7 quick takes ~ volume 5

1. It's been an exhausting last couple of days. There have been times when I've literally stopped and asked myself "How am I still functioning right now?" I am exhausted. After waking up, all I want to do is crawl back into bed and sleep. I can't think. I'm just... tired.
2. I went to the Johnny Reid concert on Tuesday. It was actually really good. I had an awful headache most of the night, but I was still able to actually enjoy the concert.
3. We're moving tomorrow. My room is mostly done (just little stuff left.) It's... wierd. I'm ready to be done moving. But it seems like even this move comes with an experation date because in 2 years or so I'll be off to college. (Seriously? only 2 more years???) I hate that first night in the new hours too, it makes me cry. ALSO, my room won't be ready until a week or so after we move in, so it looks like I'll be camping out on the floor.
4. I went to youth tonight. I hadn't been there in SO long. I didn't want to go, but it was either go to youth or help move. It was actually really good. I'm glad I went.
5. I've been having a really bad week. It goes in spurts, with a couple of weeks being super good, and I'm feeling great, and then over night everything crashes down around me and I feel bad. This was one of those bad weeks. But, despite all those bad things, there's good things too, and that was enough to keep me going.
6. Link sharing! I like sharing links. It seems like other people can say what I've been trying to say but just can't. I read this one, and it perfectly described my week.
7. I'm writing another novel. I can't tell you what it's about, other then it's the story of a girl, and her experiences with love gone wrong and love that is going right. so it's pretty much a love story. I don't know if anything is going to happen with it (Probably not, since basically it's the words floating around in my head written down on paper) but I had to write. I was going into withdrawl. I HAD to write something. So I wrote down those thoughts in my head... and that's this story.

DTP

I just got back from a weekend at DTP! It was really good, like it usually is. The speaker this year was a guy named Brett Ullman. He was really good, really real, but funny. The Illusionist, Jared Hall, was really good. He was funny, and I laughed, a lot. The worship leader this time was Amanda Falk. She was really amazing, and it was amazing to see her 'live.' On Friday Night we had session #1 and then the illusionist and then Pizza! I didn't stay for the late night stuff, considering it went until 1:00 in the morning! On Saturday Morning, we had another session, youth group huddle ups, lunch and then I went to a worship session with Amanda Falk. After that we had the amazing race, and we did some pretty wierd stuff. Like cramming 9 people into the cab of a small truck, or sitting in a wheel barrow for a relay race, or putting a pedomiter on your head and banging it until it got to 1000, or human bowling. Our teamwas actually doing really good, but we ran out of time so we didn't get to finish. I went to the Reba concert after that, Amazing, so I missed the evening session and the junk yard poets concert. THEN this morning, we had another session and then brunch. It was all so good, and I really enjoyed it and learned.
