Its Thursday and were almost to the weekend! Really loving the warm weather outside and just being able to start doing summer things. Im excited for everything that is going on in my life and am just counting down the days until I get to go see Wiz Khalifia, J Cole, and Florence and the Machine. Its going to be a tough month school wise and there is a lot of stuff I need to sit down and complete but its the last full month before summer so Im pretty excited about that. Were getting ready to start our research paper in English soon and it shouldn't be as bad for me as it was in English 2. The paper is a lot shorter and over just one topic so I am looking forward to going more in depth on this subject. Last night was a pretty cool night with some great friends. My girlfriend, cousin and I got to go play some putt putt in Nixa followed by stuffing my face at Andys. I just cannot resist their Stolen Brownie Sunday. Following the little outside time we headed back to my cousin's house for a game night which turned out to be really fun. I enjoyed playing Scattegories and some Scrabble. This was my first time playing Scrabble so it was pretty rough in the beginning. I turned out to not be so bad and just barely lost. All in all it was a really great night.

It has been a really good week at school. I have been to all my classes and am ready for the weekend to get here! This is going to be a crazy busy weekend with a lot going on but I am ready to get out and have some fun. Friday night is a good friend's wedding and they are getting married at James River Assembly in Ozark, MO. I am excited to get dressed up and wear the new shirt, tie, and vest that I purchased this weekend. It is going to be a really big wedding with a lot of people but I happy for Jon and ready to have a blast there. Then on Saturday, Tess and I have another day full of events. That afternoon we are going to visit her Grandma for lunch with her brother. Then later on that night we have my uncle's birthday party to get back to Springfield for. To cap off the weekend we will be going to church on Sunday morning and then working together Sunday night! This is going to be a tiring but really exciting weekend and I cannot wait for it to get started!

It has been a pretty awesome weekend and the week has gotten off to a good start. I headed to Marshfield on Friday and got to spend the whole night hanging out with my girlfriend's family there. We had a really good time and it was a relaxing night where I didn't have to worry about anything. Then on Saturday we babysat my three little nephews who were quite the handful. They are so fun to be around and they are really comical. It can also be a pretty tiring time too because you constantly have to be watching out for them and making sure they are not into stuff. Sunday was another good day because I got to see my family and get together for the middle nephew's birthday party. This was a really fun time and I got to see some family that I hadn't seen in awhile. Life is just all around amazing and I wouldn't change a thing about it. It is going to be a busy couple months with spring break just around the corner and on top of that in April I will be a concert fanatic. I will start the month off by heading to the Wiz Khalifa concert at Missouri State which I am really excited for. Then in mid-March im going to St. Louis to see Florence and the Machine at the Peabody Opera House. Finally rounding off the month I will get to see J. Cole at Drury.

As my favorite new music began playing in my head, I could not help but smell the fresh food being cooked from my bed.

Putting on chapstick to fix my dry lips, I could hear my dog barking at a squirrel doing back flips.

I grabbed my basketball as my alarm began to chime, and headed out the front door to confront the summetime.

Reaching the basketball court there were many people that I would know, laughing there with family so thankful there was no snow.

I would shoot baskets for nearly a hour, drinking flavored water that I hoped would not be to sour.

My nephews were running around without anyone there to see, and the smell of fresh cut grass bringing everyone such glee.

After the game was over i would have to drive my car, to my house to clean up I was glad it wasn't far.

After a fresh shower it was time to head to the grocery shop, for ocean water, chinese food, and fried chicken with gravy on top.

After loading the groceries I listened as the car wouldn't not start, I began breathing quicker the taste in my mouth became quite tart.

A classmate gave me a jump start which was really kind, so I zoomed down the road with the air freshener rocking and a new guitar on my mind.

When i was home I grabbed some night time clothes, before typing on the keyboard for a hour something I really loathe.

Followed by a little mouthwash and laying down on a clean sheet, I remembered this day and realized it was quite the treat.

Last night my girlfriend and I celebrated Valentines day because we both had to work on Tuesday. This actually turned out really really well because the restraunt was not nearly as crowded and we got to really have some good conversation. Afterwards I suprised her with something that she has been wanting to do for a really long time and I hope it really made her night. It was really cool getting to set it all up for her and then experience it with her because I know how much it meant to her that I put the time into it. Another really cool thing that I found out recently was that J Cole ( one of my favorite rap artists) is coming to Springfield and will be performing at the O Reilly Family Center at Drury. It is a really good deal because my girlfriend goes to school there and will be able to get us advanced tickets. This is something that I am really excited about because he is an artist that I can really relate to with his songs and what he is trying to get across. It is going to be a four day weekend at old OTC and it is a break I really needed! Im going to use it as a chance to catch up and just relax.

This week is starting off really good. The weather is amazing and it's crazy that the temperature is already 60 degrees at 8 in the morning. Having some warm weather and keeping up with school are making my week go a lot better. I got the chance this weekend to try ice skating for the first time. Without the girlfriend i probably would have fallen multiple times but with her help i stayed up the entire night. It was really fun but hard to do on a full stomach! This week should be pretty mild when it comes to school work and errands to do. This is nice because it will give me a chance i desperately needed to catch up on things going on around the house. The super bowl is this weekend and I can say without a doubt that I am rooting for the Patriots to win. I just can't stand the Manning brothers or the Giants head coach. One thing that I would like to do soon is find a good book that I can get into. I really enjoy classics or books that have a old time feel to them. Reading is something that I really need to get into more. Another good part of this week is that tomorrow is Wednesday which means I get to go to church. This is something that I have recently got back into full time and it is such a great feeling. Getting to share it with my girlfriend has been a life changing experience that means the world to me and I know we will carry it with us for the rest of our lives.

This semester of college is going to go really well and I have a great feeling about how it is starting off. I have a math class that is going to challenge me but I know i can make it through. I'm also taking a Comp. Applications class as well as a American Government class. The best part of my schedule though is the fact that I have English 1 with Prof. Neuburger again. Im excited about this because I really enjoy his teaching style and how he incorporates computers and technology into his daily classroom activities. This is something that I like a lot and interests me. It should be a fun class that lets me be creative and gives me some new ideas on how to use technology in a writing format. I am also pretty excited for church tomorrow night and dinner with friends beforehand. I can honestly say that I am really enjoying James River and the style of ministry they bring to a younger crowd. It has me at a spiritual level that makes dealing with normal everyday life a lot easier. For a final note I am exhausted from playing basketball with some friends until 11:15 last night! I feel a nap coming on very quickly!
