Easter Fun

Well it was my first weekend after moving to here in Virginia. Oh, and for those of you who don't know, I did take the job in Virginia Beach. I moved up here last weekend and have spent most of that time getting used to my new job. So far I think I'll like it. It allows me to IVF again so in that respect I'm happy. As for my free time, I spend it trying to find friends here to hang out with. An endeavor that I have yet to be very successful in as of yet. So since I hadn't made any friends here in VA Beach I was looking at the prospect of spending Easter by myself this weekend, however my aunt, whom live four hours away came to the rescue.

I hadn't seen my aunt for nearly three years and now she's just a short drive away so once she invited me I was more than happy to go see her. It was a nice trip down. I got to meet her significant other, who I must say is freaking awesome. The man gave me his iPhone that he won. He didn't like it and thus gave it to me. So now I have the phone that I dreamed of having for FREE!! Now I just have to get it activated and then I can enjoy the fun of having the coolest kick ass phone ever.

I must say that getting the iPhone was the high light of my weekend however I did do something interesting as well while I visited my aunt. I did something that I haven't done in nearly 5 years. I went to church. I know, it's a miracle!!! Well not really, but still as any of you that know me you know you can't drag my atheist ass to a service. Lets be clear about while I went. I didn't want to be saved and i wasn't looking to god for direction or any of that. It was very simply the fact that my aunt's significant other plays the guitar for the church band and I decided to go since i was there for the company in the first place and didn't feel like staying alone in their condo while they were at church.

Now while I swear I felt my skin start singeing as I walked in the church, I must say that going to this non denominational church was an experience. I mean I experienced so much in the 1.5 hours I was there that it was hard for me to take it all in. Actually, I experienced so much it was hard for me not to laugh out loud. I mean they had a girl dance ballet, and while she danced very well, I didn't understand the significance. I saw a play put on by teens where they lip-synced to music and killed ninjas... again didn't see the significance. I saw a guy break down in the middle of the isle, praise Jesus, and cry his eyes out. But best of all I heard a testimonial about God communicated to a family through the cunning used of fortune cookies not once but twice!!!! Amazing how the word of God, like fortune cookies, can be so vague in their prophecies to nearly be able to encompass any situation at any time in your life.

All in all it was an experience to remember, but I've had my fill of Jesus and the Holy Ghost for another five years if not more.
