A Week of Play!

I love my life! All I do is play, play, play! This past week two of my friends who were counselors at LCCC came to visit me and our other mutual friend. The four of us ran around Six Flags and enjoyed every ride twice because there were no queues. Actually, I had not been to Six Flags since I was in the single-digit years of my life, so I was a bit nervous at first! My uneasiness quickly disappeared as I discovered that I REALLY like roller coasters! Who knew!? That evening we played Settlers of Catan (the complicated Cities and Knights expanded version) until about two in the morning!

Everyone awoke from the exhausting slumber party at 10am to enjoy breakfast over another game of Catan! They taught me how to play 42 that evening, which, by the way, is a great game! 42 was the "adult game" every year at Hunt, so I felt very grown-up to be playing this game. We, then, of course played Catan and fell asleep around 2:00am.

Waking up the next morning was a little bit more difficult, but we managed! We celebrated our friend's birthday in downtown Fort Worth, with dinner, a live band, and a wee bit of dancing. Then we returned to my lovely apartment for more Cities and Knights of Catan and a movie. The birthday celebration ended at 6:00 the next morning- yikes! Six hours later we began our final day. Within the hour, all of my friends had abandoned the Carroll Hotel and were off to get back to the real world.

How grateful I am that this "real world" has not yet become my world. I love my life!
