No Excuses

I wish I could tell you that I had 100 good reasons for not keeping up with my blogging but I really dont have any. I've had time to post stuff, I've probably even had a few good stories to share...but I always forget them by the time I think that I need to post. So now I'm recommitting myself to my few readers I have out there and any stalkers who have not made themselves known to me and my lack of blogging. So, take this post as my true word that I'll make a better effort from this moment forward to update you on the happenings of my life and If I don't better you can give me a hard time about it forever or hunt me down, your choice!

Labor Day weekend, a little late.

Over Labor Day weekend we took two of our teens to a huge youth rally called Faith Quest at camp yamhill in Yamhill, OR. This rally consists of over 390 teens and chaperones and although it was a different kind of experience for us we still had a pretty good time and enjoyed the worship aspects as well as the socializing with people that we usually only see once a year at church camp. I also saw two girls who I was in the same social club (Gamma Rho) with who I didn't even know were in the Pacific Northwest. Here are some pictures and two videos of some great singing that we got to experience while we were there!

This was a fun song that had everybody jumping and shouting.

I love this song it is so powerful!

Tonight we had a spaghetti dinner before church with a teen family planning meeting during service and it went Great! It was a big encouragement to us and every teen was represented by a parent which is what we totally were hoping for but not positive would happen. We now have a few new methods and things to try and the biggest thing we learned is communicate with the parents...go figure! We always assumed that the kids were relaying things to their parents but apparently not...but you know what they say about assuming....
