way up yonder in the Smokies...


here i sit in a chair with a beautiful view of a mountain and bright red foliage to my left. its quite a sight. very refreshing. like sprite. oh yes.
Well we had the Missouri State Youth Conference at the Windermere retreat center this past friday and saturday. The speaker was a drama troupe called "Onetimeblind" the were AMAZING. eck yes. the musical guest this year was Pocket Full of Rocks. I've never been the biggest fan of theirs, but they were REALLY good live. They have such a passion. It was infectious. They really love the Lord, and its so contagious. It was just such a worishpful atmosphere. (forget using correct English) but sadly I had to leave saturday morning after breakfast to travel 11 hours in a car across the country with the parental units. ah what fun. actually i was probably the most annoying part. singing at the top of my lungs to the radio for 3 hours... (when i actually got control of the radio. Mannhiem Steamroller and Fox News talk radio is great! but after 9 hours of it straight...)
So we've just been chillin up here in Gatlinburg for the past week. i think we are leaving soon to go ride a cable car (hope we dont have a freak accident) up to Ober Gatlinburg. its a ski resort. even though there is no snow. but i digress. tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Which means stuffing. and even more stuffing. and thumbprint cookies. oh my.

well i must be off--haha--but here is a pic of me last night. I was drinking some WONDERFUL sweet tea from Taco Bell--of all places-- when i dumped it in my lap. baha this is so typical. enjoy.
