Memories to Hold Onto

I have been home one day and already I am extremely bored. I guess it's that whole... going, going, going than STOPPING! but it's nice. I know and God knows I need this break. My trip to South Dakota was both refreshing and highly amusing. My first day there Julie and I sat outside on the swing and watched the storm. It was so amazing and really showed me how amazing our God truly is, after the storm we went back inside to cook and headed off to bed. Alright, so now our week really started. Monday I hung out with Sam all day then when Julie got home we went horseback riding...from 7:00 til 9:15. It was pretty much amazing and nothing could beat it. Tuesday was my day to relax and think through somethings with God. I finished that day feeling at peace with life. That night Julie and I decided to sit out on the roof and look at up the stars. I am still amazed at what God can do...I mean there were millions and millions of stars surrounding us and lighting up the sky with their beauty. Wednesday came rolling right along and I learned to paint a house...It was kind of fun in a way but I got a stinkin' farmers tan which is something that HAS NEVER happened to me EVER! Not okay with that. After painting Julie and I decided we really wanted to be in two places at once so we drove to the border of South Dakota and Nebraska....

But the best part of that day was when Jason asked to take us all out to dinner. We left around 6:30 to eat dinner than afterwards we went off to the Dairy Dock to get ice cream and watch the water. I'd say that night was pretty much perfect. I had my two very best friends of SD and also a brand new one. It was almost like old days when Julie, Jason and I would sit around and talk about life or joke around. The night was really bittersweet because as muuch fun as I did have I remembered that Jas and my friendship isn't the same anymore because he got married but as much as I miss it I'm still happy he found Sam. (She's a gem) Thursday was our very last day to hang out and it was also the hottest day but Julie, Sammy and I decided to go swimming which was so much fun I can't even explain to you. Afterwards we went to the baseball game to watch our team lose but they sure didn't go down without a fight at the end. :) I said my goodbyes and the very next day I attempted to fly home.

I left at 7:30 in the morning to get to my flight that was suppose to leave at 10:12... it was delayed because of bad weather and then when It finally left there wasn't any room...I was totally fine with that...Life was good but finally our next plane came at about 12:00 and we left around 1:30pm. I was getting ready to just fall asleep when the guy across from me started talking to me. He was so sweet and such a gentleman. It was weird because I wasn't used to that. I had part of my guard up but I realized I didn't need it because he wasn't like everyone else. He was confident and polite. In everything he did he made sure I went first or was taken care of and if he happens to read this post I'm glad because he gave me hope for the rest of the world. Its been awhile since a guy was truly nice but it felt good. After our flight landed we send goodbye.

I came home and life went back to how it always is but I'm regretful for life and the chances God gives to me.

Hope you all are doing well.
