Family Time

So the past 24 hours have been spent with the family. I wish it could've been more but it was quality. My favorite niece and nephew were at my parents house last night. They are on their way to Florida for a family vacation. Like Mom said this afternoon, "You just never know what is going to come out of these kids' mouths." Jasmine especially has some lines that come out and you just have to laugh at her. I've realized the toughness of Zeke too. He and Dad were playing football in the front yard. Zeke went for a long ball and managed to catch the ball with the side of his face. I heard the smack from where I was sitting on the front porch. Give the boy some major props though because he didn't even stop...just picked up the ball and went back for another pass. My favorite Jasmine moment of the visit was when she saw her new princess outfits from Grandma and Pop-pop. The look on her face was priceless - a mixture of awe and total excitement. Where was the camera when you needed it?

Upon returning to Hickory I was able to enjoy dinner with my other family. The Arnold family and I went to the newest barbecue place in Mt. View. It was good! I am saddened by the fact that they are more than likely moving away by the end of this year. Lori and I talked about our various roles for the Hickory Community Missions next week. God is trying to change my attitude towards this whole event and I'm trying to yield to Him. Pray for me this week as I develop my role here in this mission trip.

I'm going to go order my first set of classes for a counseling program I hope to start soon. I'll give you more information about it when I talk to you for real. Have a great Saturday night and Sunday!
