Junior Year and counting

This tends to be the year I forget the most, so we will see what happens!

• The first year out of the dorms
• The first year I moved into the Mount
• Roomates: Kenny Hiser, Nate Reed, Chris Wilburn, Mike Breza, and Pete Emerick
• Playing call of Duty 3 with pete, harrison, and Mike constantly – capture the flag at verdun
• Became close friends with Adam Hoff and Mike Webb
• Went to Ohio State for football game with Pete
• Weekly Sunday Mount meetings began, as a house we met once a week to openly discuss grievances, how we’ve been doing, and we prayed for each other
• I perfected the chicken quesadilla
• Spring break: went on road trip with Adam Hoff. first to Nashville, TN. drove straight through the night. then to middle of no where SC to stay at a cabin on a lake. It was awesome. I love road trips and this one was top 3. broke into tennis courts, had dinner at blues bar, hiked trails in sight of waterfalls, relaxed, battled through the wretched state of Kentucky, and conquered the hills on Georgia.
• Started playing basketball every monday with Breza and Pete.
• Became great friends with Kelly. then too good of friends. then not really friends.
• Became friends with Ashley Sakenas
• Started to enjoy running outside often
• Ended up staying the summer in state college after this year to work at Ruby Tuesday. Good times….slow times, but good times
• Met the freshman: Dan Zecher, Mitch Hershey, Adam Jepson, and Ben Roberts….that’s when i knew ACF could recover from losing guys like Mike Breza, Pete Horning, Nate Reed etc.
• Loved every second of listening to Becky Zerr laugh
• Also loved the fact that the Mount was like the central location for anything that went down
• First year I co-led a small group with Amy Henning
• Anthony Barlich is the freaking man
• Getting to Christmas break and realizing I was just then only half way done. Good and bad news. haha.

Apparently, I just can’t remember this year, I guess I didn’t like it too much. In general I remember enjoying it, but when it comes to specific memories, less comes to mind.

addendum to sophomore year

• Road trip to Michigan with Nate Reed, Brian Blanchard, and John Smock. great game, should have one it. those two seconds will haunt me for the rest of my life. I hate michigan with everything in me
• Going to Samie Messerly’s with Mike Webb and a bunch of us watched the Orange bowl and celebrated in the hot tub, with stoagies, how could i forget that!?
