| | so it's been awhile.... ok so I haven't posted in a long long time. my last real post was about the wedding. well to be honest with you i have been so busy since the wedding that I haven't had time to post really. i appreciate Cassie posting about the cruise. it was a lot of fun and i want to go on another one soon.
ok so i will fill you in on what has happened since the cruise.
when we got back to Ellsworth (which is a $100 taxi ride just in case anyone was wondering). we talked to the guy who owned the apartment we were going to rent. he said that he thought we were going to be moving sooner then we said so he rented it out. so we were moving in a week and had no where to move to! to make a long story short (at least this part of it) we did a lot of praying and calling and finally found a 1 bedroom house that we are living in now. we found it 2 days b4 we moved. it was getting kind of stressful there but we trusted that God would take care of us and he did. once we moved in (2 trips to get everything and return the trailer and such). I hit the ground running with Midland. the 1st weekend was a fall festival for the southside of St Joseph. and it was right in our backyard! LITERALLY! so of course we had to do something. we had the youth center open and sold slushies and nachoes and even had this giant 3.5 story slide out front for part of it! and i was here for almost 36 hours that weekend. (fri and Sat we weren't open on Sun, thank the Lord!).
after that I have been getting settled in here @ Midland. i have been to my 1st staff meeting, where Shane and I got into a knife fight (I won of course), I am JUST KIDDING (sort of). we were just playing around. i had to defend my laptop! lol anyways and Midland hosted an open house for me here @ the Midland Center. they served ice-cream and i gave my testimony and talked about what brought me here. afterwards they prayed for Cassie and I and it was a great day.
I have had my 1st quiz with Midland which went so smoothly, i could have taken a nap a couple of times throughout the day! we have this new software for scoring that works really well! one of the teenagers here wrote the entire thing! (great job Duncan!!!!). this quiz was it's test day and it pasted with flying colors. it was so nice to start @ 1 and to have the quiz be less then a mile from my house. I did get there early (10 AM!) but i still got to sleep in on a quiz day! it was awesome! and we had the stats done by the time i left the church so i got to spend the evening with Cassie, which she liked a lot.
all in all i really like working for Midland. i live about 2 miles away, and they have given me a ton of freedom to do what i feel led to do. let me walk you through my weekly schedule:
Mon- get to the office @ 9 (by choice) and work until 3. then I open the youth center and play video games or carpet ball with the teens that come in until 6:30. well 6:32 to be exact. that is when SQ 632 starts. that is the Southside Youth Outreach Bible Club starts. it is run by Shane and Jon. all i do is help with sound and the power point. it is a great club. it is more like a weekly rally though bc it averaged 60-70 a week! so it is a big ordeal every week. afterwards i run the youth center until everyone goes home.
Tues- sleep in until I want to get up, then i go into the office. work there until 3 when the youth center opens and i play and hangout with the teens until 6.
Weds- get to the office @ 9 and work on computers, website, ECT until 3 again for the youth center until 6 when i get home to a home cooked meal by my wonderful cook of a wife, Cassie!
Thurs- i get here about 9 as well and work until 4 or 5 (no youth center today) and then i go home eat real quick and head to TJAM (Thursday Jesus And Me). it's the 5th and 6th grade Bible Club. wow 5th and 6th graders are funny. anyways i run sound there in my little sound booth and hangout with the teens. it's fun. i go home and watch My name is Earl and of course The Office with Cassie to wrap up the night.
Fri- come in @ 9 and work until whenever and go home. (also some Fri are rallies so i have to go to them, like tomorrow, 10-20, is our powercharge!).
so there you have it. my week. we have a quiz the 1st weekend of the month and a rally the 3rd weekend of the month so the other 2 (or sometimes 3) is mine to spend with Cassie! it is a lot less busy then my schedule @ TFC. so i get to spend a lot more time with Cassie then i would when i was working for them.
so there that is what i have been up to in the past month and a half. now leave a comment!
