Away from Home

Hey Everyone!

I know you've all been dying for a new post on my blog! (especially you, Charlie! haha! I got your email, so here is a post for ya!)

I've got some photos of my house, my church and some things around the city of Beaumont. Right now, my family (with the exception of Nate) is in a cabin on Lake Quitman, in Quitman, Texas (about 4 hours north of where I currently reside in Lumberton. It's also where I grew up). We only have a temporary dial-up internet service, so uploading those photos and then posting them to the blog would take an eternity. We're heading back to Lumberton on Monday because our neighborhood actually has power. The city of Beaumont, on the other hand, does not. I think some gas stations are receiving fuel, and maybe some grocery stores are opening up, so hopefully we won't feel TOO stranded there. Anyway, when I get back to Lumberton, I'll share the photos with you all.

Lamar University is extending the semester by a couple of weeks or so into the final exams week, and the finals will just be on the last class day. I was concerned about all this because I didn't wan't the semester to be postponed, which would delay my August graduation...which would NOT have been cool. But all is well on that front.

Anyway, we've got some old friends headed to the cabin for a snack and game night! It should be fun...in fact, they're pulling up right now! Hope everyone is well, and I'll be talking to you all soon!
