Happy New Year!

Thursday night was a ton of fun, getting to see David and Kira was great and just picking up like no time had past was wonderful. We played a lot of Wii and man playing some of those games is a workout. Both mine and Nick's arms were sore a bit from boxing and Rayman's cow toss game and present delivery, the last two especially are a workout.

Friday we spent most of the day at David and Kira's before we came home and went to a Christmas party for my mom's dragon boat club. I got to play a fair amount of ping-pong and a couple rounds of pool while there.

Saturday was a blast. Uncle Paul and Sheryl came up for the day. First we all(Dad, Mom, Erin, Nick, Paul, Sheryl and I) went to my grandpa's to shoot clay pigeons and what was left over from the last shooting fest. I did really well shoot most of my pigeons this time. It was funny watching everyone who had not shot a 12gauge before shoot, especially my mom, who would take a step or two back after the recoil. After shooting the shotguns we moved on to the pistols, a .357 and a .22. We shot up the laptop, can of plums and generic spam, because they hadn't got shot up enough last time. When it was my turn at the .357 I got out a can of root beer I had been saving for my turn, shook it up real well and then shot it. Got a nice explosion out of it, not quite as nice as the 30-30, but close. After we had used up all the pistol ammo my dad got out the 12guage and put five rounds in and unloaded them on the can of spam and the laptop. That really wiped out the laptop and spam, it was so funny. Then everyone went upto the house, except my dad, Nick, grandpa and I, because they were all cold. Then we got the .22 rifle out and spent the rest of the .22 ammo on what was left of the two computers from last time. When that was done Nick and I split five rounds of 12gauge on the two to finish them off. It was soooooo fun and I got lots of pictures to post once I get back to school. For dinner Uncle Paul took all of us and my Grandparents out for dinner to a really good Chinese restaurant for dinner. Then we went home and visited for a bit while cleaning the guns.

Today has been pretty uneventful. Nick and I did some grocery shopping for mom and some other small errands, while her and Erin got the house ready for the New Year's Eve party we are hosting. We did do our final Christmas tradition today and that is to burn the Christmas tree. It went up in fifteen to twenty foot flames in about thirty seconds and was really hot, but lots of fun to watch.

Hope the coming new year is filled with wonder, surprises and adventures. Have a good day and give thanks to God for allowing us the pleasure of anpther year in his wonderful and amazing creation. God is good. ~Semper Fi

Yar there she blows

Tuesday was so much fun, even though it did rain so we couldn't shoot clay pigeons. Shoot the 30-30 was by far the most fun. I shot a unopened soda can and it completely exploded blowing the top off and making a nice four blade fan thing. I got lots of pictures of us shooting and before and after shots of the targets. The weather permitting we will go clay pigeon shooting on Saturday. We also watched Madea's Family Reunion and everyone liked it.

Wednesday was pretty uneventful. Nick and I went to my grandpa's and cut, split and loaded the Ranger with wood, so that was nice to get out and split and run a chainsaw again. Then ran some errands in town and got some more ammo for Saturday and went to lunch at Taco Bell, mmm good. Later, we watched Lady in the Water. It was pretty intense at times and overall a good movie.

Today Nick and I are going to my friend David's house for the night, haven't seen him and his wife in about a year. Going to have a gaming party, finally going to get to play the Wii. Its going to be fun. I think that is all for now. God bless. ~Semper Fi

Another Xmas Break Update

Wednesday
Sara B and I finished moving what was left of the wood, which took about thirty minutes. We had a good conversion the whole time. When we were done we got cleaned up and I took Sara B and Bethany out to lunch at Taco Bell, since I was craving it and they didn't have any other places they wanted to go. It was a nice lunch, food was good, company was good and the talking was good. One of the sauce packets had "Will you marry me?" on it for those random sayings and I told Sara B be that would have been great to use for how she got proposed to. She was playing a mischievous joke on her friends from ACU. After lunch we played Sequence and talked some more and then I showed them some pictures till Rebecca got home. She had gotten me my Christmas present, a nice light blue checker button up shirt and a gray t-shirt. Then we got ready to go out to dinner for Rebecca's birthday. I wore my new shirt and all the girls liked it, especially Sara B. We went to Western Sizziler(?), a buffet kind of place. The food was good and so was the fellowship. When we got back to the house we watched RV, its a pretty funny movie with a good moral. During the movie Bethany was trying to find out how soon she would be able to get home, since Denver had just gotten nailed with a blizzard that dropped two feet of snow and shut the airport down. She was supposed to go home on Thursday. She finally got a ticket to go home on Sunday. After Bethany wanted to watch another movie, since she missed most of RV, so we did. We watched Akileela and the Bee, doubt that's spelled right, it was a good movie and it was nice just watching it with Sara B and Bethany. Then we went to bed after a good day.

