Fall Weekend had to be one of the best experiences of my life! There are many people who made the time at Rockbridge the best time.
One of many people who I can say are my best friends is Lauren Chapman. She is not only one of the smartest girls I know, but she knows how to put up with my seemingly endless sarcasm. She also listened to me when I had something to say, which is something I should be used to by now, but I'm just not for whatever reason. Anyway, she is just such a great friend, and I am glad to call her my sister of Christ. I hope that I can continue being friends with her for the rest of being
Another one of my many people who I consider my best friends is named Kendall Scott. She also deals with my sarcasm, though I think she just ignores it, so it's like it's not even there :). She also is able to make talking about sports fun. If we're talking about Soccer, she goes off. We talk about VT/UVA (VT>UVA :]) I'm also glad she threw that apple at my back. Though very random, I was waiting on it, and couldn't help but laugh when I saw her after throwing at me hahaha. I'm just glad that Kendall is one of my friends. I can honestly say that she is my (unbiological) sister, and I hope my friendship with her continues for eternity
Ryan Flora: Probably someone who I have grown closer as a friend to since I met him way back in whenever the heck it was. Ryan is one of those people I really don't know a lot about, but I know that will change as time goes on. I know that he is still my brother, regardless of how little I may know about him, and I hope that doesn't change.
Zack Lacy, my brother, best friend, and so much more. He has made both the trips to Rockbridge very special, not just by his endless amounts of gas, or some type of bad idea hahaha. He made it special because he has shown me so much about Christ through his love and caring for others. He also was able to give me a little fire inside of me because he knows exactly how to inspire my heart to just want to take in God's every single word. I know that my friendship with Zack will continue for forever.
My friend who I don't see much of anymore named Graham Harkey was able to make this time at Rockbridge very special, and very interesting. He told us a few things that I can not repeat to anyone, but I know that God gave him the courage to tell us of these times. I will personally say that I am very proud of Graham for doing this, because we got into a very very deep conversation with this topic, and I hope that the time at Rockbridge was able to bring him closer to God.
Needless to say, God obviously made the trip special. He is the creator of everything after all. When God sent us there, He knew exactly what He was thinking and doing. He knew that all of us were there because He wanted us to hear what He had to tell us. Though the talk was on the same thing as Summer camp was, I still think that it's a very important talk to hear, and I am glad that I was able to hear it again. God also brought one friend to me, helped me make many more friends, and bring me closer to my brothers and sisters that I already knew and loved. I thank Him for all He's done for me.
Liv Kiser was able to make the weekend at Rockbridge a very good one for me too. Starting from the bus ride up there, to the way back. On the way up to Rockbridge, Liv was having her little party session with another friend who will be in this, which was very very amusing if I say so myself. I got to hang out with Liv a little bit during camp which was really fun. I think that there will be many more times that Liv's presense in these trips will make it better for me:) I am glad to say she's my sister, and I know she and I will be friends for a while.
Jenn Vigh was one of the many first timers to Rockbridge for Younglife camp people. She too was able to make the trip fun, from start to finish. She was with Liv as they both were partying on the way up there because they were just so excited about going to Rockbridge that they couldn't contain their excitement. Which brought me and others great joy. Jenn also was with Liv when we were hanging out at camp. We just joked around with each other like we always do as if nothing had changed because really all that ever changes is the times and places of where you are with these people.
The mysterious Bloo Drank has returned. The mysteries of this amazing, yet simple drink. The Bloo Drank graced us with it's presense when we first went to Rockbridge over Summer, and when we come back in fall, without fear, Bloo Drank is able to come back to us and bring us all seemingly endless joy. This drink is just so filling that you believe that you are never going to taste anything better in your life. Thank you Bloo Drank, for showing your, well........liquid again. :)
I want to thank everyone who went and everyone who made the weekend a special time for me. I want to thank the people who helped get me there in the first place, because without them, I would not have been able to go. I Love You All so much, and I know that we will see eachother, well, everyone on here I will see tomorrow haha.
I also want to say that I can't wait to have this new opportunity. I am going to do Work Crew for another bunch of Areas Fall Weekend. I can't wait to give these campers the best weekend of their lives. I have heard that it is a great experience, and I hope that I will make new friends, and that I will be able to just serve the kids with the best of my ability.
I love you guys. Everyone listed on here, and not listed, because I can't think of who, or why. Just know that I love you, and I will see you guys soon!
