Good to be Home.

Today was essentially perfect.

Asheville is amazing. God greatly blessed me when he decided to place me here.
Just walking around downtown was lovely. I ran into so many people I haven't spoken to in years, and it was so awesome. Catching up with people is so good.
It's such a good scene to be in. Such a good place to get coffee and experience your life.
The weather was just incredible. It was chilly, but the sun was out and so if you walked in the sun you could keep warm.
As a whole, the people here are incredible. There are so many talented individuals walking the streets, displaying their artistic abilities.
Just randomly greeting people with a "Happy Thanksgiving" makes my heart so happy.

How can I doubt anything when there is so much good and beauty in my own backyard?

I'll sing your praise.

It is completely impossible to describe how I am feeling at this exact moment.

It is the strangest mixture of distinct joy, extreme tiredness, bitter disappointment, lovely contentment, and longing for something so much more then this world holds for me.

I haven't felt this emotional in the longest times. It's building and building and the dam will soon burst. I am so thankful. I am so thankful. God is good, all the time.

Since first hearing "Skinny Love", I haven't had a song that I am absolutely enthralled with. That song has now come in the form of "Worth Keeping" by the everybodyfields. I saw them live over this past weekend, and though I had heard the song before the show, I was just in astounded with how awesome it is. I mean come on, "Take your hands out of your pockets and hold me".. romance doesn't get much more needful then that..Jill Andrews has vocals that will slay your soul. Her voice is so pure, sensitive, and compassionate. You can hear the sadness in her voice at some points. Sam Quinn's voice is remarkable as well. It fits right along with his eccentric personality. The two's chemistry on stage is unmatchable. The entire band is quirky, and really enjoy playing their "alt-country" music.

It's the fifth of Novemeber, 2008. I've changed my major and selected classes for next semester. There's going to be a new president.
My, how the time flies.
