Once again I write about a month later...  a tradition now perhaps?  What made me think of updating?  Kasie is the reason.  I saw her update and was like...  OH YEAH!  I got one of these things.  Anyways...  What has been going on...  hmmm...  Lets see...  GOD IS AWESOME!!!!  Yeah thats it!  lol, but true!  Oh and speaking of camp, I know I haven't mentioned it but Kasie did in hers, it was crazy!  I know it is still going on but you have no idea.  Well I guess I will tell yall great peeps that read this.  The VERTICAL youth left out about 9am to Country (Discovery) Camp in Columbus, TX.  I guess they thought they got everything...  WRONG!  But it happens to everyone that goes on trips.  You always tend to leave things behind.  Well I get a call about 4:30pm from Noel asking me to goto church and look on Pastor Aprils desk for an envelope that said Drama Info.  Well I did and low and behold, there it was and inside was the info and the DVD they needed in order to perform there drama at the audition the next day, as well as the marionette sticks they needed for it as well.  I advised Noel that they were there and then she wanted to know if I could overnight them to her.  Well after I started checking in on doing this, I realized something...  the next day was the Fourth of July and no one will be delivering packages!  This presented a problem and I didnt want the youth to be disapointed since they worked so hard on it at the drama sleepover on Friday night.  So I advised them that I would personally drive there to make sure they get it.  After a few problems, I left out at 9pm.  After an encounter with a deer (no damage to the car) and a DPS trooper ( just a warning), I showed up in Columbus at the camp at 3:30am July 4th and was greeted by Chad!  He advised me that he was so amazed that I did this and had never had anyone ever offer or do anything like this before.  I guess I am a rare breed, right Noel.  So then I went into the dorm to catch some zzz before leaving back out for home.  WRONG!  I got maybe 30 minutes of sleep, if that.  It was cold, lots of snoring, and everyones technology was going of in one way or another.  So everyone got up and had breakfast and they wanted me to stay for the audition which starts at 10:30am.  Well I said yes and helped them get everything and everyone ready for the skit.  Well then during all of this time Travis misplaces the marionette sticks and I had to go out and search for them, but I finally located them.  Anyways the auditions started about 10:45am.  We were not first, nor second, out of the 12 drama teams, we went number 7.  They did a great job and looked to me like they couldve made the final 5 teams.  (as of this time I dont know the results)  Well right after they performed, I left and it was already noon.  So I drove nearly straight back, only stopping twice.  I got back to San Angelo at 6:30pm and went straight out to my parents place to meet up with all my family as well as some friends, including Nick.  We ate and shot off fireworks.  All the while I am starting to colapse and fall asleep.  I finally left there about 10:30pm and came home and crashed in bed.  Unfortuanetly, I didn't sleep real well last night either and didnt want to wake up with the alarm clock.  So after a dragging day at work, I am hear writing this, checking emails, and so ready for bed...  so... L8RZ!!!!!!! 

I know how Nick likes to add pictures to his so...  Here is a few pics I took on the way back.  I never stopped so all these were taken as I was driving.  Cheap digital camera, but it gets the job done!

These photos are taken of downtown San Antonio from I-10.

These are of a storm I had to drive through just on this side of Kerville.  This storm had lots of lightning, but I never got a pic of it.

Well there you go!  Talk to yall laterz!!!!  And PLEASE comment!!!!
