Following HIS Lead

unfortunately, this weekend i was without my camera so there are not photos to share with yall of the fun weekend I had with Charlotte, Emory and Mik. BUT i will let you read about it!

Sunday afternoon me, Charlotte and Emory drove up to Charlotte's house on Lake Grandbury to relax, play in the lake and celebrate the 4th of July in style.
Most of the time we were playing 42 and the dominoe "put up" game. Monday we all slept in and purchased the goods needed for the fun that night. after Charlotte's dad got off work we hit the water and i attempted to learn to water ski-and failed miserably. we had fun, the lake was pretty empty, Mik knee boarded, Emory did as well as I did and Charlotte showed us all up..but she grew up on the lake! After dinner, we headed up to the FBC-Grandbury parking lot to launch the 22 2 liters of diet sam's cola and the 7 boxes of mentos we purchased earlier that day. let me tell you it was awesome. apparently the phenomenon is to watch the diet coke spray out of the bottle, but we did it extreme-launching and throwing them in the air, watching them crash down and going flying in crazy directions exploding diet coke everywhere; we even got one to clear a light pole! we also experiemented with regular cola and dr. thunder, but neither worked as well as the diet coke. Tuesday rolled around and we all woke up early to hit the lake while it was smooth. I succeeded at wake boarding as well as knee boarding. After playing we headed to the square for lunch and to walk around, and it was scorching hot. The rest of the day was spent at the Terrel's preparing for the 4th party and once the guest came talking and mingling. Wednesday on the way home to CS i was hurting, and still am a little bit. All my muscles and joints were pretty sore, but it was fun nevertheless

It was a great couple of days to get away and good fellowship with summer friends that i didnt know very well, but got to know better. I was glad to get the invite and the Terrel's hospitality and kindness was such a blessing. My 42 fix was met and we had a bunch of laughs.

thats it...i've been working parttime back at aggieland...not my favorite, but i needed some income.
I leave for North Carolina in 4 days and then will be road tripping it with Valerie all the way up to Philadelphia back down through Kentucky and Nashville. I'll be back home in CS the 23rd and will most likely start packing for the big cross-country move.

I've officially been registered for 2 courses: Global Communication and International Problem Solving; which i've been able to look at one of the syllabi and i cant wait!

grace & peace,
