So many saints to thank. Okay, deeeeeep breath, and:
There were a lot of things that impressed me about the whole XD experience, but the one that impressed me the most is how a hard-working field Home managed to leave their house and personnel for three weeks to the mercy of a hoard of (as Ryan would say) jacked-up-on-Mountain-Dew young people. Ryan, Becca, Nicole and everyone else in the PR Home, you guys are some of the most awesome people I’ve met and I admire you so much! I only saw a fraction of what you guys had to sacrifice for us wayward young’uns to get strengthened but what I did see is enough to make me want to sell all my possessions, move to PR and offer myself as your slave for at least a decade or so. I’m serious.
Okay, if I go on too long I start to sound like something straight out of Chicken Soup for the Soul but believe me, I could go on for awhile. May your names be written in the Golden Book. You all rock.
That also goes to you Brian, and all of you cool organizers and sheps – except for Jason, the fat shepherd who only wants to sell my wool (it’s okay, I can say this partly because I jest and partly because Jason doesn’t read my blog) I love you Prom, and I’ll miss you and how you laugh at everything I say.
And thank you so so so much, all my too-kool-fo-skool Home members, for stuff-staying and covering all our dish slots, phone slots, dinner slots, jobs, JJT’s and everything else. Y’all are every synonym in the book for “awesome”. Now that I’m back, feel free to make me do your jobs for you at any given moment and watch how I do it wholeheartedly out of the abundance of my gratitude.
To finish up, here’s a little samsing for your edification. This was part of a praise time dance competition – Johnny and Chuck doing a killer contemporary number. How they rawk my world!
