oh man.... tonight was a good night.  no really, can't you tell my excitement???  its like... OFF THE WALLS!!!!!  only, they are cyber walls, as you are currently reading from the computer.  wow, dont you like the way i think???  dontl lie.

so yeah, our family sort of "hosted" a memorial weekend barbecue party thing at our house.  it was pretty off the hook.  even though only one other family, our youthpastor, and my girlfriend came.  well, and an elder lady.  but what the hay. 

the food was pretty dang good... although kenzie wouldnt know that because she came like, incredibly late.  INCREDIBLY  that is how late she was.  (kenzie = gf)(in case you did not know,  in which case you do now so dont forget)

we had a good time playing too.  like, we have some wierd, but fun golf game in our yard.  my youthpastor and a couple kids played with that.  oh, and i take that  back, two other families came, along with the youthpastor, etc.  sorry for the random thought but i felt bad for my evilish deceptive lie.  so, back on track... we (a couple kids, including gf) jumped on the trampoline.  actually we didnt really jump, just lied there.  but again, what the hay.

the best part is when we got a fire going and kenzie was sitting on my lap while we burned all my school papers and the such.  man it was so romantic. lol.  there is nothing like sitting with each other in the soft glow of a nighttime fire being fueled by past biology assignments and english tests you failed.  man it was good.  no but really, it was awesome, i think i am a pyromaniac.  those of you whom are not aware, that means i like fire.  it is an awesome force that is not to be played with.  it can hurt... bad.  but watching the paper crumple as it instantaneously combusted... was just amazing.  really truly, and then witnessing the paper turn pitch black as all traces of its existence slowly diminish, just breath-catching.

so yeah... i kinda noticed our new youth pastor break out of his box a little bit and it was awesome.  i am so excited to have him and i can only pray things work out with him.  i love him so far... and as far as i am aware he enjoys our youthgroup.  lets just hope this is god's plan eh???

 okay, well i should be headed off... it is kinda sorta but not really late and i should be preparing myself for a long night's nap.  so i say goodbye, for now, to you my friends, i say so long, farewell, until we meet again!!!!  (i hope someone who reads this has seen that show.  it was an awesome show)

(out of the box)

god bless
