Destin was the destination

So that sad time finally came where we had to leave Destin. I am so glad to be home but I already miss those ocean waves.Never did I imagine that I would just get in a car and drive with 3 of my friends to Florida. God extremely blessed us on this trip and I can't thank him enough for it. We got up this morning and left a little after 6. Katie and I both slept for awhile then woke up in Alabama because Russ ended up getting pulled over for speeding. He was fortunate and got away with a warning. We were back on the road again. It was a really long trip but I can't complain to much since I got to sleep a bunch on the way home. We made it to back to Katie's house about 6:30. Her parents got Imo's pizza for us. My St. Louis experience is evidently complete according to Katie because when I visited in January she said I had to try it. We said goodbye to Katie then were off to Russ's to switch to my vehicle. We said good bye and loaded our stuff up. Thank you Russ's mom if you read this tonight for everything! Kaci and I made it back to my house a little before 11 which was great considering our estimated arrival time as we were leaving this morning was midnight. It's so funny when I have people text on my phone like I made Kaci text on the way home because they don't like to actually push the letters since my phone is not a touch screen. Kaci did a good job texting back people with no problems. My parents were already asleep when I got home so I woke up quick to let them know I was home and gave them each a hug then waited with Kaci until her mom and Brett got there. I gave Brett his birthday present which was the same thing he gave me for mine this year lol. If you recall back to Nov 5th's blog it was a box with random things including a packet of mustard X(. lol. So overall on my Florida trip I learned that Illinois still smells, adults in Florida are really nice however most college students there only care about themselves, Russ would be the funniest professional golfer ever, Kaci has white hair like a grandpa's (I didn't get to mention the story behind this last night but a little kid saw her with a towel on her head and told his grandpa that she had hair like his :P), Katie could tell you what calligraphy is but sometimes gets confused on punctuation and I probably act like a mom more than anyone in the group but this doesn't stop from jumping on the hotel bed and building a sand castle outside :). Tonight's question is what are you always carrying around with you? I usually always have my cell phone on me and a camera of some kind. If I am at school I am carrying my student id. I did get a lot of bible reading done as well today. Well I am off to bed, good night! :)
