parties and a graduation

"...remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Travel. Get plenty of calcium. Respect your elders. Floss. And always wear sunscreen."

This weekend was one of the most eventful weekends i've had in awhile. I feel like i'm coming out of a deep sleep and summer is under way! My exams have come to an end and the craziness of summer is about to begin. Kaily and I have started a list of 'must-do' things this summer and it keeps growing!

Thursday Priscilla came over after our last exam and then in the evening was the ice-cream/movie night at church. Friday, after church, we piled in to cars and formed a caravan of enthusiastic teenagers as we all drove out past the pyramids to Amy's humongous house out in Saqqara for a pool party! The highlight of the day was doing a skit with Kaily. It was hilarious and everyone couldn't get over it! I don't think they knew how much talent our youth group has.

After the food, skit, and a slideshow of the year i slept over at Kaily's. She did my hair in to little twists and it looks pretty much awesome because that's what we are.

Saturday Kaily and I dressed in our best and caught a ride out with the Megalaas to school for Bekah's graduation! It was crazy, but when you squeeze thousands of Egyptians on to a soccer field it's inevidable. Everyone was screaming, the band was out of tune, and the guy who gave a speech didn't make any sense and was b...o...r...i...n...g. We had acouple after parties and i didn't get home till early sunday morning.
