I conquered the LoveSac <3 <3

Yes... so it was on December 10th, 2006 that I, Amy Vergin, slept on Anna's LoveSac and did not wake up freaking out because my leg was completely numb. Yep. Don't bother asking questions. It's a strange story and well, that's basically the gist (jist?) of it. So it goes...

My weekend was FANTASTIC. I mean I had Friday and Saturday off. To top it off, I got to hang out with Sarah and it was one on one for most of it. And I've been having issues with groups and such lately so it was just really good. I hate making people feel left out and I hate ignoring them cuz most of the time, I WANT to be really close with everyone, but I don't put in a lot of effort. So then it sizzles and dies and I feel really bad. But we went to Panera and ate and talked and she met some of my managers/fellow employees. Then we ran around Target and then went to see The Holiday with Kara in Delano. It was really good. It was a nice chick flick to see because boys never let us see girly movies without making fun of them. YES boys... I like them, I watch them, and I am giggly when love happens in them, which is all the time. So leave me alone. lol. But the rest of the night was spent at Adam's talking about... well, how to talk about God and really bring our group alive again. It was really good. I enjoyed it. Now a couple of us are reading Romans:1 and are going to discuss it at a further date. Which is good. Gives me an excuse to read the bible (like I don't have an excuse now? goll..) and then we can discuss... so I can be learned in our Lord. FINALLY.

Saturday was really super early, but quite an adventure. I met Laura and Abby (from PA! I love her!) at the Mall of America because Abby had never been since she was from PA. What a perfect time to be in Minnesota, because there is the world's larget ginger bread house inside the mall. But woah, I'm jumping ahead of myself.
LAURA: So to get to the Mall I need to go North on 494 and then...
AMY: Yes, go North and then you'll just see signs. It's not hard to miss. It's probably about 20 minutes
LAURA: So North, and a bunch of signs? Okay. Easy enough
(Fast forward 10 minutes until we are supposed to meet and Laura calls again)
LAURA: Does 494 turn into 94?
AMY: Uh.. yah, why?
LAURA: Cuz I'm there... I'm in Brooklyn Center
AMY: OMG!!! I'm sorry!! YOU were saying you were going North, but I thought you mean South so I just agreed!!

Yah, pretty much I'm a flame and got them lost because when I say N or S or whatever, I never know what I'm saying, I just know the direction I need to go. SO I thought she knew where she was going. Haha. Apparently not. So that was that. But Abby LOOOVVEED the Mall and we saw the big house (The outside is way better than the inside) and we rode a ride that Abby could not believe we were on inside of a mall. We also met up with a girl named Robin who also did YWAM and rode rides with her and got breakfast and went shopping. Speaking of shopping. We were in Urban Outfitters and I was looking at this book that was cool but I decided I didn't want it. We walk out of the store and I grab the map of MOA in my hand and lo and behold, the book was with it! The alarms didn't go off or anything! I totally forgot about it. My mouth just opened relaly wide and I was like: I'm a SHOPLIFTER!!! I mean we returned it and everything but it was just scary for a second. But now I can say I've shoplifted before. Woo hay. Besides that, we just bought things.

I also went to see my manager Russ' kids on Sat. because I hadn't seen them in a while. We played for like 2 1/2 hours and then they bought me pizza. Mmmmm. It was great. The girls love me and I feel like they are siblings I never had. I mean younger siblings. I don't know how to react to little kids. It's funny.

I also went to Adam's for a while and played Don't Break the Ice and hung out and then went to Anna's!!! That was wonderful. I mean I hadn't seen Anna in a while, and Laura and Abby were sleeping over. And then Karrah actually showed up and we were all amazed. We all laughed so hard. We all just go way bad so we can talk and talk forever about things and then switch to stuff going on now, and I just know that our friendships are good. I got a little mopey cuz I seem to not know things that have recently happened to my friends which is ridiculous, but oh well. We were up till almost 3 AM. It was great. I wish I could always spend my Sat. nights doing that. Being with just the girls. It doesn't happen much, especially with those girls. Except who am I kidding. I love boys. Anyway, it was nice. And I love them all.

So as everyone knows, I'm house sitting over Christmas break for James. It's interesting. I just am confused on why I was chosen to do this job? Like his parents met me once months ago, and as for James. I mean we were talking a lot for a while, but it's def. minimal now. And he called me and the last time we talked on the phone was this summer. So it is all really bizarre and I'm not sure how to feel about this. But hey I'll do it cuz I love the house, I love the dogs, and well yah. That's about it.

Oh yah, someone is paying for my school. EEP. wow. Yikes. amen. sigh. really? woah. huh... yep. Those are the things that come out of my mouth when I speak of this. It's crazy and I can't believe it's happening. I mean it's great and yet it scares me. my worries are like one, if I can't do it on my own now, I never will be able to, and then I will be a failure and not go back next fall. But again, I think God is teaching me to be humble because it's really hard to take people's money. I feel awkward doing it. I don't know why. I wanna do it on my own, but obviously it's not possible right now. Like I MISSED a semester because I couldn't do it by myself. And the fact that I'm going this semester is a miracle. A true miracle. How the heck am I only paying $1600? What the frick? I don't know. I praise God for it though. That's that. This blog is long. Sorry.
