the old black burb

no, the title of this post is not a typo. this is what I will be driving this coming week for the spring break mission trip I am leading. why is this a big deal? 1. because it clearly is the coolest vehicle going on the trip. 2. my whole 8th grade cell group will fit in it. 3. I have to tow a trailer behind it. **insert wide-eyed emoji here** 4. did I mention there will be a trailer in tow behind this thing??? 5. the front seat is a bench seat. yes, my cool factor just went WAY up.

a little about the trip: there are 174 people going (leaders included) on this 8th & 9th grade mission trip **translation: no sleep, crazed little peoples, & sassy pants all week**. we are going to Memphis to partner with Memphis Athletic Ministries in their gyms for the week. this is our 5th or 6th year going and is by far my fav trip we go on! for a lot of these kids, it's their first out-of-comfort-zone trip they go on. it is so fun to watch them grow over the week that we are there and then for a while after they get back!

we are leaving today & won't be back for another week. things you can look forward to when we get back: great pictures, great stories, & great memories. see ya in a week!
