leavin on a jet plane

so can i start of by saying im on an airplane sitting on the way the Athens GA, which i could not be more excited about. athens is one of my favorite places simply because i have some great friends there, and by the end of these few days i hope to have many more! so on top of this im in the exit row(which is awesome, im normally stuck between the two biggest people on the plane, and behind some little kid who puts the seat all the way back and crushes my knees, but today im free and can almost dance around with all this room, its great) i have over the rhine filling my ears and im writing to you guys(ive always wanted to blog on a plane) so thats the setup....
december 16th is on my top 5 days of the year. it started at midnight havin fun talkin with jordan as i shoved way to much stuff in this awesome suitcase i found at jeff and deborahs, (i mean its amazing, it was a wedding gift they received like 30 years ago,hahaha, well not that long ago but its so cool its a samsonite and it been like everywhere. so starting now im gonna do a photo series on it and i think ill call it moving me) so as we packed and talked and laughed, we quickly realized it was getting late and we both had to get up early. but, we had a blast and it was well worth the missed sleep. so after my semi late night i work up to a cold room, you know the kind that make you run to the shower and want to stay ther all day(i love those). so it has been pretty cold in vegas lately so i add a hoodie layer to normal tee shirt and jacket wardrobe, and because of the cold ive also had o start wearing sox, which im not a big fan of( i mean i always lose one or travis steals my good ones so i just started a boycott) so i grab my things and headed out the door to my windowless jeep(if you know where my windows are please give the back im freezing!!!!!) and headed to work. i am super lucky and get to live in a nice part of the city pushed right up against the mountains to the south of the city, so i have an incredible view of the las vegas valley from my house. due to all the cold weather weve been having and the rain yesterday the mountains all around the valley where covered in snow. it was beautiful,it was as if God was just like good morning, have you noticed how AMAZING i am lately(like on a God sized billboard you know) so i get to work early and sit down to talk to Jesus and read a bit, and read about john the baptist and how he was so humble, even though he was the man, and how he wanted with his whole life to scream that Jesus is on the way. so on this day john is teaching and to some people when Jesus shows up to get baptisted. like right then john tells all his followers to leave him, and follow Jesus. I want to be able to do that, to tell the people that I have influence over to leave me behind and go after Jesus with all they have(wow). so when I got done I went in to prayer (I work at this great church and we all meet every morning for 30 mins or so and we pray, simply becuase without for Jesus we are totally incappable of anything good) so after prayer my and my partner in crime and cubical mate Scott had a great conversation about the bible and Jesus and dumb things Christians phreakout and get pissed at each other about, man I love Scott and how he pushes me to love God more. so then I had to do some stuff to get ready for the weekend because I wasn't gonna be there. then went to lunch at jasons deil and had a Sargent Peper, which is a great sandwhich along with a fabulous beatles song. then it was off tto the airport, to head to athens to see pretty much one of the most phenomenal people in the world frankie nicole porter. she is an old friend from swat, who is a just crazy and fun and artsy and loves Jesus incredibly.
while in athens i will get, for the first time really, to meet frankies friends, and can i say that im alittle nervous. i mean we kinda got off on the wrong foot to start with due to a little musical misunderstanding,hahaha, but in the last week a few of her friends have emailed me that they are super excited about me comin and cant wait to meet me, so im gonna do my best to live up to the hype.......

but I just landed and I have to go meet Frankie, and i stupid excited!!!
I'll talk to you in a bit, I have to go see her and complete my awesome day, but don't worry I'll finish this I promise, im sure ill have lots of great stories to tell tomorrow
