Well now, I'm back! Been home for quite a while, but been really busy. The Jersey Shore trip was the most amazing week of my life! We had so much fun - just MKs. We danced every evening! Just about the funnest times ever is when we're all dancing. We love all the Irish dancing, line dancing, but most of all - SWING DANCING! Yesyes, we did indeed have LOTS fun. I just loved looking at the stars. That was one of the highlights of my trip. The stars in the hills of Pennsylvania are simply glorious. I stayed up till 3am of the last days – lying on the grass, just trying to soak up all the stargazing I could before returning home to starless Florida! Anyway, the major thing that made this just so different from other church camps and whatnot is just that everyone there seemed to be so totally focused on God; it was the most amazing thing I had ever experienced. Sixty MK's from all over (I mean ALL over! There were kids who flew in from Brasil, Bolivia, and so on...) just all coming together to grow, hang out, encourage, and worship. It was a marvelous week - I wish everyone could experience it!
Also- The Mexico team has been back- Praise God! Shane is home- Whoohoo! And I'm trying to get my drivers permit (a task that I had been putting off)! Yea!
Alright, that there is a short update of my life. Enjoy!

Goodbye!
It's been a pretty crazy week here, but tomorrow morning I'm leaving bright and early for Jersey Shore, PA! The MK retreat is this week, so I'll be gone for the next nine days. I'm so excited for this trip! Actually, I think I'm more excited about the road trip, than actually being at the retreat. I know it will all be a blast, but there is just something so relaxing about road trips! Anyway, it'll be three days driving, and then the retreat itself is a full six days. So I won't be around for a while, but I'll be having a blast! Oh yah, and we are going to Rickets Glenn! How exciting! I still remember that place from when I was four years old, and now I get to relive those days with hiking and a picnic! See you all later!
P.S. Keep praying for Mexico!

Missing my Megan!
So Thursday was the last day of school! Whoohoo!
Friday... Mexico kids left! Oh! So sad! But I'm so very excited for all that they will be doing and learning! I can't wait to hear EVERYTHING!
Also, Karis's graduation! Yay! Followed by Cranes Roost -- funfun! Got some good videos and pictures! Also some nice star gazing; while lying on the luscious green grass along side the lake of shining wates!
MK Prom was Saturday evening! It was simply marvelous! No dates, so nothing was awkward, just having fun with friends! Can't wait for next year! And I'm pretty sure that Tyler danced with every girl in the room at least twice! I must also add that Icardi was quite the stud as well!
Simple, peaceful, Sunday. But with no youth group tonight, we went to the Icardi's house and prayed for our lil' Mexicanites! We love you!
Now about Megan....
I keep looking down the hallway, to go knock on Megan's door, but then I remember she's not there! I keep turning into her hallway, or putting my ear to the wall to see what she's up to, or stopping at her bedroom door, thinking I'll stop by and say Hi, or tell her one of my many stories; but then I remember...
SHE'S GONE!!!!!!!!!!
Now this being the third day she's been out of my life, I have actually caught myself, thinking about her like she's dead! I know it's really weird, and it’s a little hard to explain, but I'll try my best.
I keep having to remind myself that she is gone; I keep wanting to do things, and then can't, because I don't want to do it without her; all this random stuff, but I have to remind myself that she is gone so much, that it's become like she's not even gonna be coming back! After three looooooong days of grinding it into my mind that she is gone, now I'm beginning to have to remind myself that she will be coming back! Ok, I can see now that no matter how much I attempt to explain this phenomenon, no one will understand. I think that the true point is that I miss Megan. We ALL miss Megan! Hey Megan, I think you better hurry up and come back before I catch myself planning your funeral!
Ok, thats all! =)
