I am officially back from the best week of my life! I just got back from Florida Camp and I had the most amazing time.! This year was extremely touching and uplifting for me and I feel so much more spiritually minded and closer to my heavenly Father. It is a feeling that is indescribable to sit in a auditorium with 300 + Christians and sing and praise God. I am never able to describe how much it touches and influences my life.... all I know is that it does and I am extremely thankful for all the people that made FC camp happen. Senior talks made me cry as always, and I made Kaitlyn cry when she was doing so well! :( SORRY BABE! :) We closed camp off with a spiritual obstacle course that symbolized the course of life and and small glimpse of what going home to be with the Father would be like. We had to be pick up trash, wash feet, spread the gospel, carry each others burdens, and do spiritual exercise. We also had to hold our arms out and bend our knees and stay for as long as we could to get a small glimpse of the pain that Jesus went through on the cross. When we were done we ran into the chapel and all of the seniors were waiting at the door to congratulate us and welcome us home. It was the most amazing thing and I am so thankful that I got to be a part of it.
We learned a song this week and my favorite line is:
Beauty that made this heart adore you, hope of a life spent with you.
I love you all.

I had the most amazing weekend EVER!! My mom, Lauren, and I all went to Orlando to shop, and my dad took Andy to Disney World for his 13th birthday. We only covered half of the mall on Friday and we were pooped. Then on Saturday we went to Bass Pro, Lil' Tractor Shop, and we covered the other half of the mall. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! We laughed until we cried, and pretty much tore up all of Orlando.. But it's ok.!! We had a blast!!! I ripped an arm off of a manican, Lauren ripped a manican off of its hanger, we accidentally knocked a bunch of bottles off of their shelves in Old Navy, We made a huge mess in the bathroom from our shaving cream wars, We made puddles on the carpet ;) lol, and the hotel room that we stayed in will never be the same!! It was the best weekend EVER and I am so glad that we got to go.!!!
Hope everyone is doing ok.
