Roommates

So, those who know me closely know that I have moved near downtown kc.

I have to say that I have two awesome roommates. They're both Christian, and they both are pretty laid back like myself. Tonight we all just hung out and watch the Texas vs. Texas Tech game and chatted about whatever. It's finally great to be able to do that in my own home without feeling pressured to.

Although I just met these two cats, I have to say it's much easier to talk to them because we all share the same morals and values. I can't even begin to tell you how the past year I was involved in such a secular lifestyle and people that contradicted a lot of what I stood for.

I've had my share of mediocre roommates, and if I did have a choice and the money available, I'd probably live by myself. But this is the first time I've lived with people who are actively living a Christian lifestyle, so it's refreshing to say the least. In other news...I've met a wonderful girl.

I'll talk about her more later I'm sure, but it is completely, completely amazing how one person makes you forget about everything else that is wrong with the world.

It's almost as if all the drama, and let-downs from other people never existed at all. I just want to remain in this spot forever. Freaking amazing, you think about all the wasted emotion you spend on things - but when you can apply it to something or someone who appreciates it, it makes the whole world seem that much brighter. I feel free, I feel at peace, and I am loved.

One of my friends told me the other day, "we support you Lonnie". Hah, I just about cried. In a world where people are fickle, and friendships are more counterfeit than anything...a person who declares something like that and means it- invaluable.

I had a pre-emancipation party with my good friends Behnaz, Allyson, Justin, and one of my best friends Kyle. Here are some pictures from that night.

Was totally a great time, and I am awesomely addicted to Houlihan's "shrooms" they were huge.

Next time I'll write about New York, or at least show some pictures of myself around times square - it pretty much was a life long dream come true, in the sense that I got to actually pose in front of times square. I didn't get to see the naked cowboy, but i did ride the subway and meet some interesting people.

So I'm headed back to Wichita this week again, I went last week and met up with my friend Tim and his wife. They took me to this small italian pizzaria which was freaking fantastic.

Sometimes I have to stop and Thank God with how blessed I am. Through the mist of my tribulations I have found a shining light that reinforces who I am and what he is capable of bringing me through.

I have so much to look forward to. I suppose it took weeding out everything that was holding me back.

Next time, New york pictures....
