I begin dreamin'..
What a fantastic weekend!
Northbay is baller status.
The cabins are warm and nice. The junior high girls were tons of fun, too =)
The chapel was big, but the layout made it feel intimate. And it had strobe lights and laser lights. YES.
The REACH band was great. Paul Adams was..not what I expected. But in a good way. Dan Betters is adorable. And the piano player was on the IV retreat last weekend, so we got to talk about doing back-to-back retreats (bonus: he's effing cute!)
Mark Long is a great speaker and story teller. He gave the talk at my first Reality Factor. NUTS!
Sunday was absolutely perfect.
Phil was cool-but I wish I had been serenaded by Matt, Phil and Adam rather than by 200 strangers. Whatevs.
Came home to an awesomely decorated room by Carli. She photoshopped me into pictures with James McAvoy and Daniel Craig. Big win! :D
Then we went to my house-mom took me to the liquor store to get some wine and Bailey's =)
The wine was disgusting, but the coffee flavored Bailey's made up for it ;)
My super fun family all came over for birthday dinner (we had Bobby's from Capriotti's!) and Andrew brought Brent!!!! It was awesome to see him.
After a festive evening, I came back to campus for party dos in Karen and Caitlyn's room. I had a glass of Long Island iced tea, cranberry juice with vodka, and soda with some peach flavored something (vodka?). I finally got a buzz when I was back in the room with Carli.
Thanks, mom and dad, for the wonderful genes! I mean, seriously-that's a decent amount of alcyhawl to drink, only having one glass of champagne in the last 21 years, and not be very affected by.
Long day today, semi-long week coming up.
But salsa dancing on Wednesday-woo! Birthday circle should be horrifying. :p
And next Wednesday Diana's taking me to a karioke dance bar!!!
This Thursday=Geronimo!
Yes, yes, y-e-s.
Hopefully I'll see Sarasponda soon! And catching up with Kathy on Wednesday. Great times coming up =)
Holy balls, I can't believe I'm 21.
I went to get my license today-Carli and I got lost 3 times, we cut it SO CLOSE to closing time. Like, we passed the DMV and Carli pulled over to let me out of the car so I could run in and get there in time :p SO GREAT.
...when did we get so old? Yikes.
