yesterday (saturday) was sooo awesome!!! i absolutely loved it. i love my youth group so much. we're all really close :-) :-) where do i begin? i got up at 5:30 in the morning and we left the church at 6:30. i sat by nickel (nicole best) and casey in the church van. it was so crowded but it was great. it took us about 2 1/2 hours to get up there. when we got there all of us went a million places with eachother to get stuff where it was suppose to be. i hung out with jamie most of the day. she's a senior and definitely one of my favorites. that's what we call eachother. she calls me one of her favorites and i call her one of mine. she's awesome. no wait, she's wonderful!! and i'm terrific! that's our thing..you wouldn't understand. her and casey are both seniors and..besides lauren..they are like my big sisters. i've told casey before that she reminds me of lauren who is like my big sister. but anyways. the day was soooo long but at the same time it was freaking sweet. i can't even explain it. at all. not even if i tried. we left around 4:30 and stopped in athens for dinner. it was yummy. jamie, casey, nicole, braden, sam and i all ate at wendy's and everyone else went across the street to either mcdonalds or somewhere else. the first time i really talked to braden allll day was at wendy's. that's pretty said. anyhow. i sat by jamie on the way home and listened to music and talked to her and casey most of the time. then i made braden listen to one of the songs that i put on the cd i made for him on valentines..so he did and i think he cried but i'm not sure because it was dark. when we got back to the church it was past 9:00 and my mom, kim and i stopped at the hotel to visit with venus and her boyfriend..who by the way was verrrry cute. i didn't realize how much i have missed her. i knew i did..but i didn't know how much. sometimes i wish that lauren, sara and megan could meet her and see how awesome she is. i seriously do because she truly is the best. and even though she's not my true aunt..i've always called her auntie v..always. my mom and her were best friends even before i was born. i've never heard my mom introduce anyone else as her best friend other then venus..ever. i wish we got to see her more then just an hour last night. i miss her already. but she said she's definitely coming down in less then 2 months for my 16th birthday so i'm excited. maybe lauren, sara and meg will get to meet her then. hopefully :-) :-) today (sunday) all i really did was go to church in the morning and then believer's service earlier. pam and todd just left a little bit ago. they came over to watch the notebook with us. i love that movie. well that's it. later.
