This has been a pretty great last couple of weeks in town. My mom cried in church last Sunday and Ive given her a hard time about it ever since. But yesterday, which was the last Sunday for most freshman about to enter college, was my emotional Sunday. As we sat in church and listened to the anthem being sung, I was thinking about all the great times I've had in the church, as well as all the bad times. All the preachers that have come through the doors since I've been born. All the friends that I grew up with in the church. As I sat there I couldn't help but think that with the way the music was playing it all seemed like slow motion. It kind of had the feeling of the funeral scene in "Across the Universe," just not as sad. I guess the main reason I'm so sad about leaving the church, besides the fact that it's where I've grown up my whole life, is because of the pastors that have just become part of our church. They came at the right time, the time when I have opened up to people and mainly just come out of my shell. I can connect with Robert very easily, so leaving Friday and only seeing hime a small number of times during the two years that he will be with us is what is bringing me down I think. But to end yesterday, my grandpa gave me a Wesley Study Bible. So that will keep me busy.
Today, Monday, was a wonderful day. I spent the day with Kellie Lee Landon and fell for her even harder. Knowing that today is my last official Monday in Benton is a little sad, but I'm ok with it. Mondays in Benton, and particularly Benton High School, are pretty rough. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend this last one though. It's been sad, but at the same time the excitement is hitting me more and more. I'm happy about that.
