My parents are coming out next month because my brother decided to preview here. I am amazed that he would want to considering that I am here. It is not like my brother and I have a bad brother-sister relationship, we have an awesome one. Moving a lot helped us here. When we moved it took us a while to get to know the anyone our age, so for the first couple of weeks we would play and hang out together. I remember a lot of our phases. For instance, the last time we were in Germany, we both were into the "Hardy Boys", "Nancy Drew", and "Tom Swift" books and into playing with hotwheels and micro-machines. Whenever we had cars out, we always pretened that the town included those characters in the books we were reading and were all friend and solved all kinds of mysteries that we made up. I have fond memories of playing/hanging out with my brother. I love my brother a lot, and I miss him while I am here. So I am somewhat happy that he is actually looking into maybe possibly attending LeTourneau. I think he would enjoy it here.

While I want him to come here, I need to remember that he has to enjoy it for himself. I cannot force him to like it here. He has to see the school the same way I did and see why I like the school for himself. I don't want to be overbearing and things like that. I want him to make up his own mind. If this is where he feels God wants him, then so be it. But if it is not, I understand. The best thing for him to do is to listen to God's will and not my will.

I am also looking forward to seeing my parents again. Because I decided to go to school so far away, I don't have the luxery of going home over breaks or the luxery of them visiting me a lot. So it is a real treat when they come out. I am excited that they get to meet all my friends and get to see me play softball (first time for college play). They will be here the weekend after spring break.
