i'd use every synonomous word with great, or good, to describe this weekend.

AND IT'S NOT OVER YET! holy cow! lit night was great. the taylors are great. my time in norfolk was great. there was so much food! i ate like a king. two kings! i'd say between fifteen and twenty people were there throughout the night. i read first, a letter i'd written but never sent. there were so many good reads! trish and i were partners again in hand and foot. and we won. i believe it is the first time that i've won. didn't get to bed 'till a little after 3am. more king-like food was to be had for breakfast. and i put 13 pieces into place of a 9000 piece puzzle. in my head, i figured out that i helped assemble 13/45 of 1% of the puzzle (the puzzle is so large that it is being assembled in halves).

when i got back to lincoln this afternoon, i tried to rehearse the comedy routine i was going to do in the talent show. being the king of second guessing, i rearranged some things, took out some things, and added some new things. i think the "final copy" ended up pretty bits-and-piecy. i was a little nervous but kept positive. lots of people laughed. it made me warm. i'm smiling still. i feel bad for those who missed the talent show. and i'm sad for those who voluntarily didn't show up. it was soooooooo great. every act was really, really good. boredom couldn't have been spotted for miles. there was clapping, and woo hoo-ing, and laughing. i am so amazed by the talents i saw tonight. and the crowd was great, too. hopefully, this talent show thing turns into some kind of tradition.

went to mike's for ice cream. talked with elijah about his trip in june. left before adam showed up. adam rules (he showed me how to make a sparkler bomb). called adam. arrived at the davy's. watched the movie prestige at the davy's. had a bowl of cereal when i got home. blogged. and am now going to bed. i am still smiling. what an awesome weekend!!! and sunday is still yet to come. wowie! i am so thankful for all of this. this week i've been down on myself but time and time again, the lord has shown his faithfulness. blessing, after blessing, after blessing. growth. understanding. it's just further proof to me that he never backs down. he's always at it. always being there. have a wonderful rest everyone. how can i sleep with such excitement inside me? cheers . . ..
