Don't throw up




My cousin and I went to ceder point this year. And boy was it fun!! This was the tallest roller coaster there........all I can say is WOW. It was soooooo intense. The ride only took 17 seconds to complete!!! CRAZY!! I am ready to go find the worlds tallest roller coaster now.

ipod lost?


Thursday morning at CIY. I'm gathering my things getting ready to go to morning service. But I can't find my ipod shuffle..... I look frantically around the room searching everywhere. But I can't find it. I feel sick to my stomach. It wasn't the material loss of the ipod, it was a gift from my brother. What you must understand is that my brother and I don't have a very good relation ship and that we don't buy presents for each other. So I was pretty torn up. So I got to the lost and found. The last time I remember having it was in the arena waiting on my youth group. So it must have fallen out of my bag. I go to the lost and found and report that its lost. then I decide to ask the CIY people to announce that its lost. so I'm walking through star bucks and I see one of the youth ministers sitting having coffee. So I go and ask if he could make an announcement. "are you really upset about this" he asks me "yes" I say, I am now in tears(it was an emotional day) He looks at his nano and says "you can have mine" I stare at him in shock and promptly refuse it. " I will buy you a new one" he says. Again I refuse. finally he asks me for my address and says not to be surprised if one shows up in the mail. I thank him and walk away to dry my tears. After all that I go back to scour my room. And what do you know its in some of my shorts I forgot to check. I feel like a moron. So I decided to write a letter to Jim( the youth minister) and thank him, also to explain why I was so torn up over a ipod. I say to Andrea that I hope to run into him. So we walk down to the lobby of our dorm, and then out the door, and what do you know..he is walking into the lobby....
