Hello from Kings Street Annex at SMSU! Yup, I'm finally back and rarin' to go. Obviously, I wasn't able to write at all over the break. That's because the only access to computers I had was really limited and the computers were both really really slow. I'll bet you all are wondering what I did over break. Okay, maybe not, but that's what I've got to talk about, so that's what I'm gonna write about. First off, though, it's so great to see all of my friends and feel the love, the Christian love, I mean. It was so hard to be away from other believers, but God really held me up, especially towards the end of my break. Alls I can say is "Wow!" But over the break one of my best friends went to Guam, and my other best friend got engaged! Holy cow!!! And most of my other pals went to awesome Christian conferences, but all told me they were thinking of me and praying for me, which made me feel SO good. :)

Well, I guess I will start with the first week. I drove with Paul all the way to Kerrville, Texas, which took like, six hours. We ate and took showers at his parents' house, then set off for Houston. I didn't call my mom while I was goin' down there until we were an hour out of Houston, and when I did, she was freakin' out. She had called almost everyone and told them how scared she was and she was cryin' and everything. Hmmmm, can words describe how amazingly TERRIBLE I felt? No. My stomach was turning over after I got off the phone. I didn't really think she would be that worried, but I was wrong. She was okay when I got home, but SO incredibly tired and I had to tell her to go to bed. The next day we drove to Galveston to see my brother's graduation from the Seaborne Challenge program, which you can look up on Yahoo! if you want, it tells ya all about it. He looked so great! And I got to meet his girlfriend of over a year, Courtney. She turned out to be really great, which is what I want for him, ya know? He's the most important guy to me in my life besides my dad. Okay, well, I gotta go, but I will tell more later. Peace out and love Jesus!
