Hallelujah

Yesterday was quite an eventful day for me. Just when I thought that Cape Girardeau couldn't get any worse... the impossible happened. I actually had fun! Now fun out here isn't exactly the same type of fun back at home but I found out something very important. Fun is what you make of it... You have to actually get up off your ass and be creative and think of something to do. I thought that I was going to be cooped in this house all day until I got that call... and that call may have changed my whole perspective on Cape and the people in it.

I got a call from one of the football players that was recruited out of Fullerton and he invited me to play some two-hand touch football out on the stadium field with some of the guys. At first I didn't feel like getting off lazy butt but I went ahead and agreed to join. Good thing that I did because I had a ton of fun. Me, Hammer, Joe, Dustin, Taloa, Grassi, BB, Aris, Kendell & his Dad (Pops we called him) played a shirts & skins game of 5-on-5. It was awesome because not only was I the leading receiver with at least 10 catches (3 for touchdowns) but I also got some sun at the same time because my team were skins.

Kendell's Dad was clutch because he did so much for us that day. He brought a cooler full of powerade for the game, after the game he took us out to Kidd's (a liquor store nearby) and bought us all slushies, and not to mention also feeding us pizza after swimming at Cape Place apartments. Shout out to Pops.. thanks for all that you've done.

So like I mentioned before, after the football game we all decided to go swimming at a apartment complex close to campus. It was such a great feeling jumping into that pool after running routes on that football field that had to have been at least 100°F. We played 3 flies up for more then an hour and then grubbed on some pizza. It was getting dark and we weren't sure what was going down for the rest of the night.

Someone mentioned that Step Brothers came out Friday and that we had to go see it. Sure enough we all went (all 16 of us) to check this kiss ass film. I must say... it was pretty damn funny. Other then that, it was quite a fun-filled day.

Today I was invited to a church here in Cape. It was actually a beautiful church that felt very welcoming. I met a lot of people that were very friendly and I used the bible that SB gave me as a going away gift. I'm going to be using this bible pretty frequently and I want you to know that every time I look this bible, I'll be thinking of you, Sarah. I know it will make you happy that I'm putting your gift to good use. Miss you. =)
