Study break.

For some reason, the only times I blog (which let's be honest, it doesn't happen that often) are the times I times when I should be doing school work. Like right now. I SHOULD be writing my paper. But what better way to get my fingers to typing and my mind in writing mode? Because my mind definitely is not in school mode right this second. Instead, I'm thinking about how in two days the car will be packed up and we will be headed to the beach!! One more day of classes. One day of work. Then up bright and early Saturday morning and we're off to Clearwater. I. Cannot. Wait. I need to get out of Knoxville. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Knoxville. In fact, I'm usually sad to leave it. But right now, the thought of getting away from school and busyness has never sounded so good. A whole week of lying on the beach and not having a to-do list sounds so wonderful.

A few things I've been meaning to blog about:
1. DANCE PARTYYYYYY- 90s themed. Strobe light. Spice Girls. Jerseys. Destiny's Child. Neon shorts. Bright shoes. Britney Spears. Jumpsuits. Pleather. Overalls. Celebrating the birth of Jamie Long. I think this was the best dance party yet.
Get it girls
You can't really tell what's going on here. But I also don't have any words to describe it. You can use your imagination.

 2. Capernaum Club- holy moly. Talk about awesome. there are no words to describe how much I loved this. I got to take 6 kids from Central to join a roomful of kids from all around Knoxville that have special needs for a Young Life club just for them. They LOVED it. Justin Bieber even made a few appearances. My favorite part? Sean sitting behind me saying "This is the happiest I've ever been in my life, I think I'm gonna cry!" It was so wonderful. Basically, everyone got to spend the afternoon just being themselves, hearing about  how much Jesus loves them, singing, and tying it all together with a dance party at the end. So so great. I wish these happened more often. One thing I wish I did- take pictures. Shoot.

3. Kaitlyn's Engagement Party- Saturday Lindsey, Laura, Emily, and I headed to Nashville to celebrate with Kaitlyn and her friends and family that SHE'S GETTING MARRIED. So excited for her. I loved seeing her so happy to be surrounded by people she loves. The party was in the coolest barn that belonged to Kaitlyn's fiance Matt's family. It was so pretty! The party was filled with lots of dancing and delicious food (two words- chocolate. fountain. YUM). It was wonderful. Congrats Kaitlyn and Matt- can't wait til the wedding!

Tomorrow night- Gym Night. All of our campers and their parents for Camp Koinonia are coming to mingle and play some games and get to know each other a little better. It's going to be so great. I've already met my camper Cassie a couple times. She's awesome. I am so looking forward to spending a whole week with her. Did I mention our cabin name is the Stone Aged Sassies? Perfect. I cannot wait for tomorrow night. Or to be at camp. Hurry up April 10!

Alright... time to finish that paper. Then it's spring break for me! Clearwater, here I come!
