Tennis, Gilmore Girls, friends, late night drives, Sonic

I can't even remember how many times we went to Sonic this weekend... I think it was something like 5 or 6 times. Our first trip was Friday evening after we couldn't decide what to do. Apparently the cool place for CofO college students to hang out at is the Sonic patio. Anyway, we went there and I got my free birthday cream slush, Emma and Katie got drinks and mozarella sticks, and Nathan got something of which I can't remember. :-) Daniel had to work, so we didn't do much. He's the cool one in our group. Saturday night was even better. We all went to dinner together and Daniel got a piece of cake. It looked delicious so Emma and I got some as well. Daniel took a couple of bites and said that his cake is never as good as it looks. Emma agreed wholeheartedly. Then Daniel said, "I'm sure it would taste good, if I actually liked cake." I almost died of laughter. I hope the tables around us didn't think I was crazy. After dinner, we discoved our great love of tennis and our epic skills at serving tennis balls. After an explosion of laughter we made our way to Sonic, the third trip, and then preceded on a late night drive down a rode Emma insisted was fun to drive. There was one point on the trip when Daniel gasped and we made a quick, extremely sharp, left hand turn. Apparently Modot needs to work on their signs. Dan's gasp was followed by yelps from the rest of us. Then, Emma insisted on having her window open as she downed an oreo blast and shivered the entire time. She has this obsession with putting her head out the car window when we're out driving in nice weather.

That was enough adventure for one day. Emma and I went back to her room and watched Gilmore Girls. Emma is starting to talk like Lorali.

Sunday was a great day. We went to church, which was awesome. I love FBC Branson. Then we went to chapel. I'm trying to change my attitude about chapel. I have this idea in my head that I HAVE to go to chapel and therefore I don't really get anything out of it. The entire time I sit in chapel I think about how I'm glad that chapel is only 50 minutes long and that I only have to go 7 times a semester. That is horrible of me. I am constantly reminded of what a sinner I am. In otherwords, I fail. Thankfully my God is gracious and His mercies are new each morning. :-)

Sunday afternoon we played some more tennis and the boys made a Sonic run for us. Emma and I got major sunburns on our shoulders from our tenniss match. We were excited to be tennis players so we wore tank tops. We said we looked very "tennis-ish". It was fun though. We then watched a movie, "The Tourist", and everyone fell asleep and missed the entire middle. As soon as it was over Emma said, "Can we watch it again right now?". Thankfully it was suppertime. After dinner came another round of tennis and another Sonic run. Today my arm hurts from the many retries I took trying to serve the tennis ball and I feel fat from the Sonic food I consumed. It was a great weekend. Very humbling in many ways, yet very encouraging. I love my friends.
