Probably The Best Birthday Weekend Ever

You know,

Reflecting on this weekend, I have realized that this is probably the best birthday weekend I have ever had. It is not about the material goods, honestly it has never been about that, but really the people made a difference. For one having over 160 people wish me happy birthday was great; knowing that that many people if not more care about me. It shows that I am at least doing something right in my life. To top it off I had the best weekend in my life, and I spent it with some of the best people I know. For the first time in 20 years I spent my birthday away from home, now of course I miss my people at home, but this was an experience that I needed. It is a part of growing up. One of my favorite things this weekend was spending time with the teaching fellows here at CSU. We had a great cookout/sleep over on Friday night filled with games, food, and movies. It was great spending quality time with these people. I care about them greatly, and I feel that they too feel the same way. I don't think words can describe the feelings I felt with them, and these are not perverse feelings or anything like that, but a feeling of truly being understood. I love entertaining people, cooking for people, and just talking and spending time with people and this was a great bonding experience. Then Saturday night, spending time with my fraternity brothers and some of the sisters, well I would not trade that experience. I honestly know that it was meant for me to join PKP, and for once I feel like I belong. This is important, because it has been hard for me to gain that feeling. It's good having a group of guys that I can spiritually bond with, as well as enjoy being around and doing whatever. Even if that is just playing video games or talking. And today, getting to go to dinner with the teaching fellows, and take pictures and fellowship was nice. I feel like we are growing closer together as a group which is great, and I have been developing bonds with many people in that group. Then after that, going to applebees with some of my closest friends, just because to hang out and be together, how could I even want to trade that experience. It is nice being able to grow close to people without the fear of being hurt or rejected, being able to be myself, and just hang out. So thats why I say it was probably the best birthday weekend of my life this weekend!

Love you guys,
