Yesterday I had class until 3ish but had to take an online quiz, for which I still had quite a bit of studying to do. All said and done I finished at around 6:15. It was Wednesday so there was church... sort of... The AC church in Roanoke had some construction being done to it so they asked my Dad to give his testimony in their fellowship hall. Roanoke is an hour drive from my house and ICCs downtown campus is around 20 min. So if I would have driven home from ICC then left right away to go to Roanoke I would not have made it to church (which started at 7:15) on time. So I left straight from ICC and had my parents bring me a skirt.
No matter how many times I hear Dad's story I will never get tire of it. As a kid it was an adventure story and something to brag about: MY Dad lived in Romania! MY Dad road under a train to cross a boarder without getting caught! As I get older though I have learned to appreciate God's involvement in his life.
Afterwards I stood around and talked with different people. I got to see Abby Moser again. She is the sweetest, most down to earth, coolest girl ever. She is 16 and goes to Roanoke. With like 7 or so brothers and no sister she grew up a tom-boy. She likes to shoot guns for fun. She is going to take the hunter's safety course so she can get her hunting license and hunt this season. I still need to do that before I can go hunting. Oh yeah, did I mention that I got a bow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we decided that we both need to shoot our first deer this year.
Anyway she is the other girl who I am planning a three day hiking trip in Colorado with. I am going to take a group of girls to Colorado to hike the mountains with nothing but a bunch of backpacks. We will sleep two nights on the mountain. I CAN'T WAITE!!!!!!!!! I have never been backpacking before. Sad as it is this is probably the most independent thing I've ever done. I've gotten mixed reactions about the idea of me taking a group of mostly younger girls all the way out to Colorado. I have been told that I need to find an adult to come. I am absolutely apposed to the idea of giving the reins of this trip over to someone else! But my parents, strangely enough, are completely confident in me. I am confident in me too so I am going for it.
