Some of the Minicas got to go to HQ and help put together name tags, family folders, & such yesterday. :) Courtney said "that made it seem so much more real." xD

NOT FAIR!!! I wish I lived in SA. xP jk

It did make it seem very real! My excitement level is skyrocketing! xD

Hannah: It's a HUGE waterpark. Swimming pools, slow rapids to ride down, etc. :) I didn't go in it last year because I didn't have time, but our hotel room overlooked it and it is giant.

gasps You didn't go in the waterpark last year?? :O but then again I shouldn't talk because I only had time to go in it once… :P

Neither did I! And I don't plan on it this year either. =P

Whaat? Why not?

Just no time! And I'm not that big of a fan of waterparks. :P That's not why I go to Nationals, you know. ;D

Zach: Like Matthew said; no time! :P Why would I want to go swimming if I could visit with people I rarely see? :P I might go this year; my siblings are begging me to go with them, but I only think I could do it the first evening I'm there, from the looks of my schedule. =P

Well you could always go swimming with people you rarely see! Besides, we need spectators when I dunk Marija and Cory! ;P

-_- when we dunk Marija and Cory…

Thanks guys! Is it warm enough to swim in? Because it's November… But then again, it is in Texas, which I'm assuming is way warmer than OH.

-_- when we dunk Marija and Cory...

Correction accepted. :D

Thanks guys! Is it warm enough to swim in? Because it's November... But then again, it is in Texas, which I'm assuming is way warmer than OH.

It was plenty warm enough last year even though their water heater was broken. So it ought to be fine.

Thanks! :D

@Zach - thank you. xP

Just don't run off on us this time, Gloria. xP

Not funny. :P don't worry, I won't.

K good. ;P And then after we dunk them we throw them down the new slides just for extra measure xP xP

Without rafts? Sure! Lol

rubs hands gleefully amid evil laughter xD

Hehehe. :P

To everyone who will be at Nats next week, have an amazing time!!! I miss you guys and I'm praying for you!

^^

Hello, Memverse friends. As many of you know, some of my family were planning on going to the Bible Bee Nationals this year. We'd been looking forward to seeing many of you guys again or for the first time. But all that changed last Tuesday, when America elected its next president, Donald Trump. After much consideration, our family has decided to cancel our plans and move to Israel. This will be very hard for us, and we'll miss all you guys. Hopefully we can stay in touch on Memverse. The reason we're doing this is because of the old hymn that says, "the Trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend." The end of the world is coming soon, and we know we'll be safe in God's land. …Happy November 14th, everyone! :P
[That is, or was, Trick Your Fellow Memverser Day.]

Literally LOL

Hahaha. I was suspicious, which is why I didn't comment. xP

Next time someone is on here… Could you enlighten me?

Rachel said that it was good if it was long, so I took her word for it. It's over 6,200 words long and has 60+ pictures.
