oh what a week...

well, in a matter of 1 week, i've done the following...

I was a shepherd in one of the largest Christmas/Live Nativity/Walk through thingy's ever...Journey to Bethlehem. It was amazing. With over 12,000 people walking through this thing over a span of 4 nights, it simply broke me. I have never seen such a sight in all of my life. I mean, it was amazing. I was in awe as I walked through the trail for the first time ever. It was probably one of the best things i've gotten to do while on my internship.

I traveled to Hannibal, twice this week. Once on Sunday for my dad's side of the family to have their Christmas. It was good to see my cousins and dad's side of the family because I haven't gotten to see them in almost a year. It was kinda weird though. Everyone else in "countryish" attire while i walked in with a nice button down dress shirt and my suit jacket...now, noting that i drove straight from church sunday morning to visit them and then drive straight back to be there in time for Journey...the second trip to Hannibal was made on Thursday. My uncle on my mom's side of the family flew in from NY City. So we had our Christmas together. Oh my grandparents are great. Just a snipit of what how they crack me up:
Grandma "Josh, did you sleep alright in the recliner?"
Me "yeah, after i got comfortable"
Grandma "oh good, well, i just lay there, put the blanket over me and sleep and say don't wake me up unless my kids are sick or the world is about to end"
Grandpa "i don't wake her up...she's ugly if you wake her up"

Oh what a trip it was. Oh and I went to Mason City to Super Dave's this past Monday. Let's just say, it was good to see everyone again, but man, i paid for being out too late on Monday night/Tuesday Morning....goin on 4 hours of sleep, i dragged myself into the office on Tuesday...

Tonight I went ice skating for the first time ever!!!! It is possible that i've found my new calling in life...now let me explain to you that i pretty much did amazing at my first time skating...i didn't fall down once! and i only held onto the side railing about 1/4 of the way around my first time...so i pretty much had an amazing time and by the last time i went around i was going as fast as everyone else was going....and it was fast! I see gold medals in the future!

Ah, this week was amazing...next week is gonna involve the zoo and maybe another trip to Forest Park to go ice skating...we shall see....
