Grad Bash weehoo!

Grad Bash was a BLAST. on the bus on the way over, we watched Juno but it kept skipping so we called it a remix and watched Chuck and Larry instead - hilarious....
and then at the park, we met up with britt, and got food then went to some of the clubs where they played...walk it out, apple bottom jeans, and other random songs like that. me and julian danced (well i tried to dance) to walk it out....i tried to do the walky thing and he tried to teach me...but it didn't really work lol. i ended up doing something between the moonwalk and the twist. haha.and then....julian stayed at the club and we went to different ones, which were a bob marley one (they didn't even play ONE bob marley song...it was LAME.) and a latin one (that one was fun though lol). and then we waited in a huge crowd to get in the park while people butted using a great strategy lol....they were like MOM!! MOM!! and they got in front of a big group of people, including us. we were kinda mad...but then we realized it was really funny and started cracking up.

And then, we got in the park, and britt and benito went on the hulk and me and cathy (the chickens) went to spiderman and rode that, then walked around the whole park and talked some people and got pictures and had people jump in them with us. that was pretty funny lol. i was taking a pic of cathy, and a group of like 4 guys came up and kept going WOOHOO!!! when i tried to take it, and then they asked if they could jump in the pic, and we were like sure and they did retarded poses around cathy. it was hilarious.
after that, we rode dr. seuss rides and other random things, and met up with the group after the hulk. they wanted to ride dr. doom, so we went to the spinny ride and had fun spinning when it wasn't moving.
After that, we went to islands of adventure, met up with John and Daniel (sooo much fun), and watched hellogoodbye and then rode the mummy, a very good ride, me and John were screaming our heads off lol. then we watched rihanna and met the lead singer of hellogoodbye and did basically the same thing as david crowder. :( we felt bad but then we were like, well he was standing there by himself wearing the same exact clothes, so he brought it on himself lol. and then we ate, and then went and waited for them to eat, and then left. it was a very very fun night lol.

two extremes of a long weekend

Friday was an extremely good day, but also a lot of death seems to have been going on this weekend, which is not good at all. It's really sad. Joe Crockett, Wes and Hobbs's grandpa died last week and his funeral was today. Their mom said they were really close to him and their dad's taking it hard. Also, Jessi's "cousin" Dustin committed suicide because of a long sad thing that happened, so that's extremely hard also. And Britt and her family, especially the parents of Casey need a lot a lot a lot of prayer.
In times like these it's hard for me to praise God and still worship him, because i'm like....why didn't He save them? he's all mighty right? this is something i struggle with, probably because of my mom dying. i hope to conquer it one day. I know that God allows things to happen to strengthen others, but i can't help but wonder at all the grief and sorrow this is causing, and how that can possibly help people.
But then i look at my own life, and how God has blessed me through it. I mean, i am blessed with being in a 2 cultured family and being able to know 2 languages fluently, having 3 sets of grandparents, having friends from all over the place, and just being blessed to be able to relate to all kinds of people. I know that if my mom hadn't died, God still would have blessed me, but in other ways. He made a really really bad thing come out for better than any of our family could have expected at the time. I guess i just need to learn to trust God even when things are hard, and not doubt every time things turn rough. So, just pray for me to lose doubt and to gain more faith. thanks guys. that was probably the most open about my feelings i've been in a long time lol. and Britt, we're all praying for you guys and we love you.
