Rewind back to the weekend.

This morning, waking up for class was one of the most difficult things I have had to do in quite a while. Maybe it was because we stayed up everyday this weekend until about 7 am, maybe not. Who knows? (completely sarcastic)  However, it was completely worth it.

I was worried on Friday because I was about to spend a weekend with about 7 people that I didn't know very well, inserting myself into their close circle of friends. It all started out with one good car ride. We were expecting to be driving for about 2 1/2 hours. It only took about 2 1/2 minutes until I knew that I loved every one of them.  

I didn't stop laughing one time this weekend. For example, we drove through Jack in the Box thinking that we would be driving through quickly so we could finally be on our way to Cypress. WRONG. It took about 15 minutes for us to order. They wouldn't accept Jessica's coupons, Tim was about to slap the ignorant lady, Brooklyn just wanted one simple cheeseburger yet couldn't find one, and the lady working there was ordering things for us and telling us that that was what we wanted.  It was so bad that the lady in the vehicle behind us got out and came to ask if we were having any problems. (with a complete attitude of course. It wasn't our fault!)  That total of 25 minutes in the drive thru had me just about peeing in my pants. 

The next 2 1/2 hours were spent with Brooklyn and I finding out how crazy alike we are! Every time either one of us began to speak and tell a story, it was quickly responded with a "Holy crap, no way! Me too" by the other. Then we would just laugh for about 5 minutes every time we said anything, mainly because it was exactly what the other was thinking. 

I officially have a new nickname given to me by Jared Cash, declaring it as my wrestling name, "Salty Cracker". I didn't know how I originally felt about it, but now I for sure I love it. Especially because I can hold up a saltine to my shirt and say that it is my name tag.  Jonathan and Jared are SET on his sister and I wrestling one another. I refused every single time, but it's fun to pretend like it will happen. =))

My favorite part of the weekend was one fantastic talk with one fantastic person. That's all I'm gonna say about that. =))

Every single day spent in Cypress was sooooo happy. I wish I could have had hidden a tiny camera on my shirt so that I could have recorded everything that happened. Everyone deserves to have been laughing as hard as we all did. We probably ended up gaining about a year in age from all of our endorphins. These are my new favorite people. =)) 

"Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I have loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples-when they see the love you have for each other."  -John 13:34-35
