Sunday

Today a lot of my thoughts have been put at ease. There has been so many moving parts twisting, turning, and winding in my life all at once. I hurt my back last week, this led me to miss part of an exam that was overlooked and not counted against me. Next, leading to a profile forbidding me from physical training at the army standard for three weeks, thus, making me exempt from my final phyisical fitness test here at d.l.i. I have felt a lack of friendship lately, and this has brought me down along with all that has been going on. I have found that even if I don't always have someone to talk to, I want to always be there for others who may feel the same. I am thankful for my family, sometimes it feels as though they aren't there but today I was able to talk to all of them. I was able to attend church today with the Streeters. I have always found them to be good company, Leana made catfish and it was awesome. They introduced me to arrested development. I might have to start watching it, it seems good. Family is a good thing, I never really had family until i became married. My friend Ryan is trying to fly out to Monterey to see me either this weekend or next weekend and my Mom is flying out for my graduation from the french course. I am having my next tattoo drawn up and i should be able to see the outline of it wednesday. It will be a tree expressing all four seasons, to the right of the tree will be a saying "cette vie n'est rien moins de belle" meaning this life is nothing short of beautiful. I am officially in my final week of class, then we are on "Finals" status until graduation. It has been a wonderful sunday. I slept in, finished my laundry, relaxed, attended all of church, spoke with my inlaws and my wife, was invited to the streeters for dinner and got to say goodnight to my little mckenzie. Endurance is the word of the day, many trials will come to pass, many after another at times but enduring until the end we will learn and strengthen our spirits to become closer to god. I will suffer many trials in my life, and i will endure it because I know the outcome if i do.
