new post after a long break - so sorry for the long post

--------------
-saturday 2/18/06 - Aaron picked me up around 1:30pm for us to head down to Philly to hangout with Matt Ruffner. we got there around 3:30 i think.. then about 20minutes later Trostle showed up so it was better than expected. Zeke was really shy... i'm thinkin cuz he knew who we were and recognized us but since we hadn't been around for a good while he was really shy.. almost as if he knew he could do alot (like talk alot and stuff but didn't want to cuz he was shy and all). it was fun tho. we went to the store to get some snacks.. such as sardines, chips and drink (we already had cheese and crackers)... so then we came back to the house.. ate the snacks while talking... then we moved a desk down to the basement.... then played Monopoly while Jeanna, Zeke and her family went out to eat.. i actually did fairly well in this game of Monopoly.. I was in till the end.. ended up being just me and Aaron playing at the end and he ended up winning. ahh well it was good... i was kinda surprised that i didn't win cuz i thought i was going to. then it was getting late.. after 10pm... but we still went to Wendy's (Matt, Aaron and I) and picked up food for Jeanna as well.. then came back to the house and ate it. then we eventually headed out after midnight.
-sunday 2/19/06 - went to church @ UCF (both Duane and Kris spoke sorta... i liked it)... then 6 of us from church went out to eat at Pizza Hut in Columbia... normally i wouldn't have wanted to go to Pizza Hut at all cuz the grease on their pizza seems to be way to much that i normally can only eat 1 slice of their pizza but this time i was very very surprised... i actually ate 4 slices and didn't mind it or anything... the 6 of us was Kyle, Duane Schuing, Dave Dietz, Andrew, Lori and I. i was riding with Kyle so we stopped by his house.. then he brought me back to my car in Millersville.. then I came home... got home around 3pm.. around 4pm I went over to Jason Gatchells... hungout.. Wendy came over... watched the Daytona 500 till the end... talked some.. hungout, watched tv.. then we went to a small bar in Lancaster till about 1am.. I was riding with them so i couldn't exactly leave early.. but yea then we went back to Jasons and then I went home.
