Today was such a fun day! I got to spend a good portion of the day with one of my girls from the youth group, Miss Dominique! She actually drove all the way out to Manassas on her own, which I think was a little scary for her mom since she hasn't had her license real long and it's a ways from her area. Anyway, she made it safely after a little help from her handy GPS navigation thing! We first went to a little dairy shack nearby and messily ate soft serve ice cream cones outside. I think they melted on us more than we ate them. After we cleaned up from our ice cream we headed to a naked pottery place right nearby in Manassas that Joey and I have gone to a couple times. You pick a piece of plain, unfired pottery, paint it, leave it for them to fire and then pick up your finished pottery a week later. Dominique painted a cute little box and put a small hippo on top (the box could be used as a little jewelry holder or just something to put smaller things in). I painted a mug covered with big polka dots. They both turned out very cute! After pottery we headed to the Shull's house for the '07 seniors cookout. It was a fun night spending time with the new senior class. I can hardly believe my girls are now seniors! Thanks for such a fun day Dominique!

We've been back from summer camp about a week. Both of us had such an awesome time with all the teens and found ourselves asking, "Would we want to do fulltime camp ministry?" I was COMPLETELY shocked to hear Joe say, "I'd give up computers to do something like that." You have no idea how huge that comment was coming from him. He is someone that at age 6 was drawing pictures of computers and writing papers for his teacher that said "I like to do computers." We have no idea what was sparked in us during camp or if it will lead to anything other than a week each summer with the youth group, but it's neat that we both felt like we were where the Lord wanted us.
Highlights of the week for me were: white water rafting (despite the lily pad game), tubing, having an awesome group of girls for my small group (Yeah Ashlyn, Bethany, Elizabeth, Emily, Kara and Victoria!), slumber parties in our room, sand volleyball, connecting one on one with several girls, and learning that I am an angry, greedy and jealous person (Thanks Frank!).
We didn't take a single picture (didn't even bring the camera) so hopefully we'll get some from friends and can post them at some point.
Hard to get back into work again.
Oh and for those of you wondering about the bus ride...Our bus was the one that broke and we had to turn back, unload everything and get a new bus. We were only 1 1/2 hours late though. Apparently buses just aren't my thing.
