Bowling and Youth Group

Tuesday evening, I went bowling with my LW group and had a blast!!! I will start from the beginning.
Well my mom drove me and Allie and Jackie to Livie's house and we left at around 6:18 so we were only a couple minutes behind schedule. Well we would've been right on time if we weren't behind this lady who was going only 20MPH on a 45MPH rode! It was insane how slow and we can only think she was texting or something (bad driving skills are likely too).
We did finally arrive at Olivia's and after chatting with the rest of the girls, we took off for the bowling alley!
Well when we all packed into the huge 15 seat van, Olivia noticed her battery was dead in her camera so she ran inside twice to get new batteries to find out that they didn't have any! So her mom drove to Kroger (fortunately it was close to the bowling alley) and we ALL went inside. So 7 girls, me, Allie, Jackie, Tiffany, Michelle, Olivia, and Nicole all ran out of the van into the Kroger entrance and we turned a few heads when all we picked up was a pack of AA batteries! LOL It was fun though. The cashier (a nice lady) asked us what we needed batteries for and we told her for taking pics at the bowling alley of course! : )
Well after that eventful trip, we finally arrived at the bowling alley to discover that there were no lanes open! Do not fear, there was another bowling place not too far up the road and they actually had open lanes! YEA!!
So we got two lanes since there are seven of us and we then had to figure how to break into two groups.
There are four blondes and three brunettes so we broke up by hair color! LOL It was so funny! Well on my team (I was in the blonde team BTW) we had Allie, Me, Jackie and Olivia and on the brunette team was Michelle, Nicole and Tiffany. I was so excited because on my first turn, I got a STRIKE! Oh yeah! I was feeling pretty good! : )
Of course we all cheered everyone on and we turned a few heads our way because we were kinda loud but we were having a good time together!
Here are the scores for the first game.
BLONDE TEAM:
Allie - 56
Me - 79 with 2 strikes and 1 spare
Jackie - 65 with 1 strike
Olivia - 54
Total score together - 254

BRUNETTE TEAM:
Michelle - 58 (not sure of spares but no strikes) : (
Nicole - 41 (not sure of spares but no strikes) : (
Tiffany - 67 with 2 strikes
Total score together - 176

The second game almost everyone did better! I think we were finally getting the hang of things! : ) The most incredible thing was again in the second game, my first turn, I got another STRIKE! I was shocked! Talk about God's blessings that was definitely one because I am normally just OK at bowling. Anyways, here are the second game scores.
BLONDE TEAM:
Allie - 51
Me - 91 with 2 strikes and 3 spares
Jackie - 58 (I am pretty sure she got about 1 or 2 spares and 1 strike in the end)
Olivia - 80 with 1 spare
Total score together - 280

BRUNETTE TEAM:
Michelle - 42 with 1 spare
Nicole - 62 with I think 1 spare... maybe 2... sorry Nicole but I can't remember! LOL
Tiffany - 83 with 3 strikes! Way to go Tiffany!
Total score together - 187

So the games totals for each team were not fair because the blonde team had an extra player but we all had lots of fun. Oh and Olivia's mom was so nice! She bought each of us a can of whatever soda we wanted. I had Pepsi and I actually am keeping the can as a trophy! No JK! I will probably throw it out or recycle it next week.

Yesterday, my friend Katelyn came over and we watched Monk and Psych together while knitting. My mom made homemade pizza so Katelyn stayed for dinner because like everybody likes pizza! : ) After dinner, we went to her youth group at her church. We played a crazy game call SWAT IT! The game goes like this:
one person is it and stands in the middle of a bunch of people sitting in chairs. Everyone introduces themselves by their first name. Then the person it calls out one name, anyone's name, and goes to hit them on the knee with the newspaper. To avoid getting hit, you have to shout out another persons name before the person who is it can hit your knee! It goes on and on and if someone forgets to shout out a name before the person hits their knee, they are then it! It was a insane and crazy game but actually lots of fun! Well that is all for now. I will tell ya more later!

Until next post,
