We Were Kidnapped!!!

Snug and warm in my cozy bed, I sink lower beneath the covers, and try to block out the sounds coming from the hallway. I hear Mom, Dad, and Alexa's muffled voices. "What time is it?" I think to myself. As I finish asking myself this question, my door bursts open with a loud BOOM! Mom speaks first "Get up! We're kidnapping you! Get up! You have 5 minutes!" I am in a daze, but somehow manage to ask, "What time is it?" "4 AM!" Mom replies. Ugh! I roll out of bed, still a bit dazed. Finally I get my bearings enough to ask, "So what are we doing?" Dad speaks this time, "We are going to breakfast. We have a lot of other kids to get, so hurry up!" "And no changing, combing your hair, or makeup!" Mom adds. Oh my, what are these crazy youth leaders up to?

For all of us, that was how our mornings started. We were woken up SUPER early to go and have breakfast with our "friendly neighborhood youth group" as Mike so nicely put it. After the initial shock wore off from being up at the butt crack of dawn, we started to think, "Haha! This is crazy!" After the last person was woken up, we all headed to Denny's in the Caring, Sharing, and Growing in Christ van. So here we are, sixteen of us bombarded Denny's with our PJ's and messy hair.

Thanks so much Mike, Wendy, Chuck, and Susan for making yesterday morning super fun for us. Yes, believe it or not we did have fun. But take this bit of advice: next time to want to take up to breakfast, do so at a DECENT hour! LOL! Just kidding! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!

Oh, and one more thing....THAT VIDEO WAS HILARIOUS! I learned many things, the most important being: Don't EVER wake Marah up at that hour, unless you want your head torn off!
