Do Hard Things... !

Okay. Hi. This is Kathryne, hijacking Christine's blog... but she's here too, so not really :P We are going to map out our day.

5:30 AM- "My Savior" by Aaron Shust playing way too loud in our sleepy ears
6:15 AM- Leave for DO HARD THINGS!!!!!!!!11!!!!1!!
7:00 AM- Katie reluctantly begins Government homework because the sun is now out.
8:00 AM- DO HARD THINGS AHHHHAETOIUHVEOSIYHBS
8:20 AM- Motivational Red Wall Paint makes the shoutout board!
9:00 AM- Pure awesome.
5:00 PM- Fangirl time :) Brett Harris signed the MRWP. Then Joel Harris signed it, and he got to sign it next to Robin Mark so he took a picture :) THENTHENTHEN Shannon Harris, Josh's wife, who happens to sing for Sovereign Grace music including The Precious Blood, (and Christine really has no idea what all this is, so, yes, it is Katie hijacking) signed it too.
6:00 PM- Wendy's for dinner! sitting outside, and then this random old man came up to us and talked to us about Mennonite clothing and asked us if we were Mennonites and rambled some odd thing about modern women's clothing... o.0
7:15 PM- Leave for home. Katie attempts to do more Government. Snakes in the car. hehe.
9:05 PM- We both do homework. And talk. And Christine thinks she distracts Katie. But really Katie is just as distracting. Katie gets hungry.
10:00 PM- Sign on to Blogger.

OH. Bad thing with silver lining. No mime performance tomorrow. Major miscommunication. And so that's a bummer. BUT. We get to sleep in. Relatively. Like, 7:30 instead of 5:30. But it's still nice. And we still get to see all of our favorite people (read: mimes) at church tomorrow.

Good morning starshine, the earth says hello!
 <3 Christine & Kathryne/Katie

What could be more awesome??

Katie is spending the weekend at my house! Well, more like, she is sleeping at my house. She's coming tonight after mime. We are leaving at 5:30 to go to the DHT conference in DC. We will be getting home around 8ish, then leaving the next morning at 5:30 again.
So yeah. Pretty epic, ehh?

eating mac and cheese while sitting on the mizzen boom...

muusicc!!!

EEEEP!!!!

We played in church this morning for the school mass = fun.

THEN.

This evening we played at the youth kick-off/ rally for St. Stephens = AMAZINGLY AWESOME.
It was such a great night. We had a sound guy who kinda set all the technical stuff up for us, and we were all really, really loud and it was so much fun!

I wanna do this stuff forever. It is so amazing to be able to lead people in worship of Jesus. It's an incredible blessing that I'm able to be in a band like this. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!


Cheers!

long day...

yeah. it really was.
it was:
EDGE
church
running errands in Bel Air
cooking at the Olenicks (among other things, such as jumping in the quite cold pool)
church
running more errands in HdG
and then, roughly twelve hours after I leave, we get home. =)

but it was oh so much fun. i got to see all of my favorite people. so that was pretty awesome.

cheers!

random thought....

it's a bummer that you can't tell who has 'liked' one of your posts... =\ it would be fun to know...

**end random thought**

life is awesome

Wednesday thru Friday morning we were out on our boat. It was an adventure. nuff said.

Friday was... so much fun. I've never laughed so much in one day. =P
two things especially...

we had our first youth group meeting for this year. it was crazy fun. Paulina was there! and Nate forgot all his notes at home. so we really got nothing done. between reminiscing about our confirmation, and making fun of Nate, Paulina and I were busting up the whole night.

and...

SWING!!! ohmy. between Doug and Rachel and Katie and Blake and Sarah and Drew I don't think I went 5 minutes without laughing. I love these guys. =)

So, yeah. To sum everything up, my life is pretty much awesome.

On the road...

My first trip was to the library. (gotta start small for my parents sake) At 8:45. With Erin and Michael. Twas very fun. =)


EEEP!

umm.. yeah.

I LOVE my pajamas. No, seriously. I do. I have this t-shirt with a butterfly on it and my screaming monkey pajama pants. and it's awesome.

**end random thought**

anyhoo....
Saturday we went up to PA. Reminisced about the cruise. and APPLE PIE!!! I <3 my grandma's apple pie. =D Sunday... ~~Mission Trip Services! We had a blast. It was great.
FUDRUCKERS!!!
and
"If you're following me, you're lost too." (bumper sticker we put on Mr. Jerry's car)
and
WE ARE GOING TO DIE!

Sunday was also the Black and White party. Posted on buzz about this. So go read it there. I'm to lazy to copy it. =P

Cheerio!

lots of fun today...

and yesterday. Andee came over... and we walked the Lafayette trail... and talked. and talked.

today, Daniela came over. We are learning Spanish. We had a really fun time; laughed so much.

we had music practice for the 21st today... and Pat was there! and he played electric guitar.
yay! It's always lots of fun to have everything turned wayyyy up and just jam. and not have to worry about being too loud for anyone. =)

going up to PA tomorrow...
then...

MISSION SERVICES!!!
and
BLACK AND WHITE PARTY!!!

so stoked.

39 kt winds?

Oh yes. Fortunately though, that was only a gust. The wind stayed constant at about 25-30 kts the whole time we were out. It was a little more wind than we've ever had before. Make that a lot more wind. But, it was a good experience. And we are learning to trust our boat, which is also good.

and hehe.... life is awesome. and fun. and full of spontaneity and surprises.


PEACE!
and
LOVE!
and
JESUS!

One word:
AMAZING.
and
UPLIFTING. (I guess that's two.)

God was there with us tonight, and it was spectacular.
I'm so, so blessed by:
My God who is small enough to hear my every cry, and catch my every tear.
My friends and family who are bold enough to lift their hands and voices and hearts in praise and adoration of the God of the universe.
and the love I'm given. From God, from my family, and from my friends.

I love you guys to death.
