The Last Hurah...

So... a lot has happened since i last posted... but that makes sense, since i haven't posted since march... but i told a couple of people that i would post on friday but i was a little busy with work... as luck would have it i got up fro work this morning and there was a message on my phone that i didn't need to come in... so i thought... what better time to sit down and write a post...

A few weeks ago, the guys from my church and i went backpacking... we didn't go far or even to a place we hadn't been before... we went a few miles and hiked maybe a half a mile into the woods to a site we had camped at before but it held meaning to some of us so we returned again... last year around the same time, maybe a few weeks earlier, we made the same trip with a different group of guys... Sam, Andrew, Evan, and myself went last year... later joined by kyle and his inflatable queen sized air matress... it was treated as a kind of last hurrah for Evan who would be leaving for the navy in a few short weeks... i miss you buddy, sorry this is a couple days late... this year i couldn't tell from anyone else but i kind of felt that it was that last hurrah for Andrew who left and moved to the twin cities on thursday... i mean we hung out and everything after that but i get the feeling that Andrew was treating this as the last big thing he was going to do with the church guys before leaving... now i don't really know where i am going with this other than to say that it was cool to be a part of the last hurrah for my two best friends... and i want to say that i love you guys, and i miss you both... andrew, hope to hear from you this afternoon... evan, good to talk to you the other day buddy... i hope to hear from you both again soon... you guys are my brothers... this post is for you...
