I have 63 t-shirts. My dresser in Dowling does not have room for 63 t-shirts. Therefore I did what anyone would do; I set them all out, gave them a pep talk, and drafted 15 to accompany me to the land of the Tommies.
During the past week, 1. Both of my siblings have moved into college 2. I discovered the wonderful world of Skype and 3. This blog officially went live! (!!!) Why are these seemingly nondescript events so important, you ask? Well, my friend, keep reading and you shall find why this week has been one of the craziest weeks ever.
The One-Month-Till-Classes-Start mark (aka August 8th) finds me at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri on a family vacation of boating, tubing, eating and laying around. I shall now present you with a list of top ten things you should know if you ever go on a lake vacation.
Music trips, retreats, youth conferences, AP European History Class trip, Close Up, a random youth group trip to Chicago; the list goes on and on of all the fun adventures I’ve gotten to go on in the past four years. A group of close friends and myself decided we wanted to go on one last trip before we all went our separate ways, and so on a clear Thursday morning we loaded up the good ol’ Ford Expedition and headed for Des Moines, Iowa, home of Adventureland amusement park.
