so, to catch you up...the atl trip didn't happen as planned. the hurricane craziness forced us to turn back about 20 minutes outside of atlanta. the weather was seriously bad and only getting worse. no sleeping at last. no tattoo. but still, fun times with shua and mcd. a tattoo trip will take place soon...and it won't involve the phrase "redneck goddess." i'll keep you updated.

in other news...incredibly awesome things are taking place around here. our youth weekend, THE INFERNO, was so good. lots of crazy times. people locking keys inside a 15 passenger van that was running...in the middle of a scavenger hunt-type deal. another worker "locking her keys in her car," spending half an hour trying to find a hanger and then getting a guy to help her try to get in the car...only to realize that the back window was down. what? that's funny. oh, and another leader hit one of our guy workers with a van (he wasn't hurt). a group bought a puppy and brought it back for the bigger/better challenge. uhhh, okay. lots more hilariousness went on-- you'll just have to take my word for it.

students and adults combined...101 people gave their lives to Christ at new spring this past weekend. dang. i'm so glad to be a part of a church where God is moving in a mighty way.

our band is sick/disgusting/whatever word conveys really, really, seriously talented and amazing. bring me to life was one of the most powerful moments i've experienced in worship. if you weren't there for it...you missed out. i can't really put it into words.

now that i've brought you up to speed on my life...you should do the same for me. go to the comments section and tell me about the awesome things going on with you. go. now. for real.
