Summer In Austin

Summer is FINALLY here in Texas!! You don't understand, until this last week, it had rained almost every day before and after (that's 3 weeks) my trip home to Ohio. But it's been sunny every day this last week...it just makes life a lot more fun!!

It's really hard for me to believe that I've been down here for almost 5 months. I think back to March and all the things I did when I first got here, and it just seems so long ago. Kind of like when you think back to high school and say "Did that really happen?" It's weird how memories fade like that. Sometimes I want to go back and relive some of them. It's not like I want to get out of where I am....it's just some things were that good. If I could go back and relive any week again, it would probably be my week at YL camp at Rockbridge. It's so beautiful and peaceful and fun down there, and you can just feel God when you are there.

Texas is going well. Just five more weeks of work left. One of my best friends, Tom, is moving back to Austin in a week or so, which I'm pretty excited about. Hopefully we'll get to go back downtown and see some live music b/c I haven't done that in a while. I'm planning on going to Sea World with some friends this Friday, though, which should be pretty cool!

I have(get???) to go to a wedding this upcoming weekend. My mentor from work is getting married. It's not that I don't want to go....well maybe it is haha. I really wanna be there for him to help him celebrate and I'm glad he invited me...it's just that I'm not going to know anyone there and it's all the way down in San Antonio. I mean who wants to go to a wedding alone, and not even know anyone there. But I've gone to a ton of places these last months knowing no one and it always seems to turn out just fine :-D

I have to admit though, I am really excited about going back home soon. Not that I don't like it here, but home is home and always will be. Maybe someday Texas will be my new home, but not for awhile. I'm just about ready to get back into the swing of things at school. I'm so excited to get back involved in Navs and be around a ton of people again! I'm also starting to get Bengals fever!! WHODEYY!! I think I will get back to Cincy on the day the Bengals have their Monday Night home opener against the Ravens!! I was looking at tickets online but they are so expensive. Who woulda thought 5 years ago we'd be selling out every season?!? I remember getting upset b/c they would never put the home games on tv since they never sold out. I'm also getting pumped for Bearcat's football....I think we're going to be pretty decent. I'll definitely be going to as many games as I can!!

Well, it's about to be Saturday night, I better go find something to do!

Peace out.

Duke I never thought it would happen, but somewhere over the last few years you've transformed into a more rabid Bengals fan then I am!

They should be a little better then last year I think, but I think there defense is still going to be pretty bad. We'll see! That would be fun to go to a game, but like you said, I think it's really hard to get tickets for under 100 bucks.

I heard UC is suppose to have a good football team. I think that new coach is pretty cocky, but maybe they need a little attitude. I don't know. Allright, I don't know why I'm writng here! Haha peace out Jinkers.

haha, I just read your last post. Can't believe you are still on an air mattress! Hey I guess if you're fine with it though then that's allright.
