We just had our final CAB function and well, basically, I'm so sad. The event in and of itself was amazing and random and crazy times, but it's really quite sad for me to see this time come to an end. But, before I start on all my sappiness, I have to share what entailed in our last outing.
It's been absolutely frigid out today -- rumor had it that it even sputtered snow a few times during the course of the day. But, that didn't stop CAB from having one last crazy fling. We all met at the office and carpooled over to Chief's house for dinner and such. We all reminisced about the last time we were there, which was back in August after we had spent 4 days in MI and Chicago, working with Habitat for Humanity and then touring the Navy Pier. We thought we were friends back then ... oh man, how little we really did know each other! But, after dinner we loaded up to head to the golf course. Yah, you heard that right. We went golfing. Golfing. I've never been golfing before. I love going to play putt-putt, but never have been on a real course. It was a blast. Despite of the freezing temperatures and the sputtering rain drops, we had so much fun. Naturally, Jeff's group (the Amazing Leadership Board) kicked some major butt and killed the other two groups!! I was quite proud of us, even though Krumbs and I both lost balls in the lake! We laughed and made so much fun of each other and simply had a glorious time. Only CAB would go golfing as their last outing. We do the darndest things sometimes. We finished the evening at Young's Dairy Farm and got our picture cd's from Buczek.
I love that group of people. I can remember crabbing to an unnamed individual about how much I didn't want to go on our retreat at the beginning of this year and this unnamed person telling me to just buck it up and go -- I would make friends with these kids. How right this person was. I love everyone on that group.
As I look back on this year, and remember certain events and times of complete hell, CAB was something that pulled me out of terrible times and helped me get through tough times. The people that are on CAB are encouraging, fun-loving, and many of them are so incredibly serious about life. I've loved the fun that's been had, but also the deep discussions and events and miscellaneous activities. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't been on CAB this year. The retreat is and was a highlight of my year -- who would've known last August that I would be saying that this May. The friendships I have made will go on for a long time, I'm certain of that fact. They have loved me when I wasn't very lovable. They have prayed for me and held my hand through some hard times. Being on CAB this year forced me to stay involved and to not retreat into my depressive moments. It made me laugh and have fun. People made me laugh -- hard.
I will never forget it. I will always look back on this organization with fond memories. Thank you, CAB. Thank you for a marvelous year. I'm so glad we all got to be elitists together and to have the most Cedarville apparel than anyone else on campus. Go us!
So to all the CAB'ers: Krumbs, Hermiz, Abigail, Jason, Standish, Mel, Philip, Marky-Mark, Windom, Don, Andrea J, Hamilton, Zimms, Rachel, Andrea W, Abby, Emily, Matt, Trev, Kate and Steve -- You all will always be my favorites. You, individually and as a whole, have made my senior year. Thank you.
The Leadership Board -- hotness all around

Very touching tribute! And, Megan, you give me courage to try golf again. I did once and I was TERRIBLE. But who knows? Maybe I should give it another shot.
