Year: 2006

I think Alexis and I are finally feeling like this house is really our house. I think the main reason is that we find our selves being totally content to be home alone. While we love to host people and we love entertaining, sometimes after a long week, it is just nice to be at home and do whatever you want. I find this particularly true with my new job, I

Hey the dust is settling! I finally have all my pictures uploaded again! A few may be missing or out of place, but things are looky like home again. WELCOME BACK!

Hey! Guess what? I’m feeling motivated to finally fix this place up and start blogging on a truly regular basis again! 🙂 I promise (with the exception that real life does trump blogging at times).

I am slowly getting things back to normal, we have Internet at our house now! So, I’ll be bringing my pictures back online and soon we’ll have wedding pictures too! Also I hope to actually blog a lot more when all of the projects around the house are finished, just a couple more to go.

In the meantime don’t forgot to be thankful for all the little things that God does. You’re alive, you have internet access, that’s a lot more than some people…

Not so big as in words… just as in life changes.

I got a new job at Cyclone Computers. It’s a lot of fun and challenging, hoping that I’ll have more client work soon. Due to getting a new job Alexis and I also found a new townhouse that we are renting, it’s amazing, a total blessing. So, stability has come… now we just want to feel settled. We finally will have our own bed to sleep on this Sunday! Yippy

I just want stability. I want a real bed to share with my real bride. I want a toilet lid that I can accidently leave up (because 80% of the time I don’t) and have my bride “chit chat” about to me. I want to be annoyed that our cats are making a mess at the litter box. I want, I want, I want. I don’t have. I don’t need. I have Christ and Christ alone.

There is light at the end of this tunnel though. I had two interviews this past week, and on Monday I have two more. Praise God Almighty.

Lord, I thank you for this life, I thank you for an amazing church family, I praise you for all of your blessings. I thank you for your friendship, and I love you more everyday, even when I don’t have what I want, but I do have what I need and that is why your love endures. Praise be unto you forever and forever.

AMEN.

I alive. Alive and well. Got turned down from another job interview though. However they are creating a second position that, God willing, I’ll get, the guy who interviewed me said I was the top candidate for this “Technical Engineer 2” position. I hope so, it would be perfect, there are a few other oppurtunities I’m looking at and have applied for, but right now I’m not sure that they are the best. Keep praying, and I will be on here more full time as soon as Alexis and I settle down into our own place in Gresham, Oregon! AMEN.

It seems that all I do are

Alexis and I have been in Poland since last Monday and we are enjoying it a lot, time seems to be going faster here then at any other part of our trip. We’ve seen our old friends, and have done a lot of talking with Denise about the future. We are excited for what God has in store for us and we are looking forward to making more trips in the future, maybe with some of you!
