Camping Adventures


I'm taking a break from my homework to blog. It's been a while.
And, let's be honest. I would much rather blog than do homework.
(I thought I was getting better at not procrastinating. I guess not.)
This past weekend, to finish off my spring break I went camping with friends from InterVarsity. And might I say, it was the most relaxing part of my whole break. It was cold, there's no denying that. But the friends that were there made it totally worth it. No electricity, no running water, but plenty of good conversation and a whole lot of fun.
Thanks, Joey, for planning the whole thing!
Trying to sleep Friday night was an adventure in and of itself. Thank God for Hot Hands - the little packet warmers, and the body warmers that stick to your shirt and last for 12 hours...or more! Toe warmers were not discovered until Saturday when we made a run to the gas station to get more Hot Hands packets. We all survived the chilly night though, and Megan, Katherine and I made up for it Saturday night by zipping two sleeping bags together to create a giant sleeping bag - perfect for snuggling. One of my favorite parts of the whole camping experience.
Camping highlights: roasting hot dogs over the fire, making s'mores, playing guitar and singing at the top of our lungs, worship around the campfire, awesome God conversations, playing Scattergories and Clue, singing lullabies to the camp, and letting Kaleb and Dan practice their stick shift driving skills on my car.
There were a lot of fun parts to this camping trip. But these were the highlights.
Then it was back to Whitewater to get ready for the final stretch of the semester.

Biggest regret of my spring break?
Not doing any homework.
Which means tonight, and tomorrow night, and possibly Saturday night as well, I will be up til 4 or 5 in the morning trying to get this stuff done.
5 weeks left? 
I can do this.

Also, I'd like to give a shout out to my big brother Kyle, whose birthday is today.
Happy Birthday, bro! 
I hope it was as amazing as you are.
