invites ROCK

If you have never heard of an invite, it basically consists of us inviting a bunch of other young people from somewhere to come to where we are. We do things like work projects, singing, eating, playing games, and learning about our Savior. 
In Athens, we tried to host an invite! Even though Bluffton had a major snowstorm and canceled on us, we still had an awesome group of people make the effort to come encourage us here from IL, KS, and MS.

For our work project, we took all of these:
 
and all of these:
 
and worked to put them in these:
which took a lot of this:
 
(people working)
to send the clothes/shoes to here:

HAITI

Then, we ate:
(very healthy)
and played lots of random/ridiculous games...like the hand game:
 
and the "eep" "bong" game (not allowed to show your teeth):
 
and the MOST RIDICULOUS rock/paper/scissors competition EVER:
 
  
(2 opposing teams try to advance their way across the chairs by winning/losing)
...and who could forget all the awesome people I met/talked with/ate with/sang with/laughed with/took hideous pictures with:
 
(this is an imitation of the 1800s "look")
 
  
...needless to say, by the time Sunday night rolls around, you are exhausted but very happy/encouraged/exhorted/full :)

ahhhhhhhhhhh...my llife

First, hit up the store to do some shoppin': 

The horrible dilemma: which color???!?!?!!!
I went with the yellow ones.....which were only 3$! 

Then hit up the Edelman's for some very important play time:
And the barbies even have a mansion!!!!!
 
(can you see Lauren through the window???)

Then, off to pajama day at Preschool: popcorn and cartoons ALL DAY LONG:
 

And, FINALLY, gettin' into God's word:
 
The Bible Study is called "BASIC" which stands for "Bonding As Sisters In Christ". It's just me, Sarah, Ros, Anna, Jess, and Amber. Every Saturday, we go over a "basic" concept in the christian's life. It's very much like basic training before war: to prepare yourself to fight for Christ!
 
Jessica and Amber made this AWESOME GIANT cookie for BASIC this week. 
It was SOOOOOOOOOOO TASTY!!!!!!!!
 
AMEN!

Worthy Posting

FINALLY, I have something to blog about! Yesterday, we had some visitors at the preschool. They weren't the nicest, as evidenced by chasing Mrs Barbara across the parking lot when she was innocently taking out the trash, but we appreciated the excitement nonetheless. Welcome to the South:)

The big one tried to eat me!
