Good times indeed

The second half of my break was fantastic/wonderful. Tuesday night Sara B got in and I talked to Luke for quite a bit. We(Courtni, Dana, Erin, Nate, Sara B) played phase ten and chatted and laughed that night. Wednesday afternoon I was over at the Holtz's helping Jeff get concrete poured. Three trucks worth of cement took several hours to do, but was a lot of fun. After dinner that night, Ray asked if we all wanted to go to Dairy Queen for ice cream, of course we said yes. We all piled into the van and headed to Dairy Queen. When we got there it was closed, so we decided to try Frozen D's, a local ice cream shop, it was open, so we all got out and had ice cream. It was wonderful, like one big family. I don't remember if we watched a movie that night or our not. Thursday we had breakfast in the morning then prepared for Thanksgiving dinner that afternoon at four. We watched a movie while waiting for food to cook. Dinner was a lot of fun with lots of laughing and a great time. Later Sara B, her Dad and I watched the Broncos play, they lost, so it wasn't a very good game. Friday was the best day by far. Sara B, her dad and I went shooting in the morning and then Sara B and I went riding for about two hours. We went riding in the wood first, so we had a fun time dodging branches and trees and riding up hill at the same time all while riding bareback. Adventure indeed. Then we just rode along the road for quite awhile, chatting a little but mostly just enjoying the sun and beautiful weather and scenery. We talked a lot on the way back. When we got back we watched the Arkansas vs LSU game with her dad, it also was not a very good because Arkansas lost. After the game we watched AFV and it had to be one of the best episodes ever. We were dieing of laughter, I had forgoting how much I enjoying hearing Sara B' laugh. We had a quick dinner before Nate, Sara B, her dad and I went to go watch the Harding Academy football game, it was a quarterfinal game and they are undefeated this season. It was a good game and HA dominated the other team. Over all a really good day. Today Ray, Sara B's dad, and I made breakfast for everyone, I made pancakes of course, Ray cooked eggs and got the table all setup and I cut up some fruit. It was really nice and the girls really liked it. Sara B left a little while ago, so I am a little sad and but will get to see her again in three weeks. All ready looking forward to it. Hopefully the weeks will go by fast. ~Semper Fi

Life is good

Since my last post things have improved and I am on Thanksgiving break till Monday. I have been doing a lot of programming, getting the sound system for our softdev project ready and fixing a couple of things in the network code. Both are nearly complete and the user interface is looking good. It is all finally coming together and I think we have a really good chance at beating the other two teams. Sara B gets in tonight for her break, so she will be here till Saturday and I am really looking forward to seeing and spending time with her. That is all for now. ~Semper Fi

Under Siege

Well the week started great then I came under siege from the Evil One big time on Friday. It started of with me not sleeping but a few good hours that night and I had to get up for class in the morning. When I got to school Friday morning I found out class was canceled, which ticked me off. Then I was just in a really grumpy mood the rest of the day and it kept getting worse till I finally just went to bed because I was in such a bad mood. So this afternoon I got somethings and went out in to the woods and found a nice little spot out there to build a small fire and I spent the next several hours in communion with God. Just talking to him and reading. I feel a whole lot better now. Pray for me as I am on the front lines and it seems I will be here for a while. Pray strength and fearlessness, my the Lord protect me and be my strength. ~Semper Fi

Really good week so far

On Monday we had our second AI tournament for softdev and we totally dominated the other two teams. We barely lost one game to team one and won all the rest, a happy day for the team. I have been working on sound programming now since networking is pretty much finished. My console version of the game can make sounds now, its pretty neat. The Seahawks also won on Monday night, so that was a nice bonus. Sunday I didn't do to much, other than homework and programming. Saturday night was a ton of fun. Ryan's sister's club had a retreat here at the house and they played capture the flag at about 11pm and invited Ryan and I to play with them. We both had a ton of fun playing with them and my team won :) hehe. I also did a lot of programming in the morning as well. Friday was nice here at the house since I was the only one there and it was all nice and quiet, a very rare thing. Sara B had her first collage basketball game. I really wish I could have been there to see her play. I miss getting to watch her play, especially since I went to all but one or two of her games last year. Tonight I went on a walk with Erin and had really good talk with her. I got a test in calc this Friday but so far it looks like it should be pretty easy, so pray that I do well on it. Anyway that is all for now. ~Semper Fi
