While most of my friends and family stayed home to celebrate the 4th of July, I had the awesome opportunity to go with Lindsey and the Pomona Chrisian Church youth group to Holland, Michigan for CIY (Christians in Youth) Summer Conference. It was an amazing week where I got to meet new people, try new things, and grow closer to some of my friends! I also learned a lot while I was there about various things and some of them are as follows...
1. Michigan McDonalds do not sell sweet tea! : (
2. Sand does not taste as good as it looks!
3. It doesn't matter if you are at a Christian conference...not everyone is honest. I put change on the railroad tracks everyday hoping to get the trains to flatten my coins so I would have them as a souvenier...but everyday some skanks stole my money! I put over a dollar in change on the tracks in total!
4. People from Illinois are called "Illinoisians"
5. People from Indiana are called "Indianians"
6. People from Michigan are called "Michiganites"
7. The silent "s" in Illinois is optional. You may pronounce it like Ill-i-noy or Ill-i-noise. Either way is acceptable.
8. And since the "s" in Illinois is optional so are all "s"s....otherwise that would just be an absurd rule...and we all know the English language is consistent 100% of the time....so for example you may pronounce horse as Horse or Whore.
9. "T" and "H" are also optional. For example....If I were trying to say "look at that"...you can say look at that or the short version look a ha! or....the EVEN shorter, more condensed version....look a a! :)
10. Even the most pointless story must be started with "Oh and come to find out...." lol
11. It really is scary how alike Lindsey and I are except for a few minor details! (see number 12)
12. Lindsey can't stand my organized chaos as I like to call it. lol You should have seen our room! On her half everything and I mean everything had to be in a certain place and neatly arranged...on my side of the room I was proud of myself when I picked up a banana peel from a banana I had ate the previous night! lol I don't see why everything has to be neat! I mean as long as I know where everything is I am happy! :)
13. Lindsey drinks as much water as there is in Lake Michigan in one day!
14. Pick on Jordan week will never end. It has become pick on Jordan decade.
15. NEVER take air conditioning for granted!
16. Lindsey has the ability to read my mind which scares me! lol
(I will add more as I think of them! :) )

Was God at this conference? Or was this all about Lindsey and Jordan? haha.
I must say...the two of you together is quite scary....and I wouldn't particularly like to bunk with someone who left banana peels out overnight...was this a camping situation? Could wild animals prevail? eeek.
Michigan is awesome. I'm sad they didn't have sweet tea for you.
The part about the "s" is hilarious! Or hilariou...either way is fine...or i fine.
Jordan...you know they love you or they wouldn't pick on you. (Just keep believing that!)
All in all, sounds like Michigan was fun.
And come to find out, Tory did not like our rules that we made up. However, I think they make perfect sense.
Banana peel=GROSS!
Everything has their own spot and SHOULD be kept there! : )
And, yea uhm what Coach Daugherty about picking on you. Keep believing that!
Okay. So...I have decided that you need to blog more often. If you don't I will...uhm..er...release sharks into your pool. And Lobby's too! Thats right. So, it would be in your best interest to blog again shortly.
