Once upon a time, gale force winds were rattling the windows, the lights started flickering and...

Free hammocks and free food. Sweet!

A few days ago we had a stake activity. Well, it isn't technically my stake anymore, but Sofi was in charge and she said I had to come, so I did. Plus, there was free food. No need to say anymore than that. :)

Jennifer, Scott, Cullen, and I all went and ate our free dinner and candy. The activity was a 'jam session' so after eating we sat down to watch the 'bands' compete. Some of them were pretty darn good. During the activity there were raffle drawings and.....I won the first drawing! It was great and only mildly embarassing what with Sofi telling everyone there about the time I wore my birthday suit for my birthday. (No, I was NOT naked. Pics are on Facebook. ;)
At any rate, I got a hammock! I can't wait to test it out. I think its maiden voyage needs to be out in the woods somewhere.

Lady Luck was really with us that night. Cullen won...although he got jipped. He had to pick a date for another guy. Then Jennifer won. And of course she got the dartboard because she thought Scott would like that best. Then Scott won! He grabbed a journal, because he knew that was what Jennifer really wanted. Those two are so cute it makes me sick sometimes! ;) One of these days I'll find me a guy that picks out his raffle prize based on what I would like. One of these days...

We made out like bandits that night! Free stuff all around. I'm so grateful for church activities. Definitely a blessing for a poor kid like me. haha. Despite what this post may sound like, it's not just the free stuff though. It's being spiritually uplifted. It's being around great friends and great company. And it's about coming closer to Christ. I love the church! :D
