!
Her official title other than my roommate is the head of my proof-reading department...I really should have her read this before I post but I won't and most likely she will be sitting on the couch with me tonight telling me what I messed up so I don't look like a complete fool and this is why she is my favorite because we will both be laughing trying to figure out what I was trying to say!
Also she is my favorite because after decorating our house last night (see my Instagram: amkocher for video) we did this to our "third roommate" GiGi!
Have a great day!
With Love, Always!
