IMAX Sadness
Me and my friend Bernie from work had planned on seeing the new Harry Potter movie on opening night at the IMAX in Hollywood. We've been talking and dreaming about it for a month. So, today was pay day, and we went online to buy the tickets. I clicked the button- and all of the sudden, in red, the most depressing words ever popped up: sold out. Am I dreaming right now? This is probably a nightmare, I'm just waiting for some horrible creature to pop up any second now and try to get me. Any time now.... ok it didn't happen, I guess I'm not dreaming. This is a sad reality for me. We decided to get tickets to the midnight showing in AG, I'm happy about that.
Despite this minor sadness right now, my life has been amazing. I can't even believe it. God is really helping me to be content in all circumstances and He has given me joy beyond my understanding lately. Farah moving out and getting married, it was hard for me, and it still is a little, but there has been a lot of comfort too. I go to bed and wake up praising God, He is so good!
4th of July, anyone have anything planned? Remember the block party last year? Oh man, those were good times! My apple pie was a winner, I don't care what anybody says. Well, I gotta get back to work. I hope you all are having a GREAT day! Love you guys!

Quack!
Here are some highlights from the Disneyland trip on Monday:
-I went on the canoes for the first time. Our guide's name was Joey and he was pretty much hilarious. At the end of our time rowing Joey told us to bang our paddles on the bottom of the boat. When we all started doing it, Farah did the most hialrious thing she has ever done. She started saying, "Quack, quack, quack." It was classic. Most of the people on the boat joined in too.
-A wave of water came upon me when we went on the rapids ride at CA adventure. It was hilarious because none of us wanted to get wet, but we all pretty much did.
-I got to ride in the front row of Space Mountain. It was AWESOME! I screamed for joy the whole time. I even prayed that I would be able to sit in the front and it happened! Yay God!
-Farah's brother Eric was pretty much obsessed with Buzz Lightyear while we were there. He kept yelling, "Buzz! Buzz!" in this crazy voice and people were staring at us. It cracked me up.
-Tower of Terror picture. Hilarious. I wish you guys could see it. I can re-enact it if you want me to.
-Sunburns all around. Ouch.
Those are just some of the highlights of the wonderful trip that was Disneyland.
In other news, I CAN'T wait to go to camp!!!!! Two new girls just got put in my cabin and they are absolutely hilarious! I'm so excited that God hand picked my cabin for me and that He is going to do something amazing this coming week. 3 more days! Please pray for me, that I don't let my feelings of inadequacy get in the way of letting God use me. Also pray that I can eat and sleep because I have been way to excited to do both lately. Thanks guys, love you.

Out of the Boat
So, you know when Peter saw Jesus walking on water and he got out of the boat because he wanted to do it too? I kind of feel like that right now. Let me just say, there are some scary things in the water. I never really thought about that in relation to the real story. First of all, there were waves. Waves freak me out. I like the ocean and all, but getting pummeled by a wave doesn't seem that exciting. Second of all, there are creatures in the ocean. Piranhas, sharks, eels, and some other scary ones. Getting out of the boat is exciting though, especially when Jesus is there to pick you up if you fall in.

Praise! Aerobics
Yesterday, Tani found the most hilarious workout video in the WORLD. It's called Praise! Aerobics. Now, you can workout to your favorite hymns, only they're a little faster and more peppy. Unfortunately, Farah and I do not own a vhs player so we haven't been able to praise off the pounds, but Micahel promised to buy one just for the amazingness that is this video. This weekend has been great. I slept in until 11am yesterday and just laid there until 11:30. Sometimes I feel guilty for sleeping that late, but yesterday I didn't. I wish I had every Saturday off, I think it would enrich my life.
In other news, the Lord rocks! I have been blown away by Him lately. You think you know a guy and then He goes and just does something totally amazing.. :o) I am so thankful that He is real. Not that He wouldn't be, but sometimes I just forget that He's always there and that I'm not praying into a void. Three cheers for Jesus!
I don't have school this week. What am I going to do with my life?! I'm considering going to Disneyland on Thursday.... we'll see. Welp, my dear friends, I hope all of you are living out your dreams. Love you guys.
