It's too windy up here to play paintball today, so the game got cancelled. I'm bummed.

Hopefully the games set for tomorrow will go on as planned. Perhaps this will be the first outing for my Phantom stock gun!

Made it safely to Mammoth yesterday. It's gorgeous up here. Waking up this morning was rather funny, though. They're painting the exterior of the places here, and, they started up at 6 am today. That wouldn't be so bad if they were just spraying, but, it sounds like they were sanding and scraping directly on the other side of my headboard. Somehow, I managed to fall back asleep and wake up after 9, feeling rested!

As yet, have no idea what I'll do today. It would be a shame to travel all the way up here and not take total advantage of the landscape.

So, leaving for the mountains today. I don't drive much, so I'm not looking forward to 6 hours in the car. Of course, I do look forward to spending time up there. Sounds like some kind of life metaphor, huh?

You ever have one of those moments where you think, if today was my last day on earth, who would I tell what? I feel like jotting down some names and short notes here. Though, most of these people will likely never read this.

Justin - she's not too hardcore for you
Kenny - OK, I admit, I'm a bit envious that my younger roommate from college is more mature and financially savvy than me. I really think it's because you're married
Chris S - thanks for listening and not saying "I told you so"
Erik - you kick butt with highschool ministry. Keep hanging out with the guys
Felipe - you truly take joy in the Lord
My Bro - I'm not always the best example of a Christian, but I do believe and hope someday you do too
Jon - sorry I missed your wedding
Amer - you're one of the more generous people I've met
Farah - thanks for forgiving my past slights of you
Jen - thanks for listening to me whine and ramble
Allison - I've not longed to talk with someone much more than you. I trust that someday our issues will be resolved. Everyone I ask for advice says I shouldn't let you know that I still miss you at times, and that frustrates me. I hope you are doing well.

I know there's more, but, I have to finish packing!

Been too many days.

I would love to go for longer periods and not wake up crying. Why can't I let the past be just that, and have faith and hope that God will provide a better future?

I'm actually taking a *real* vacation at the end of this week. The last time I took more than 4 days away from work, I just sat around the house. Going to Mammoth Lakes this weekend should be a good retreat. Did I mention, they have a paintball field now!?!