Thursday
In the morning Mandy made crapes for breakfast before she had to leave for the airport. Rebecca, Bethany and Sara B were taking Mandy to the airport and then going shopping. While they were gone Veasna and I took a old couch and mattress set to the thrift store. After that I started to clean up the weight room. I got a lot of it cleaned up and vacuumed. When Sara B and Bethany got back we watched several of Sara B's family home videos. We got some good laughs out them and it was neat to see Sara B's biological mom, she died of cancer when Sara B was quite young. Seeing them all young was pretty funny/neat to see how much or little they have changed. Then we had dinner with a family they watch the little girl once in a while and have helped out in the past. After they had gone Ray, Bethany, Sara B and I played dominoes for awhile. After that we went up to the barn to play ping-pong, but decided we needed to move the table to the weight room so we could have enough space to play and not have to chase/find the balls when we missed. It was a bit of a challenge getting the table from the barn to the driveway so we could roll it, because it was dark out and I had to walk backwards carrying one end while Sara B and Bethany had the other end. After we got it moved and setup in the weight room we played for a quite a bit and then Bethany went to talk to her parents so Sara B and I continued to play. We had a good time playing and laughing and talking. We ended up playing ping-pong for about two hours. It was a good last day till I get back from break.

Friday
Early in the morning, four am early, Sara B and Bethany took me to the airport. We said our good byes and then I headed into the airport. The only exciting thing, besides getting home, to happen during my trip home was in Cincinnati. While there the fire alarm went off and a funny message played over the loudspeaker till someone got on and said to ignore it as it was just a test and I found Sara B a nice present.

Saturday
In the morning I went with my mom and sister to my mom's rowing group. We rowed in a dragon boat. It was a lot of fun rowing around in Oak Harbor bay and trying to stay in time with a lead. I did pretty good for my first time and will probably do it again next Saturday. Later I went with my dad and brother into town to pick up some ammo for the .357 and .22. After the store we went to my Grandpa's to get some wood. It was nice getting to split some wood once again. I could tell I hadn't used those specific muscles in awhile. Later that night we went over to the Beaches and played Joker and talked and ate for quite awhile.

Sunday
Went to church in the morning and then to the store and Dairy Queen for lunch. Got home and watched the Seahawks throw another game away they should have won. For dinner the Grandparents came over. We had our Christmas dinner with duck, mashed potatoes, corn caserole, roles and salad, mmmmm was it tasty. After dinner we played boggle for a bit and then watched Nacho Libre, a very funny movie.

Monday
Had french toast for breakfast along with sausage and fruit. After breakfast we opened our presents. I got a new book by John Eldridge and two button up shirts. We will be doing some more shopping later. After present time was over the whole family, even mom, went paint balling in the yard for about three hours. I was the only on not to get shot the whole time. Man it was so much fun, I had forgotten how fun it was. Then we did some yard cleanup and moved and fixed part of our electric fence. When that was done my dad, brother and I went rat hunting in the horse barn, I was looking forward to it, but there was only one small rat to be found and he set the trap off and got out side before I could shoot him with .22 pistol. Its been a good Christmas. Tomorrow we are going to my grandparents and shoot clay pigeons and a bunch of other junk. We are taking our shotguns, .375, .22 and the 30-30 lever action, which I haven't gotten to shoot yet :( Oh man is it going to be fun. I will have some good pictures to post of our paintball outfits and the shooting carnage.

That is all for now. God bless. ~Semper Fi

Moving lumber

Today Sara B and I moved a bunch of wood that is being replaced on one of the outside gazebo things. I cut the wood into about four foot chunks while Sara B moved them to the burn pile, which took about forty five minutes. Next we started moving the new wood down from up by the barn which is treated wood and a bit damp from the weather, so it was quite a bit heavier then the dried and slightly rotten cedar wood. We moved wood for about forty five minutes and by then our forearms were dieing, so we stopped. We had some good chatting time while we moved the wood, I enjoyed it immensely, and it was just an very enjoyable time. That is all. Goodnight. ~Semper Fi

