*This was supposed to be posted at about 2:45pm today, but my network was down... again.*

Ok…. I finally have time to write :-) The last two weeks have been crazy…. Anyway, here’s a summary of everything that’s happened:

I did nothing but homework for an entire week before Chad came home. I busted my butt to get all my Physics homework, Tech writing presentation, yada yada, finished so I wouldn’t have to drag Chad to a million study sessions. And it almost worked…. I only had a little bit to do in Physics and one Tech writing meeting after he got here. What can I say…. I’m just good :-)

Chad flew into Memphis Friday/Saturday, and his dad drove him down here on Monday… they had just gotten into town when I got back from class. So we went to Abner’s for lunch, and then I dragged Chad to my meeting…. When he got sick of listening to Aimee yap about our stupid project, he went over to check into his room… then he went and met Angela at the band hall. We finally finished our meeting at about 6:15… Chad and I grabbed food and dropped in on Sam’s roleplaying group. Their current campaign is pretty cool…. Chad’s old character has become something between a legend and a god, so listening to that was pretty neat. We went home early, since I had to give a presentation the next morning at 8am.

Tuesday I went to class all day…. I guess Chad just kinda hung out while I was in class, he met me after Karate, and he and Josh Atchley and I went to Josh’s house and visited for awhile. Then Josh brought us back, and we met Brian after band… and ran to Walmart, and to dinner… Then I got Chad to come to Insight for the first time ever…. And of course, I brought him the one week that Hugh decides we need to do all this odd traditional crap with candles and communion, and watch a horribly poorly made Jesus film. *grrr* Oh well….

Wednesday, I took the world’s worst physics test, and then Brian and I dragged Chad to the gym and worked out… Then we ate in the union, and Chad’s bizarre cult of aerospace people followed him around for a while. When we got away from them, Chad played video games with Brian while I took online tests *grin*….. Then Chad and I stole Brian’s car and went out to dinner.

Thursday I went to class, and then Chad and I rode with Michael back to Southaven. Chad almost died on the way up there…. He almost drowned in his own Dr. Pepper… it was funny. When we got to Chad’s house, we made sammichs for supper, and played a game of Monopoly *note: I am the Monopoly Queen*

Friday we slept late…. Late for me, I guess… I didn’t get Chad out of bed until 11am, but I was up at 9:15. Chad and I took Caleb and Chelsea to the mall and Best Buy, and Chad bought my birthday presents :-) Then, after dropping Caleb and Chelsea at home, we went and met Kris, Manda, and Byron, and all of us (plus Avery) went out to J. Alexander’s for an *excellent* steak dinner. It was really nice to get to sit down and talk to everyone…. I thought it was extremely funny that Chad wouldn’t tell a story that involved cussing, but he had no problem telling me to tell it :-) anyway…. We stayed until time to pick up Chad’s dad…
Saturday I ran the gautlet…. I met all of Chad’s family on his Dad’s side. Whew! There were a million people at Aunt Johnna’s house, and they all run on the same frequency…. It was wild. I had a lot of fun though, and no one seemed to hate me, at least that’s good. We were supposed to go to some Karaoke bar Friday night, but Chad’s parents disappeared, and then we found out they wouldn’t have let me in anyway (under 21)… so we ended up eating Taco bell and watching The Secret of NIMH (one of my presents from Chad)… and we had a good time.

Sunday Chad and I went to church…. And then we came home, and Michael was like, 6 hours late to pick me up, so I got to spend lots of extra time curled up next to Chad watching TV :-) I finally made it back to State around 9:45pm…. And called my parents only to find out that my granny is in the hospital…. Not sure what’s happening with that yet, they think she may have had a small stroke or something. She seems pretty stable now…

If I don’t get called home in a hurry, Brian and I are celebrating our birthdays Tuesday and Wednesday :-) His cake is actually in the oven now :-) I have to go to Walmart tonight and pick up ice cream and candles and wrapping paper…. Those sound like the ingredients for a spiffy party *grin* Anyway……. The cake is probly done, so I had better go get it.
