Because I lost my sense of wonder

Today was pretty high up there on my scale of stellar days.
Work may have benn just... work... but it was the first day that I've gone and not wanted to vomit everywhere everytime I paused to think of the possibility of messing up. The day actually went really well and I'm learning things slowly but surely. I always have fun with the people there, and I'm not quite sure what I'll do when some of them wont be joining me on my new shift next month, like Laura, DavRo and Jase. (but I'll still have Kim and Richard!)
Afterwork was youth group. Not just ANY youthgroup, though. It was our VERY last youth group with Shawn as our youth pastor. He's officially finito on the 4th. There were no tears today, probably because we didn't try to think about it too much. At one point Shawn may or may not have chased Josh Reno, grabbed the Salvation Army flag from off the stage, and used it as a spear... then missed, and accidentally stabbed a hole in the wall of the sanctuary... maybe.
(But if anyone asks, it was Tim Latour).
Also, the dishwasher may have caught on fire.
We're still not quite sure how that happened.
It was a pretty interesting evening, but really how could Shawn NOT leave with a bang?
After all that wrapped up, Michelle, Mike, Tyler, Timmy and I drove off to McDonalds.... and into a roadblock.
Michelle actually almost threw up on the guy (she was a liiiittle over the 'N' 1 person limit) but he just let us go after asking us where we were coming from and we said youth group. (Also, when she opened the glove compartment to get her insurance, a bible fell out).
We basically just spent almost 2 hours sitting in Mcdonalds laughing a lot and Mike begging me to buy him stuff.
So even though nothing super spectacular happened, and I'm still a little heartbroken when I think of the changes coming up in our youth group, today was pretty rad.
I'm just really thankful for all the people in my life, I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.
