Some Funnies

Some funnies I got from my family:

I've come to realize that the secret to a happy life is not looking like Barbie or Ken and suffering through tofu and rice cakes to stay that way! It's eating chocolate, staying chunky and explain that you're really a perfect size 6, but you keep it covered with fat so it doesn't get scratched!

I know, when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?" Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"

Employment application blanks always ask 'who is to be notified in case of an emergency' I think you should write, "A Good Doctor!"


Why is it that every time I lose weight it finds me again?

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do -- write to these men? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!

I got a job!!

I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was looking for a math teacher position but I was blessed with a music teacher position. I am very excited. It is wierd to go back to teaching after 4 years. I am nervous and excited too. I cannot wait to start.

Summer is over

I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. It is bad because we had a lot of fun this summer at camp and such, but it is good because we were very busy (especially my dh) and R starts pre-K this year. They grow up so fast. Wow.
We had a great time at camp. B went and stayed at grandma's house so that R and I could have an easier time playing together. That was a nice break, I only had one kid, I did not have to cook all week, and after R went to bed I 3 hours to my self, it was my vacation this year.

Now is the great race to find a job. Have I mentioned that I hate job interviews, I never know what to say and everything sounds stupid to my ears, or my brain just stops functioning and I don't know what to say. Hopefully God knows where He wants me, cause I have no idea.

He's home

He's home. I am so excited, I hate when he has to go out of town. During the day it isn't that bad because i am always home with the kids y myself, but after the kids go to bed it sucks. The first couple nights my sister stayed over and that was cool to get to spend some time with her, but after she left I was lonely. I am just glad I don't have to do it often. I don't know how wives of military personel or truckers do it. I guess you just do. I am glad that I do not have to. But he had a blast and I am glad for that. Maybe I can go with him next year. We will see.

Chinese food

Well we were in Church this morning and R was asked to draw a picture of her favorite thing. She said that her favorite thing was Chinese food. The other teacher and I laughed alot. Like father, like daughter I guess. So after church guess where we went to eat - - all you can eat chinese buffet

I passed!!!!

I am so excited, I passed my subject area exam test.  I totally though that I had failed miserably.  It has been a long time since I had those classes.  I figure that I passed by the skin of my teeth. But I still passed!!!!  Now all I have to do is find a job to use it in.  Wish me luck and prayers.

What's Going On

I've had a number of people ask me recently for an update on the whole family situation.  People who I've recently caught back up with and people who I've just been bad about updating.  So here is a quick update of what's going on with us.

In July of last year (2005), I started at New Horizons Christian Church as their full time Associate Minister over Youth and Children.  My good friend D. was the previous Associate and had stepped down to become a math teacher.  He still volunteers as our worship leader and works with our design team to help plan and execute a lot of the creativity in our worship services.

We moved to Winter Garden (Ocoee actually) in September.  We also got the opportunity to buy a mini-van at a great price right before the move, so now I am a mini-van guy.  My wife has looked for jobs teaching music for most of this school year and has still come up with nothing, but we are still doing ok.  (There is actually some really good news in that department but I'll let her fill everyone in later.)

B. turned 1 in October of last year and R. turned 4 this past March.  They are both getting big and I think I am losing my mind with all the cuteness.  They are both currently going through a bit of rebelliousness but things have been crazy lately and I haven't been home as much as usual in about a week and a half.

Our Church just recently went mobile and that has been the source of a lot of my stress, but it is really a good move for our congregation.  We are planning to build a building on our property in the next 2 years, and this move is going to bring our finances into a position that will allow us to continue towards that goal.

As of today, I leave for a missions trip to Mexico with FCYC in 23 days.  I am this year's vice president and will be President next year.  I am also a program director for one of the Middle School weeks of camp at Lake Aurora and am currently serving as one of the trustees at the camp.  I am also helping out this summer as the activities director for the High School week of camp.

I am sure there is more going on and more that has gone on in the last year, but that is all that comes to mind at the moment.  Sorry for the haphazard order, but with the insanity of recent weeks, it is lucky I am still sane.

coffee

I was just sitting here thinking about what great kids I have and the funny things they say. Chris taught the baby to say "coffee" so whenever I ask her what she wants to drink she says "coffee". I was watching R read a story to B yesterday, it was very sweet. It did not last long, but it was sweet while it lasted. I think that God had to make kids cute so we don't strangle them when they drive us crazy.
