Nashville :)

This weekend, I went to Nashville for a church trip. We went for a girl's leadership conference and to hang out with our intern from a few years ago, Jenna. We had to leave at 7:10, so of course, beauty queen that I am, I was up at 5:30. I got to the church at six (I had to ride with my dad to his Bible study) and everyone else got there around 7. On the way there, I rode with Courtney, Molly, Lauren, P, and Meghan. We had alot of fun on the way there. We fist pumped to the Biebinator and slept. How much better can it get? :)

When we got to the conference, we had to enter our names in a raffle, and we also got cute bags with lots of fun stuff in them. Even a new Bible! When we got in the conference room, we worshipped and talked for a few minutes. Then it was time for our first breakout! Breakouts were my favorite part! A breakout is a small Bible study that lasts for about an hour. Every breakout time, you had 3 to choose from. 

The first one I went to was called BFF 4 EVER?- it was about being able to tell if you had good or bad friendships. The next one I went to was called Let's Talk. It was about helping your friends with their problems even when you don't relate to them.




That night, we went to Panera Bread (so good!!). We saw a dessert that looked like a good example of Hannah. It was called the bear claw.




After that, we went back to the conference for closing, and then to Maggie Moo's.


(thanks to Rach for this AWESOME picture!)

And that night, my room had SO much fun before we went to sleep. We stayed pretty late listening to Justin Bieber, and of course we went old school and listened to some Brick House.


The next morning, we went to Starbucks and then back to the conference. My next breakout was called Taming the Media Monster. It was about learning to see TV from God's eyes.
The next breakout I went to was called Glamour Girl and it was taught by a group called Rave ministries. It was about self image, and I REALLY liked it. They were so nice, and they sold me a super cute shirt!! Here is their website, you seriously should check it out. http://www.raveministries.org/ They have cute stuff to buy too. :)

That night, we went to the mall. While we were shopping, Jessye saw something amazing. TAYLOR SWIFT WALKING INTO THE APPLE STORE. We walked in, and saw her standing there. A man with her told us to form a line, and while we did, he rushed her out of the store. As she was walking out, she turned around and waved at us. We all screamed!! We tried to follow her out of the store, but the mall security guard told us to "disperse, or we would scare away our guest." We think she left after that, but we still looked everywhere for her. While we kept shopping, all of the mall security guards followed us around!! After a while, we went to my personal favorite store, Juicy Couture.
