CIY: Adrian, MI
We left yesterday at around 11:15 for Adrian, MI, where the youth group is attending a CIY conference. We drove for 10 hours from Joplin northeast to Indianapolis, where we spent the night. We kept having to stop (4 or 5 times in all) to make sure the bus wasn’t breaking down… it’s a really old bus, and the oil pan has loose bolts that keep coming off. Every hundred miles or so, we stopped for a quick oil pan check. But everything was pretty uneventful yesterday. I played Hearts and Monopoly and worked on the Common Grounds website for Josh. And listened to a LOT of music… I love my Bose headphones! (Everyone else did too 
)
I shared a bed with Joey Garnett… he swore he “slept like a rock,” so I hoped for an uneventful night. We watched True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger until 1:00 in the morning :p I love watching those old blow-up-everything movies! But then came bedtime, and after shoving a sleeping Joey off of me twice in the first hour, I began to see that Joey was not the rock he claimed to be. By 3:00, I had awakened twice… on the floor. Joey thrashes. And Josh snores. I didn’t sleep much. But then, I had set my alarm for 5:45 to wake Joey (he can’t wake up by an alarm) and I told him to wake me up when he got out of the shower. Long story short, he didn’t, I overslept and got no breakfast and was cranky for a couple hours
