family time

So I was up late last night for the game. And I was up early this morning for church. Told you I would be. Trust me, it wasn't easy. I was exhausted this morning and didn't feel all that great. I think it might have to do with the lack of sleep plus all the crap I've been eating. Not that I didn't appreciate all the food Mrs. Pam had for us last night. :)

Anyway, I drove to New Roads today to see my family. No, not my parents. My PawPaw, some aunts and uncles, and some assroted cousins. It felt kind of moveish to be getting together on Sunday for lunch with the family.

I'm not going to lie, it was nice to see my family today. Three of my cousins are at LSU and we still haven't run into each other. But now I have their numbers so maybe lunch in the Union?

I did some free laundry and ate a lot of real food. Just stocking up for the week I guess. I even got to surprise one of my cousins with my "all-grown-upness." We haven't seen in each other in basically forever. So when he asked me where I was living these days, he was surprised as anything to find out it was LSU. After some couting years and figuring out dates, I convinced him that yes, I am actually in college. As if you can't see it all over my sleep-depreived face.

Tonight is a lock-in and youth rally for high school seniors. Yay for never being bored. This will be my first encounter with youth ministry since being a college student. I'm nervous and excited. Maybe I'm way cooler now that I'm in college. :)

Tips for 2010:
Visit your family all the time!
Watch the Disney Channel even though you're an "adult". The Jonas Brothers are still cute. I promise.
Naps are your best friend. Especially when you've been up all night and then have to do it again.
Cafeteria food is still cafeteria food. It's nice to eat homecooked food every once and awhile.
Don't buy a mesh laundry bag. They rip.
