Day 2

Only the second day.........? Wow! You see it everywhere. 9 pages at a time...1 blog at a time...1 day at a time. It will happen. But it wont be easy!

Oh Tuesday...how you are the busiest day of my week! Yesterday was crazy (I'm actually doing Tuesday's on Wednesday because i was exhausted yesterday...but ill explain that shortly). I knew I needed to get some supplies for theWIRE (the high school ministry at Christ's Church in Winterville, NC) so i decided that i was going to do it before i went in to work. What i forgot was that on Tuesday's we have our weekly staff meeting...Ooops! By the time i got everything i needed for theWIRE i was already late for the meeting so i decided to just organize everything and straighten up theLoft (our teen center at Christ's Church) and not worry about going because i thought they would be pretty much done.

As i was in theLoft getting everything ready i got a text that read, "Where are you?" from Chris. I said "I'm in theLoft." He replied "Ah. I'm in the staff meeting!" Apparently they were still meeting. Haha. So i went down to meet with them until they were finished and as i walked in Chris said "We're done!" haha. Good times.

After that we quickly kicked in to our normal routine for Tuesday evenings. Long story short: we prepared pro presenter, Chris finished his message, had band practice, hung out with kids (which by the way we have been averaging around 10 students and i think we had about 15 or 16 last night), went in the worship room and had our program (Chris brought the message like always), we discussed some issues at our volunteer meeting that we always have after words, then everyone went home.....except me!

Marty Anderson stopped by to talk with some of our students and after everyone left me, Marty and Brent talked for an hour about the future (eventually the future will be unfolded!). Then me and Brent played a best 2 out of 3 of ping pong. When ever me, him or David White play each other there is some nasty ping pong spinning going on, i LOVE it!

After we were done and we left the church I got home about 11 o'clock. That was the latest i had ever gotten home after theWIRE. I was exhausted (like i said earlier, haha)! I was able to talk to my BEAutiful fiance for a while (that's always the highlight of my day). I was also able to do a little bit of my daily routine but i couldn't finish and had to go to sleep because i was so tired and it was 1 a.m. (not to mention i had to wake up at 7 to go to New Bern).

That was yesterday and i will do today's later...interesting!


I have only just begun....

The Beggining! Day 1

The first day...the first book...the first blog...the first time...! It was a tough first day, but...the first day is always the hardest!


Happy Birthday!!! Today is my 22nd birthday and it was a great one. I got more texts, tweets, face book messages and phone calls, in one day than I've ever had in my whole life! It was great. And I'm so thankful for the friends and family that i have. They are a great support team for me.

Other than it being my birthday, me and Chris were able to get the worship room fixed up and clean. We were able to do a little re-running of some cables and get all the instruments organized a little better. That will be very helpful for the future when we go to do worship and everything is the way it is supposed to be.

After that we went and had lunch at the Woolard residence. Always a great time. Then we went back to work to try and get some more work done. It might not have seemed like a lot, but...I was trained on how to run garage band and how to record music. We record a song today (Your my brother, your my friend) and it turned out pretty good.

After that we met up with Dave Dutton and my little pookie bear, Aaron Collins to play some disc golf. Great times. Actually Silas was there to and no matter where we are at or what we are doing there is never a dull moment with that knucklehead around! I love that kid. He's my boy!

After a little disc golf we had small groups at the Woolard house hold and enjoy some fellowship together. We just enjoyed each others company this time. Never thought roasting the mini marshmallows would be so good.

When small groups was over me, Katie and Aaron hung out and threw the Frisbee that Katie got me for my b-day around for a little bit.

Then Me and Aaron hung out for a little while. When we were done we went home and he went to bed and i worked on somethings. I also had a chance to talk to my brother which was great and always is.

Now its time to hit the sack.


A long road a head, but it will be well worth it!

MY First Blog!

Haha, i say "MY" because as you can read my boy Chris actually did my first blog and i feel like a big ol bum cause his first post was at the beginning of December and its taken me this long for me to actually post something. But I'm slowly learning how to work this thing. I'm pretty new to the whole blog thing but i want to get in a habit of doing it often. Mine page is a little messed up but again that's because I'm trying to get the hang of this whole blog thing and how to manage my page. But for now here's a video i put together for my first blog. I'm going to do a lot of videos one so i can work on my presentation of thinking and speaking better and two i would rather do something in a video form, and hopefully that will change. Enjoy!