Break post

Break is going really well at the moment. Sara B and Bethany got in Friday night and something surprising happened, Allan stopped by the house for a bit. It was good to see him and get to chat with him before he left for break since I haven't seen him in months. Saturday was graduation and it was pretty short. We had a party for all the grads at the house. Courtni's, Sarah's, Ryan's and Veasna's families all came into town. Courtni's sisters, Sarah's family and Ryan's dad all stayed at the house, so it was a little crazy. I don't remember what day it was, probably Thursday, but I hung out with Ryan and his mom for a good part of the day and she took us out to lunch at Sonic and then Ryan gave us a tour of the chiropractor's office he interned at this past semester. Anyway back to Saturday. Veasna and her mom cooked most of the food, which was outstanding of course. We had about forty five people, most of them where family to the five graduates we had from our house this semester. Dana, Nate and Ryan all left at some point on Saturday. The apartment was a little depressing to go in to after Ryan and Nate had moved all there stuff out, but it is all cleaned up now and is the cleanest it has been since I moved in. Sunday I went to church with Sara B and Bethany. I wore my new button up shirt, which looks like a cowboy's shirt and Sara B really liked it. Caleb and Lindsay came to lunch and it was nice to get to see and visit with them. For dinner the Montgomery's church was having a soup fellowship, so I went with them to that. After that we all, the Montgomerys, Cole, Bethany and I, went to go look at the lights on campus and at Berry Hill Park. The lights at Harding where really neat. Monday was a good day. I spent most of the afternoon cleaning up the apartment, while Sara B and Bethany where out with Rebecca, so it is nice and clean now. Monday night was really nice. After dinner Sara B and I made almond bars, mostly Sara B as I was supervising. Sara B put the whole stick of butter into the mixer while it was going so a whole bunch of flour flew out and she freak out a little bit, it gave Bethany and I a good laugh. Earlier that day Sara B dumped half a dozen eggs on the floor and was having trouble getting pizza in her mouth and then she got a piece of carrot in her nose, so Bethany and I had a good time giving Sara B hard time. After the flour mishap everything went fine in till I put the bars in the oven before putting the glaze on them and realized my mistake when we got done making the glaze and was thinking this is going to cook to long, then I was like duh, put he glaze on first. Anyway they still came out great. Then Sara B and Bethany got cinnamon roll dough started in the bread machine. After that Sara B, Bethany and I watched Madea's Family Reunion. We all sat on one couch with Sara B in the middle, it was really nice. After that Sara B and Bethany finished the cinnamon rolls and while they were cooking we watched the home videos from Florida and our camping trip to Heber Springs, it was pretty funny. It was just a really good night. God is good. ~Semper Fi

Done with the semester

Today I am officially done with this semester, yay. Sunday night we had our software showcase for softdev. The showcase is a chance for the public to come and see what we have been working on all semester and the winner of the AI tournament is announced along with the overall winning team. My team won the AI tournament, but didn't win over all, so I was a little bummed. The team that won deserved it though. I really would like this week to get over a bit faster though, because that means Sara B will be home :) I have been work on a walking stick for Ray since he likes them and it should be pretty neat once I get it done. I also should finally have Erin's book case finished now that I have plenty of time to work on it. I the war with my false self has been intensify lately so please keep me in your prayers. ~Semper Fi

Checking in

Quite a bit has happened school wise since my last post. Wednesday after break our Softdev projects were due. It was existing to have the teacher install then play a game. The team I was apart of installed first since we were the only ones ready at the time. We did have a successful install and the teacher played a successful network game as well. Not much else happened the rest of the week that I can remember. I did talk to Sara B that Monday during half time of the Seattle game. It was a little strange because everything was back to normal here at he house, so it seemed as if break didn't even happen, Sara B felt the same. This week on Wednesday I had my computer science comprehensive exam at 7am, ugh. It wasn't very hard and I only had trouble with a few questions, but the test is only 5% of the grade in the class so its not the big of a deal. I think it is more for the teachers anyway. Then later the same day I had a calculus test, which I think went well. Last Sunday Seattle played the Broncos and won! It was a really good game. I also talked to Sara B for a bit on Monday and will probably talk to her tonight. I think that is all the interesting stuff the has happened since my last post. ~Semper Fi

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

Mmmm riding is good

Yesterday I went riding for awhile. The weather was just beautiful, blue skies, light breeze and about 70 degrees, doesn't get much better than that. Oh man it was wonderful. I went by myself again since nobody was here, which was nice to get out and just relax in nature. It was really nice after the past week being all rainy and cruddy. Plus on Wednesday I had a calculus test that turned out to be not even close to anything the teacher had giving us to practice and what the majority of our homework had been. So pretty much the whole class failed and we are retaking it this Wednesday. I will find out what is happening for sure today. Our softdev team is meeting today for some testing and network integration stuff, so hopefully we will get a lot done. Any that is all for now. ~Semper Fi

Riding for the win!

