So...what all happened this weekend?
Well, on Friday, there was the whole party thing out at my friend Liza's home, way, way, WAY out in this little town called Atoka up in Tipton County. Our friend Hutch was the first one to get there, and I was second. After changing into costume, I helped Hutch and Mike build the fire. Mike and Liza had already set up the chairs and tables, and they started bringing the food out pretty soon after that. Eventually, K.C. showed up, then Ashely and Nick, followed by Billy bringing up the rear. Unfortunately, Billy, Ashely, Nick and I were the only ones in costume, but we all still talked the great campfire talks! Mike's and Liza's parents were there, too, as well as Russell, Liza's younger brother. That was the first time I'd ever had hobo meals, and I loved it! Put some meat, carrots and potatoes on tin foil, wrap it up, stick on hot coals, wait for twenty minutes! As long as the potatoes are done, the rest of it is, too! I swear, I had never had something so simple, yet so tasty!
Then we came inside, and Liza opened her presents (her b-day was Teusday, I think). We all played massive amounts of DDR, running ourselves into the ground, and the Wii was set up upstairs. We didn't go to bed until very late, but it was a heck of a time!
Saturday!
The morning was spent pretty much exploring. Mike and Liza showed Billy, Hutch, K.C. and myself the place where Mike proposed, as well as taking us down to the creek bed, which was dry, but so wooded and green I was in heaven! I showed the others how to throw a Chinese war ax, and Billy got to be really good at it. Then Mike and Liza started wrestling, and neither Hutch nor myself could stay out of it. The highlight was when Mike pushed Hutch down, and they both rolled off the side of a three foot ravine! I swear it looked like Frodo and Gollum fighting over the Ring! After that, we succeeded at the four person chair twice, but failed twice at the Four Man Push Up. Finally, we made it back to the house to play on the Wii and Halo and more DDR. At last, we ended with a viewing of DOA, which isn't as good as Mortal Kmobat, but is way better than Street Fighter!
Then there's today.
Not much, really. Rang handbells at church, then lunch with the parents, then stayed home all day. Dad and I worked on repairing my bow and a few arrows, and I know what material to get to work on my other bow. I'll take Dad's bow with me to Ty's place so it can get a serving put on it, and I can shoot with J.
And now, the final touch! People will actually be reading this! Yay for publicity! Maybe I should include a disclaimer about none of my posts being deep, philosophical or reflective, like Katie's are...Nah, they'll figure it out on their own!
God bless!

Uh huh....so THAT'S why you weren't at the wedding to sit with us....I've caught you out, my dear! Glad you had fun.
::sigh:: Yes, yes, you caught me. In retrospect, I wish I had been there a whole whole lot. But, live and learn, I suppose.
My dear Bobby: In order to have as few regrets as possible, try to stop and look at choices through the lens of "the big picture."
Good blog! See you later!
