The Week

Oh man, oh man. This was one crazy Spring Break.

I should just leave it at that, but no, I will divulge the information that will qualify that statement.

Friday, March 7

So, we left Wheaton a little later than expected. I am not going to mention any names, (cough Peske cough) but we got underway with little hindrance except that shower, which was needed and benefited the whole car. Anyways, the drive was interesting. We ran into the snow storm that took out east Indiana and Ohio, but we were at its front, so it was okay. Then we got lost in Amish-ville! Seeing sighs like "Opossum Trot Lane," "Jesus is Coming," and "Beware Horse and Buggy," we knew we were off the beaten track. But we survived somehow and made it to our hotel in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Saturday, March 8

So, we got up kind of later than we wanted, but then we made good time, with me driving the first shift through Kentucky, Tennessee and into Georgia. Not much to tell here, but of the traffic, mountains, gas stops and Chickamunga Deli. You know what I mean. Anyways, we arrived at my house at 11:30.

Sunday, March 9

Well, today we just slept in and then had a BBQ with my family. I saw Jamie, Jenn, Jon, Jeffrey, Grandma, Mom and Dad, and our new dog, Otis. He's a pug. He's okay. Kind of jumpy and bites right now. But that's okay. Jaime (Realsen) said that he's so ugly, he's cute. I don't know how that works. Anyways, then we went to Central Winds Park and played football. Tyler almost died. Who knew he was athletic, but had asthma? So...then we got the apartments, had Macaroni and Cheese, and played Munchkin. A good day.

Monday, March 10

Today, we went to the beach and it was cold. I got buried. Just check out the pictures and video. It explains it. Then we hang out some more, got pizza and a movie. Also a good day. These entries are getting shorter and shorter.

Tuesday, March 11

Ah. Today was also good. We went to Wet 'N Wild. And it was half off, because we were college students. Thanks, Mrs. Jones! Anyways, the rides and people were fun, as usual. Hmm...nothing too exciting happened...except that I almost died! Just kidding. Oh! I convinced everyone to ride the Bomb Bay. It was great! It seems like everyone had fun.

Wednesday, March 12

Well, today we went to Rock Springs with Mitch and Wes. That was a lot of fun. The water was warmer than any place we have been so far, and will probably be that stay that way. We explored the depths of natural Florida, and laughed and talked together, and chased exotic lizard-esque creatures. When we got back, we continued to party late into the night, as good Wheaton College students do.

Thursday, March 13

Today, Jon and Desiree got married. That was really great, actually. They were pronounced at 3:02. The reception was really good too, and Heather came! So, that made it even better. Apparently this one table that was not in our group bought them Champagne, so that was nice, and it seemed like Jon enjoyed it. Ah. I am the only one left...besides Jeff. I am the oldest one left...scary thought. Anyways, that night we left bowling and hung out at the apartment. Heather got to meet everyone, so that was really good. And I got to see everyone too, which was also awesome. And I got to meet some people, so that was even better. The guys are leaving in the morning, so I wished them a farewell.

Friday, March 14

So, today was my dinner and a movie with Heather. We went to Chili's and then to Juno, which was a fantastic movie. I could use this opportunity to tell the world how amazing (with all her wit and humor), wonderful (in her grace and charm), and special (this is self-explanatory) she is to me, but I wouldn't want to embarrass her, so I will refrain, but she is. I don't know where I would be without her...actually, probably splattered on I-95, just south of Jacksonville, but that's a different story. This was a great day.

Saturday, March 15

Well, today was a pretty full day. I woke up kind of early, and hung out with my dad, and then did taxes and whatnot, and the FAFSA (both of which I need to finish up). That night, I went to All Shook Up with Heather and Mrs. N, which was a really great show, and then we headed over to Ashley's and hung out there, playing Apples-to-Apples, and watched a Clint Eastwood movie. Only one day left. I going to miss this place, and these people more.

Sunday, March 16

Happy Birthday, Lauren! Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to call her, but I remembered! Today was church in the morning, and then transit. I got back to Wheaton at 7:30....grr. Well, I am here. Let's make the best of it!
