WCC 2018!!!

Weeeeeellll we can start off by saying that I made it through security with NO PROBLEM at all whatsoeverrrrr!!! 

 I got there superrrrr early because I was worried about it, with nothing to do, I just literally WALKED the airport, went through every terminal, the whole jazz...

When I found a PEETS...

I was like, NOOOOOOO WAAAAAAYYY... I MUST get one!!! 

Courtney picked me up from the airport screaming, WELCOME TO AMERICA!! WELCOME TO AMERICA!!! She even had God bless America blaring from her speakers!!! I was like, WOOOOOOW!!! People around us were looking pretty confused, Liiiiiike she looks American buuuuuuuuuuuut??? AHAHAHAAAA!!!

Courtney also diagnosed me on this trip with Restless leg syndrome, insomnia and ADHD!!! I was like, GIRLFRIEND, you got your MASTER'S DEGREE IN TEACHING!!! BAHAHAHAA!!! I can explain everything, I don't have restless leg syndrome, I'm just very energetic and can't stay still for very long, I don't have ADHD, I'm just a VERY RANDOM PERSON that changes from subject to subject and I lose my attention span and get distracted very easily, as for the insomnia, I'm not used to sharing my bed space with anyone...Just call that OLD MAID SYNDROME...BAHAHAHAAHAAA!!!

.

West Coast 2015!!!

West Coast!!!! Who's ready to hear about the rest of this trip??? Sooooooo Hanna and I headed to Starbucks before we left...OF COURSE!!! LOL

Then Hanna started listening to her audio book and I was trying to take a nap but you can see that since I'm taking a SELFIE of my self "Sleeping", obviously I was not to successful with that!!! LOL

Hanna's GPS took us ALL OVER THE PLACE off the paved road to some crazy back road in the middle of NO WHERE!!! Buuuuuuuut it got us there!!! LOL

.

By the time we got there we were SUPERRRR LATE, so Hanna and I RUSHED to check into our room and we got ready in like 8 minutes!!! LOL You don't gotta do much to look good when your ME AND HANNA!!! AHAHAHAHA!!! ;))))

.

Annnnnd WHO so you all think got the

 award for making A MESS THE FASTEST???

IF YOU GUESSED MARY...

You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!! Hee, hee!!!

Did all that in about five minutes flat, what can I say, its just one of my MANY TALENTS!!! :))))

.

Then check this out...

Jen and Hanna just HAPPENED TO MATCH in the exact dress!!! They had NO IDEA the other was going to wear that...I guess that's why they're kindreds, I wouldn't be surprised if Anali was over there in Roswell wearing the same dress!!! Bahahahaha!!!

 Sooooooooo the 10 hour drive to WCC was VERY SHORT for me!!! We left at 10pm I fell asleep midnight and slept straight through til about 9:30...

MJ just chilling with her iPad!!!

T was looking up Cracker Barrel on her phone, the nearest one was like 200 miles away...like REALLY??? No Cracker Barrels in the Fresno Area???

Me and Gracie...Like my pin rolls??? YES! i walked around the Raddisson with my hair like this!!!! Heeeeeeey its a PROCESS to beauty!!! Don't expect me to look GOOD 24/7/365!!!

 Altho, lets stop for a moment and look at this pic of me in pin curls annnnnnnd lets all admit THAT, even at my WORST, I still look pretty CUUUUUUUTE!!! ;)))) Okaaaaaay we won't post the pics my brothers got of me SLEEPING THO!!! LOLOLOL
.
MOM was FREEZING the WHOLE trip!!! Buuuuut T's van has this really cool feature where you can actually split the AC and Heater in the front between sides...unfortunatley the back was all AC!!! I was FREEZING TOO!!! LOL

Abie singing and doing the motions for Father Abraham while he drove!!! My mom was like having a panick attack....I was just like...Hold on so i can get a pic!!! HAHAHA!!!

Soooooooo its kind of a tradition for us to stop at this place right on the outskirts of Fresno called Bravo Farms!!! They sell all kinds of interesting Farmer's Market type stuff!!!

Of course I could NOT resist taking a picture with this lil box of chocolates!!!

Got Dark???? Yup!!! I couldn't resist!!! EVEN THO, Pastor's last parting words to me before leaving for WCC were that, "You might just need to settle for some WHITE CHOCOLATE Mary!"

 Oh YES Lord, give me a submissive spirit and obedient heart in this matter!!! ;)))) Iffen it be the Lord's will I'll take a white chocolate boo too!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!
.
Sooooooooo then we were walking around the property and they have all these cool things for the kids to do...

