Easter Monday, till now.....

Well,

Alot has gone on since I posted last. My weekend with Sarah was awesome!!! I just love being with her!! She's amazing! Anyway...for an Easter gift, she gave me a build-a-bear that she had made from the build-a-bear workshop to remind me of her...so on Monday we went to the Syracuse Mall and I built her one to remind her of me! One thing about that that was really weird, but cool at the same time, was that Sarah and I both put camoflauge pants on each others bear...that wasn't planned!!

Well after that, we spent some time in the Syracuse Airport and then I said good-bye to her at the security entrance and she left! (tear!) Then my family started our two week vacation!!! FUN STUFF!!! We went to my grandparents in Pennsylvania and spent a few days with my cousins and grandparents which was really cool!! There will be pictures later!! Then we went down the East Coast and made our way to Southern Wesleyan Univertiy. We camped on the Chesapeke Bay....25 steps away!! It was really neat! That afternoon, before we camped on the Chesapeke, we met my uncle in Annapolis, Maryland and had dinner and Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream!! It was really neat to be in the State Capitol...I mean we parked 50 feet from the back door of the Capitol building!!

We then blitzed into my Nana and Papa's house and stayed there for the night. Then we took off for SWU!!! Friday afternoon, I was greeted by the most beautiful girl I know, Sarah of coarse!! Then I had meetings all afternoon with music professors and with other admissions people!! Fun stuff!! Then we had dinner with Sarah and her friends in the new SWU dining facility!

Then we spent the weekend in Table Rock State Park, South Carolina! It is gorgeous!! Table Rock Mountain looks like that mountain that Chuck Norris had to climb in Delta Force 2!! The area up there is awesome!!!
Our campsite was huge, check out my mom's website for the pic's! One of the nights, it rained. Our tent was faulty, so my brother and I in our tent and my sister in hers, all woke up a little wet, but with puddles on the ground!!! Great times!!! We had campfires, Nature walks, Movie times, Quiet alone times with God, and just times to bond with my siblings!! There was one afternoon where they were chasing me through the campground, (we were like the only ones there) and they both thought they could catch me!! HEHEHEHEHE!! They both fell....it hurt...but they both laughed afterwards. I fell as well, off running on my own, so I have no room to speak!!!

Then on Sunday we went church hunting. There are so many churches out there!! We ended up at a United Methodist church, where the preacher was VERY good, but there was WAY too much "HIGH CHURCH" influence! Too much tradition!! We didn't know where the church service was going, and some of the songs had no tempo...it was just an organ!!

Monday, we went back to SWU! I had an audition for the Divisional Scholorship in the music department. It went great!! Then we ate lunch with Sarah, again!! Then she and I got to spend a little time walking and talking, which was awesome!! Then I had to say goodbye to her!! (TEARS, TEARS!!!!!!) We drove off, and I will not see her unless, by her father's awesome, wonderful mercy they would side step to West Chazy Family Camp between the 1st and 4th of July!! (hint, hint!) I will not see her until August, when I become a full-time student of Southern wesleyan University, where I'll be Majoring in Music with the Church Music Emphasis and minoring in Youth Ministry.

Then we went to a hotel where we swam and relaxed!! We had dinner with my cousin Sherilyn, which was cool! Then on tuesday we went go-karting, finally!!! And we played Arcade games as well!! It was really sweet!!

Now we are back at my Nana and Papa's where it has been raining, so I'm here posting on my Papa's computer while everyone is resting!!

Well, its time to go, so...I'll post pictures later, and hope to hear from alot of you guys!!!

TTYL!!

She's Here!

Here we is!!! It may not be clear...but...yeah. It's our favorite picture. Ok everyone, It's official, SHE IS MY GIRLFRIEND!! YEAH!!!!!

She got into Syracuse on Friday @ 11:30am and I ran to her and almost knocked her over! (Everyone there probably thought we were weird!) We went to a buffet with my parents and had a great lunch!! It was good food!! Then we came back home and practiced our songs for Sunday morning. Then her and I were the "entertainment" for the kids while we showed the "Passion of the Christ" on Friday night, It was fun!! Then afterwards, we had to go to the local pizza place....a gas station, to get PIZZA! On the way there we started talking about the bf/gf subject and in a way I asked her again to be my gf...and she said yes!!!

Saturday we went to her grandparents' house up north of Potsdam and spent the afternoon with them. And that afternoon, we had our first DATE!!! We went to the Massena movie theater and we saw the 'Shaggy Dog' with Tim Allen. It's funny at parts, but other parts it's lame!! I'd see it once. Sunday morning we sang the Martins version of "All People That On Earth Do Dwell," Sarah, my mom, and I all sang awesomely!!! Everyone loved it!!! Then she played her TRUMPET for offertory, and we played and sang "You Raise Me Up." We enjoyed PRAISING GOD!!!

Well, I gotta go....I'm sure she'll post on her blog about the trip on Monday or Tuesday.....so Later!!!
