"Oh boy!"
So, wow. God is so good to me and my friends and my family and yeah. I am so incredibly blessed.
I'm going to do this a little differently, so if you want to read my story with lots of pictures, click
There once were 5 kids who were best of friends.
they decided to take a road trip...
And put their lives in this girls hands.
So they loaded up the van and got ready to go...
and they made lots of great memories while on the road.
They sang song after song
and even played a little cards....
And had no idea they were driving waaaay too far!
But, alas they did get there...it was just a little later and darker (outside) than they had hoped, but it all was ok because they had lots of candy and coke!
Once they all were together and departed to different homes, Angela, Rayna and Alli got to spend time alone.
(rayna's brithday gift from Ang and me)
They watched the sky from a trampoline and struck some crazy poses.
But no one could match Ang's pose, everyone knows this!
The next day came and they had an outstanding time. They went to beach, played a little music, and games of all different kinds.
For dinner they went to the The Dancing Avocado, and ate and ate and ate. They played games like Enchore and zip bong, which kinda hurts your face.
They balanced ketchup on their heads...
as if they were pros.
And got to hang out with some of the best friends anyone could know.
Poor brandon was in pain that night due to his bright red legs. I'm not even kidding when I say they were redder than his head!
The next day they sat around, dancing laughing and talking.
They wrote in the great "quote book"
Which contained some things you might find quite shocking.
They ran and played in the pouring rain even though it was windy and cold.
That didn't stop these crazy kids because these memories they will forever hold.
Then they got all dry and warm and ready for the rest of the day. More pictures were taken,
and with people they hold so close to their heart, not even words could say.
That very night, oh what a night! The happenings were great indeed.
Little did Angela, Khrysten, and Sam know that they had a baby to take care of a feed. ("Do you think he's ready for cake yet?")
Yes, he was a dragon and a very cute one, most would say. But you had to have a backround check before they'd send Richard your way.
They sat around talking and laughing, astonished at the three above, but it wasn't surprising because it those things about them for which they are so loved.
They walked to the beach and pretended to be sleeping.
And wished Nicole happy birthday through lots of birthday singing.
And then the last day came...oh what a bittersweet day it had to be.
There were more pictures taken, as you can see.
A group so full of love and joy and thankful to the Lord.
For each of the crazy and amazing friends he has given, and for so much more.
The girls who so lovingly care for one another...
And the guys who are so incredibly great.
For the friendships that will last for so very long...
Praying they will never fade.
Before it was all over, the great "Trio" played once more.
They were so very happy and excited, and thought their song should be sold in stores.
The goodbyes had to be started, it was all almost done.
But it could not end without a certain picture...One of a group of friends who had been together, just them, once before, a group also called the "Hey Juders" were together once more.
And so they went back into the van and waved those friends goodbye...and headed back home with the group they started with, and memories they'll hold the rest of their lives.
For the record they stopped in barberville, a place which they hold dear.
They took a few last crazy pictures...
And so ended the best Spring break of the year!
And that, my friends, is what happened, during that wonderful week. 5 great friends who set off on a roadtrip came home with something very neat. A growing love for all their friends, both the old and the new.
BUt even more importantly they were so gratful to the One who carried them through. The one who kept them safe on the road and all the rest of the week too.
The One who is so gracious to give them the friends that they have...friends who love God and His word...what more could you even ask?
God was so good to these very special friends, words cannot even describe. To Him be all the glory, and let that never be put aside.
