Its MARCH!!!

Wow! Time has FLOWN by!
slightly too quickly...
I have alot to update on, but most recently, i will update you on my yesterday!
I have been itching to hike or kayak or really just get outside and enjoy the outdoors! its how I'm rejuvenated by the Lord to continue to trek along. seeing as the good trails are about an hour or more away, i had to get creative!
Something I have wanted to do since coming to school here is walk out to the state line and back. its a little less than 8 miles total (there and back) and yesterday was GORGEOUS!!! so, i convinced a friend to join me and we set out on our adventure. Such a beautiful area to walk in, we were on a main road, but its out in the country so you could still feel like you were in nature with wide expanses of land on either side stretching out as far as our eyes could see!
In total, we were gone for 2 hours. we had stopped a couple seconds here and there to take pics, but for the most part, we had set a rather nice pace, definitely not a leisurely stride. It was gorgeous, I'm so glad i had the opportunity to do it.

Then, when the night came, a group of friends and i gathered to celebrate with another friend of ours who recently passed the test and got his American Citizenship. after having some treats (Apple Pie, and All-American classic) we decided to go to the soccer field and play a quick game of soccer...in the dark (well, there was one or two flood lights on near the field)
Twas an interesting time running around trying to steal the ball from guys who are alot quicker then I am, also, it was dark...if the ball was not white, we would have been in trouble. I was brilliant and had my hand out and in a fist at some point and the ball when full force into my hand...OUCH! its not broken, but it is sore when i try to move it too much, though i am typing just the same as before, its just bruised. And then, two of my friends, Liz and Ben, collided and Liz busted her ankle. Ben later collided (he was playing barefoot...) with our friend Philip and messed up his (Ben's) foot.
so, with three injuries and some extreme encouragement from the sidelines, we decided to play Apples to Apples Bible Edition: (um, this game is interesting...it can get pretty...heretical. we didnt play it for long.
I closed out my friday evening with a movie, Dispicable Me, which i watched with my friend, Jessica. cute little movie.
not too soon after the movie i was out cold on my couch (11:30pm, thats early for me).
Today, i feel great and im really lookin forward to hiking Old Rag when i come home at the end of the month!
