Last Friday was exhausting, but fun! I ran from work right to my friend Sara's house to help her set up the boundaries at a park near her house for the games of Capture the Flag we were going to attempt to play with the Advent Lutheran Young Adults Group (YAK). We ended up playing about 5 games with my team sadly only winning one (the last one which was only because we traded one of the less sporty guys for one of the guys from the other team). I had a lot of fun running around and playing, but discovered just how bad of shape I'm in. I have always been one of the 'give it all you got and run straight for the flag' types and so that is exactly what I did on our last game. I ran with all my might and leapt up the playground's large steps, I grabbed the flag and rushed down and towards my camp. Strangely once I left the confines of the playground my legs refused to run anymore. I just couldn't do it. Thank goodness the sportier guy was waiting near by and ran over to me to grab the flag and take it safely back to our side. Score! I grinned and then plopped on the ground practically hyperventilating. After that last game we all went back to Sara's house for dinner. Andrew ordered pizza and since it was going to be a few minutes we played a game of spoons (very dangerous idea with mostly guys in the crowd). Thankfully the pizza arrived before the guys became too rowdy. We ate pizza and chatted and then I rushed off to Safeway to pick up a pumpkin for Danaya's pumpkin carving party! By the time I arrived Stephanie and Laura were pretty much already done their pumpkins, but Danaya still had a ways to go creating her sweet replica of the death star! I ended up carving evil Homer (as seen above) and finished around 11:30pm. All of the pumpkins turned out great and the snacks were so good, but I was definitely happy to see my bed by the time I got home!
