And most of y'is got postcards (but not all! Sorry, I only had 10 stamps! Don't cry). Carter, I am mailing yours today because I forgot your address at home. WHAT IS ELISE'S NEW ADDRESS, DOES ANYONE KNOW? Maybe I'll call her and ask.
School starts soon! 23 days. On the way home from the airport Mom was like, Hey, orientation is coming up!" and I was like "AHH SCHOOL!!". Craziness, but then I'll get to see y'is again. 10:30 Orientation rocks! w00t w00t.
So I guess I was really tired from this trip becasue I slept for 12 hours last night. Hehe, I got up at noon, which is the latest I've ever gotten up. Go me.
Matt's in the washing machine (not literally) so i had to kill some time and decided to come here to the library. CLG is here but he's wearing a doo rag whihc is odd. O.M.G. I saw the cutest boy in AZ. So, we go to this service Wednesday night at the Assembly of God in town. I had never been to an A. of G. or a charismatic pentecostal church, so I was excited. When we got there a man in a dalamatian suit was hugging everyone who went into the church, which was really weird, but I was assured that that is not normal, they were just a group visiting from TX. W/E. So we go in and sing like three songs in arow and I'm like, "Dude, when is this service going to start?" but it eventually does. Then I happen to look behind me and I see the cutest boy. Ooh, so cute. He had longish shaggy hair and was all dressed up for church and was with some of his friedns and I was just like "Dang you cute". On the way out I got a good look at him and my pulse doubled. I left kind of sad though, knowing I would never see him again. WAS I WRONG! So, the odds of finding the cutest white boy on the reservation are like nill, but hte next day Annelise needed an ATM so we stopped. We saw a shop called "Variety Store" and were intrigued and went in. As I was oggling adorable retro pencil cases (I bought one. I t rocks), who shuld walk in but Cute Assembly of God Boy! With all his friends from church and a bunch of teh choir. *Mega sich* So I am droooling over him for like, 10 minutes until its time to leave and we walk to the grocery store. Luckily, we lost our leader, and I was like, "Oh, maybe she's back at teh variety store. I'll go check!" And I do, but I bring Erica Hanson with me to show her the CAofGB, just to make sure he is real. And he is. AAnd she agrees. And we leave and I never see him again (for now), but he is still majorally cute. And life is good. One of the camp leaders was hot too, and a cute biker guy was outside our hotel room so it was a good week all in all.
In conclusion, I have returned from AZ, which has the biggest bugs I've ever seen, and also the craziest weather. It was 100` in Phoenix, but only 90's on the reservation, but then we could see our breath one morning in Williams, where we saw the Grand Canyon and Route 66. But of course it was 108` in Phoenix when we flew out again, so its nice to be home where August is cold, but not too cold. And a cute boy is sitting across from me as I type this. I love my life.
Oh, and I met three carzy awesome preists on this trip, which is really really weird. Katie Major and I sat next to Father Dave on the plane, and he told us about listening for God and how he does Excorsims in Africa. Then we went to mass on Firday morning in WhiteReiver with Father Eddie, who swears and flips people the bird when he gets really angry, and a lot of murderers are out to kill him, but his church smells really good, like incense. And then Sunday morning we went to church in Willliams (at a St. Joes!). The mass was pretty dull, but his homily was awesome. He was explaining the Luke 12:35-something about being a watchful servant and it was so funny! Then he made a side note about how the Christian church has NEVER supported Rapture theology, it was just some crazy man in Wisconsin. Jesus will return, but it won't be like, all teh good people get sucked up to heaven and the rest suffer down here on Earth. His firend is a preist and he was like, "What if teh rapture happened two minutes ago and you got left behind? What now?" and how its disrespectful to the martyrs and its really very arrogant. He mentioned that next week he was going to visit his sister and she had 7 kids and I giggled becasue she's obviously Catholic too. We named him Father O'Girdy becasue he had flaming red hair and was explaing what "gird your loins" ment. Very funny.
Anywho, it looks as if it might rain, so I best get going. Hope to see you all soon!
PS My party will likely be a salon, as that was teh best part of the last party I had. Just so you know.
