If I was as talented as Jon Bolt, I would try to copy his awesome rendition of what happened this past weekend in Indianapolis. Rather, I will simply say how cool it is in fewer and less exciting words. On second thought, since I really would just rather be Jon Bolt, I will give it a try, but it will still be shorter.
a whorlwind weekend
the boys from NOLA had the layover in Houston, because we both have a penis and that makes us more likely to not care for some reason
Jon's parents took Jon and I out to eat because they live in Houston, they talked for the entire time about their trip to Boston and New York.
I talked about my trip to New York my freshmen year with Rachel and Kim.
I was late to the conference because of the layover, but it was fine because apparently the first sessions blew.
I was there for less than five minutes and I saw Kari Mayo, Rachel Abraham, AMS, two teachers from Guardian Lutheran, and Bruce Braun.
I was there for less than a half hour and I saw the Valley teachers - Zill and Gunther included, my friend from camp's roommate that I met once, greta, Mr. Knotts, Miss Berhandt, Dr. Grotjan, and more
It was so good to see friends again - God has blessed me with so many wonderful people in my life.
The worship was okay - touchy/feely theology. CTCR Document on women in the church wasn't followed. That's fine, I just think it's funny - Kischnick was there. He spoke, I liked it.
I saw even more people
Didn't eat the dinner
Went to the bar with Jon, AMS, Rachel and Andy G. Good times. It made me miss college
a lot
a whole heap
woke up early because I couldn't sleep, I was anxious about the evening activies - me getting that award I don't deserve but I got because I look really good on paper
breakfast blew - cheesy music
general session was awesome - merva dawn or someone - awesome lady. research her. now.
breakout sessions were okay - I helped the gym teacher from Valley do her presentation on healthy teaching
My parents came and we talked for awhile, I got dressed and we went to dinner
I walked across the stage with Jon Bolt's dad
I was so happy, but I still didn't think that I should have been up there. Chris Stienmann should have or someone else. God is too good to me.
Went to the fancy party in the presidental suite with Dr. Laabs. He knows my name now. The director of the LEA knows me by name. AWESOME
Went to the CUAA party - saw Thomas and Andrea, Chris Hansell, Leta Brown - no they're not married, people came up to me and congradulated me even though I had no idea who they were
There was red peppers at the party, bad champagne
Back to B-dubs for some real food - I didn't eat anything at the meal because I was too nervous
Got drunk for the second night in a row. That was the most I've drank in a long time.
Random man with Rachel and Andy made the night really funny because he was old
Jon's sisters are hilarious - I guess it runs in the family. I pretended to be a Bolt because my parents left and I kept running into Mr. and Mrs. Bolt.
Sunday, went to a session on manipulating people's change personality. My principals wife wants me to do a session for her staff at the grade school on the matter because it is all psychology. I told her that I would
Talked to a couple principals about me teaching there next year and in the years to come. Hong Kong, Chicago, Valley. Mrs. Eschmann isn't coming back. It's a possibity.
Skipped the final worship because I was sick of touchy-feely theology. I heard that I was on the screen again.
Lunch at Buca di beppos. Good food - had real turimisu.
wondered around the mall with AMS. We didn't talk about much, we just enjoyed each other's presence.
They lost my luggage at the consierge. I found it in the back.
Long flight
home
sleep
I miss people - my friends - being whatever we want to be around each other because we are just accepted for who we are. Heaven WILL be an LEA Conference - except all the songs will be in four part harmony!
