| You Are a Good Friend Because You're Accepting |
 No matter what a friend says or does, you try your best to understand it. And your friends feel like they can tell you anything. You don't judge. You know that friendship is a journey - with a lot of ups and downs. If you and a friend grow apart, you get over it quickly... and leave the potential for future friendship open. You tend to have many friends from many walks of life. Anyone you meet is could become a friend. In fact, you are especially interested in people who are a little different than you. Seeing life from another perspective is something you cherish. Your friends need you most when: They can't turn to anyone else with their secrets You really can't be friends with: Dogmatic, stubborn people Your friendship quote: "Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes." |

Friday, Sat, and Sunday 25th, 26th and 27th of May in CO
:Friday:
It took a while to get a car. Julia almost blacked out. Her face turned white and she couldn't see. It was kinda scary. When we FINALLY got the car (silver mini van exactly like the Wayne's) We drove for about 20 minutes then stopped for lunch at someplace called like Golden Corral. It was soooo YUMMY!! We hadn't eaten for 8 hours. Then we drove some more and stopped at CCU (Colorado Christian University) to get a tour of the campus for about an hour and a half. Then we drove more to get to Breckenridge! It took like 2 hours. I was so tired after traveling all day. I know, Val, that you love to travel but when you do it ALL day long it gets tiring. I was so glad that we got there. It's nice to relax after a hard day of traveling. I woke up at 5:00 that morning and it was 8:10 your time, 6:10 our time when I finally got to sleep. I was up for 15 hours! When I was trying to get to sleep my head starting throbbing and burning up. I didn't think much of it and soon fell asleep. I woke up 2 hours later when Josh woke me up for dinner. And like always Josh chased me up the stairs, so I ran up. I shouldn't have done that, cause when I got out of bed I felt dizzy and sick. And with the high altitude you run out of breathe extremely easily. So I sat on the couch when I got upstairs, but then I couldn't get up. I couldn't even move. I felt paralyzed! I was started to black out cause my eye sight was fading. My mom came over to try to get me up. She brought me over to the table and I couldn't walk straight. I just stood behind my chair until Josh said "MANDA, JUST SIT DOWN!" then I sat down. I didn't feel like eating anything but once I drank some milk and ate some food I felt better. It's hard to explain how it felt exactly but it's the scariest, weirdest and most unforgettable feeling ever. It was because of the elevation was so high. It was 11,000 feet in Breckenridge. I felt tired, weak, and out of breathe for a few days until I got used to the elevation. So that night the 4 girls watched house and then finished getting settled in, then went to sleep at 10:30.

Saturday I slept into 8:00. 10:00 your time. I still felt a little out of sorts, but better. I had an onion bagel for breakfast. Then we all decided that we should drink a lot and eat often to stay normal. Mom and Dad went out to a horse place to sign us all up to go horseback riding on Monday. Julia, Josh, Dad, and I played hearts, while Cherise and Mom played Catch Phrase, then mom, Cherise, Josh and I played Dutch Blitz (like nertz) while Julia took and shower and dad watched TV. At 2:30 the girls went to the hot tub a few doors down from out room. Then we went on the bus to go downtown to walk around and see what there was. We had to wait 20-30 minutes for the bus to come. We walked around and bought a few things. I got a pink hoodie that said "Breckenridge" in purple letters. When we got back mom made dinner. After dinner the girls played Phase 10 while the boys watched TV. Then we all played Catch Phrase. After 4 games of that we made pop corn and sat on our balcony til we got cold and turned on the fireplace and sat around it talking until bed at 10:30.

Sunday I woke up at 9:00. We ate a big breakfast. Pancakes, bacon, fried eggs, bagels. Then at 10:30 we headed out into the woods with our bibles for our own church service. We sang songs that started with "Blessed" So we sang Might King, Blessed Be the Name of the Lord, and Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel. Then we all shared something about God and how he has worked in our lives. Mom sang a solo, Josh did a sermon, then dad sang a song for a prayer to close. Then after the service we walked in the woods getting pictures in the woods.

Me listening...See the Snow back there?? Cool!

Anyways, after all that fun we went back to the condo and got in our swim suits and work out clothes, jumped in the car and went into town to go to the rec center. We had these pass thingys that the condo people gave us so we could get in free. But, sadly all we could do for free inside was work out and swim. So that's what we did. I worked out on this machine for your legs for about 20 minutes then we all went down to the pool, which was only 4 feet deep at the deepest, so we didn't really swim. We just went in the hot tub. They had tennis, rock wall climbing, and racket ball. After being in the hot tub for like 10 minutes the girls went to the locker room and got dressed and all ready to leave, went out to the car, hoping Josh and dad would be out there, but they weren't! And we didn't have the keys either. So we waited about 20 minutes for them to come out then we sent Julia and mom inside to get them. When they found them they we sitting at a table talking! That was surprising cuz normally it would be the girls who stay around talking and the guys out waiting for us to get to the car. When they finally came out we went farther into town to get something to eat. We went into this place called "Extreme Pizza" We took one look at their prices and said "No way" and walked out. We ate at "home" instead. Then after lunch we all took a nap. Julia and I slept the longest. We slept for 2-3 hours. The rest of my family went to a meet and greet thing that the condo place was having for people that stayed there. When I woke up we all played Catch Phrase again then watched a Monk marathon that was on TV. Then we went to bed at 10:30.
