On Saturday, my family drove up to Valpo for Cousin Sarah's confirmation. We arrived shortly before dinner, and immediately began playing football across the street. After several epic touchdowns and interceptions, we headed back to Grandma's for dinner.
After tooling around on Aaron's new iPad, the older cousins walked to a nearby McDonald's for ice cream and pop. We then headed to Sarah's house, where Mike showed us Mexican rap music videos and Marine Recon Commercials (he intends on joining the Corps after high school).
The girls (Sarah, Ella, and myself) stayed behind, while the others walked back to Grandma's. Ella and I watched Airplane on TNT while Sarah showered. Afterward, we relocated to Sarah's room and straightened her hair. It took two straighteners to eradicate her stubborn curls, and once she was satisfied, Aunt Heidi drove Ella and I to the Klett's, where we spent the night.
We woke to a breakfast of Frosted Flakes and Honey Smacks, and after dressing in our Sunday best, we headed to Immanuel.
My mom, as Sarah's godmother, participated in the Confirmation Ceremony, placing her hand on Sarah's shoulders during her blessing, along with Sarah's parents.
After the long service, we changed into more comfortable clothes, and proceeded to the cafeteria. We set up a TV and, during our delicious, catered lunch, watched NFL. Tragically, we missed the Green Bay game, but Danny provided coverage from his laptop.
After devouring cake and admiring Sarah's Confirmation gifts, we shot hoops in the gym. Eventually, we formed teams, and after a spectacular, intense game, the Fort Wayne crew headed home.
Congratulations, Sarah!
