Fall is here!

I started this blog when I was traveling as a way of updating my friends with what I was doing.  As I'm not traveling right now, my life is not interesting enough to blog about thus the lack of updates.  I don't want this blog to completely die, so here I go.

I love fall.  I always have.  There's something about the feeling in the air that I associate with fond memories.  I love fall clothing, especially the jackets, and there's always joy in breaking those out.

Also, for some reason, fall makes me want to listen to John Mayer's Heavier Things album.  Not that I don't listen to Mayer all the time anyway, but Heavier Things comes into the rotation far more frequently.

This year, I've already started making some great fall memories.  This weekend for instance, Laura and I went down to Franklin to watch the sun set behind the Natchez Trace Bridge and enjoy the wonderful weather.  Then Saturday, a group of us went out to Walden's Pumpkin Farm and bought pumpkins to carve (we also ate some fantastic caramel apples).

God has also been shaking up things Community Group wise.  Last year, I co-led a group of my close friends.  In reality, my co-leader Brett actually led more and I just helped him.  Every fall, the leaders of Inversion relaunch community groups, adding people and starting new groups as necessary.  This year, it became apparent that our group was going to be too large to be effective.  What has since happened is that my roommate Taylor and I have split off from our old group and are co-leading the group of new guys.

It has been an interesting change.  I miss the group that I had become so close with over the last couple years terribly.  Yet even before I met the new guys, I felt a God given excitement for the opportunity to lead this new group.  Now having spent a good amount of time with the new group, I feel very fortunate, humbled, and glad to be leading this group and call these guys my friends.  I'm so excited to see what God's going to do through this group.

In other news, I registered for my senior recital last Monday.  Everything that I've been working so hard for here at Belmont will culminate on February 27, 2009 at 10AM.  It's exciting, but extremely scary as I realize how much work I have to do on it.  It's going to be very cool though if I can pull off everything that I want to.

That's all I've got for now.  Hopefully I won't do too many posts that just tell what my life is like and I'll actually have some interesting content.  For now though, I just wanted to write.
