The Beautiful Letdown

Today I had to say good-bye to Tim today. Its never an easy thing. It got a little drawn out and it always comes to the point where I just want to hop in the car and drive off. Drive away and escape the emotions, the sorrow, the heartache.

We did have a great time though. I hooked up with Matt and Kalyn at NCU and headed over to the MoA to meet up with SCMC. It was great fun when as soon as I saw Tim, I ran full tilt to tackle him. Ka, Matt and I had a great time mall walking with Tim and Cousin Matt. We all sang every FIF song we could think of to sing. We also looked at some awesome "As Seen On TV" products. While we waited for everyone at the end of the night up on the forth floor, Tim and I slap boxed a bit and learned some new dance moves.

Afterwards Ka and I followed Matt Zimmer and Tim to Crossroads. Matt is insane, he hasn't lived there since he was like ten but he still knows how to get there. Met SCMC at the church and then followed them over to Matt Lopez's. That was fun except I don't think Big Z was happy. He wanted more alone time with Tim, which is perfectly understandable. I loved it though because by some turn of events we started singing a couple "family songs" at Lopez's. We sang Kalyn's favorite, the farmer song, and The Poor Old Slave. I love that, singing together, it makes me happy.

I, of course, stayed the night with Tim and SCMC. The church put us up in the empty parsonage down the street. Wednesday morning and early afternoon we spent cleaning the church and both of their buses. Fun stuff. They ran out of things for us to do so we were back to the house by around two. Lovebeat, Tim, Lopez, Aaron and I drove over to Lopez's to do some laundry and run errands. Fun times except that Pastor Kyle was a little upset that we weren't back by a certain time even though he never told us we had to be back by said time.

Wednesday night service was awesome! Real serious service over all, but we got to do a fun skit in the beginning, though that did get a little messed up by a random youth kid who came on stage. Pastor Kyle was in top shape bringing it all together in the end. Good Job! But, ya know, hey, when someone compliments you, just say thanks. Pastor Kyle needs to work on that a little bit, me thinks.

After church the family including Matt went out for supper at Applebees. That was fun. I don't remember much of what we talked about but it was fun. Tim had his usual debate about getting the oriental chicken bowl. He gets it every time we go to Applebees and every time he still doesn't like it. This time he amazingly got something different, I think it was ribblettes. I don't think he even liked those though. Tim can be a very picky eater.

After dinner we went over to Lopez's to join everyone else. This gave mom a chance to really meet everyone else on Tim's team, though I think she would have like a bit more family time. It was a fun time though. We sang lots of family songs, they showed us Thizz Face, and it was especially funny when Tim and Aaron did something they call Baby Huey. Mom laughed so hard. Since it was already about one in the morning Mom and Peter decided just to drive home that night.

I again stayed the night with Tim and peeps at the parsonage. That was some good ol' times. Tamara and I stayed up late talking while Christina fell asleep right away...again. I didn't really get to talk all that much with Christina this time. While I was in Las Vegas I got along with Christina well and didn't really talk with Tamara at all there. Funny how that works. In the morning I was a bit disappointed to find that Tim had gone with Matt to get the oil changed for the van. But maybe that was a good thing, to take away some of those awkward, painful moments before we had to part ways.
