This weekend was great

I had such a great time this weekend. Sara B came in Thursday, which was somewhat of a surprise. Friday night Ray, Sara B and I went to a academy game, which brought back memories of going to Sara B's games with Bethany. Saturday was the best day for sure. Sara B and I went riding even though it was really winding and cold. The Jackson's oldest son, Rayel(spelling is probably wrong), went with us for awhile. First we went riding in the woods, which kept us out of the wind and pretty warm, after that we road around in the field doing some trotting and I was giving Rayel pointers on how to keep his seat better. After awhile Rayel got cold and went in. Sara switched to the pony Rayel was riding, because she wanted to go faster then a trot, she was on a pregnant horse. After a bit more of riding and Sara B getting run through tree branches by the stupid punk pony, she got battle wounds on her face but nothing serious. I finally got her to give Jake a try, he was getting tired because I had been galloping around moving pretty fast with him, so he was not as wired and rearing to go as normal. Sara B got on and I watched while I used the pony for an arm rest, she started off trotting and loping. She lost her hat a couple of times when she started going faster. She got to gallop back end forth several times and it was so neat to watcher and I was really happy she finally had a great experience going faster then a trot. She did almost get wiped out on her last trip across the field because she went under some pine trees, but she dodged and ducked and came out unscathed. I got worried for a sec when she went under, but was very glad she made it. We both got ridiculously sore from it and Sara B had to drive eight hours on Sunday, yesterday she said she could barley walk and I believe it. We both had so much fun, it was the highlight of the weekend. Saturday night Caleb and Lindsey came over and we played Catan, it was pretty fun. That's it for now. ~Semper Fi

Update

Not much really went on last week. I didn't have school because the teachers was gone, but he did give us take home tests. Thursday I painted one of the bathrooms and it only took about four hours to mask and paint it all. I think the fumes from the nasty oil based paint got to me and made me really tired for the rest of the week especially on Sunday. Saturday, Zach, Ray and I cut up some downed cedar for poles and post. That night we watched Braveheart and I had forgotten how much I love that movie. It was really good to watch it. Today the guys actually out numberer the girls at dinner and of course we had fun with that, lots of laughing. That pretty much sums up the weekend, lots of laughing, it was good. Anyway that's all for now. ~Semper Fi

Snow. Snow. Snow

Wednesday was a really good day. Class was fun because the teacher was showing us objects that could have a finite volume but infinite surface area, yeah wrap your head around that :) hehe anyway that was fun. Came back and spent about two hours preparing for leading group and while doing that I realized I was misplacing some expectations and needed to redirect them at God, which I am now doing and my mood has improved. Group went really good and had some good discussion. I am really glad Ray decided to have each of us take a turn at leading the group and we even have to sit in the "teachers spot". I know it is really going to put a few of the guys way outside their comfort zone, because I was a bit, but it will be good for them. Before Bible study was over it snowed and started getting icy and Erin and Allan got stuck on a hill, so Branson, Jeramey, Zach and I piled into the explorer and rode to the rescue. We almost got the explorer stuck on the hill but popped it into four wheel drive and backed out of or mess. That was our adventure for the night. Allan, Branson and Jeramey stayed the night and all classes got moved back two hours so we didn't have to get up early and so we watched Hidalgo. Both my classes got canceled which gave me a four day weekend, aw ya.

Not much happened on Thursday, did some programming, gaming, ping-pong with Allan and talked to Luke. Today was good as well. Played video games and ping-pong with Allan and talked to Luke again. Hopefully I will get to talk to Sara B this weekend since it has been quite a while since I have. She has been really, really busy with school, so she hasn't be able to talk. Anyway I think that's about it for now. ~Semper Fi
