I had an awesome weekend last weekend! I got 3 days off in a row, to start with. For those of you who know, that hardly happens. And i spent all 3 days off the ship!!! Yessssss!!!!

Saturday - I went to Brian's house and hung out there all night. I also got to chat with Kendra and my mom. brian has a web cam so that made it really cool. I wish Kendra and my mom had a web cam. Anyway, Kendra and I talked for 3 HOURS!!!! That's stinkin awesome!!!

Sunday - I got up around 2pm because I stayed up real late talking to loved ones and watching movies. That's ok. I'm glad church doesn't start until 5pm :). I got to church at about 4:30 and practiced a little with the band. We always do a small practice before the service. Praise and worship went well except for the fact that my string broke on the 3rd song!!! My string broke right before I did my little solo :(. That's ok. They had an extra guitar there, luckly. Then Shannon, one of the ladies that sings in the band, invited me to go to Tokyo Disney Land the next day with her and her family. I was like, "Heck freakin' yeah!!!" So, I went to the ship and got some clothes then went back to their house and stayed the night.

Monday - We got up early, about 6:15am and started out day off with everyone taking their showers and brushing their teeth. The we all pile in the van and start our little road trip to Disney!! It was about a 2 hour drive but I didn't care. I was having fun playing with the kids in the back of the van. Shannon and her husband Prescott have 3 kids. The oldest is a girl who's name is Autum. She's 12. Then there is Alissa. I don't know how old she is. Then there's the littlest one, Austin. He's 8. We get to the park at about opening time (9am) and started our adventure. And what an adventure it was.

Before we did anything we made reservations at "Polynesian Paradise" some dinner-show place. We went on about every ride that we could. We did the "fast pass" thing that gets you threw the line faster which means we got a lot of things in a good amount of time. Oh, did you know that the fast passes are free?! YEAH!!! I didn't know that. That's kind of cool. We saw their Christmas parade and light parade and some other shows. That was nice. Then at about 8:30pm we headed to the "Polynesian Paradise." They didn't have a menu to chose from, you ate whatever they brought out. So, I had 2 kinds of RAW fish, ribs (which weren't any good), and some other stuff that I don't want to know of. I don't ever want someone to tell me what was in the mushy stuff. Then, the entertainment came on. 4 beautiful belly dancers!!!! Wow, could they dance. I've never seen a women shake thier hips like that. Anyway, toward the end of the show the women cam down and started grabbing me and taking them up onto the stage. And I was one of them. They had us shaking our butts and twisting and turning. It was all fun until one of the ladies looked at me and said, "Stay here." They spoke really good English, they were Hispanic-American I think. Next thing I know I'm up on the stage with one of the dancers and she says, "Do everything I do." She had me shakin and bakin. LOL!! I was shakin my but at the crowd, screaming everyhting. Then, all the girls gather around me and start moving their little pon pons up and down my body while I stood there shaking my pon pons up in the air. It was so much fun. LOL!!! Of course, Prescott, Shannon and the kids got a kick out of it. LOL!!! She got 2 pictures of the whole thing. After dinner the park closed and we drove home.

It was a really awesome weekend. Praise God for Christian families :)!!!!! They also invited me over for Thanksgiving dinner!!! I can't wait!!!!!

Well, I'm going to go. I'll chat with you all later. God bless!!!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: It's ok to get a little crazy at times; just keep your head on straight.

"Sorry belly girls, I'm taken." I love you, Kendra!!!!!!
