My boys played in the state tournament last weekend in Decatur, AL. We won 1 and lost 1. Here's the thing, why did we have to drive 4 hours to play just two games? It's a tournament! Shouldn't we be guaranteed at least 3 games? Oh Alabama... why do you not know how to organize a statewide tournament!? ugh. I was proud of my boys though. It was the best they have played all season.
Brent and I, once again, have a glorious road trip. We stayed at his parents' place in Birmingham on the Friday night before the tournament so that we could be absolutely and utterly spoiled by incredible hospitality. We went to a venue in downtown Birmingham called Work Play. Parachute was playing! They were great live. They have some awesome new stuff that is hopefully coming out soon. Hurry up Parachute! Please do not delay :)
This past weekend was great. I spent my whole Saturday hanging out with people at tailgates before the Auburn v. Georgia game. The best part of it was that I was given the amazing opportunity to see my buddy Logan. He and I were kanakuk counselors together in the same cabin for nearly 2 months. He went to UGA, so naturally he felt the inclination to come to Auburn to watch his dogs play the tigers. He is such a great guy. One of those peeps who you wish you could see everyday. We had a great conversation and got to catch up. The rest of the day was spent watching the game at my place with some friends and then hanging out with Tori. We ordered some pizza from Marco's (which is delicioso) and watched "How to Tame a Dragon". It was good, not as funny as i thought, but still a great movie.
Sunday was a beautiful day. We went to church with friends and then went out to eat afterwards. To my delight, we formed a little soccer pick-up game out at the fields. Then had Bible study after.
This week has been overcome by rain and wind. For the first couple of days this week I seriously felt mislead. I began to wonder if I really was in the south, because naturally when I think of rain and windy weather, I think of Kansas. Oh Kansas, I will see you soon...
So, I took full advantage and embraced the climate by sitting in my place and reading books and playing video games. Aaaah, I am convinced that there is nothing better.
I am currently reading two books: Radical by David Platte, and the 4th Harry Potter book The Goblet of Fire. I just finished reading 3 books of the Eragon series and am waiting with eager anticipation for the 4th book to come out. Get a move on Mr. Paolini!!
This weekend I will be accompanying some of my friends to Birmingham to stay at Brent's parents place. Apparently his parents came up with 4 free tickets to the Needtobreathe show! Yes. That will do. I don't know what else is in store for this weekend, but I will have you know that I in no way, shape, or form plan on doing any exercise whatsoever! Oh! and a bonus, Buns is bringing his puppy Rylee (a.k.a cutest puppy you'll ever see) with us. Maybe I'll get to do some cuddling (Tori is that ok? Just this once?).
I'm going to the Harry Potter midnight showing tonight with a bunch of folks. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited, however; not so excited for having to work the next morning after only receiving an abated amount of sleep :(. Tori has come up with an astounding idea of going to Starbucks to get some coffee before hand. I gladly excepted this invitation for 2 reasons: 1. Because my girlfriend is beautiful and I love her 2. Because usually by 9 p.m. I am ready to go to bed so obviously I will be needing some sort of caffeinated beverage to get through to movie without dozing off ha.
Well! Hope you all are doing well. Maybe I'll get to blog a little bit this weekend. If not then, most likely next week when I'm in Manhappenin' kickin' it by the fire in the 66503.
Flyin' in on the 24th!
With His Grace and Love,
Mocha
