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?

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!

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.

♥ christine

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!

ohmy!!

Today was awesome.

Went SHOPPING for fabric with Erin, Katie and Kristen. And we were crazy. We walked down to Peir 1 to try on some masks. So that was fun too.

THEN. We took lots of fun pictures on the computer. Using photobooth =)

AND!! I SAW BRITTANY AT THE ROBIN MARK CONCERT!!!

which was, by the way...
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.

We're home... had a great trip. Lots of fun. Made lots of memories. BUDDIES!!!!! =)

There is something totally fantastic about being in a pool, at ten o'clock at night, watching a bonfire.

I also got to see some of my favorite people, and made some yummy food. and laughed. a lot. =)

And I didn't know I was going till we left for home that morning.

100th post!!!

Yup! this is number 100.

Swing last night was... pretty much perfect.

Some highlights from last night were:

~talking... and more talking. I love my friends. =)

~making signs to hang on the doors.

~ hanging out with some of my favorite people.

~watching the Chair Skit. (performed in skirts and heels. they did a great job, of course!)

~God. and God-things. and friends who love to talk about God-things. =)

This morning, bright and early(for some of us), I went to our mission trip's flapjack breakfast fundraiser. TONS of fun! I'm really looking forward to spending a week with all these people, they're lots of fun!

... and I'm still effervescent. Swing generally makes me effervescent, but it carried over till today this time.

Peace and Love,
Christine
