4:37 am

So, while I am waiting for my brother to finish hia paper route with the bike, so I can start mine, I'm going to make another entry. Right now I'm sorta being stupid. It's early, I'm tired, and I'm listening to my lullabys. I have a youtube account and one of my playlists is my lullabys. There's only six of them so far: You Could Be Happy-Snow Patrol, I Need Some Sleep-The Eels, The Luckiest-Ben Folds Five, Say It Isn't So-Michelle somebody, and Rain-Patty Griffin. They always calm me down and take away stree. And I have memories associated with most of them.

Since I just realized that I never wrote about Dave's farewell, I'll write about that now.

So at about 6:30 am Annie came and picked me up in her van. (It squeeks btw) We went over to Josh's house, where Rueben was waiting patiently because Josh woke up toRueben calling him to say he was There. Josh didn't take too long, so we were off quickly. Rueben is a good driver, I was riding shotgun. It was a pretty cool drive, Mapquest Sucks. We got lost frequently.. Eventually we made it to Garland to pick up Charlie. Then as we were cutting through (I think) sardine canyon we entered this HUGE fog. It was so thick that you could stare directly at the sun, as if it were the moon. We got few pictures. I laughed because we were recounting camp stories, but Rueben only mentioned ones from 2006 summer. Iyt was great, like our own inside joke, since I'm the only other one who was on staff that summer.
When we Finally reached the chapel we got there at the same time as Tyler, Whitney and Bwayden. Tyler's dad drove. It was great, we all hugged each other hello. Some lady noticed, and when we went inside she asked what all the hugging was. Some random kid who was sitting in front of us promptly said, "They were making out." We all burst out laughing. The kid only looked about six. Where on arda did he come up with that??? It was great. Alot of people from camp came. Prolly most memorably, Jess and his suit. It was striped...green, blue and orange. It was pretty much the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
Dave's talk was on honesty. I wish I had a copy of his notes. He is the most Amazing speaker I've ever seen. He speaks with such charisma. I cried when he bore his testimony about our savior and his infinite atonment. The spirit was so strong there.
Afterwards all the staffers went into the lobby to visit. I'm sure we were Waaay to loud.. But eventually we all made it to Dave's house for the party thing.
