Am I done yet?

Ok well I can't remember if I said that I was way behind in my school work...but I was....because of coming to school late. But! The good news is, is that I took the weekend and just hit the books man! And...I'm proud to say have almost gotten myself completely caught up! There are just a couple of minor things that I have to do, such as, read a chapter, and write a paragraph on some guy named Nicola Tesla...or something like that! But I'm excited! I'm proud of myself. =)

Anyways besides that...I think I'm going to go to the Lutheran church tonight...Don't worry! I'm not leaving The Church of God! =P That's where they have practice for the choir, which I'm going to join I think, it's good for one credit...plus I get to sing! And last year my music teacher said I have a lovely voice and that I should join...so I'm gonna do it. ;)

Ok...see ya!

Back on the board! For one day anyways...

Over the summer...it seemed that I had lost my passion for skateboarding, it was mostly due to me busting my nice deck by taking some stairs, and then my trucks and wheels being stolen. Then I had bought a new deck, and used some really old trucks and wheels, and that board wasn't nearly as nice as my other. So therefore I was kind of bummed, and I didn't skate much. Then over the summer I traveled so much that I never skated at all! So it's been about 3 months since I even stepped on my skateboard. But....my friend Kaleb called, and wanted me to come to the skate park, so I said ok. I had to go get my board from Caleb and Mandie's house though. But I was feeling pretty excited really! I hadn't skated in a while and I was excited to try and get back to it. Ha ha, it was funny cause when I showed up at their house to get my board, Mandie says "so, do you have any protective gear?" "no" " don't you think you need it?" "ha...no I'm fine" "well...I still have your big band-aids if you need em!" "ha ha, ok I might be back later" =P It was funny.

But yeah...so I get my board, then I drive over and pick up Kaleb from his house, and we headed up to the park. By the way...Kaleb has a sweet new skateboard called a free board, and it's just like snowboarding on pavement, it's awesome! But that's another story. =P So yeah we get up there, and I'm actually surprised at how well I do! It's like I haven't gotten any worse over the three months that I didn't skate. So I'm getting excited and having a lot of fun! We even got some cool pictures and video. And here I am taking this kicker ramp on to a platform, when *SNAP* I broke my board again.... "ARGH!" Ha ha! I couldn't belive it. I still can't believe I broke another one. =P So...now I'm stuck...cause I was really excited about skating again, and it has to go and break on me! Now what do I do? Do I save up my money (since I can't afford to buy one now) and pay a pretty penny for a new board? Or do I "grow up" like some people have mentioned *clearing throat* ;) and just forget the whole skateboarding thing?? I don't know. Cause I don't know if I want to pay over a hundred dollars AGAIN...but on the other hand, I really enjoy skateboarding! *sigh* Dilema...Maybe I'll just start a "Paul needs a new board fund" you can all send your free-will donation of just 5 dollars to a good cause! ha ha! No I'm kidding! I would never do that. =P Do you think I'm a beggar!? Maybe I'll just find a nice street corner to go play my guitar and sing, throw my case open and hope that people will throw in some change! Ha....no I don't know what to do yet. We'll see I guess.

Anyways that's all I've got for now. See ya!

Alright...alright...

Well I don't know if anyone even reads this blog anymore...and really I think I've kind of lost the passion for the whole blogging thing. It's just been too long. But...it seems that I have some requests to write again. So this is for you, my adoring fan, and girlfriend. ;)

Ok let's see, where do I start! Hmm....

Well I guess I'll just start with the Assembly trip! Well I have to say in the midst of the confusion, and trying to figure out God's will, I thought the Assembly was amazing. I felt God moving in me so strong, and drawing me closer to Him. And with all the fasting and praying before and during the Assembly, I just feel closer to God than ever before! It's amazing. God is so good. And now I'm ready to get things rolling here in Havre, where as most of you know there is no church yet. But after this Assembly I just feel so energized, and filled with the zeal for God's church I'm just ready to get on the ball!

So yeah the Assembly was great. Not only did God move in a mighty way, but I also really enjoyed spending time with my friends and family. And it was really nice to spend time with Grace all week. *sigh* I'll tell you now...I miss her terribly. It's gotten so hard to have to say goodbye over and over again. But we did get to see the Shulers again after the Assembly! We went right through Arizona on the way home. It was so great! We stayed at a really nice hotel thanks to priceline (I should get payed for advertising ;)) so we all went there and hung out in our room, and Grace the kids and I all ran around exploring the hotel. It was fun, we got kicked out of the gym by security though. =P Ha ha! It was fun. And we hung around the game room for a little while. Then we went and got tacos from taco bell! I made Grace eat two. =P He hee. Oh and we got ice cream too! Man...it was so fun just to hang around with Grace and her family. With nothing else to take up our time, we just had fun! It was great.

Yeah...so now after all the driving for the past two weeks we are finally home! And it is good to be home, even though I still wish I was some where else. (hmm I wonder where?) ;) So now I've just been working on getting things all straitened out with school since I'm nearly 2 weeks late due to going to the Assembly instead of my first week of school. =P But it was worth it. So yeah...so far all of my teachers have been pretty understanding, and they are willing to work with me to help me get all caught up and everything. The only class I'm a little worried about is my electrical class, I have missed SO much! I mean they are already moving on to chapter 6!! I have so much catching up to do. But the teacher is being really nice about it. He's going to just let me hand it in as I do it you know? He doesn't expect me to turn it all in by next week or anything. So that's good.

Have I mentioned that I miss Grace? *sigh* Ok yes I'm pathetic! I don't care. I miss you Gracie! I really miss you. Life is just so much brighter and better when she's by my side, I mean I'm not saying I'm depressed and miserable when I'm away from her. But I know I love life more when we're together. =)

Anyways...I think that's all I've got for ya right now...I might write more later on this week. We'll see. ;)
