Playing Apples to Apples with Mary, Phillip, me, Liz, Meghan, Sarah Beth, and Beth. This was around Greenville, SC at an MK re-entry retreat that I just got back from. We had a blast the whole week getting to know each other, learning more about ourselves, laughing, crying, talking, playing volleyball, staying up late, and just having fun.


Jeremy who was superecstatic about the fish that he just caught. After this picture, he proceeded to cut the fishes head off so that he could retrieve his hook that the fish had swallowed. Unbeknownst to Jeremy at this point, that fish head would become the beginning of a week of pranks which involved smelly sheets and screaming and scared girls...


Me, Job, and Mary "kissing" behind Mary's supercool Japanese fan!


Job and David - Job thought it was hilarious to do the peace sign because all Chinese people love to get into pictures with white people and do the peace sign. David has lived in China most of his life so Job was being a typical Chinese. Haha...you're so funny Job. No, really you are and you smell good too.


Me and Phillip - he was our southern policeman who would protect us all by keeling anyone who tried to harm us. thank you very much mr. supercop.


Beth, me, Sarah, and Mary in room group. One of our favorite pastimes (other than laughing hysterically and seriously discussing of course) was eating m&m's, cereal, bagels, candy, drinking orange juice, and anything else we could find. It was a fun group.


My room group plus Phillip, who was our faithful photographer, weird question answerer, and true friend that would never betray or try and keep us up all night by scratching on the wall.


Meghan, Beth, Lisa, and me after church. We went over to Emily's house (an MK from Pakistan) and ate Pakistani food and sat around trying to figure out mind games and the answers to some funny stories. Coincidentally, all the stories had to do about someone dying...


Hanging out at the mall. Phillip had the brilliant idea of going up to strangers and asking if we could take a picture with them. So, here we (Phillip, Job, and myself) are with some girl who had a really shiny purse.


Dinner in the cafeteria with Sarah Beth, Scott, and Jeremy. Luckily the women's conference with 150 women wasn't going on that day.


Phillip, Mary, and me about to deliver toilet paper to our cabin. He's not really that tall, I'm not really that short, and Mary is tall.


My small group - (back l-r) Mary, Beth, Dave, Jeremy, Scott, (front l-r) Phillip, me, Sarah Beth.

Me and my grandparents when I was up in Alabama visiting them. I had fun seeing the small town country life and hanging out at their house. And of course teaching my grandma many new things about the computer.


Me and Joy (a very good friend in Orlando) the night before I left. We went to see the Island and that was such a good movie.
