Halloween
Well, honestly my family doesn't celebrate Halloween. We aren't crazy or anything our church just doesn't agree with some of the stuff for Halloween so every year for Halloween we go to my church and have this big harvest fest party! Well this year, because they wanted to change it up a little, we did a candy fest! this was pretty much just a big play of the candy land board game and they had a bunch of games and activities where you could win candy and play games and a bunch of fun stuff. Me and my three friends went dressed up as the four colorful game pieces from the candy land game. I was the red one! my friend Mallory was green, my friend amber was yellow, and my friend Jessica was blue! I felt pretty bad for amber because first off, every store we went to didn’t have yellow face paint and then we couldn’t find a yellow shirt and she finally got paint and it was for like a poster or something and it like crusted off of her face haha it was sooo gross. Mine wasn't any better I must admit because my paint never fully dried and I think I ended up getting paint on like 10 different people, my pants, and all over the floor. it was pretty awful. I sort of with that we never did that, but at the same time it was cute so I am glad that we did. Also it was really hard to wash off and my scalp is still dyed red from the colored hair spray. All in all it was a fun night, but next time I think we should dress up as something less complicated hahaha

HIAWATHA YOUTH RALLY!
Last weekend was the most fun thing ever! It was the HIAWATHA YOUTH RALLY! I work for Hiawatha youth camp over the summer as the head lifeguard and last weekend we had a rally. What we did was we all got together, both staff and whatever campers could come and we pretty much just hung out and got to see each other after our long gap since camp. Every year Dan Stadt, one of the guys on staff, makes a video for the entire summer at camp. This year the video was almost a half an hour long!!! It was so worth it though! I loved being able to see all the wonderful things that went on at camp and it made me want to go back so bad! All I can think about is next summer and how incredibly awesome it is going to be! I love all of the people on staff they are so great! The best group of people you could ever ask for!
After the rally ended all of the people who were on staff went out to dinner together at Arthur’s Family Restaurant. It was a disappointment because the food want very good but I really enjoyed getting to spend more time with the staff and Emily who has been at Spring Arbor. After the staff went out to eat we went back to the church, where the rally was, because we thought that if we went back to the hotel too soon we would end up getting in trouble since we are a VERY loud group of teens. The church was fun. Some of the guys were playing the piano and they were actually pretty good! I love the piano! I would give anything to be good at it! Anyway, after we fooled around on the piano for a little while me and Kaylie went to the back of the church to watch some of the other guys play three on three football. It was entertaining to watch but some of them were pretty competitive. I was almost positive at one point that Aaron would end up getting shoved through a wall by one of the Malochlebs. After eating non-stop and yelling and whatever else until 3 o’clock in the morning we decided that we should go back to the hotel. Not like we went to sleep or anything but at least we made an effort right? Haha jk.
Eventually we got around to getting some shut eye! Me and Erin shared a bedJ In the middle of the night our covers fell of so Erin went to go grab them but she was so tired that she rested her head on my butt and fell asleep. Then a little while later she ended up waking up again and finally getting our blanket. We had church in the morning so we had to wake up earlyL ! We woke up right at ten, just in time to run down the stairs and grab some breakfast. Then we all got ready and went to church. After the two hour long service we all went out to eat at Red Robin’s! Their fries are sooooo good!!! There is another story about my dad coming to pick me up but I will save that for a later dayJ

THE THREE AMIGOS!!!
Okay so i just had the most fun ever! I'll start off by explaining my title. My friend Amber and my friend Billy and I all used to work together at the same daycare.
I have known Amber for about four years now, but I met Billy about a year ago. And Amber and Billy grew up together so they have known each other their whole lives. Well, once we all started working together the three of us got really close! Now we have special little friend dates once in awhile just to catch up. Me and Amber usually try to plan something but Billy usually likes to just sit and talk (one time he suggested that we go sit in the library??) haha but we are okay with that too because it usually ends up being really funJ Tonight was our friend date! We all got together at Amber’s house and our big plan was to have a little fun cooking in the kitchen making turkey burgers! I have personally never had a turkey burger until tonight but they were actually pretty good. After that we saw that there was a special on ABC Family of a bunch of combined Pixar shorts (so it was a bunch of those little movies that come on before you watch one of their movies). Those were probably was funnier than they should have been for three college students but it was pretty interesting. That was on for a long time but we didn’t just sit there and watch it we talked through all of it just to catch up. Me and Billy got to talk about Spring Arbor because just like me his best friend also goes there! Small world huh? So we talked a little bit about that and stuff and I got him excited to go up there next weekend to see his best friend so that should be pretty fun for him!
After talking and what not for awhile I decided that they should all experience star tipping! (I explained what it was in my post about spring arbor) So we all go outside and for the longest time we spun around in circles and then fell over haha. Amber was pretty funny because she would always fall over before we shined her in the face because she was so dizzy. Ashley, (Amber’s twin sister that I’m also really good friends with), was so funny! She would always spin and go crazy and we would have to chase her around the yard so she wouldn’t crash into something! After that I went and I pretty much followed in Ashley’s footsteps haha. One time I got so dizzy that I ran right into Billy and grabbed onto his arms so I didn’t fall then let go and started running to the side and completely took out Ashley but it was so dark she didn’t even see me coming! IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER! And then I was so dizzy still that I couldn’t even stand up! HAHA but then BILLY!!!! HAHAHA he never fell but he would spin around ten times and while he was spinning he would look up at the sky with his tongue hanging out and would make the funniest noises and then we would be like “okay Billy stop” and try to shine the flashlight in his face and he literally couldn’t stop himself from spinning! He was like “my feet won’t listen! I can’t stop spinning!” and we finally caught him and helped settle him down. All in all it was the most fun thing that we have ever done (probably not really but its pretty high up there!). I absolutely LOVE the three amigos and I am so blessed to have all of them as such good friends!
