Portland Mission Trip

I'm back from Portland and boy was it fun!
I'm not even sure I can describe how much fun we had so, I'm not going to. Now don't complain quite yet, I'm going to add the video to the right side of my page. Click on it. YOu can see video and pictures of the whole gang on the trip. Its a rather long video I think almost ten minutes, but it has some really funny parts.

So enjoy!

Ice Cream Sunday

Hello Everyone.

You just have to love summer. I think summer officially started on Friday so...Hooray!

This afternoon me and my brother enjoyed ice cream sundays. It was way fun. And we sat outside, its beautiful. Mid 80s with a light breeze, and sunshine. I love it! This is what summer is all about.

Anyway, I'm off to my church's teen service. But i will definitely check in with you all later.

Smiles,

Dinner Time

So today was a Wednesday which means i go to the church. A group of us high school girls meets there for dinner and then we do a small group study (sometimes, we get off track....a lot). So the church has a great cooking staff, and i love them, but today's dinner. not so great.
It was sloppy Joe time. Now I'm all for sloppy Joe's, but these, not so good. I ate it, but my mom's is way better :).
So, i was walking down the row, and i get my sloppy Joe, and then i walk up to J, one of the cooks there, she's amazing, and she's serving the potato salad and the bean salad. In all honesty, i really don't like either of those. But she's looking at me so i took some of the bean salad, because i can pick some of the green beans out, as long as they went light on the dressing that day. J is all like "here have some more since you don't want potato salad" I was going to tell her no, but, she just slopped it on there too fast.
Then we had a green salad at the end of the table. I also don't like green salad, never have (probably never will), but i was ready to just pass by that one, and here comes J again. "Oh Joyful, hold on you forgot salad." and just like that I've got a mound of green salad on my plate.
We had brownies, and i was pretty excited. But it well, it wasn't their best batch of brownies I've ever had.

So basically my dinner tonight was a sloppy Joe, that was just bearable, and a brownie, that just wasn't up to par. But i still love the kitchen ladies, and i will be eating there next week, lets hope its something good ;)

But other than that my day was pretty good. Finals are just around the corner. YIKES! And I've had a project due every day for a class this week. but it is almost done so YEA!!!

Hope you all had a better dinner than me.

Smiles,
Joyful :)
