Saturday, Kelly and I woke up at 5:50 AM to gather our things and kidnap Heather :) She had no idea we were coming; much less what we had plans. Success! We spent pretty much the entire day on the beach. I worked on my tan while Kells and Heath teetered back and forth between the sand and the surf (by which I mean the water, of course; there was no literal surfing). Around 5, we hit up Outback for dinner. There, we encountered a lovely little dragonfly and practically inhaled our beverages. I suppose the sun is rather dehydrating. Anywho, we followed up our meal with a trip to the photo booth on the pier, some DQ action, and a brief jam sesh via a live band :) Twas lovely; twas lovely indeed! You'd think that would conclude our adventure, but you would be incorrect. From there, we drove down to the residential area of the beach. We laid out a blanket, looked at the stars, pondered life, walked along the water, played around a bit, and sang "Sweet Caroline." The weather was so lovely, and I couldn't have picked two better people to spend this time with :) We stayed on the beach til about 12, and then I had to drive us home. All I'm going to say is this: I should have gotten a Monster, or even a 5 Hour Energy Shot.... Sorry {Heather and Kelly} if I freaked you out; it certainly wasn't my intention... Well, we made it back to my house at about 2 AM, and we crashed in my living room after some showering and Aloe Vera lathering, haha; my poor babes. Here are a few pics (which were stolen from Kelly.... my camera was dumb and I didn't take any):
I do love these two; so, so much!
Sunday morning, Kelly, Heather, and myself piled in Lovely and headed to church. I really liked the sermon. And once again, it was very applicable to my life. (I always love that.) I think Brian is one of my favorite speakers. His thought just always same pretty profound, or they just strike a chord in me. But anyways, I went straight from service to meeting that I had completely forgotten about, and from there I went downstairs to help set up for the art auction. I ended up running an errand for Scoob; going to his house and getting an easel. Okay, I do not know how I was able to do this, but I fit like a four foot (or taller) easel in my sister's little Saturn. I don't know, I just though that whole process was rather interesting. Once I delivered that to the church, I decided it might be a good idea to get some food. So, I quickly went to BK before coming back to WEAG. I did love the art auction. I bid on three pieces; done by Heather, Elsbeth, and Luke Kozusko. The bidding on Elsbeth's was a bit of a battle between Gabe and I, so I decided to let her win, haha. Alex Morgan out-bid my on Luke's, but that's alright. I did, however, get Heather's piece! That made me really happy :) I know exactly where it's going in my dorm room next year, haha. But yes, from there, I ventured to my father's house for a graduation celebration dinner that I knew nothing about; not until I saw my grandparents' cars in the driveway. My dad made steaks, and for dessert there was Carvel ice cream cake :) My grandma and grandpa gave me cash (which was used to help me pay for my Brazil visa), and my father gave me a new digital camera! Thank the Lord! I've had the same camera for the past 5 years... I was way past due! So that was fun :) From there, I made a brief appearance at Julie's graduation party (after going over to her house before finding out that it was actually at Echo Lake park, ugh). Destry pwned me in badminton, and I conversed a bit with Simon. I had to be somewhat productive, so I decided to go home and fill out my visa application before going over to Elizabeth's to hang out. She had my camera for all of 2 minutes, and I now have these lovely shots:
(^^^ Well, I took the last one, but yeah... haha!)
We played Pit, made a McDonald's trip, and watched "How to Catch a Predator." Of course, as is routine for me, I fell asleep on Elizabeth's sofa until 1:10 AM. She was supposed to kick me out at 1.... whatevskies. I got home and was done showering and whatnot around 2, and I made a conscious decision to skip out on the blog for my own health; seeing as how I was only going to be getting about 7 hours of sleep. Ehhh.....
And I'll blog about today's events later! I just wanted to catch you up :) Much love for my loves!
