Homecoming

Sooo homecoming was crazy as usual, but the more hectic can lead to very entertaining. My friends and I serve as junior senators for the student government at ACU. We were in charge of creating float to represent the juniors in the parade... we went a little over board. Dollar tree was not ready for our budget as we came in eager to find purple and white decorations. We got a basketful(like almost overflowing)of candy, about 30 balloons, and very odd looks as we were checking out. I don't think they had seen anyone buy that much candy before. My two friends, both conveniently named Jacob, can get a little crazy when they are together...so they proceeded to ride in the back of the pick up truck all the way back home! Balloons were going everywhere, people were staring, and we were all having a good laugh. The parade was a big success, but I always like taking a step back from the craziness of a day and enjoying who I am around and appreciating the experience of life.

Rueben sandwich please

For the past couple years, I have been doing meals on wheels with two of my good friends to people in the Abilene community. We recieved new people to deliever to this year and I have been blessed with all of the memories each individual brings to my Friday, but particularly Mr. Kennamer. Mr. Kennamer is a 95 year old man who lives by himself a couple minutes away from ACU. He always comes to the door with collared shirt and pressed trousers on telling us a story about his "glory years." This week we decided to take Mr. Kennamer with us to lunch at the new Schlotskys. He was so excited to get out of the house and order his favorite sandwich the one and only REUBEN! We all took orders sat down and waited for the glorious sandwich; however, it never showed. Mr. Kennamer appeared calm for awhile, but began to make a fuss about his sandwich. We sent two people up there to insure it was coming, but it never did....Finally, it came with a free cinnabon and an extra sandwich! Needless to say, it was an entertaining lunch. I want to encourage YOU to enjoy walking, talking, seeing, and being able to order whatever sandwich you want, but for real enjoy the blessings of being alive!
