The first day of VBS!!!

Steve, Megan, Lindsay, Me, and some other guy at the Sugar Grove Corn Boil!

(do you see the 5th person?)

What an AWESOME day at the Indiana Dunes!! The Sr. High Trip yesterday was amazing! The weather was beautiful and perfect until dinner time when these scary clouds came in....and the beach was suddenly deserted!!

You can read in the FORUM how sweet it was from the people the went by clicking HERE!!

Emily and I were poised with our cameras trying to catch some of the crazy lighting for like 10 minutes! I was lucky and got one...however it isn't that great. I'll get that up in the FORUM later tonite!

Chicago River = NOT CLEAR!!

NO CLEAR THIS WEEK!!

Why?? Because Noah, Danelle, and Rusty will be getting BAPTIZED at the Prime-Time Service!!!!

WOOHOO!!!!

See you there :)

Today is a MONUMENTAL day in the life of the Blackberry Youth Momentum Forum!!

This has only been online since like February, yet we just hit 3000 posts with 56 members!! That is incredible! This is exactly the vision I had and was praying for just 5 months ago...an online community where we can still connect and share life with eachother THROUGHOUT the week! I love how open, supportive, and God-honoring everyone is. Thanks for making this place SOOOO AMAZING!!

GARY'S BIG BONFIRE IS CANCELLED DUE TO THUNDERSTORMS!! (see previous post)

But, hanging out is cool, right?? We will be chilling at Caribou Coffee tonite in Batavia from 8-10pm. I'll be bringing some old skool board games , we'll be sippin some coffee, tea, and smoothies, and just kickin back!

**Make sure you have a ride that will drop you off at 8pm at Caribou, and pick you up at 10pm from Caribou.**

No charge, just bring some cash if you would like to order anything off Caribou's delicious menu.

The address is 201 North Randall Road, and I THINK it is on the corner of Randall and McKee Street, across Randall from the BP.

BOOOOOO!!!

well, it is raining! and it is supposed to be thunderstorms the rest of the evening. :(

NO GARY'S BIG BONFIRE TONITE

Sooo, we will have to figure something else out to do right?? I was thinking a movie nite, but unfortunately the gym is being used by basketball. So, how about a game nite??

At 1pm, I'll post up what we are doing and where we will be!! Thanks for your patience and your continued awesomeness :)

CHECK BACK HERE IN 30 MINUTES FOR OUR ALTERNATE PLAN!!

We're Back!!!

We had an AWESOME trip and we MISSED YOU ALL!! Thank you so much for your emails, voicemails, and myspace comments. Although I brought my laptop so we could keep in touch from the road, I forgot about ELECTRICITY!! Since we were camping, we didn't have access to power so our communication was cut short....sorry :)

Lots of cool pics to show you!

Thank you for your prayers. We were definitely blessed this week...we always had food, shelter, good weather, safe travels, and NO problems.

Pumped to see you guys this Wednesday!! We won't be at church Sunday as we are running a 5K....actually Lindsay will be running and I will be wheezing :)

Love you all.
