Feeling a little deep
So i've been thinking about the phrase "you never know what you've got till its gone"
This week is our last Sunday game :D i was reflecting on how my Sunday life has changed from since i left. I miss being told to go to church. Which is crazy i never thought i would say that. But i miss the people around me wanting to go to church and wanting to follow our Savior. Though my beliefs are not challenged anywhere near as much as they were at the beginning of the year i wish i was back home. Where i didn't have to be strong because i wasn't tempted. I could skip church and no one back home would know. But i feel like the church is the only thing i have to link me back to home. I was soo blessed and i never really thought much about it.

Fall Break
Well last night we played Maryville, #1 in our conference, and they are amazing!!! holy cow i just wanted to sit back and watch them play. They essentially played a 3 touch game and it was clean, and fast. However despite all that their defense wasn't the fastest defense i've ever seen so it was really kinda easy to beat them to the ball. So yeah. It was lots of fun. Right now i'm waiting for my ride to come so i can go to Raleigh and spend the break with Vab, and Mary Ivy. They truly are amazing.
