My Friends are getting married?

Sunday can be a wonderful day to praise the lord and relax, or a day filled with stress because Monday is the next day. Mine went both ways. I woke up this morning-excuse me, afternoon with a horrible sore throat and was ticked that I missed church, because I was going to drive to my home church and suprise my parents, but I slept right through that one. However I woke up and sounded like a man/ mouse and was a little worried. But I just prayed with my mommy over the phone, and I felt better. High five God. Then I heard a voice outside my door, and I was a little confused because there are only 5 people on my floor and to my suprise there was Britney! YAY I haven't seen her since before christmas break, it was such an awesome suprise. So I invited her into my room and we chatted and got everything caught up, and I started to watch Juno online and I felt really guilty because I was stealing it so I stopped and we went for some great Chinese.

Then Melody and I needed to do our final project due tomorrow for Shasha Wu. It's been a lot of fun to work with Melody for J Term because I didn't get to know her that well during the fall and this has been the perfect oportunity. So we started our project and I make her laugh apparently with every little thing I say so we are always laughing. We worked for about 2 hours and attempted to make Jake bring us food and drink, but that one fell through so we met him at the Cougar Den. I have met Jake before but haven't spent a lot of time with him. So the three of us sat down for a snack and ended up sitting there for an hour as I told them the famed deer stories. Then Jake asked something that really made me think, he asked me if it is weird to have someone my age, even more a friend, who is engaged and getting married? And I was like you know it actually is a little weird. For me it just seems like marriage and weddings is something far in the distance and something not going on with the people around me but thats wrong, and that is going to keep changing, and it reminded me that I was growing up. Bummer, it was fun to play with Barbie's for hours, oh well I guess that's why you have kids. So Melody and I went back to the famed Library and she just started talking about the wedding plans, and then told me the whole story of she and Jake, and we discussed for a long time that feeling of "the one" and it's really weird that one of my friends has found "the one" and knows it.

It took Melody and I 8 hours to complete our project and practice it. We were forced to leave the Library at 2, and when I left I was in serious pain because we had laughed so hard. We both reached that point in the night where EVERYTHING was funny, well I mean putting a picture of your professor in your presentation as a joke with an arrow to him that says cage fighter, is pretty funny, along with the chick and egg picture. It was just really fun, and the best project I have ever done.

To conclude my sunday I finally talked to my roomate Kelsey. She called me and I could tell she was nervous to talk to me. Long story short she is going to move to Gainey but she made it very clear it is no reason because of me. She really wasn't planning on coming back for this semester but her parents wanted her to complete a year and then next fall she has a wonderful opportunity for an internship at the international house of prayer in Kansas City. She is someone who really needs a big support system and change, and all of that is in Gainey for her. We both had prayed about it and both were at peace about it and knew it was the right thing to do. The only thing for me is that I am alone, which for some people would be a dream, and really it is nice because its like being at home again. However this weekend I was really alone, because of course I have been left alone at home when my parents go on vacation or whatever but I have ALWAYS had my dogs, and even though they're dogs I know that Gary will bark if someone busts into our house and just having him there I feel safe, and I can talk to him and he always listens and understands. = ) But I had no one yesterday because all of my friends were gone. Just me, and I really didn't like it. I really didn't like it when someone came and knocked at my window at 1 in the morning and I was all alone in my room, and Gary wasn't here to bark. (so i followed the tracks today and this person was sneeky and had long strides) However the more alone time I have, the more time I will have to spend with God and go to him for my comfort.
