My weekend was full of special birthday surprises from my team and from my family. It was a weekend full of fun! Friday night we grilled out at the Overlean's house (a music pastor in the area that we've become good friends with) and played many entertaining games! They surprised me by knowing that it was my birthday weekend and bringing out the most amazing icecream cake!
On Saturday morning, the van was decorated by some of my team members with balloons, streamers, banners, confetti, presents, cards, and purple flowers EVERYWHERE!! The whole team was wearing purple, silver, black, or white. After eating Mcdonalds for lunch, we went to downtown Vegas and toured the Luxor Hotel, Mandalay Bay Resort, and the Excalibur Hotel. (When you can't spend any money, you tour hotels!) That night we did our sound check at Redrock Baptist Church, had more ice-cream cake and singing with our dinner,and then spent the night in our host homes. On Sunday, the pastor presented me with two dozen roses in honor of my birthday - thanks to a little phone call from my Mom! It was a wonderful weekend! Here are some pictures!
