Sweet Picture
As you know, I have a boyfriend, and he is the sweetest boy I have met in quite a few years. The other day, I was looking up Pon and Zi, which are many pictures of these two things, I don't know that they are, that are in love on photobucket.com. As was Looking, I came upon one that was the best one I have ever read. I just wanted to share it!

Houston Mission Trip
I went to Houston, TX for a youth mission trip. We went to many sites to help as best we could in 4 days! We got bunches done! And I mean A LOT!!! The 1st site I went to was an all men’s Salvation Army place. My group actually finished all the work we needed to do in 2 days! We were known as Team Totally Awesome. Fitting, huh? Anyhoo, after 2 days everyone switched groups and the next group who went to the men’s Salvation Army had to actually be movedto another Salvation Army! hehe!
The 2nd site I went to work at was the Boys and Girls Club. It was like a church place and they were in a kind of Vacation Bible School thing. They were so cute and fun! I had to help w/ 7 and 8 year olds. I had about 6 little girls pulling at my hair tryin to braid it and stuff. They were too cute.
After those 4 days we had a “fun day.” We went to Schlitterbahn water park on Friday. Which was so much fun, but what wasn’t fun is that mother nature grabbed hold of me on Thursday (I know it was probably tmi!!!) UGH! But it was ok, my friends were understanding. We had to stay in groups of 3 and my group was so great about it. Anyhoo, so on to the next, very exciting subject.
So, that Saturday, we were on our way back to our very much loved home state and we stopped for lunch. After my friend(Genevieve) and I were done eating we went outside to sit with our other friends. (Let me get off subject a little bit here.) I have known this boy(Chris) for some time, since like 1st grade. And this week he came on the trip, and we got so much closer and more like BFF’s. Well, like I said, we were sitting outside and he was out there, too. Suddenly, my other friend(Kayli) says to him, “Can I tell her?” At this point I just want to know so when I hear him say sure, I immediately lean over to listen to my friend. She whispers in my ear, "Chris likes you." I had already told her that week that i liked him…and when I heard this, I was jumping for joy on the inside. But I had to stay calm, I didn't want the whole youth group to know. After lunch, it got kind of awkward and quiet on the bus. I couldn't think of anything to say or do. Thankfully, Chris out of the blue says, "Want to play hangman?" (We had been playing hangman before we stopped for lunch) Of course I said yes, there was nothing better to do and I had hatched a plan to see if he really liked me, and to get on the subject of maybe going out. It was my turn to make the puzzle, and the answer was, "You are cool." Simple? Don't you think? Once he solved it he wrote a note back that said, "Ditto." It was my turn again to make the puzzle, and the was actually a question. "Kayli said you like me" The category was True or False. When he solved it he circled true. Then I decided to take my plan into action. I wrote a note that said, " I have a prank to play on Kayli." The plan was to tell her that Chris asked me out just to make her shut-up. While we were writing the note he asked me out for real! And I said yes. (I know that was A LOT of details for that one thing, but, whatever)
So, over all the trip started and ended wonderfully! I can't wait to see Chris again. Right now he is out of Alabama visiting his dad. (until Aug. 7) So, I have a while before I will see him again, but I can wait. That's all for now. More about other stuff another day.
