I'm home. . .

Safe and sound and slightly sunburnt.
and I'm not totally thrilled to be back. I could've stayed another week.

My favorite part of the trip, probably... (along with seeing the Edwards- Nicole is 13, and Alexis is 12; the dinghy rides- very fast and wild; and The Bean- very yummy) were the Sunfish.

Sunfish, in case you don't know, are small sailboats for one or two people. Alexis and I took one out, and Michael took out another.

(this is not the sunfish we took out. it's just a random pic of one I found online.)
While sailing in the Sunfish was lots of fun... there was an activity far more exciting and fun... capsizing!

Michael capsized once, and Alexis had to jump in to help him right it.
Then, Alexis and I capsized three times, and I was dumped overboard once with her, and then once when I got in the Sunfish by myself (don't ask. :P).

All in all, we had a great time. And there are lots of more fun stories, but I don't feel like typing it all out. So maybe you might get to hear some in person. =)

BAH!! I forgot to post yesterday. But, I was busy. Studying Chem. blargh.

Anyhoo. We went to the Medieval Festival yesterday at Stepping Stone museum. It was great. Andee and I couldn't get henna, but we still had fun. Blake showed up, some time later, and Daniel showed up after that. So we had a great time. And the car ride home was... umm... interesting too. :P

AAAHHHH!!!! EEEEEP!!

We leave WEDNESDAY!!!! To go SAILING!!!!!! In NORTH CAROLINA!!!!! For a WEEK!!!!!!!!


(hehe)

Cheers!

=)

got free ice cream yesterday.

drove up to PA. And home (most of the way).

Ya know how, sometimes you see deer on the road, running across?
Well, I didn't see deer. I encountered horses. Two of them. Running free along the road.
SCARY!

Swim Team Banquet

The funniest things were -

Reminiscing.... we've had some fun times over the past six years
Prank calls =P
Truth or Dare
Food fight! Well, more like an icing fight between Abby and Nicole
Me convincing them to smear icing on TK.
TK's reaction and his icing-ed cheeks.

and pretty much laughing till you cry type stuff =)

But there was also sad stuff. I hate saying goodbyes. I cried. =(

So, that's about it....

Cheers!

HAHA!!!

I got the most HILARIOUS thing in the mail today.
It begins, " Dear Christine, You have been referred to me as a possible
candidate who may enjoy modeling, acting, or learning stage techniques..."
I make it that far before I burst out laughing... then I look at who
it's from, and totally lose it.
The National American Miss Maryland State Pageant.
that is the funniest thing that has happened all week. I'm still
laughing about it.
Cheers!

hi y'all =)

Today was fun, in a surprising sort of way. I hadn't planned on doing much, but my day was quite filled with unplanned fun stuff.

This morning, Nate and I were doing music for the kids at the thing at our church, and the dvd player short-circuited or something, and it wouldn't play. SO, Nate and I got up on stage and improvised. We had to do some type of easy song with hand motions so we sang 'Lord I Lift Your Name On High'. We had a blast! The kids kept wanting us to do it faster and faster, so it was quite amusing.

And, Blake stopped by at church today. Funny how it always happens when we go to the early service, but I went again (can't hurt, right?) and we had a fun time hanging out and stuff.

And and... I <3 emails... specially those that make you really happy!

And and and... I'm writing a letter to Hannah. HI HANNAH!!! I haven't seen her in forEVER!!!

And and and and... my life is just sooo great right now. It's totally everything I want it to be!

Love you all!
Christine

YIPPEEE!!!

Okay, so today we started our taper at swimming. We cut practice by about 1500 yards. So I have TONS of energy right now, and it's only going to get worse. =P

Earlier today...
Chem quiz went TONS better then the last one...
Played one game of Poker...
Then we got sick of card playing...

OH! Yeah! I remember. I was laughing sooo hard... Emily and Colin having a discussion over whether smoking cigarettes could make you high. Then getting into a argument over the definition of high. It was really funny =P

Then, Colin and I were talking about personalities, types and stuff.

Swim practice was great, cept for the drama...GRRRR.

Then we went to pick Michael up from Scouts, got their early, so I got to hang out a bit with some people.

:grin:

yay for fluffy feelings!! lol. I told you, I'm in a weird mood.

Cheers and LOVE!!
Christine

SMILE!!

Oh boy... I had an effervescent day!!!

So, it started at 8:15 when we left for church. After the first service there is this discipleship program that is from 9:30 -11:00. I help out with the K-5th grades, and Erin is actually in one of the small groups.

Fun stuff today was. . .

Nate. Oh my. He was trying to get his disciple tunic on. It was made for a 12 year old. He's 18. So it was quite amusing. Then, he found this silver, shimmery tunic and tied the sleeves around his neck, and was 'superhero disciple John.'

We had an unexpected visitor at church. He came for the 11:15 service. We were planning on getting picked up at 11, because we had already been to church. So, Erin and I stayed for the second service.

Then, when we got home, we showed off the puppies for about 30 seconds, then had to leave for a party. One of my mom's kids that she works with was turning three, and we were all invited to go. He and his two older brothers (four year old twins) have to be the CUTEST boys ever. So, that was lots of fun.

SWIMMING!!!
Nicole made me smile (actually, jump up and down) because she had seen Arthur on Saturday at Delaware States
Ian. Was. Hilarious.

I HATE MY BEST FRIEND!!! IT IS THE MOST AWFUL PIECE OF SWIM EQUIPMENT
EVER EVER!!!

Oh, and my dad got me a salad from Pat's on the way home. Perfect way to end a great weekend. (Well, not really end. I still have to work on this stupid rigmarole... grr... and yes, I'm late, but this is the first I've been home all day for more than 30 minutes.)

Cheers!
Christine

ohh my

I know I'm tired when some of these made me cry laughing...but, hey, it was 4:oo am...
