Woke up right at 9, when I was supposed to be picking up my friend Laramie, on base. Thankfully, it didn't take long to get there... and they hadn't started yet anyway. Sang great songs, and the teaching continued in Titus. My friend Jenny made the feast for the fellowship hall... chicken enchilada casserole! Yum!
And after dropping Laramie back at base, I headed to the library for a good few hours. They were a little behind... did biographies, graphic novels, and all the children's movies.
And then we all had a wonderful small group time at Luke & Christine's. Read all of part 3, and had lovely conversation, along with our nachoes. :)
And back at home, Mike and I had a wonderful three-hour marathon chat on the phone. So very fun! How I love him!

A Sunday To Remember
Well, I woke up very early... 5:15 to be exact. It's because of that 4 hour nap...
I was hungry, so I decided to go have my usual at Denny's. Except I had yogurt instead of sausage, along with the eggs, toast & oatmeal (unfortunately, they were out of brown sugar, so I used regular sugar). I slept a bit more when I got back to my room, woke up before it was time to go to church, so I started sewing the NAVY patch onto my new coveralls.
Church was wonderful: the pastor was back, he gave a good little sermon about the woman at the well, and then there was a massive feast of spaghetti, pizza, salad & garlic bread afterwords. Apparently, they have a big spread once every few months. I got to visit with a few ladies before I headed back to base.
Finished the NAVY patch, then went volunteering for 3 hours at the library, only doing videos and audio books. From there I had some Chinese for an early dinner, and then went to try and get tickets for Breakfast at Tiffany's at the outdoor theater. But they were sold out... Still in the mood for a movie, I decided to check out Hillcrest Cinemas (where my parents and I saw Jane Eyre) for anything interesting. Midnight in Paris sounded good, but it didn't start for another hour. I went exploring, and found 5th Ave Books... a great used book store that I had noticed while getting to the cinema. It was so organized! And what selection! I used my entire hour there... found a book called Swamp Fox about Gen. Francis Marion, and another book about Narnia... "A Field Guide to Narnia", published in England, and very interesting.
Goodness, the movie was fun! The latest from Woody Allen, and the first movie I really liked Owen Wilson in. :) It was all about nostalgia... a modern-day writer who was in love with the 1920's. It had good things to say about people like that, and was fun to watch. Half-way through I guessed all the plot lines, but that didn't bother me very much at all. The movie opened with a few minutes of classic jazz music and scenes of Paris; I thought, "I'm gonna love this movie." And I did.
The popcorn and lemonade were very good too. :)

Well, the library issue got resolved. I suppose I'll just have to wait a few days before I go back to campus to check the stuff out.
Last night the family watched 'The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn' from Netflix. JBL is as great as ever; he has some pretty comical and meaningful scenes. It was filmed right after WENN in 1999.
On that note, 'The Last Confederate', from a few nights ago, turned out to be less than what I expected. It was very disjointed and had many emotional scenes that I was unable to connect to. (However, I enjoyed Bob Dorian's and Mickey Rooney's performances. They did fabulously) But I can't tell you much about the main characters beyond their names and very little of what they did.
Today, I have homework for the first time in over 2 years. Reality about schoolwork seems to be settling in just nicely.
