home sweet home

I came home this weekend and surprised Ashton :-) her birthday is on monday and she had no idea I was coming into town! it was quite amusing.... I had been talking with her boyfriend, evan, and asking if it was okay for me to stop by his place and visit her... he glady played along with the whole scenario! I was texting him because i wasn't for sure where he lived and when I got there he ran out and said he had been telling ash that he wastexting one of his army buddy friends and had to go outside to make a phone call... when I got into his house, ashton looked at me turned back and then did a double take... I think she said something like "no! oh my gosh!!!!!!" and then ran up to me and gave me about 100 hugs... no lie! it has been a blast to just hang out for a couple of hours these past two days!

Today i practiced for my Moody audition... my voice is so out of shape, and I have a stinking cold!!! humina! Oh well, it will all work out!

My plane ride was an experience as well! I am pretty sure God gave me my message for whenever we do our sermons this semester and I talked for about an hour and a half with a catholic woman from chili who lives in lincoln and a priest who lives in st. louis.... i love plane rides! either you can sit there awkwardly for the duration of the plane, fall asleep, or get to know the person next to you!

anyhoo... chicago will be awesome, I can't wait to head up there... I'm gonna grab dinner with Aaron and Channy and hopefully meet Channy's new guy in the meantime!! Exciting stuff....

well, now I am going to go drug myself because the medicine is wearing off...

that's all for now, folks!
