"A Family that laughs together stays together."

I love laughter so very much. When I went to Christian Leadership Institute over the summer thats just about all we did in our free time. Their were 20 of us and we were each divided into 4 groups of 5 and we were also assigned 2 group leaders. We had the best time EVER, in my entire life I have never laughed that hard. One of the first things was that I had missplaced my Bible and I had a conversation with myself about where I could have put it, this was an out loud conversation, and Kelsey (one of the members of our small group) started laughing and then Lear started laughing, and then we all starting laughing. Another instance was we planned alot of the activities we did that week, and there is a box with all kinds of supplies, we were looking through it and we found a sign the said, "Happy Birthday Lee Ann" on it, and I don't remember why but we laughed so much about it, then we found another one with, "Blow out your candles Katie" and that was the icing an the cake. We also played a number game when you count to 100 and you substitute animals names or sounds for selected numbers, which for us was two, five, and seven; well one of the animal sounds we did was bug and then you stick your tongue out, we said that throughout the entire weekend and it sort of became our battle cry. And the funny thing is that we still say bug anytime we see each other, and I even say it when I am alone and it always gets a kick out of me. One thing that I learned through all the laughing was that I can actually be really funny, whcih boosted my self-confidence alot. I think laughter is definetly the best medicine for almost everything.
