Blessaway has finally come and gone. This is GTC's final retreat before we all graduate. Everyone goes to Ocean Shores and stays at the Canterbury Inn which is amazing. Tradition has it that every year we rent mopeds and drive around on the beach and have a huge barbeque at which we feast on kabobs. I love it. Mopeds are one of the coolest things ever invented. Except that mine kept randomly dying on me and the blinkers and speedometer didn't work. But hey, I still had fun! Carissa crashed into a grassy ditch while trying to turn around. That was pretty funny to watch, she was alright after she got out. The kabobs are some of the finest in all of Ocean Shores. They're packed with steak, chicken, pineapple, onions, peppers, and mushrooms and grilled to perfection by our very own Ryan Bates. Yummy in my tummy! On one of the nights, the first year students make a presentation to the second year interns to bless them for all their hard work. This class gave one of the best gifts ever, a handmade book with a blessing from each of the students in it. We also blessed Pastor Bill and Miss Becca as well as Lindsey since this is her last year with GTC. And no blessaway is complete with out playing a game of mafia, it's usually fun except that I am always a townie and no one ever believes me. We also play other random games like dominoes or some card games. Everyone had a fun time relaxing and just blessing each other before we all graduate. On our way home we stopped at Dairy Queen and took our 15 passenger van (affectionately called Marsha) through the drive through and got ice cream for everyone. Tonight is the graduation banquet so I need to go dry my hair!
