A Prologue

I suppose that since I've changed the name of my blog and since this post has nothing to do with CBU, it might not be able to be part of the blog save for the title of the post. So, there you go.
Well, we just got back from seeing Zachary, Brenda, Justin, Katie Ellyn, and Emily in Redding. We had a blast going to the coast with them on their family camp, winning gift cards, jumping off rocks, drinking Jamba Juice, and just hanging out. Although the agate beach was pretty fun, I'd have to say that my favorite part was jumping off rocks into ice cold water. It was great. Lauri probably drove more than I did on the way home. It was good even though I didn't get much of my book read. By the way, if you haven't read The Screwtape Letters, I'd highly recommend it. I was going to post some pictures, but when I was picking out the ones I'd like to use, I remembered that Brenda was going to post today and, sure enough, she'd picked three of the four that I was going to use. I would put the remainder on my blog, but our internet is retarded and I can't get the image to upload at all. Oh well, go over to her blog to see how much fun we had.
This morning, Mom told me that I had a dentist appointment this afternoon and I got to go get cavities filled. It was so much fun and the left half of my mouth is now numb. At least I get to go get the other side filled next Friday. Wait, what?
We're going to Phoenix on Sunday and we get to spend a few days hanging out with the family down there. It will be good to swim and see folks again.
Perhaps most notably for me, it is only eleven days until I leave for the single most nerve-racking thing in my life. Please pray for me.
