Miami: Official Day One

Heeeeeey! So today was the day that all of the rest of the students came in.

I woke up around 6: 30 to be able to pack my stuff up and check out. I headed down to one of the rooms to help with checkin for the people who came in with early flights. Worked there until 2:45 ish. It was a long day.

Around 4, I got a text from Tyler saying that he and Glenn were headed to the hotel. That was my cue. I guess I didn't think my whole plan out...didn't exactly consider the fact that I could get in a lot of trouble. I had 2 cans of silly string. I saw Tyler come in, and pretty much emptied a can on him, only to have him get the other one and dump it on me. Kinda made a mess. So that was a great way to welcome him, "Here, grab a broom and help clean up!"

It was okay though. A few people gave us strange looks, but it was really great.

I totally wish Lexi would have come in with him though, I thought they were on the same flight! So it ended up that SHE found ME and attacked me with a huge hug. And then gave me another one from Mrs. Samter C: It burned a little with my sunburn from yesterday, but it was totally worth it. I seriously love that girl.

It was incredible to be able to see my friends from last year. Tears of joy streamed down my face when I saw some of them. I also have been putting names to faces for the friends on my team. We're going to have a great time together.

We had our first FUAGNEM tonight, and Susie talked. I love the way she interprets scripture, and makes stories that occurred thousands of years ago, become completely relevant to 2010.

After FUAGNEM we grouped off into our teams, and got to know each other a little bit. After that, we had our drama auditions. That lasted for a little over an hour. We're in training with team 5.

Tyler got the Toymaker's son, and I am the photographer. Yeah, that means I get to wear suspenders, a spiffy tacky shirt, and some kind of huge sun hat. It's going to be SO incredibly fantastic. C;

I just got done making the powerpoint slides for our language training tomorrow. The girls are just hanging out in our room giggling now...oy.

Our day starts bright and early tomorrow at 7 with breakfast, and at 7:45 a team meeting, and at 8:30 the drama training will begin. Whoo hooooo!!!! This is going to be so much fun! 10 hours a day, after only 2 hours of sleep!!! C: YESHHH!

So, that's what happened today in a nutshell. I would really appreciate your prayers for health, energy, and patience. You all are wonderful. I love you. Thank you SOOO much for your support.

With love,
