sbombalicious

So I decided that it was high time to update my blog. And what better topic than one of the awesomest things that happened this summer. I am still kinda processing through some of the stuff that happened in Peru, so maybe I will put some of my thoughts about it as they come up. But anyways, that isn't the topic here.

If you aren't on Facebook or Myspace (or even if you are) you may or may not know that I have a girl now =D I met Lauren at InterVarsity spring conference in February and thought she was pretty cool. I got her email (which was a knee shaking experience) and we emailed a little bit and found out that we were both planning on going to Peru on the IV missions trip this past summer. So that was pretty cool. We emailed quite a bit and then went to IV chapter camp together in May which was pretty cool. At one point she invited me to be her "date" to her sister's wedding reception with (supposedly) no relationship strings attached. Which she realized later was not really possible. Inviting any friend to a wedding is kinda immediate strings attached lol. But anyways, I went and it wasn't nearly as awkward as I thought it would be.

Three days after said reception we both arrived in LA for training for Peru. The entire 5 week trip we did our absolute best to focus on what God wanted us to be doing there and not hanging out with each other as much as we really wanted to. I think we succeeded as well as can be anticipated. But anyways, about a week after we were both back at home I called her house and asked her dad permission to date her and he said yes =D And yeah I know that it is kinda wierd to ask dad about dating, but hey, when I am a dad I would totally think that was awesome so I did it anyways.

So we have been together almost 2 months of awesomeness now. My mom laughs at me when I am on the phone almost every night (she lives in Greeley - 1hr away). She laughed even more when the minute bill on my phone was like 2400 minutes for 1 month. For anybody curious that is like 36 hrs or something like that.

Ok so all of that is the main story. Now I'm going to go back to the title. Sbombalicious is a word I made up to describe the awesomeness of us. When I got the email about being invited to the wedding reception, I was texting one of my good friends and was trying to come up with a phrase that would adequately describe my emotions. What I came up with was

"sheiza-biscuits-of-the-mother-bloody-hell" where sheiza is basically the S word in another language lol but I can't do the special b looking letter to spell it right. So anyways, later on I decided to abbreviate it as SBOMB. Which I used a few times, but didn't quite capture the whole essence of the word. So later on I was trying to come up with another word, and my friend Tom came up with "biscalicious" which I thought was incredicaly awesome, but coutldn't quite capture the full meaning either - mostly just because he had come up with it and not me. So later on I realized that I could apply the same suffix to one of my own words, and sbombalicious was born - fit only to describe the awesomeness that is this gift that God has given me =D

Till next time (hopefully soon) peace...
