HAPPY MAY DAY!

{okay...so...I have a few questions for you all.  If you could please just take 5 seconds and leave me a comment with your answers in it...I would be SO grateful to you!  My math teacher made me redo two of my questions for our survey project so I need answers fast!  Please answer them...it doesn't matter if you know me well or not...and it will only take a minute!

1. How many sisters do you have?

2. How many scarves do you own?}   <-- No need to answer the stuff in

brackets anymore...thanks anyways though!

If you answered them...THANK YOU SO MUCH!  I owe you one.

This weekend has been busy...the 50th went well, soccer games were fun and doing concessions was fun, and spending the night at Hannah's with Alyssa and Abs was great!  I'm so glad we had today off...so nice...thank you Lord for beautiful weather!

Sunny days

Bona diminatza~
I just said good morning even though it's afternoon...oh well - it's still beautiful sounding.

I shared in church today about Romania and what I learned.  It went well, even though at times I felt I couldn't draw in a breath.
Just had a Romania reunion...it was really fun just to talk to them all again and to laugh at our inside jokes and just remember what it was like to be there.  It made me miss the people there and the simpleness of life there even more.  I wish I could go back and just feel the peacefulness again.  But, going there without my team would be strange.  I'm so thankful God "led" me to that trip.

Anyway...the sun is SO GORGEOUS!  I missed it so much.  And I missed walking barefoot.  
Tomorrow I get to go to the ZOO!  WOO HOO!  Me and Abs want to see the penguins...tehehe.
Another thing that made me happy today was that Beth wore her hott Italian sun glasses...and so did I.  And it was funny.
One thing I learned this week is I LOVE KT TUNSTALL!  I sang one of her songs at the coffee house Friday.  And I love her song called Heal Over.  I'm going to try to put it on my site.

Homework is calling...more like grabbing me by the leg and trying to strangle me.

1 John 3:18 - "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."

The message version - "My dear children, let's not just talk about love; let's practice real love."

I'm back!  And I've concluded...I LOVE ROMANIA!

Well...not Romania exactly...though it's beautiful and has an incredible history...but more the people.  The kids are so amazing!  They are so welcoming and loving and the sweetest people in the world.  The town we stayed in was poor.  The people don't have very much...but they shared everything with us.  One little boy that was in the 5-day Bible club and the only believer in his whole family gave away his toys to the leaders.  He gave me a stuffed dog that he slept with every night...he didn't have much...but he gave all he had.  I felt so unworthy and humbled.

And...I LOVED OUR TEAM!  At first we all thought we were the most random group ever to be put together...but we bonded so well.  We're all so different and contributed differently to the ministry...but we would have never made it had one person been missing.  I got to know some people I had never dreamed I would.  Playing water poker and basketball (or should I say football/rugby) was so much fun!  And our leaders were awesome too...everything we did...they made it fun...and funny!

And I will never see the sky the same way
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday
And I will never cease to fly if held down
And I will always reach to high cuz I've seen, cuz I've seen...and I'd put something else in place of twilight...I'm really not sure what...what did I see there that amazed me?  I don't want to ever let go of the things I saw and experienced and learned.

God was so in it!  I learned things about love and trust and complaining and purpose...things that still seemed muddled in my head...yet I know exactly what I need to do to work on those things.  I could tell you SO MUCH MORE about the trip...and I'm sure Beth has already...hehe...so if you want to hear it...just ask.  I feel like laughing and crying because it's over.  I didn't want it to end.  I feel so blessed.  THE END.

Currently singing: 
1. Wonderboy
2. Tribute
3. I Need a Hero
4. Can't Touch This
5. Dragostea Din Tei (the Numa Numa song...and did you know it's all Romanian?)
6. Basically anything we played over and over during the week...

*sigh*

Wow...play is over...and it was such a blast!  In the wise words of Mrs. Savage, "I've never had a better time in my life!"  The cast was perfect and it felt like we all finally clicked this weekend.  It was SO much fun to have Mrs. Spencer here too!  I love her dearly!  The party afterwards was really cool too, we relaxed and ate yummy food and laughed a ton!  We talked about all the funny mistakes we made and just made up crazy stories of what should have happened.  And Joel shaved his whole head!  Oh my goodness...me and Steph walked into the the green room and there he was looking sort of scary!  He just about gave me and Steph a heart attack!  I went to bed at 3:00 that night and woke up at 12:30 feeling very groggy and disconnected and I had a terribly sore throat.  Blech...and that's what I felt like this morning...but I still went to school like the smart girl I am and then Jack convinced me to go home with my mom.  And so here I am, just took a nap and I'm feeling a bit better. 
It's sort of hard to move on though.  In the words of Steph, "My dream was fufilled!" and now it's gone.  And I have so much time on my hands!  But it's just post-drama blues as my mom and Mrs. Spencer call it.  It's like you pour your whole self into it, and then it's gone in two days.
And right now I'm also missing my dear seniors who aren't seniors anymore!  To Joyce and Jo, and David, I miss you most awfully!  Don't grow up without me!  =(
One thing that God seems to have given me to cheer me up is the weather!  It's almost like summer!  Oh the glorious sun...=)

Ooooooooooooooh the okie kokie...Ooooooooooooooh the okie kokie...Oooooooooooooo the okie kokie...knees bent arms stretched RA RA RA!  =P
