So I stayed home on Friday because I predicted how epicly insane this weekend would be, and I couldn't handle 14 days of not staying in my house all day at least ONCE during such an extended period of time. I slept a lot. That was nice.

Here's where it gets good. Me and Krystal spent the weekend at Chrystal and Eric's house. Kim and Jason (two of the coolest grown ups evar) came over on Friday and we went fishing. I didn't catch anything, but that was some major deja vu. Eric put a fish on my arm. ): This is after he fed me the most repulsive pizza I've ever had in my entire life. It tasted like fresh cardboard. (I only make note of this, because all the country people that live over there swear its the best thing since sliced bread, pahahah.)

Eric and Chrystal totally live 20 minutes away from the COG camp grounds, right? He still made me and Krystal get up with him and drive an hour to Irving so that we could be at the church to pick up the rest of the band at 7:15. I woke up at freaking 5:40. That was RIDICULOUS. Actually, it was more fun than ridiculous-- because I had to be out of it the whole day.

We went to this super delicious sandwich shop in Weatherford, and I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without it. Eric treated us to Dairy Queen, and then we went to the park. The band ended up getting runner up in contemporary band, I got first in creative writing for essay, and Karla got a bunch of stuff for her artsy fantasticness. I don't think we'll make it out to the national competition, but it's okay, because we don't have to be there, and we can still win! One of the newer girls in our band entered as a solo female artist. She didn't win, and she was super upset (which really hurt my heart) but I have a surprise fer her on Wednesday!

This weekend provided some major bonding time between us bandmates. I love everyone so much more than I already did in the past. Me and Chrystal had some much needed mother-daughter conversation. I wanna be just like her when I grow up. <3 Me and Stud Muffin had a good heart to heart at the park. Me and Krystal had the most epic heart to heart before bed last night. I was reminded of how much the younger ones really love and need me. I saw a whole new side of Eric, and it made me sooo much more glad that he's my youth pastor. There were so many good feelings flying around everywhere, it's just crazy. I wish Kendra and Ander could have been there. Sadface.

Bible study this morning was extra good. Chrystal reminded us that there is indeed still a hell, and that people are going to end up there if we as Christians don't get on our jobs. She talked about how it's inappropriate to be angry with God (in any circumstance), because that's like suggesting you know better than He does. I was already aware of that, though. Attention followers of God: your salvation does need to be maintained and renewed from time to time.

Service was pretty awesome too. Pastor recognized us for our Teen Talent accomplishments; he's so sweet. Gotta be honest, though. The end of his message kicked my face off. I'll tell y'all about that when I come to more conclusions about my life and the decisions I've made. Mhmm, it was about interpersonal relationships and how sometimes we just throw them away. Nuff said.

Band practice will be better next week, in the name of Jesus.

So now I'm home. This is a big deal, guys. I'm sooo tired. God has been good. I think we can all agree. Maybe tomorrow it will snow (:
