I think I have had the most fun in the time that I've lived in Missouri this past weekend. I can't think of anytime that I've had such a blast. It was like when I get together with my friends back in Utah, when we were in high school and we'd just go out and party!
Friday afternoon was spent driving. I left my house at 12:40pm and we didn't arrive in St. Louis until about 7:45pm. Yes, it was a LOT of driving. We missed the opening address by the area seventy, Brother Reall, but we felt okay about that. After that, we went to the St. Louis City Museum. That place is nothing like a museum! It's like a giant hamster cage for people! There were wire tunnels, a wheel, skate park ramps, caves, slides, a Ferris wheel, shells of school buses and airplanes on the TOP of the building, plus so much more that we didn't get to see. If I ever go back to St. Louis, I am TOTALLY hanging out there again!
After the museum, we headed to our hotels and didn't end up getting to bed until about 2:00am on Saturday. Sleeping arrangements were insane! There were 12 of us, 4 guys and 8 girls. We had two rooms. Each room had a King sized bed and a hide away bed in the couch. That night we had 3 girls on the bed, 3 on the hide away, and 2 on the floor. Crazy right? We found out the next morning that the 2 of the guys had shared the bed, while 1 slept on the hide away and another on the floor! Needless to say it had us girls laughing.
We were up at 6:30am and heading towards the next location by 8:00am. Once there, we went to our assigned tables, met some new people and got to know each other before the meeting started. Bro. and Sis. Reall made us play this weird game, after which they shared a message with us. Once they were done we got lunch (I got a Chicken Salad sandwich) and we started working on a project at our various tables. It wasn't really much, but it was fun getting to know others.
Once that was done we were given free reigns to go explore St. Louis. I went with those of my singles branch to the St. Louis Zoo. It was smaller than I had expected and it was super hot and muggy outside, but it was fun going around with the other singles. Especially as I got to know those I was hanging out with better. Especially a few of the guys who will remain unnamed. ;) When we were done with the Zoo (which was later than we had wanted), we headed back to the hotel to get ready for the dinner and dance that evening. Getting ready too much longer than we had expected. We arrived at the church for the last 10 minutes of dinner.
The dance was awesome, fun, amazing, energetic, and crazy! Symber (that's one of the girls was with) started a contest between the girls to see who could get the most slow dances. Who do you think got the least? lol That's right! I got 3 slow dances. XD Yay for winning in golf scores! But I got to dance with one of the guys that I'm beginning to really like so it was all good. I should have worn heels though. He's a good foot taller than I am, at least! A few inches would have helped!
Got back to the hotel once the dance was done and went to bed at 1:00am. Woke up at 6:00am and were headed back home by 7:30. We arrived at the church around 12:00pm and I stayed there for church. I didn't get home until 6:00pm. So that's my crazy weekend! It was super fun and I wouldn't change anything we did (except for a few of the circles we ended going around in. lol). I would love to do another one and I hope it happens soon! I can only hope the next one is as fun as this one was!