LIKE A FOUR STORY TREE HOUSE!!!

Sooooooooooo i'm a BIG KID!!!! Despite my brother's warning of them thinking that the steps couldn't hold me and that it was a steep climb, yada, yada, yada, etc...My sissy-in-law, Gracie poo and I, climbed to the fourth story!!! It was soooooooo COOOOOOL looking down at everyone!!!
.
So then everyone that climbs the tree signs their name or puts there name with whoever they like!!! Soooo of COURSE I had to do this TOO!!! I know, your probabley thinking NAME??? as in ONE and NOT plural??? NAMES??? Weeeeeeelllll... there is ALWAYS ONE NAME on my list that supercedes the OTHER TEN!!! BAHAHAHAHA!!! Okaaaaaaaay ACTUALLY, my list is pretty small right now...like ONLY FIVE NAMES ON IT!!! Any guy that has made it, should feel HONORED!!! Of course, its NOT like they'll everrrrr find out...UNLESS I marry them...BAHAHA!!! Hmmmmm...I WONDER who's NAME will be written up there in the tree, NEXT YEAR??? HMMMMMM...

.

Sooooooo as soon as we arrived in Fresno I spotted this camp out spot...I texted my Mexican dad and was like, DAD, is this where your staying??? LOLOL

 He's like, yeah, you wanna stay with us??? BAHAHA!!! He had been joking with me be BEFORE HAND, that they were too POOR to stay at the Radisson!!!! LOL WHATEVERRRR!!!! You should see the car he got for his "REAL" daughter!!!!

MJ's just chillaxing cuz we arrived to Fresno TO EARLY to check in!!! Theeeeeeeeen...I was TRYING to convince my sister to PURRRRRR!!! She said she couldn't!!! I was like COME ON T! PURRRRR!!!!

THEN we stopped at this Taco Bell...did you all know THAT Taco Bell NOW SERVES BREAKFAST???? Check this out, A WAFFLE TACO!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT??? I just LOOOOOOOOVE finding weird stuff like that!!!! Unfortunatly, I was still working on the 50 pounds before WCC, even tho we were already THERE...LOLOLOL... soooooo I didn't try it!!!! Can someone, that is NOT on a diet, puleeeeeezee get one and tell me how it is???

Annnnnnnnnnnd FINALLY it was TIME to check in to the Radisson!!! Annnnnnnd OF COURSE, I immeditaley started SOCIALIZING!!!! I sat down first thing with Bethany, Jacob and Caleb...SORRY your NOT in the pic Caleb.....annnnd they immediatley decided to start hounding me about my NON-existent LOVE LIFE!!! LOL Soooo WHO do you like Mary??? Caleb grabbed my phone and was like, lets see whats on here!!! I'm like GO AHEAD, there is like NOTHING TO SEE!!! Trust me, NOTHING!!!

Sooooo Idk buuuut aparently Motel 6 in Fresno has a BAD reputation!!! Soooo some concerned people from their church didn't think it was a good idea for them stay there and I was just like okay no problem but I can't switch i'm with my family and I already paid my part!!! Buuuuut really in my mind i'm like okaaaaay there is noooo reason to be scared...cuz someone said that there are prostitutes there and i'm like WHY would i be scared of a prostitute??? Just invite them to church!!! Right??? Thats just the way I think...LOL!!! Sooooo anywayz, from the moment we got there it was just GHETTO!!! Bahahaha!!! As soon as we got there, there were police cars there cuz someone had died...supposivley it was a 'Natural" death...HA!!! As in, when they got shot in the heart, their heart just, NATURALLY stopped beating???

Soooooooo then Wednesday night, I OPEN the door to our room and the WHOLE SWAT team was walking by with dogs, guns and police sheilds out!!! I was like OMW!!! They were like, "Excuse us Ladies!" I'm like ummmm...yeah go right ahead!!! I still didn't feel scared and wanted to watch but JAC didn't think it was a good idea in case there were gun shots...buuuut I did peek still and saw them handcuffing some man and leading him away...I was like WOW!!! The cRaZiEsT part was that it was completely SILENT when the police came in and did their work!!! Like we soooo would NOT have even known had we NOT happened to open the door!!! Kinda makes me wonder WHAT ELSE happened while we were SLEEPING the rest of the week??? Soooo yeah...I guess the CONCERNED people from Glendale were CORRECT!!! My whole fam has just agreed...lets JUST STAY AT THE RADISSON NEXT YEAR!!! Yaaaaaaay FINALLY! Soooo i'm actually glad we stayed there...cuz NOW we get to stay at the RADISSON...which is what I have been dying to do for like EVERRR!!!
