Youth Culture
What is youth culture really? Is there really such a thing as youth culture? I have been thinking about this and have come to the conculsion that youth culture cannot be defined. I mean how would you really define such an phenomea? Youth are so different in every city and town and even within those places you have emos adn skaters, jocks and band geeks, is there really any real tie that holds all youth together? Is there anything that really defines "youth culture"? What do you think? Am I way off?

Craziness
There has been alot of craziness in my life over the last week or so. It feels like I haven't stopped to rest, take things in and look around for a while now. I haven't even had time to process life, yet I know that all that has happened over the past week or so has been awesome. Here is a little recap of what has happened.
- Last week we took 6 students on a three day road trip to Redding, California in search of In and Out Burgers. It was an awesome time of bonding. I will share more about this trip and pictures soon.
- We got back on Tues night from California and I moved on Wed. I am finally in my house and out of the trailer. It seems so big compared to the trailer for the past 5 months. It is really nice, but such a mess with boxes everywhere. It is funny though I have been without my stuff for so long I forgot what I had and have realized that I really don't even need most of it. I am in the search for a couch and kitchen table right now...I will have pictures of my house soon, also.
- Friday I left for a weekend kayak training trip on the Methow River in Eastern, Washington. It was a great trip...I made it through class 4 rapids without taking a swim. I actually didn't swim at all. It was pretty cold, so I am glad about that. I am super sore and sunburned though. (It seems that when your body hasn't seen sun in a long time you burn even easier than normal.)It really was a great trip and the people were a ton of fun. I think that I really like kayaking...I could do without the 12 layers of neoprene though. I'll have pictures of this soon, also.
Needless to say, it has been a crazy week and I am ready to rest, but everything that has happened has been good. I have been learning alot and am super excited about what is happening here in Arlington. The rest of the month is going to be just as crazy with training the next two weekends and the Core at the end of the month. I am excited though, I see God really working right now in everything that is happening, students are being effected and relationships that are being created are awesome. It is funny that even in the midst of all this craziness I feel a sense of complete peace. I know that this is where I am supposed to be right now and that feeling is so amazing.
