First Day of Conference

     Friday July 17th: Got to Pennsylvania the night before where we spent the night playing Pictionary Telephone.  After I woke up I took a little tour of the campus where the Conference took place (Westminister College).  After we helped out at the church to prepare for Conference.  The Conference doesn't officially start until tomorrow at 3.  We then hung out at one of the buildings on campus called McKelvey.  This is where Jeremy noticed Walter (one of his childhood best friends from Conference).  Along with his family:  Eli, his brother, and Autumn his cousin.  Walter is super funny.  After being at McKelvey for awhile we decided to go to the church to see if anyone else had shown up early.  We ended up not seeing anyone so we just hung out in the church loft.  (Autumn, Jeremy, Eli, Walter, Andi, and her friend Sarah.) In the church loft Andi and Sarah made friendship bracelets while Jeremy played some of Steve's "Gangnam Style" mashups, and a song about sunscreen.  After we had, had dinner we decided to take a group nap in the lobby where Jeremy's mom was staying.  Jeremy played his U2 lullaby album as we all tried to fall asleep on one of the couches.  That was cut short though by another one of Jeremy's childhood friends Maddy who wanted to talk with us.  I still slept for a bit while they shared old Conference stories.  That night there was an Icecream social where Jeremy finally got his new iPod he had ordered the Tuesday before Conference had started.  The ice cream social was kind of disappointing because it was just Klondike bars.  Autumn and I were the first to get back to Ferguson Lobby after we were satisfied.  Ferguson is where I met a new friend.  A 4 year old named Sofia.

  She commented about how she was going to turn 19 next year so we'd be the same age. When Jeremy had been talking about stocks she had thought he had been talking about socks and shouted eww Stinky Stocks! We started off by playing hide-and-go-seek until there was literally no more places to hide, but she still wanted to keep playing, tag, putting together a puzzle and various other games.  Jeremy opened the box to his iPod during this time and figured out all of its cool features.

 I guess I had been put on babysitting duty for Sofia because her dad kind of left. :P She planned a tickle ambush on Jeremy after Walter and his family had left the lobby.  She would whisper to me about her plans to go and tickle him and then awkwardly tell Jeremy that we were just discussing his computer/hair/outfit etc.   After Sofia had went to bed, Jeremy showed me the cool features/games he had on his iPod and even showed a guy in the lobby one of the features.
