wow. Dave was right... the most homesick I have been all year is right now- right after spending an awesome weekend with my family. This free weekend home was a blast... but now I gotta go back to pcc... deal with people and classes... I have a research paper... and a bunch of other stuff... ahh.
anyways this weekend was amazing...
starting with friday (fridee) I buzzed through classes then Anthony Johnson brought us to the airport where we flew to charlotte then Pittsburgh... my fam came and got me and we had a great night just talking and watching some tv and stuff... it was around 11 so it was late... but we watched some Wonder Years and just laughed and had fun. I played some xbox with ben and it was grande.
we awoke yesterday and mom made a great breakfast... (bbbacon....)then I went up and talked to Pap. he is the man... ah. his war stories are amazing... I need to keep praying for him. hmm. then we met chris and his gang at this fun place where we played lazer tag and stuff... it was amazing... there was this tube thing for kids and a ball pit... so I ran around with Bryn and Claire and ben and chris in the tubes then ben and chris and I pelted eachother with the balls in the pit haha... it was great. left some welts. the lazer tag was soooo awesome. I wish we wouldda done more...
then we played some basketball in the front yard... well a short game of PIG and I won (indeed) ben and dad are fun to play games with, aw man. so that was funny.... then we left to see a passion play, not quite as good as the old one we used to watch but it was enjoyable... really got me in the mood for easter. ahh.
then we bolted over to Butler and watched Wild Hogs... it was really fun to watch it with ben and dad... fun movie overall, but just a great time in general. by this time it was so late so we got back and planned for church this morning then hit the hay.
This morning we went to church and had sunrise service... then went to Christy's diner place for breakfast where Butch and Mike argued about smoking and non tables (sigh) those guys are usually awesome... I never saw them act like that, but it wasnt a big deal and things worked out... my dad is a great peacemaker when things like that happen...
then I did sundayschool which was just an overview of my new testament class... it was fun then for the service my dad had me dress up like a guy that saw the crucifixion and stuff... it was enjoyable.
then we went home and had easter dinner with Chris and stacy and the girls... we recorded a song real fast and prettymuch as soon as we finished eating I had to leave... mom gave me some easter candy (ah man. shes awesome haha) which is hopefully not melting in my bag hmm... and then we left... I am not in charlotte and am going to be boarding to pensacola soon. dang I dont wanna go back to school... its ok and all but I just had suuuch an awesome time home. man... well it will make me more excited to go home for the summer...right...?....trying to be positive here...? haha
it was good. I am glad I went.
I have this weird feeling... like an aching... I think I am missing home a lot... thats a major part of it... or maybe I am dreading this paper i have to write... or I am just really really tired... or maybe I just want to be back in my warm house where I am loved and where I can just be.
or maybe its that sandwhich I just had that had too much honey mustard... hmm.
whatever it is, I think I need to just spend some time with Jesus on the plane... its been a long time since i visited the Island... ah man. I just want to be close to God where He is all I think about... all I want... and the only one I want to please.
*God, help me not carry any emotional baggage when I get back to school, help me to put a helmet on and finish well.
I need to be closer to you.... just bring me closer.
over all: I had a fantastic weekend... I have the greatest family in the whole-dang-world...
...maybe its because i have the greatest God in the whole-dang-universe.
I think thats it.
.....yep.. thats it.
