It was New Year’s Eve, and of course the guys came over in the afternoon…I had been working on a little video for the guys of the things that had happened during Christmas break, so I wasn’t able to entertain the guys and Marla was doing something on her computer and so she wasn’t able to entertain them either…so they played two man “Ah Shucks” and generally amused themselves. Soon Marla joined them and I continued to work on, I knew that I should have gotten up earlier, but as usual underestimated how long this would actually take. While the video/mini movie was rendering/saving I joined in with their game. I didn’t do so well on this game…but that was alright. When the video was done rendering, I had them watch it…I guess that they enjoyed it, I mean I didn’t really ask…but Mitch wanted me to burn him a copy of it. And I told him that I would at some point and send it to him.
The guys suggested that we walked back with them to the Pastors house for supper…we agreed that it would be fun. So we started out and what do you know it started to rain…what a shocker. We got to walk in the rain…Marla was soaked before we were even into town. We stopped at the Movie Rental store so that the guys could pick up a funny movie for the Pastor. Then we continued on…Mitch wanted to beat Jay and Marla to the house, but I reminded him that I would not be running in flip flops in the rain…that is like an accident waiting to happen. He said that we would just walk faster…it didn’t really work, we only past them when I gave Jay a huge guilt trip for leaving Marla behind…(Mitch tried to run past Jay and Jay raced him)…When we got the house no one was home…Mitch climbed up to the second story to see if their bedroom window was open, but it wasn’t…so he climbed back down and we waited for the Pastor and his family to come back…Jay went to the church to see if he could get the house key from the Pastor…come to find out the hide-a-key was in the flower pot.
After we ate, we had to walk back to the school to be back in time for the New Year’s Eve concert thing that the youth were putting on. We caught a ride with John and Kat. Once at the gym we sat down near the front and waited for the thing to start. While we waited Mitch showed me some of the pictures he had so far taken…I find it fun to look at other people’s pictures…it is a nice change from looking at my own.
The program was nice, I only had a problem with one song…the youth sang Feliz Navidad, which is a Spanish song wishing you a Merry Christmas, well they changed the English part to say “I wish you a Happy New Year” which really didn’t make sense at all. We laughed about it for quite some time…But I was very happy when the program was over…I was so tired of sitting.
Marla had left earlier in the program…when it was over Jay and I walked back to the apartment. Jay and Marla wanted to play card games, but Mitch and I were being “boring” cause we were reading. Mitch was reading my Zits comic book and I was reading 1776 (a very good book by the way) and I was getting moody, cause I knew that the guys were leaving in the morning and I didn’t want them to go. I don’t know why Mitch was quite, he just was. So midnight came and went…and we didn’t do anything special to welcome it in.
As the boys were leaving early that morning, we told them that we would see them off at the airport the next day…with that they left.
