Hello I'm home

I'm back from Louisville ("Luhvul"), Kentucky! I actually saw a billboard with a picture of Colonel Sanders on it, but we didn't see any KFCs when we were there. Haha. Louisville is really cool tho. We stayed in a nice hotel, walked around the river and chilled. I really liked that this retreat was actually really relaxing (first program was at 10am, and we only had two short sermons the whole retreat), instead of the crazy-intensive ones that I've been to in the past. The weather was crazy hot and humid though, totally reminiscent of a certain little island in Southeast Asia.

We went to the Louisville Slugger Museum and toured the factory where they made the bats. And we each got a "mini bat" as a souvenir which was nice. :) And I also saw videos of the best hitters in history (who would've thought Babe Ruth was so old and chubby?), and also all the baseballs autographed by presidents of the USA: Calvin Coolidge, JFK, FDR, Eisenhower, Woodrow Wilson, George Bush Sr. and Jr.,..... and a "Obama vs. McCain?" display. LOL.

Arrived back in Lafayette at about 9:30pm, after making a stop at the Edinburgh outlets where I bought a Nike cap and wristlet and two Izod golf shirts for ~$35 :). I didn't even know we had outlets within 1.5 hours of Lafayette! Probably won't be my last time there hurhurhur. Anyway I've been wanting to watch the X-files movie all weekend, and I was sooo happy when I finally got back in town so I convinced Scott to go watch the 11:40pm show with me. So yep, I'VE WATCHED IT FINALLY.

Well its not the best movie ever made but I'm still happy to see Mulder and Scully again, although they aged sooooo much. I think Skinner's probably the person who aged the best. The movie was pretty creepy though, and now I'm really spooked out about snow and snowplows. But thankfully I won't be seeing those for some time yet! Hopefully by the time winter rolls around I would have forgotten all about this. Oh, and we pretty much spent the whole movie yelling at Mulder to call for backup or dial 911 for goodness' sake!!
