Swamped

Goodness Gracious. I was just getting started with blogging and then everything felt crazy. I can definitely tell that it is February at work. It has been dreary and cloudy for weeks on end and everyone really starts to feel it! However, in Gatlinburg this weekend we were able to enjoy 65-70 degree weather everyday!

A few things about the trip.....

-Charter buses are the only way to travel! It was the best trip yet because we didn't have to worry about keeping 4 15-passenger vans together and stopping every two hours to fill up. I called our bus the "Rockstar" because it was really new and sleek.

-Standing in line was almost fun because we weren't freezing our tails off!

-All of our kids were very responsible. They were where they were supposed to be at all times. Most of the time they were even early!

-The drama and art was really moving. I think Sunday morning was the best session by far.

-Our chaperones were incredible! They really work to make the trip an awesome experience for our kids. They are willing to do whatever the kids want to do.

-I was so proud of the way the students opened up and shared their hearts during our devo time Saturday night.

-We got to witness one of our own dying to their selves and being raised into life with Jesus! We are so proud of you Casen.

-The worship time on the bus Sunday night was spontaneous but moving. I think we even impressed our bus driver, Mr. Don.

-Topaz really stunk after a weekend at the kennel. He must have had a good time!

-These weekends totally wear me out. I was exhausted when we got home and crashed early.
