a little of this....a little of that

So, Texas Joe's Construction has officially opened up shop. For anyone who doesn't know, Jeremy has started his own screen porch business. Starting a business is scary! But we prayed about it a lot, and I am confident knowing God is in control.

Work has been a little different lately. My boss moved away, one of the full time baristas was hired as a manager, and one of the other full time baristas got a new job at an architectural firm. But the change is all right. Just takes some getting used to. On a semi-related note, I learned about something called Wickles yesterday. Anyone ever tried Wickles? check this out: http://www.wickles.com/wickles_pickles.php.

What else....
I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and enjoyed it. I'm excited to see how they wrap up the trilogy. I also went to see The Devil Wears Prada. It was funny and very enjoyable. All of the actors were fantastic.

Anyway, I'm tired and feeling the opposite of verbose, so peace out.

hitting the ground running

Camp was really great. There were some challenging moments, and it was hot of course, but that didn't detract from the week at all. I felt like I interracted with the kids a little more/better this year, so that was cool, and I got to know the counselors better this year as well, which was awesome. Plus, it's always nice to get so far removed from every day life....it's nice for getting a little perspective back.

Of course, now it's back to life. I'm trying to regain some discipline with my writing, along with keeping everyday life things in order (you know...stuff like cleaning house, grocery shopping).

anyway, that's all for now. Peace.

Oklahoma...

Off to camp! I'm sad that Phil won't be there this year :( but that's life. Let's hear it for vacation!!!
