End of break is at hand.

Today Sarah and I went riding again and this time we went for about two hours, doing some trotting, cantering, and near galloping myself. It was lots of fun and felt really great. Though I am ready to get back to school now and finish up. It has been a very relaxing and restful week. I will be praying for safe travels. I have taken a few pictures that I will be posting on my pictures site: http://jrommann.zoto.com for those that don't know about it yet. It's late, I am tired, to bed I go. ~Semper Fi

Thanksgiving

I am really tired so I am going to keep this short. Before the Thanksgiving dinner Sarah and I went riding for a little bit, it was a beautiful day, and man did it feel good to be on a horse again. Around one was Thanksgiving dinner and a lot of Sarah's family was here, so I met them. I ate so much food that I didn't get hungry till around eight tonight. I watched some football but mostly just played NS all day. Around ten tonight Sarah, Abraham and I went running, first time in a long while for both Abe and I, but we ran about a mile and half and my legs are already getting sore. Going to have to do a lot of stretching. Wednesday the three of us went out to eat and then went to the mail and hung out there for a bit. I think that is about it for now. I will post again tomorrow most likely. Thank the Lord for all the things he has given you. ~Semper Fi

Mmmmm break

Break has been going good. Getting lots of sleeping and relaxation. Here is what I have done so far: Saturday and today I helped paint the rec room in Sarah's bar, probably breathed to many fumes today. Also today I met Sarah's maw(grandma) , she is a big fan of Taco Bell instant connection for the win hehe, we chatted for a bit and then she Sarah money to take us out to Taco Bell for lunch. Sunday went to church and then after the night service we went and saw the new Harry Potter movie, it was good. Besides sleep and gaming a lot that's it.

On a more serious note the dark one was really after me today, I am not sure why but he hasn't hit me in a long while, but I didn't succumb to the temptation, it was close a couple of times but I made it through. Thank the LORD for providing protection and the strength. Pray continually for strength, guidance and wisdom as I do. ~Semper Fi

Thanksgiving Break

Made it to Sarah's house safe and sound. I will write about what fun stuff I do as the week goes on. We will be going to see the new Harry Potter movie tomorrow and I think that is all that is planned atm. I will be praying for those that still have to travel tomorrow. ~Semper Fi

FOG for the Win

Tonight we had our first real meeting, even if it was a short one, it was a good one. We just shared some of our favorite verses and chatted about them. It was really encouraging and got me pumped up and in a really good mood. I look forward to our next meeting.

What I did last weekend. Friday the 4th we had a shrimp cook out at Allan's house. Lindsay cooked the shrimp cajun style and man was that the best shrimp ever. I ate a ton of it and it didn't make me feel sick at all, like most shrimp does. After the eating frenzy was over we had a short devo, which was pretty good.

Saturday 5th, Several of us ended up making breakfast and then we just chilled out till it was time to go and see the new Zorro movie. It was alright but it turned out to be more comedy then serious, so I was a little disappointed. After the movie we came back and hung out for a bit.

Sunday 6th, I had lunch with Luke's family since they where in town at La Finc, a good mexican place. After that nothing notable happened.

God is good. ~Semper Fi

I know I have been slacking

I know it has been a long time since my last post but I have been pretty busy and then to tired to write anything. Quite a lot has happened since my last post so I will start with today and go backwards.

Today, Sunday the 13th, I got to go and see the Marine band play in the Benson with Luke and Emily, it was really cool and the where very good. At the end they played all the armed forces songs and had the people stand up if you had served or a family member had served. I got to thinking afterwards that I could have stood for all but the Cost Guard and that's kind of scary. I have two cousins in the military right now one is an Apache pilot and the other is in the Navy. After that I helped the Montgomerys move some of their stuff from their old garage to their new one. When that was finished it was time for Jess' birthday party. We played one of those How to Host a Murder games. It was fun but really strange and crude at times. After that I helped clean up and was washing dishes, just like at camp and having a nice chat with Bethany in the process. After the dishes where done Holly showed up in the kitchen, so her and I had a good chat as well and now I am here writing this post before I go to bed.

Saturday the 12th, I got up and had breakfast as usual. Then Jeff needed some help cutting down a tree so I went with him to help with that. It took about four hours to get it down and all cleaned up. Enjoyable it was. That night a huge group of 22 people went up, half the resturant was reserved, to Georgetown for catfish. It was the best tasting catfish I have had. I inhaled my plate and didn't even feel full, it was nice. We came back and a few of us sat and just chatted for bit. Then I with Luke and Emily watched I, Robot, it was really good. After that I went to kitchen and chatted with Branson, Bethany, Sara and Lindsay for bit before calling it a night.

Friday the 11th was a long day. Had CS seminar at 7:05 am and then I learned my only class for the day was canceled so after seminar I was done. I went to breakfast after seminar as usual, then to chapel. After chapel, Alycia and I went to the library to do some homework, but after about 30 mins of reading I couldn't keep my eyes open so I pulled my hat over my eyes and took a nice nap till about 11:45 when my alarm went off for lunch, I was meeting Erin for lunch and I wanted to get to the Student Center early for a table. Had lunch with Erin and Luke, we had a good talk too. After that I went to the CS lab to work on my GUI project till Luke was done with school. Got back from school and did yardwork till about 5pm and then got cleaned up and ate dinner before we left to go see The Brothers Grim, it was a strange and slightly creepy at times, but over all a good movie. Guin and I had good time talking about games on the way to and fro. When we had dropped everyone off and had gotten back, around 10:15pm, Luke and I where both really tired so we went to bed, the earliest we had gone to bed all week and it was a Friday night, go figure.

Any way I am getting tired and I have to get up at 6:45 tomorrow so I am going to bed. Tomorrow I will right about what I did last weekend, at least what I can remember. May God guide, guard and direct your hearts. ~Semper Fi

Peacefulness

Tonight I sat outside and watched a beautiful thunder storm come through. I did some thinking and had some qtime with myself and God, it was wonderfully peaceful and comforting. I have had a lot on my mind, mostly girl related, but I don't want to share it with everyone, so I am not going to write about. Just pray that God will provide an answer. I still find it amazing that no matter what is going on around me or even within me I can still be at peace and remain unworried about life, because I know God will take care of me and he has provided everything I have needed, especially this semester, it is amazing. I never worry about money, food or any other kind of material need, because every time I have needed something, he has provide a means for me to get it.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition, along with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." ~Phil 4:6-7

May you come to know this peace from God. ~Semper Fi
