Well lately I've been getting daily doses of of sheetrock and insulation baths, installing boxes for wiring, and getting cornered by jerks that aren't even in the same business as i am that were determined to get me to cuss. It started by him carrying on about my f****** dumb a** hat (a nice palm leaf cowboy hat). Then suddenly he turned religious when I kinda took it without getting mad. Carrying on about how the Bible doesn't say that cussing (and other things) are wrong. I was standing there kind shocked while he stormed on then stormed off. I had not done a thing (except wear my hat), I had never told him I was a christian either. I wish I had a better response then to help the poor guy. But he sure did make my day. Later he cornered my again and then his friends got into it and they started asking personal questions. My answers were negative and they noticed how dead serious I was. They couldn't believe how I was saying all of this with a straight face. Then I kinda let them have it on why I was this way. Then it was my turn to walk off with them acting a bit ashamed. Amazing how well our light shines silently.Well I gave my boss a report on it and he was mad that he bothered me after he told him to quit. He set him straight (really straight) cause he didn't want them stopping me from working and he just didn't want them bothering his employees. So I'm back to to work peacefully.

What a week!

Well the week's almost over and I feel like updating....

One problem....

Can't really think of anything!

Well I guess everything's going smoothly at work. Having to leave home by 5:45 every morning is kind of a pain but I'll live. I got fairly sick this week probably of heat but I'm getting used to that too. So it seems this job is going to work pretty well.

I'm planning on getting a car here pretty quick but haven't really decided what I want. Don't want to go any more expensive then about 15 grand. Any suggestions?

Once again employed!!!

Started my new job yesterday! Working with my soon-to-be brother-in-law  at gambeco electric. Nice little business that basically does all kinds of electric work. We're working on an old apartment complex right now. So far it seems to be pretty promising. It's not to hard or easy and pays fairly good.

The amazing thing is the fact that I was getting horribly stressed and depressed just sitting around at home. So I kinda almost made a little deal with God begging for a job that, if good enough, might replace college next fall or push it off a few years since this spring was horrible (not my grades, that was great.). If he didn't then maybe I'd go full steam into the college stuff. I went around for the next while wondering if it was wrong to "deal" with God. Well, less then a week later I had two job offers, both wanted me to start immediately! The business Eric was a partner with was really desperate. Also they payed better and I liked the work more. So now I'm finally working again! This time it's full time work too!

Dunno about the college stuff. I've felt very upset how some things unraveled this past semester. My grades were still excellent but there were some other stuff that was not at all doing well. Perhaps God wants me to wait awhile, perhaps he wants me to skip it. Dunno. I'm not ruling it out because I've had some big answer to prayer happen. I've learned before that when a prayers seems perfectly answered, it's normally because we're not taking into account that God doesn't always want it this way forever. Why? I don't know. I just know that he reassured me that he's still right there, patting my back and saying "Hang in there son, I haven't forgotten you."

Summer has unofficially begun. So far i see no end to windy mostly sunny days around 93-98 degrees the next few weeks. Most of the stormy weather is effecting the central and northern plains.

But we've been turning the hot weather into fun days racing around the lake in our boat. we've been tubing and water skiing (trying anyway). Also been swimming at our grandma's pool a lot too. Wanna try something wierd? Try playing a game sorta like hockey and soccer in a pool (a new game i made up). Hard. But fun.

Also been getting my baseball back in shape. Been about three years or so since we've really played so i have some work to do. I really wish we'd play more baseball around here. Not that i don't like volleyball. Just that I prefer sports that you have to learn good techniques and mechanics to play well.

Well other then that, it's just boring out here so I'll sign off and cya'll later.

Here are some of the pictures i found. My conceded brother only put the pictures that had something to do with him on the computer.
