This past weekend Corey and I went to Carrollton, Georgia.  It was a great trip!  The area is interesting to say the least.  Here's a taste...

This week was Missions Emphasis Week at MACU.  We had several guest missionaries speak in chapel and share what they have been doing on the field and the need for others to spread God's word.  Last night was ethnic food night.  Here's a few shots from our fellowshipping!

The spread.  Yum!

No longer in my "ethnic" garb, but it's my blog so here's a pic of me :)

A picture of Corey and Matt playing footsie.  Why?  One can only guess.

Tisk tisk Matthew.

Corey and I just got back yesterday from a brief trip to Ohio.  Our friend Lolly got married on Saturday so we took a few days to attend the wedding and visit with family.  During our trip, we drove through the local park.  The fall colors were amazing!

Of course we brought Gerome with us.

 

And Corey put my camera to good use.

  

 

 

Day 70 of 100

Tuesday my friend Rich called me and to brighten my day shared 5 random facts about himself that I hadn't known 5 minute prior.  Later that evening while out with friends, we all shared 5 random facts.  It was fun and since my blog has been lacking (but understandably so) this week, I thought I would share in this game here as well.

1- I will pick a piece of skin off my heel and then chew on it.  Gross, I know.  But I like biting into things, particularly with my vampire fangs.

2- When I was young, I accidentally stabbed my brother in the head with a pencil.  The doctors left some of it in his head and you can still feel it.

3- I have a tendency to smell stuff, even if I know it will smell disgusting.

4- I like to drive four-wheelers really fast.

5- Once when I was visiting my grandmother in PA and we had a heavy snow.  As the sun came out, there was a chunk of snow left in our yard that seemed to refuse to melt.  I would check on it every few hours to see if relented to the heat, but it never did.  Finally I got sick of waiting and went to the chunk only to discover it was a fluff of stuffing. 

O and here's a random pic :)

Day 69 of 100

Last week Corey's dad was here visiting.  He has a tradition with his friends to spend a week at the Outer Banks.  We spent one evening at the beach house chilling by the pool, making and eating an amazing dinner, playing cards, and generally just taking it easy.  We also went to the beach, but the water was intense.  Corey had a blast playing in the waves.

 

I enjoyed the ocean from the shore.  The sea foam was crazy!

Day 68 of 100

For my "birthday", Corey gave me several books by Keri Smith.  The book I am currently completing is titled This is Not a Book.  These books are more like journals full of bizarre missions.  One of my assignments was to make a paper boat and float it. Another was to make a page in the book annoying.  One assignment was to write messages in the book back and forth with another person.  I decided that I would share my This is Not a Book experience with Elizabeth Vahey and include her in the awesome weirdness that is this book.  The first page she completed instructed her to hold the book above her head for as long as possible.  She went exactly 30 minutes (she could have gone longer but she got bored).  Her next assignment was to fill out a secret identiy profile (which was amazing) and return it to me "wearing page 31."

Love it!

Day 67 of 100

After my birthday celebration, a group of us went to the blimp factory and I experienced star tripping for the first time.

Start Tripping consists of looking up at one star, spinning around in fast circles, and then someone flashing a light in your face.  Because you are dizzy, your equilibrium is all thrown off.  Because of the flash, you can't see.  These two things combined result in you falling over.

Some of my friends were able to run a good distance before toppling.  Corey on the other hand couldn't make it one step.  Truth be told, I couldn't make it far either.

We discovered that the pictures and experience was better when one flashed themselves.  Unfortunately, I still only got a picture of the top of my head.

 

Last night for the freshmen/sophomore social we went start tripping.  I was hesitant to participate because when I went on my "birthday" I was dizzy the rest of the night.  I caved to peer pressure.  Before I began spinning, I threw my keys to Rob Shields.  I thought he was looking directly at me, but I was mistaken and my keys hit him directly in the face.  I felt so terrible!!!  Beyond that, my second star tripping experience was a success.  Again I spun, again I was flashed, and again I fell.  While I was recovering on the ground, Christian Mullis took his turn.  Dizzy and blinded, he stumbled right into the Pasquatank River.  Epic ending to the social.
