So let’s continue…
105. Writing Notes at Fall Retreat (Fall 2006)
So I have always been one for encouragement, so when on my first BCM Fall Retreat an activity was writing notes of encouragement to put in a paper sack for EVERYONE on the trip, I was all over it. Many of those magical hours were spent writing little love notes on colorful pieces of paper that were really pretty. It was also a great way to get to know some more names of folks who had just recently come to the BCM and were on the Retreat. Like this one guy that I met that weekend, some O’Daniel guy who was really loud and crazy…
104. Vanderbilt basketball road game (February 2007)
So Kentucky basketball used to be very bad, but not so bad that it caused me to run scissors through my head a la the days of Billy Gillispie. That actually never happened, but what did was a road trip with Robert, Eric Ringer and Brent White to Nashville to watch Tubby’s Cats dominate the Dores for the whole game but lose in the end. It was a sad day for us all, but a great experience watching the Cats play in a theater, more or less.
103. The Fountains (August 2008)
Shortly before our senior year began, a lot of us took a little trip downtown to play in the fountains in downtown Lexington. It was a marvelous time full of hope and wonder, and it produced many epic pictures as a result. You can check out Facebook for the details. In any case, there were some (cough, Robert, cough) who decided not to go because they don’t like water. Well they missed out on the glory. And there was something about Chris Hughes making fun of Amanda Tyree’s ghetto tank, but I digress…
102. Mother Nature Drops a Snow Bomb (March 2008)
Shortly before Spring Break during my junior year, Mother Nature decided to drop six inches of awesome snow right on Lexington. And it was wonderful! I remember driving out to Toyota On Nicholasville (where price sells cars) that Friday afternoon to pick up the minivans for Road Rules, and it began to snow on the way. And so it began, and for the next 24 hours, nothing could stand against the white death. Even Calvary’s Spring Break trip was delayed because of the mess. But I love snow, so it makes a memory for me.
101. Road Trip To Murray (January 2009)
Well Peggy Ray went to Costa Rica for a semester, so we all decided to crash a party for her (we were invited ps) in good old Western Kentucky. It was a tremendous group of people, and it resulted in many fine moments, from Peggy and Ellen singing “Womanizer,” to Chris Hughes and Gabe stealing Robert’s car to go buy alcohol in Tennessee, to Settlers of Catan, to the porn in the bathroom, to “if this is porn, kill me now,” to ping pong in the basement, and to everything else that happened…
