You'll never guess what I'm wearing....

Tonight we had the first part of the Aggie for Christ Sadie Hawkins party. It was called "Once Upon a Time..." It was childhood dress-up time! There was Mario and Princess Peach, Cruella deVille and a dalmation, Bob Barker and a contestant, Ariel and Eric, and Tinker Bell and Peter Pan. My date, Wes, and I dressed up as Aladdin and Jasmine. Yup. I am dressed in a sea foam top and poofy pants. We packed a lunch (ok, ok, he packed a lunch) of sausage rolls, grapes, and chips, and I found ten minutes earlier today to pop some chocolate chip cookies in Sarah's oven (what would I do without her??) Everyone was supposed to pack a dinner "like mom used to" (I don't know....my daddy always packed my lunch...but hey, that's the Hock family, bustin' stereotypes since 1984). The get-together was fun, pictures in front of a golden-papered castle stuck to the wall, a life-sized game of trouble, remote control cars, and Disney's Robin Hood playing on the wall. Everyone's costumes were awesome, and we had fun, laughing and playing with each other's accessories (toy guns, bows and arrows, plastic swords, and the real machete that my crazy date brought!) After it was all said and done (Wes and I won 2nd place in the costume contest) we were sitting out in Wes's truck, waiting for it to warm up (it was freezing), when we got to checkin' out the tower over the church. It's pretty ornate, (compared to most every other church of Christ I've ever seen) with glass walls all around, and in the very top, a cross surrounded with bright lights. Quite a sight, especially at night. (hehe, read the end of the last sentence and the next one...they all rhyme!) Anyway, Wes told me that he heard that you could get to the very top of the tower through a door in the church. We smiled at each other, and decided to go adventuring. We found the door, climbed up five really narrow ladders, busted one of my sleeves, and finally made it to the top. The view was incredible. We talked about how God has a perspective that is so different from ours, how he doesn't wonder where all those taillights are retreating to, nor does he let his mind dwell on what people might be doing, he knows! We chatted and stared at the great expanse that spread below us, and then climbed all the way down and headed home. What a night, Disney princesses, sausage rolls, a game of trouble, and forbidden activities (tower-climbing). Pictures on the way of our Disney-inspired splendor. Oh, and the second night of Sadie Hawkins festivities is tomorrow...007 themed...any ideas on making myself a Bond lady?
