I feel so blessed by these last twenty four hours of my life, maybe even 48 or 72. The weather has been superb today, but let me tell you why I feel so blessed by these last few days.... On thurday night my house + pat took out took out the beautiful women of Ironbark for a valentines day dinner in beautiful cambria. It was neat because we put all our names in a hat and had the girls grab our names out of it and whoever they drew was their date. It was a fun night with good food, good company (especially my date!! This is a shout out to Jen, represent!) and good... stars. The stars were amazing and have been amazing the last two nights. On the drive back we pulled over on the one and got out of the cars. We were surrounded, nay, engulfed by the little balls of flames. It had been a long time since i had seen so many. We even saw a shooting star. After that we went back to their house and had chocolate covered strawberries and relaxed. So, with that the weekend had a great start!!
On fridizzle me and Joe slept in till pretty late, and just relaxed all day until about 4:30 when we were joined by allison and keely (and later jen and angela) for a little bbq action. I had some sausages, joe had some pork chops and K and A had some chicken... it was all good. After that I went to the poly game with A and K and saw them win, final score 10-1. Can i get a booya? Anyways, I went back home and then joe got off work, joe mo came back, and we all went on our roof to look at the stars again. I feel like stars will always remind me of how powerful the Lord is. and how insignificant I am, yet God still loves me and wants to know me on a personal level. So amazing.... I feel like the best place to view the stars would be on a sail boat in the middle of the ocean, with no land or lights in sight. There would be sooo many, I can only imagine how glorious that would look. I can just feel the warm wind blowing through my hair and hear the soft sound to the water lapping against the hull of my boat... Someday....someday.
Today we started off with some bible study action with the boys, and then Joe, Joe, and I went to the beach. We laid out, played football, built a pretty weak sandcastle, and went swimming in the friggid waters. It felt so good none the less, The weather today was pretty much perfect, mid 80's, a light warm breeze = blessing for mid february. After the beach we bbqed up some more meat and after eating we relaxed on our abundant couches and read while listening to great music. the book I'm reading called, "cruisng in seraffyn" is one of sweetest books i have ever read. I am greatful to jen who has let me borrow it.
Meanwhile Keith is San Jose running sound for the epic conference... i wish you were here Split Pea, I wish you were here...
So... I have a group project to do at 6 o clock. I wish I could just stay here and relax for hours, but work has to be done, hopefully the project wont be incredibly dull, I feel like that can't damper the mood I have been in the last few days. I feel like i've been incredibly blessed with every little thing. I am so greatful that the Lord has put so many great people in my life. I love you all. I wish my dad the best of luck doing taxes while my mom is going to a james taylor concert with her friends. Mom, you need to cook dad a worthy meal. hahahahahahaha. Just kidding. Churchin it in the morning tomorrow fo sho, then maybe a little beach action if its still warm, then a little dirt bike action, then some photo action. Its going to be hard to get school work done tomorrow. Oh well. God is good, he blesses richly! If you need proof just look at the stars.... May you all have a truely wonderful evening, enjoy the short time that we have on this earth, don't let the stresses of this life bring you down. Be blessed!
