Hey guys,
From the college visit in Columbia, we pretty much came home, unpacked, repacked, and headed out again for family camp. Family camp is something that is brought up in the church quite often, and it's something that I've been looking forward to for months now. It is basically a long weekend of "camping"(in cabins) as a church, and just getting to know one another better. Pretty much as soon as we got there, Jae realized that she had forgotten something, and needed to go to Wal-Mart, and me, being the good friend that I am, decided to go with her. As we left the camp, we encountered our first obstacle, essentially, we did not know where we were. The camp is sandwiched between two larger towns, and we just had the hardest time determining what town was closest. Once we finally figured out which town was closest, we realized that the store was a LOT farther than we thought it was, but we did finally make it to the store. As we pulled into the parking lot, Jae just says, "Oh shoot! I don't have my after nines!" If you don't know what that is, it basically means that new drivers are not allowed to drive after 9. The time was 8:38, and the camp was 20 minutes away, doing the math, we realized that we had 2 minutes at the MAX to get in and get back out. We dashed through the store parking lot, and through the aisles(probably looking like complete freaks as we did it...), and made it back to the parking lot, the time was 8:41. We had 19 minutes to make a 20 minute drive. As we sped down the interstate, we both sat on the edge of our seats as we ate our pretzel m&m's(don't ask...), we knew it would be close. Luckily for us, thanks to Jae's driving skills we pulled into the campsite at EXACTLY 8:59, I even took a picture! I don't know about you guys, but that is a pretty epic way to start family camp!!
<3 Always,
Rose
