One of Aliza's dreams came true! She was on staff at camp for two weekends of youth group winter retreat called Reboot. It was the first time she drove 3 hours alone and the first time she drove over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge alone--which is a milestone for moms around here. I really wasn't worried, but I was aware that my girl was on the road. The second weekend required driving home in snow. Camp closed early and she was on the road and out of the snow before much had accumulated.
The second weekend Aliza was on staff the youth group from our church went. Aliza wasn't with our church, but she got to see Josiah and Anna and hang out with them a little bit.
The main event was a MarioCart race between the churches where each group chose a character, decorated the cart and then selected a "driver" and a "runner" to race.
Our youth group chose Bowser. Aliza got to see how different youth groups worked together and she got choked up telling me how proud she was of our church because there was no hesitation to participate, no bickering and EVERYONE had a role and participated.
To top it off, our church won! The youngest boy in youth group was the rider/driver and got to stand on the top of the podium and hold the trophy. I know everyone was invested in this win because Josiah came home with a raspy voice that he told me was from screaming during the race.
It was a very quiet weekend here at home just me, Jeremy and Isaiah. We did Isaiah's favorite--bought supper and ate it on the couch while watching a movie. Saturday afternoon he got to play Roblox games with a couple guys from church that he LOVES playing with and Saturday evening Isaiah and I watched a movie together while Jeremy watched a very exciting Washington Commanders game.
