This morning I got up and got ready to head to K.C. for the polar plunge. Mr. Mitchell assigned us that we either had to go to shoot several sports in one semester or shoot a big event so I asked to do the polar plunge. When I said big event I was thinking about how big the northeast plunge. Now don't get me wrong ours is big for our area size. Kansas City's polar plunge is huge. I got there 20 minutes till. There were already so many cars that they were using trolleys to shuttle people to the beach. I checked in at the media table when I got there. Diannah, Sheryl and Laurie were working so I talked to them then went to watch the plunge begin. I was not sure how I was going to get a picture but soon learned that media could go right next to the water so that is exactly were I went. I took my VIP spot lol and got all the photos I wanted. I found Amy who just finished the Super plunge-what a brave soul. There were 1,100 plungers (the estimate). Even though it was crowded, I was excited at the number of people raising money for SOMO. Ray Pec had a big crowd and plunged in honor of a student/athlete who died last week which was really inspiring. I found Kathy's group. They were all dressed as bears. After taking their pictures I left. I drove to Chris's. We watched the Ku/Iowa game for a little bit before the movie and Iowa State won hehe. I don't cheer for them but when it's against Ku I do. Mu won I would just like to add today. Some of our YAC members were even at that game spreading the word to end the word. We went and saw Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. It was good, I wasn't too sure what to think because there was so much to take in from the movie. It was really sad and I could not stop thinking about the victims who lost their lives at 9/11. Sandra Bullock says in the movie that she doesn't understand why some man choose to fly a plane into the twin towers and she doesn't understand why a man choose to kill her husband that he didn't even know. This made me think a lot because why do people do what they do? I am sorry if I am getting deep on here but seriously? Why do people abuse other people, why do bombings and killings happen,why does anything bad happen? It all leads back to when Adam and Eve ate from the tree and thank goodness we have a God that loves us enough to get us through all this and that bring the good into the situation. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sin so that we could join God in heaven one day where we will never have to worry about that. After the movie, Chris and I went and ate Winstead's which was good. I dropped him off and came back to the burg. I called my mom and dad on the way home and talked to them. Lacy is currently at the hospital but no baby yet. I made it back without getting lost or having any problems during my trip. To me this is my testimony because I prayed hard before I left that I wouldn't worry about my car, getting lost or any problems related and God guided me safely. Justin wanted to watch a movie at 8:30 so we met in his room but then decided we wanted to watch Courageous and I was really thirsty so he,Russ, Katie and I went to Burger king. When we got there, the registers weren't working so we waited for them to get fixed. Katie and Russ went and played on the play place (mind you we were the only people there). We waited around and they finally got them fixed. We got our 9 oclock snackage and then went to Family Video. We got Courageous and came back and watched it. It is such a good movie, not just for fathers but for everyone I think. It makes you think so much and the strength that God gave those men to hold to their resolution is incredible. If you haven't seen, you should go rent it. Now Katie and I are getting ready for bed so that we aren't too tired for church tomorrow. Really great Saturday. I am ready to get to see my family next weekend though.Good night!
