Hey Guys! It's been forever since I wrote a blog entry, and for that I apologize...I just hope people will keep checking my page in spite of my lack of consistency...
This past month has been
very exciting! Shortly after I wrote this last entry, my mother, brother, sister and I left to visit our old friends in West Virginia. It wasn't as long and miserable of a drive as I remember it being when we first came to Texas by automobile, and we stopped in Tennessee to visit Dollywood, a themepark in Dolly Parton's hometown...It was an amazing place! It was all decorated for Christmas, and it was so beautiful at night...I had so much fun, and got the funniest picture of me on a roller coaster with some guy...We're both wearing Superman t-shirts, and we both had the
funniest expressions EVER on our faces...It was hysterical!
The day after, we left for West Virginia, and we were there within the day...The next two weeks were amazing! It was so great to see all our friends again...It was also a great test to see who our true friends were all along. With some people it was like we had never been gone...Tayva and I basically tackled each other when we first saw each other, and there was NO awkwardness...hehe...it was so much fun! It was slightly awkward to be around some people, but that's alright...I had a spectacular time anyway!
We went to movies with our friends, had get-togethers basically EVERY night...We were just always spending time with friends, and I loved it.
We brought Willy back with us when it was time to come home to Texas. I had an excellent week with him as well...We played cards and watched movies, we went shopping and went to the movie theater...it was just a really fun week, and I felt more at home when I had him here. It was really sad to have to take him to the airport...I almost cried.
I'm sure this place will grow on me though...like a wart. Hehe...I'm just kidding...I love the house, and the area is not too bad, but I just miss WV sometimes. It's like two totally separate realities, too, if you know what I mean. When I was in WV, it was SOOOOOOO different from here that I kept catching myself wondering how I've grown accustomed to this place at all. But when I'm here, it's like this is all there is. I'm not thinking about WV too much, and when I'm in WV, I'm not thinking about Texas too much.
Two completely different animals.
I think having Willy here was like uniting the two different realities. It just made it easier somehow.
Geez, I'm all mixed up....but I hope you know what I'm saying...
Oh by the way, when I was in WV, Willy introduced me to 'Moulin Rouge', which is now the theme of this blog. I LOVE that movie! It's so
romantic!!! It's very very good.
Um...what else? I've got quite a bit of money towards the mission trip now...Praise God! Will you guys keep praying for me about it? I might blog about this more indepth later, but if any of you would like to donate towards the mission trip, my email address is dontwannamissathing@gmail.com , and I would love any support I can get! Even if it is your prayers...I consider your prayers either of greater importance or equal to financial support!
Love you guys!
