i went to church this morning and it was okay i suppose. everyone's on vacation though, including jamie and i really miss her. the sermon was about how we need to be lighthouse's in the world and help "guide people to safety". it was probably one of my favorites too. after service i came home, ate lunch, then cleaned my room and folded my laundry. finally! i really needed to get all of that done. so anyhow, after i did all of that i went back to evening service and braden ended up going so that was pretty cool. uhmmm...after service we had "pound your parents" night as sort of a welcome for all the 7th graders who will now be in the youth group because they're old enough now. it was fun. samantha and i talked for awhile about a whole bunch of stuff and it was nice. then later braden and i had the chance to talk too. tonight wasn't all that bad. lauren left at 8:00 this morning for doe river gorge. she won't be back until july 8th and i'm going to miss her so much! you have no idea! i already miss her and she just left! yeah, i'm definitely going to die! okay, later hoes.
