what to say

how do you describe 3 days of amazing grace? really though? how?
so, what i will try to do is do it through pictures ... where I saw Him and how I saw Him
if you want a complete birdseye view of How and where I saw Him, please go to my picture site:
http://kay.gbox.org

So here's where I saw Him this weekend: to my fearless other half, what would I have done without you? you were strong when I wasn't (which was all weekend) you were my shoulder to cry on (sorry about all of those ugly tears) you were the ear to vent to. you were Him in human form. i love you. i love all the experiences we went through to get here. i am glad that we were there side by side through it all. to my beautiful awesome vice, it is now your turn and i'll be right behind you. you know where to find me. basta.
to all of those that have led before us and to our future. fill in the missing links. from batch 29 on when franny was vice - to all of you ladies who have led before and to the ladies that will continue to lead, He shines through all of you.
to the 29 and under crowd: wow - look how we have grown! and look how bright our future looks! to all of you, we wouldn't be where we are now without your service and continued curiousity. keep coming back - it makes sense one day.
and to our 29 and over crowd - hehe. what can we say to all of you? you are the ones who continue to lead the way. no matter how hard you try to lay low into the background, you can't because we keep bugging you ... hehe. and you always answer us with laughs and smiles and KJ pouring through. we love you and appreciate your continued guidance - in all aspects of life.
spit out the seeds - there's a cute story about this that i forgot to share. so i was telling cel about reading the responsorial psalm during Mass. and I told her to extend her hand when it was our turn to respond and I extended it to show her. J'me was sitting next to her and she said "oh, like spit out the seeds! I knew there was a purpose to that exercise!" gotta love it.
to batch 33 - wow! it's done. amazing. we made it through - all 11 paxes, the vice and rec! it was tough - i think i just got my voice back on thursday. but, oh how He works. amazing. really, words cannot describe how I feel - even at this very moment. I love you all and basta kayo.
this threesome I can't get away from. through it all, you guys are there.. can you imagine four years ago we had just met and booked a trip to Hawaii together? talk about trust. and to this day, i can share all of me with you. i love you ladies.
ok really now. writing this down is even making me tear so I'll stop being so sappy...

to all of you,
and these fellas - look how cute they are !
and these young women (look at kathee's cameo - wow!) your hearts of service are amazing! you serve in so many communities and His love pours in your pores! your basta shines within you.
look at these gopez ladies - crying like they do. they're too cute. you can't blame it on the hormones anymore lovette! hehe. but to all these gopez women - now enrique, kim and soon-to-be-lombos, we love you!
to our batch genesis leader - we were doing welcome and welcoming all of our staffers. it got to dorothy and it was "batch teens" or "batch old" so when it got to pia "batch one" it was "the creation" and then "batch genesis" oh pia. to all the crosses that we may carry, both little and literal, we love you.
look - it's batch 27 - reunited! gracie, lovette (rec), arlene, cheryl, and audrey (vice rec). see, told you they keep coming back. i love you gals!
to our fearless leaders of batch 34 - cristina michelle and arlene mae! you smile now but the tears will come. just kidding. so just kidding. thank you for saying yes to Him. He works through you. it's like watching my kids grow up. how cute. let me know if you need anything besides being your public relations and i'll be there.
my daughter who spilled the pasta! wow - that was seven years ago! and look at us now! i am so excited for you! i love you my sweets!
look at these hams! just kidding. but really, look how we've grown. you guys/gals are truly amazing. muah!
33 - will never forget it!
look how the gopez family has grown - into the kims, enriques, lombos (and mike arceo) in the very center of it all
oh crissy, i can't get enough of our pictures together - can you tell?
this is how the gals looked for the chain - i don't think it was ever found - but thank you for your commitment to finding it. it really meant a lot.
on the stump. i look bucktoothed.
oh ladies. my heart talkers and their vice. where would we be without you?
this is the reaction that jay got from this ringtone from mike, mark and herman ...
NACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
this is anna, cheryl and gracie gagging right before their talks. they are tooooo cute. and too funny. i'm glad they didn't really need the bucket.
our new position - rec security. francia has the "intense eye" look. ok so it was 2 in the morning and we had to be up in two hours, so what? just kidding. thanks for putting us to bed.
we got to brusg our teeth together - see - i'm not foaming at the mouth yet. hehe.
jerome looks happy - what's he giving his seal of approval to?
i think this is the black curtain story. oh, pia pulled a reg and she's hiding her face from the story. i like the live version of the story. too funny.
this was our storytelling outside that made us stay awake for so long. blame lovette. it was her fault. but the stories were TOOOO funny. glad no one was eavesdropping.
and yes, here it is. i am done. can you tell i was excited to jump down? nice shot day! but i guess we're never done because He will continue to give us other assignments. but batch 33 is now in the books and i am now staff once again. i will continue to be the email girl though. i love that. i love the information. i loved the homilies that spoke right to the heart - 100% commitment and all the different roles that we play. learn to be it through all your different roles. i love how He works and incorporates everything so well. i love my Bubba. i loved his response. and i love the way i ended up talking about him and not even knowing that i would. i love KJ and i love all of you. basta kayo.
