Well, last night was the first night staying in my dorm. I seemed to sleep really well. I think that may have been due to the fact Allie and I traded blankets though and I had a really nice soft comfy blanket to use. It was great. But anyway, I woke up sometime around 8:30 and got ready for the day. Everybody else had a convocation meeting to go to today but since I had to work I didn't have to go. I will be starting part time at work on monday though, so I'll have to go to the rest of them. But since I didn't have to go I just pepared to go to work instead. I did my devotions and then went to work. I have to re-adjust my schedule now though now that I'll be going to work from School. It takes about 8 minutes longer to get to work from here then it did my apartment. I didn't factor in that extra time this morning and ended up getting to work about a minute late. The work today was fairly good. We kept just busy enough so we didn't get bored. Its always nice when that happends. Andy ended up leaving early today though to head to the mountains to do some dirt biking this weekend. He will be gone until sunday so Derek and I get to run the shop on our own tomorrow. Once I got everything closed up at work I headed on over to the Donneberg's house. I was planning on going out to see a movie with Brittany and Vanessa tonight. Allie was originally planning on going to her dad's this weekend but that didn't end up working out. So Allie was able to join us also. I was pretty excited about that. Before heading to the theater we made a quick stop by wendy's to grab a small dinner. We all got to the theater and bought our tickets for "Around the World in 80 Days" Then we waited for Brittany's friend Johnathan to show up. I'm really glad Johnathan was able to make it, he is a pretty cool guy to hang out with. But he did show up a little late though and by the time he got there the movie was sold out. So we cashed in our 7:25 showing tickets and exchanged them for a 9:55 showing. Then while we waited for the next showing we just all hung around and chatted for a bit. The first place we went was to the Drowsy Poet and we were there for about an hour talking about all kinds of things. I also saw Rhonda there there too. After we left there we made a quick run by wal-mart. Allie had some things she needed to get. One thing she couldn't find and another she left in my car tonight. But it was a nice trip still. And it helped fill up some time while we waited for the movie to start. Then as our final stop before going to the movie we went to Taco Bell to grab another quick bite to eat, then we were off to the movie theater again. This time we all got in and found a seat without a problem. The movie was alright. I would say entertaining was a good word to use for it. It was pretty funny in some parts though. I think there could have been more to it though. Jakie Chan movies lately are usually all the same kind of thing. This one wasn't much different when it comes down to it. I still had fun hanging out with friends just relaxing. The movie ended up getting out fairly late though. Right around 12:00 actually. I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to get Johnathan home and Britt and Allie home quick enough to make it back to campus by curfew (yes I'm back to the curfew routine again). Normally it takes at least 10 minutes to get from liberty to the Donnebergs and 10 to get back (the theater is right next to liberty). But this time I also had to go out of the way a little more to drop off Johnathan. So I would be pushing it really close tonight. But Johnathan said a quick prayer for me that I would be able to get back to campus on time and that traffic and lights would work in my favor so I could make the trip in time. The Lord sure did his stuff tonight on that request. It was amazing. Like I said normally that trip takes 10 minutes just to Britt and Allie's house but tonight even after taking Jonathan home first I made it to the Donneberg's in less then 5 mintues. I can't even fathom how that was possible but it completely worked out. It could have only been a God thing. But it was not over yet, I then made it back to campus by 12:15 and managed to get into my dorm by 12:20 after parking and walking back. So from the movie ending right around 12:00 and us all walking to the car then driving everybody home and back again. I somehow did it in about 1/3 of the time it should have taken. If I don't beleive God was in on that I would have to be crazy. Once returning back to my dorm I had some paper work I needed to clean up and organize tonight. A few people ended up talking to me online as well who are just now getting back on campus. I also taked to Jack Veggin who was an old friend/youth leader from seattle. I hadn't heard from him in awhile and it was great to catch up on some stuff. But I'm pretty sleepy now though I'm kind of dozing off here and there... so its probalby best if I go to sleep. Good idea huh? Ok night!
