Great Weather + DVS

Feb 13th was a beautiful day in Charleston, SC.

Be on the lookout everyone.
DVS-it's real. (link from Hodge's wall, saved for my own amusement.)

I’m in New 'Jerksey', halfway in my travels leaving the beautiful spring of Charlotte, North Carolina, and heading back to the winter wasteland wonderland of Newfoundland, Canada. This is probably the hardest trip I’ve ever had to make. I was oh so tempted to not get on the plane, especially when my first flight was delayed by an extra hour. But I know it’s for the best.

There are so many lovely faces that I’m looking forward to seeing very soon.

he will not permit you to fall.

Chandler invited Caroline, Christina and Sandy over for supper tonight at the Pentagon.

Christan and Matt cooked up some excellent food and we all ate and relaxed until it was time to go to house church. When we got there, we reflected individually on God and ourselves through some topics read aloud. Its nice to take the time to sit in the quiet amongst a group of like-minded people.

After that, we split up into two groups, guys and girls, and discussed where we were in our lives, spiritually or otherwise. The conclusion that always seems to be drawn is that no matter what stage of life you are in, God is watching over you, taking you through it step by step. The process goes a little easier when we acknowledge that we’re not alone, and that there is a purpose.

I’ve been slowly meeting some awesome people during my stay. I’m going to miss it here that much more because of this. Friends do come and go in life, but I’ve had the realization that I need to invest more into the friendships that are around me now.

one more, one more!

This has been a great weekend. Finally getting to see my boyfriend play a show with his band is a big reason why. They were amazing—the only band the whole night to really have people off their feet, crowded around the stage and enjoying themselves. Way to put on a good show boys!

DJ, blow my speakers UPPP

So glad that Taylor has been here the last few days. Having her around helped add some estrogen to the excessive amounts of testosterone that have filled up the Pentagon this weekend

Chander, Kat, and Matt had their combined 21st birthday party Friday night, so a bunch of out of town friends came in to celebrate. Party got busted early because the cops came to shut it down. We weren't unruly, just loud. Two 4x10 bass cabinets and surround sound kind of loud.

You could definitely hear us down the street.

The boys got off with a warning and framed the noise violation by the front door. History was made at the Pentagon. It was a proud moment.

Taylor and I got up the next day and made crepes for about 10 house guests.

After everyone left on Sunday, Taylor, Christan, Chandler and I went to watch Leap Year and Chandler was feeling the travelling itch to go back to Ireland again. I would personally like to go for the first time. I also got my size 6 gauges that I've been waiting for. Fun times.

This is what Christan wrote on our weekend party adventure:

what I learned…
This past Friday I had my very first experience with a college party. No there was no underage drinking or anything technically illegal and we were pretty responsible despite the fact there was approximately 48+ bottles of beer in the house when there are usually 6. So maybe 2 4x10’s with a 500 watt amp was a little much. Luckily I have a boss that has always told me to go big or go home. Well that is all well and fun until the cops show up and you get a warning that claims that playing a piccolo too loudly is offensive as well as music being too loud.
Rundown of what i learned:
1. always start the party after 11
2. only one 4x10
3. Stereo is not always important
4. Strobe lights make a party
5. 1 out of 6 engineers will have fun
6. 5 out of 6 engineers will sit in the corner and drink way too much
7. and most importantly, don’t let the dumbest guy at the party bring his 17 year old girlfriend and her 5, >17 year old friends.
I hope you all enjoy and can take from my experience.
