Rockford, WA Population: 500 (our Friday night)

So Josh is our friend who volunteers with us at West Central and he was celebrating his 22nd birthday on Friday. Ebay and I decided to take part in the celebration along with many other West Central volunteers and friends. Little did we know that we would be heading to Rockford, WA for a wondrous evening at the Harvest Moon bar...
Located 45 minutes from Spokane, Rockford has one street light, two bars and lots and lots of tractors. We walked into Frednecks bar and even with our plaid shirts, cowboy hats and boots we were called "city slickers". Not feeling the vibe, we headed down the street to Harvest Moon where we felt more welcomed :)
Analisa and Ebay dancing to: Larger than Life By: Backstreet Boys

Before you knew it, the 10 of us were on the dance floor doing the hoedown and dancin country style. Marty, the dj allowed us to request any song we wanted. Let's just say we had quite the variety: MC Hammer, Michael Jackson, 50 Cent, Technine, Backstreet Boys (yes, Ebay and I performed our dance), Lady Gaga, ACDC...the list goes on. We danced from about 8:30 to midnight, had the country bar on it's feet and got some locals to join us on the dance floor. I even believe the girls made it on top of the bar when the song "Single Ladies" came on. This night turned into much more than we could have ever expected from a town like Rockford. Long lasting memories were made as well as 15 embarrassing videos recorded :)

The Sunday Night West Central Dinner Crew :) These people are AMAZING!

Saturday was amazing as well! Had a wonderful phone convo with mommy, went to a yoga class, carved pumpkins, made lots of yummy treats, watched Hocus Pocus and ate Burger King :) LifeCenter was great on Sunday and we talked about the famous question: If God is so good then why is the world so bad? I got some great perspective on this topic! Sunday afternoon was relaxing and then Sunday evening the West Central crew stayed in and made SUSHI :)

LOVE YOU ALL! Have a great week!
