A Few Days

Only a few days since my last post. Another weekend came and went but I have made plans for a vacation which I am extremely excited about. Let me tell you what happened...

Friday was prett ordinary, but I was a little excited from a conversation I had with Carmen. We had been talking about her upcoming spring break and how great it would be if I could come out to California and visit her. After putting some thought into it, I decided that this would be a really good thing. I wuld fly out to California, stay with her for a few days and then drive with her back to Idaho. Then I noticed airline prices! The ticket from DFW to OAK wasn't bad, but the one from IDA back to DFW was much more exspensive. Carmen told me that she was planning on staying in Reno with her aunt and uncle for the night when we got there, so to save a little money, I figured it would be better to fly out of Reno instead of IDA. That way I could at least be with her for half of the drive. But then she really surprised me, she said she would get me a tcket into California using her frequent flyer miles so I would only have to pay for one ticket. When she told me on Friday that everything was all taken care of and that I had a ticket in my name, I changed my plans and decided that would be able to drive with her all the way up to Idaho. That next morning we would drive down to SLC and then I would fly back to DFW from there. So you could say that Friday was a very happy day. Besides school and work, everything else went very well.

Saturday I had to drive my youngest brother to Mansfield for his baseball tournament. I made sure that I was at my parents house early to pick him up and have plenty of time to get there, but he apparently had other plans. We wound up leaving with just enough tme to get there and then after we had been on the road for about ten minutes, he told me that he forgot his cleats. So we made our way back to the house, got his shoes, and started back on our way again. I knew that he was going to be late now and sure enough, he was, and didn't have any time to warm up with the rest of the team. Anyway, the fields there in Mansfield are really cool. The place is called Field of Dreams. The fields were smaller replicas of of MLB fields such as Wrigley, Ebotts, Fenway... Even though his team lost both of their games, it was still a cool park to play at. That evening I went with my sister to some dirt track out in Crandall to watch crazy redneck people "race", I would prefer to call it wreck. It wasn't too bad, but I would have prefered to gome home after it was over instead of going into the it area for another 30 minutes.

Sunday I pretty much did homework and cleaning all day. But then in the evening I headed back to my parents house because my sister wanted someone to go to the movies with to see Stop-Loss. We wound up missing the 7:30 show and the next showing wasn't until 10:30. To burn the time, I spent some time playing with my brothers outside taking pictures and attempting to skateboard. It was really funny but fun at the same time. My sister and I made it to the 10:30 movie and got out a little after midnight. It was actually a much better movie than I expected it to be. I dropped my sister off at home and then began my own drive back to the apartment. I had to call Carmen though, I had been thinking about her all day and really missed talking to her not talking to her. We talked the entire drive home and then all the way to about 2am, or maybe a little longer. It was very comforting to talk to her.

Monday was pretty much the same as any weekday, nothing special. School then work and then of course talking to Carmen in the evening. We have been having more and more frequent phone conversations lately, but am certainly not going to complain about it. Because I don't get to see her, hearing her voice is the closest I can be to her.

Yesterday was very much the same as Monday, school, work and Carmen. Only difference was that my my classes were different and I didn't have a phone conversation, only an IM conversation with Carmen. Another thing was also a little different, I found out that my roommate will be moving May 18th and so I will need to start looking for a new place to live also. That shouldn't be so hard though. Another thing was a little different with Carmen too. She told me that she want to be mine and only mine, and I gave her that she can have that under one condition... I want it to be that way forever. I honestly believe now that if there was anyone that I want to get married to, it is her and no one else.
