What a week!
Jun. 24th, 2005 10:17 pmWell, VBS at my church is over. In a way, I'm relieved. I won't have to tell Micah to stop throwing sand, Rodney to stay in line or Miles to stop playing and pay attention. On the other hand, there is one kid in particular I'm really going to miss: Ethan.
When he first came in, he was so shy, and cried for his Aunt Patty as soon as we got on the playground. In fact, he left and went to her class for the rest of the day. The next day, he lasted a little longer: until after play time was done. Patty stayed with with our class this time. The rest of the week, though, we were able to make it without her. And this kid isn't really much for play. We sat and talked most of the time, about Teen Titans, the rocks he got from Yellowstone, shamrocks, Jesus and other assorted things. But I finally got him to play a little today...although...he insisted he push me while I was on the swing. We also played on the seesaw. I'm pretty sure he developed a crush on me during the week, because he kissed my hand before I left today. Poor kid ^^;
Not looking forward to getting up at 5am, but Seth (student minister) wants us to get to KY as soon as we can and start inviting people to Bible school. Though I'm not looking forward to the lack of sleep, it's going to be amazing!
Well...I still have a few things to pack. Type at ya in a little over a week.
EDIT: I can't believe I forgot to mention the haircut! Ok, quick over view: layered, shoulder length with *gasp* bangs! Ok, so they are long and cut at an angle, but they are still bangs, and my mom can't believe I asked for them! Ok, for real now, bye!
