Alright, alright, everyone has been asking for a new post so here you go. Now Catie, this is mostly about your rat and the beginning may sound bad, but everything turns out fine, so don't worry. =)
Thursday evening, I got a call from my friend, and neighbor, asking if i would be able to watch their pets for the weekend while their family went camping. Of course i was happy to oblige, but then, i got a tiny piece of news that didn't excite me quite as much. I was also to be taking care of lucy, Caties rat. Now I have an incredible dislike for all rodents and reptiles and this one was no different. I was having my doubts as i was walking down to the Rowlands, but when they pulled the critter out of the cage, i saw that it was quite harmless, and maybe, just maybe a tiny bit cute. So the next day...well, acually it was probably night by then, when i had to go down to feed the pets I took one of guests from dinner. Cassie, our high school pastors wife. When we got down to the house i walked into the living room where i had been told by Catie herself that the cage would be there. I was stopped in my tracks by a most destressing sight. The rat was not there, neither was its cage. Oh great. I thought, where in the world is lucy? "Umm, I can't find the rat Cassie." I told Cassie as i walked back to the front door. Now i wasn't worried at all because i knew that the rat couldn't have just vanished WITH it's cage. But Cassie did not share my confidence. She began to look nervously around on the floor which i thought was funny, but she obviously did not. "This is not cool Kayla" she told me. Thus began a VERY thorough search throughout the house, including the garage, with the exception of the parents room, for the missing pet. But she was no where to be found. By now i was getting frustrated, finally i picked up the phone and called my mom asking if she had any idea where it would be. She said she didn't but she sent down my dad and OJ to help us look. After a while i told them that they could leave, i would stay behind and look for the rat. Well, i finally found it after they had left. She was in Caties room, where i had already looked about 1000 times, sitting on a shelf. I was greatly releaved and after that had no further problems.

High School Retreat
Hello to all my readers.
From wed afternoon to friday afternoon, i was up at mt. giliad(sp?) with my high school. It was alot more fun then i thought it was going to be. So, the first night we got there, we were expected to play these unbelievably dirty games. We were split up into teams and then moved from one game to the next. The games included, capture the flag, tug of war on a slip and slide with someone spraying you with a hose (not very fun) and trying (notice the imphisis on trying) to shave a balloon without popping it, the balloon had shaving cream all over it, along with other games that i decided against participating in. The food there was, surprisingly, very good and i learned a fun game that is sometimes played at debate tournys. Probably the best part of camp for me was the bucket of ice that they had on a counter in the cafeteria. (sp?) Now, some of you might be wondering right about now, whats so great about ice, well i'll tell you. This ice was not your normal break your teeth ice cubes, but small ices cubes the size of eracers that u could just pop in your mouth any time. So on to the speaker. He had very impressive credentials, i must admit, and he made very good points. But.....he didn't seem like he was basing his talks on the Bible, which disappointed me greatly. The first night he had those of us who had our Bibles open up to a certain passage and he said to those who didn't have their bibles, 'to contemplate why they didn't have their bibles.' But after the first night he didn't again mention our bibles, except for an occasional verse on the over head. So that was a bit discouraging, but other then that i had a very fun week of camp and made lots of new friends. =)
