I am having a great time over break so far. Let me fill you in (other than the wedding stuff). I started by seeing Chadwick Friday evening which was awesome. I miss talking to Chad about the mysteries of life (girls) and just shooting the breeze. The connection that we have one is so irregular between guys that it is a friendship to be cherished. We drove the usual hour or two. Saturday after the wedding the girls, Jessica and Angie, showed up. We went out on the town with Jason and went to Java Joes. Ran into my boy Josh, who smelled a lot like smoke, and caught up with him. I love that kid but I don't know where hes headed. Took them on a brief tour of West Des Moines and went to Chad's house to play pool. They are the first people from Trinity to meet him (outside of Karen and Jessica W.). So I told them they were very privileged to meet him, and I mean it. I wish everyone could meet him. Church was good, and the rest of Sunday we lounged around, played Scrabble. Today was similar except we slept in, went out to lunch, then lounged around. I really enjoy not having anything to do, but it just feels weird not to be doing anything. I went and saw Darol tonight, the last time before he moves. It was great hanging out with him and Spencer (his 4-year old) but I miss him a lot and I wish he was still in ministry and was happy with what he did. Anyway, I love him, and will miss him being in my life. Moving on. I am really having fun with Jess and Ang, beating them in scrabble, listening to music, watching movies, giving them tours, etc. Such good friends. Well, I think I will go join them in their reading. Peace.

P.S. - one step closer to "yes" for those of you that know what I am talking about.
