If you're interested about next year.... let me know!:) Its an extremely tiring but TOTALLY worthwhile week!! Extra tiring for me as i was gone both weekends as well..... but a reunion was well worth it... and hanging out with Twila was totally cool!!;) Thanks for being the bestest girl!

Here's my girl's and i during extreme party time on thurs. nite.... we had blast!!!!! mega pillow fight, popping balloons that contain candy WITHOUT using anything sharp, .... were some things that kept us up late that night!! oh i can't forget practicing our chorus songs at the top of our lungs........
Talent show night....... We worked with cabin A-7 to do our skit called "Beth's Lost Bug". they did an awesome job!

Vball tournament!!

A few wks ago Ivan n i went to western Pa and played in a vbal tournament! Our friend Leslie invited us, and it gave us a good excuse to hang out with our friends out there.... We had an awesome time!!! Competitive games.... i mean REALLY competitive games!! Especially once it came to the playoffs... Our team didn't make it into the winning bracket of the playoffs but we had tons of fun anywayz!! We did beat one of the best teams there tho.. so that helped us!:) Well ya'll know how much i love vball so i'll jus stop blabbing about it..... ;)

Leslie is delivering the spikes in this clip of us playing a team who ended up beating us...

Here are Ivan and my cousin David intentionally trying to crush Ivan's old van with a HUGE tree.... but..... they missed!!;-)

Yea.... I'm still in existence..... i think anyways??!;-) Sometimes i feel like i'm just too busy..... I guess i can say that God has mightily blessed me... Its my responsibility to use my time wisely tho......

Life has been wonderfully good!! I'm posting a few random pics of campweek in Va..... and of our new equipment shed building, when cousins were up and friends around. Since tho, I've been at Shippensburg Bible school, a friends wedding in pa, and i just came home from Maine.... where i had an awesome time with my oldest brother and fam, also hung out with some fabulous friends up there!!!:) but...my pics of all these recent activities are still on my camerea which is at my sisters house... so those will have to wait.
