Well… the first full day of the new year is officially in the can. I surprised some friends and spent it in Houston, TX. (Khang, Leah, and Chris – here are your complimentary tags.) It was a blast.
I partied (and by that I mean boardgames, fireworks-watching, and Denny’s) until three or four in the morning. What a party animal, huh?! Woke up about two this afternoon (discipline is obviously not one of my new year’s resolutions) and headed to the Baybrook Mall in an effort to buy an new pair of shoes. It didn’t work out so well. I got nothing, but Khang did pick up a sweet-smelling blend of green tea from Teavana.
After that, it was on to Leah’s house for some unwind time before hitting up the AMC Theatre for a little bit of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” I liked this one a whole lot. You definitely have to be a Tim Burton fan. It was weird and bloody, but I can honestly say that I’ve never seen anything like it before. Definitely worth a shot – even if you don’t finish it.
Sat at IHOP for a while, ate some never-ending pancakes (which ended pretty swiftly after they swelled in mi estomago), and laughed until I almost threw up. I would say that it was a good way to cap off a great day. Now I’m sitting in bed about to buy some of my books online for the spring semester (not so much fun).
So… thanks, Leah, for letting me spend new year’s at your house and with your family. Thanks, Sarah, for giving really good directions. Thanks, Chris, for a comfortable bed and not waking me up before noon. Thanks, Khang, for driving everywhere and making me laugh when I needed to the most.
I go tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon to meet my two new brothers. I’m still not sure how to process that thought. I do know that in spite of my immaturity and stubbornness that God is still good and blessing me greatly today.