I ended up not going riding on Saturday because by back was still stiff from moving bricks, so I ended up just relaxing. Erin's MFT group came over for dinner and we ended up playing wiffle ball after dinner, which was fun for once. Sunday I went riding by myself to get some space and get away from the house. The weather was wonderful, blue cloudless skies, just a bit of nip in the wind and I could feel the suns warmth though my clothes, perfect riding weather. I rode for about two and half, three hours, long enough for my butt to start getting tired from riding so long. I rode in the woods, which was an adventure on a sixteen hand high horse. Plus Fancy was being a little tooty as well to increase the sense of adventure of dodging branches and trees. I did feel like I was on a plow because of Fancy's huge head, she would just lower it and plow through the bushes. Good times indeed. Then I went riding on the gravel roads for quite awhile. On my way back an old guy saw Fancy and asked some questions about her, so I talked to him for a bit. It was so nice to get out and ride alone, to enjoy nature and the peace and quiet of it, beautiful it was. ~Semper Fi

Meh

Not much in the way of happenings since my last post. Just going to class, programming and working. Softdev is going well for my part, but our team leader isn't much of a leader I have come to find out. Anyway I don't feel much like ranting or anything so I am not going to. I talked to Sara today while she was on her way to visit her grandparents for the weekend and will talk to her again on Sunday. I really need to go riding and get some space,i f the weather is good I will on Saturday. I really need to call Luke this weekend and talk to him, since I am feeling lonely again and just missing talking to him or anyone else I connect to. I am looking forward Christmas break since I will be going home. I haven't been home since last March? I think. It will be good to be home and just get to relax and chop wood, mmmm chopping wood, fireplace, home. This is quite the random post. My thoughts are all over the place and our Internet is being gay so I can't play online and relax. Oh well off to bed and reading. Semper Fi

Felt like writing

I have decided that it is much harder on me to see a close friend for a few days and then they go back to where they came from then to not see them at all. Seeing them though is very much worth the addition pain then to not see them at all. Another thing I have noticed recently is I am becoming much more in touch with my emotions/more emotional(?) as I have matured, continually seeking to be the man God needs me to be. It is a good thing because it is forcing me to become more transparent, ie people see my emotions and know exactly how I am feeling. These are all good things and are part of my journey to become a true man of God.

Last weekend was really nice with Sara B being here. She wasn't here long enough but I still really enjoyed it. She got in Friday night and we got to talk for quite a bit before we need to get to bed, since she had be in Little Rock for Race for a Cure at 7am. She was gone most of the day and we didn't get to hang out much but I did get to she the most awesome movie in the world: Killer Clowns From Space. dun dun. It was hilarious I can't believe I had never seen it before. Sunday Sara B had to leave right after church got out so we said goodbye in the morning, it was bitter sweet. I wish we would have gotten to hang out more but the time we did was great.

Not much else has been going on. I have been tired and pretty anti social today but I did get to work outside. Cleaning up the trees in the front yard so I don't have to be so careful about getting knocked out while I mow the yard. Softdev is going pretty well, I still have a lot of fixing and redesign to do, so that will keep me plenty busy. Anyway that is all. Keep me in your prayers. ~Semper Fi

Start of week :( End of week :)

My week started with me wanting to shoot my self in the face. Sunday I programmed for nearly ten hours, rewriting most of the game engine and then integrating networking to it. I was up till 2am coding and still didn't have all the bugs fixed but our game was talking to itself. Monday more programming and our AI tournament was that day at 8am. We didn't make it to the tournament. I was realty pissed off that day on top of that me and another team member but in another four hours into it and we finally got it to play. Man was a cranky and pissed. I got cooled down by Tuesday and the week started to improve. Wednesday night I filled in for Ray leading his group for Bible study and that went really well. Then our team had to do a sales pitch to the teacher about our game, it went well. Today, Thursday was nice even though it felt like it should be Friday. Sarah and I went riding, which didn't start off to well. I was riding Fancy, a huge mule, and this 3 year old stud comes charging at her from behind and spooks her, I didn't know he was coming in time to brace myself, so I am half off her and decided to bale because there was pretty much no way I was going to recover my seat being bareback and all. I got a nice bruise on my knee, another on my right thigh from my pocket knife and some scratches on my forearms, I am fine mom :) Anyway after that it was a nice ride. Tomorrow Sara B will be home! I am so excited to see her. As you can see this week went from crap to really good.

