well, its after midnight which means its now Monday. which means i have one day left as a civilian. well, today, er yesterday went as such...I ended up not going to sleep at all so i managed to get alot of packing and stuff done. then I had breakfast with my dad at the Four Seasons restaurant. they have really good omelets. I gave my dad a cd I made for him with some Christian music on it. i hope he listens to it, more importantly i pray he gets the message of the songs. I love my dad too much to let him not be in heaven with me in the end. I made a similar cd for my mom. i'll give it to her when she drops me off at the hotel later tonight. peas3 Miss Anything?
after breakfast, me and matt went to church. unfortunately I was so freakin tired from not sleeping, that I could barely survive sitting still so long. The details of the sermon are still vague to me now. after church, I went to Applebee's with Mom, Jerry, my two sisters, my stepbrother, and my Grandparents. my last meal was a grilled chicken salad. I say last meal cuz i'll be fasting from now untill my final weigh in Tuesday morning to make sure i don't go over my weight limit.
after lunch, I said goodbye to my Grandparents and my stepbrother. then I went home and went on a short walk with my Mom and my youngest sister, Cassidy.
Then I went took about an hour nap before going to David's church with my friend Heather. They had some travelling preacher come in this week to speak to everybody while the regular pastor was on vacation. He gave a challenging message based on the story of the prodigal son. Afterwards, somebody had brought in a cake with my name on it to say goodbye to me. I had a very very small piece.
After church it was onto Matt's house for Movie Nite. we got to see Garfield: The Movie for free cuz we tried to rent it friday and it was out of stock. we tried to watch the movie without killing each other but it wasnt easy with matt and me constantly tickling Casey and Heather. (Matt ended up getting hit in the balls TWICE!) after the movie I said my goodbyes to Casey, Heather, and of course Matt. now i'm home and it's looking like i might be up all night once again. I'll have time to sleep while i'm waiting on my mom to get home from work tho. so i'm not to worried.
Well this will be my last entry for a very very long time. so i'll go ahead and fill you in on today's plans now. i've got to clean up my room. unplug all my electronics. work out some to lose a lil more weight (Weight clearance sale! Every Calorie Must GO!--random thought that popped into my head). Go up to the post office to get some stamps. take a nap. shower and change. check in with my recruiter to make sure everything is in order and i'm ready to leave. Go downtown to fill out an absentee vote while my sister has an ice skating lesson(VOTE FOR BUSH!). Then I go put a military hold on my cellphone payments, and pick up a phone card to use while I'm away. after that I say my final goodbyes, my mom drops me off at the Hotel and i say goodbye to her there. At the hotel, they wake me up extra early the next morning and shuttle me to the Military Entrance Processing Station so i can have my final weigh in, then swear into Active Duty.
thats as far as I'll take you into my journey for now. Goodbye diaryland, its been fun, and i'll be back as soon as possible.
