Wow! yay for saturday! but what an amazing past 10 days! I was so homesick, it was great to go home and spend time with my family and celebrate Easter together. In a big family, it's hard to get one on one time with each other, but Kyle and I got to wash a toilet together, and Kevin and i drove the gator across the highway to a bamboo forrest to cut some bamboo with a hack saw. Oh man was it fun stuff. Ashley was gone to Virginia to play a basketball tournament in front of top notch coaches like pat summit and andy landers. I have a wonderful family. Yeah we fuss and fight over stupid stuff, but the love is constant. And i have the best roommate ever! thank God for twin sisters! We are slowly becoming best friends, which is what we have both secretly wanted for years (we discovered this last year). communication works wonders :).
This past week was crazy. We had dessert theater rehearsal everyday. There were times that people doubted it would come together, but God really showed His stuff last night. The audience was engaged, there were no crises (except when our leader wacked a lady with a chair) but no ambulance was needed, so we can laugh about it. The community created this week among those involved in the play was priceless. I wouldn't have traded it for a 100 on my Islam test any day.
Dawn and I had discipleship on Wednesday. That was the turning point of my week. I had been frustrated to the point of wanting to scream, and well, when we met, we both had that flustered look, so before we said a single negative word, we walked around the pond and prayed praise to God together, saying what all we were thankful for. That was definitely what was needed for both of us.
I got to see Shari Cox, some dearly loved graduates (EA, Chris, Kat, and Amy Joe), and the Cox adults. As well as my family, including my grandparents. My granddaddy wore this funny french hat because he said he wanted to add some life to the party. He is hilarious. I'm so thankful to have my funny loving healthy Granddaddy back. I didn't think i ever would.
I was supposed to babysit today, by driving a girl downtown for a rehearsal, but it got canceled because of the rain. I've never driven downtown, so it was gonna be a challenge, but i was ready. anyway, kristen and laura went to my house, and kristen left me a wal-mart list. so i went to wal-mart, also a place i've never driven to before. So, the whole trip i definitely had to read signs, i made mistakes going and coming, i called Kristen once when i was almost out of TR, but i made it. that was a big step for me. and so i'm thankful for getting semi-lost. Steps to being independent. I'm told that is what college is for.