Other happenings. Last Saturday a group of us went and visited Caleb and Lindsay in their new apartment and we had a ton of fun. Plus it was nice to get out of the house for several hours and hang out with old friends. My opinion of my team has changed a lot and hopefully my leader has learned a lesson this week. I don't think any of them have a firm idea of how much planning and time it actual take to make a game, even a simple one like checkers. If it doesn't get designed right from the start its going to give you problems the whole rest of the time. Our engine is in a sorry state, being all hacked together from Sunday and Monday and needs to be redone completely in my opinion. Anyway other then that life is great. If you haven't used my photo link in awhile I have changed to a new place with free unlimited storage and have moved all my pictures over to it now. I suggest you check the new place out, I like it a lot better. Good night, Semper Fi

Busy Busy

I have been busy with programming and calculus this past week. Friday at our team meeting for softdev we watched our AI's play each other and it was very exciting. I am also nearly finished with the network programming so that will be a load off once that is done. I really needed this weekend to just relax and wind down from this week and get prepared for next week. Our first AI tournament is coming up, which I am looking forward to. It will be neat to see how our AI compares to the other teams. The other members of my team really know what the are doing which is really good since I don't have to worry about the quality of the parts they do and we get along really well. It's been a good team to work with. I really miss seeing someone I connect really well with everyday and I guess I have really felt it this week. I have just been in a grumpy mood lately. Oh well. Another thing that is really pissing me of is this stupid sign up list for kp duty. I don't see why we need some freaking gay list. We didn't need one at all last year, nor this summer, why in the hell do we need one now!?! Well that is all. ~Semper Fi

God is good and speaks through his word

This morning when I woke up I came to a realization that I must put these verses into practice: Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:16 and If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 I have been fighting with masturbation for a very long time and finally realized that I can not defeat this demon on my own. I am asking all that read this to keep me in your prayers. Help me to carry this burden. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 This morning in church my bible fell open to this passage: Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 How fitting. God is good and speaks through his word. Just gotta be listening. ~Semper Fi

Update Yar!

Last Friday I went to Little Rock for dinner and a movie with Erin, Sarah, V and Heather. It was nice to get out of the house and have a really good time just hanging out with friends. I have been really busy programming the network component of my softdev team's project which is Reverse Checkers. We have about two months to make the game from scratch. We finally get to put all of our computer programming skills to practice and an other useful skills to use. I had my first test in calculus today and I feel pretty good about it, so we'll see when I get it back. I have also gotten my tent back out, because it as been wonderful sleeping outside weather. It is finally starting to cool off down here, which makes me excited. Tomorrow Sarah and I, don't know if anyone else is coming, are going to the Jackson's to ride and look through their tack. Other then being tired and I have been feeling a lot better and being less irritated by the girls. Anyway keep me in your prayers. ~Semper Fi

Yeah I know

I know it has been awhile since my last post, but I have been busy with school and adjusting to my new routine. I have been busy working on my softdev project and doing calculus this semester. Working around the yard and getting to know some new people better. I really do miss Luke, Bethany and SaraB. They brought something special to my life. I miss seeing them everyday and just chatting with them about nothing. I have been talking to Luke more and I have heard from Sara B a few times, so that has been nice. I haven't talked to Bethany in a few weeks, so I am going to call her tomorrow and if I can't get a hold of her then I'll send her an email. I don't know if it is just because I am really tired or what, but most of the girls were just irritating me earlier tonight and I just wanted to leave or go some where else. I really need to take time tomorrow and be with just God and myself. I know I need to do that tomorrow. I also gotta get most of the network programming done for softdev this weekend, which really shouldn't be that hard. Not to much else going on here. I just miss having someone I connect really well with around. I had that with Luke and was really starting to with SaraB. Dan and I are going to be in small group together. We get along really well and it will be nice to have another good guy friend around. I also need to get in touch with my gaming buddies and have them over more this semester. Man this sure is turning in to quite the rambling post. Stopping time I think. Keep me in your prayers. ~Semper Fi
