Here's One (a post that is)

O.k. I know. I have been pretty bad at this blogging stuff. I'll be suprised if anyone sees this post within the next few days. I have finished work early today and got pretty bored so I thought I would put a post up on my blog. I've been pretty busy and if I can blame anything for not being able to put up a post, then I'll just say that I've been working a lot at work and at Church. Well, I don't guess that's a real excuse, but it's kind of incredible what the same-ole same-ole, full-time work can do to your body and mind. I feel like a week passes about the same amount of time as a day does. I was just amazed because it seems as if though I didn't even exist there for a couple of weeks, even to my own self! However, work is going really well and I'm still enjoying it very much. I am still trying to get used to going to bed early to rise early.

One of these weekends here soon will be wonderful. Either the end of October or the beginning of November. Me and Kristin are planning a fishing trip in North Carolina where her grandparents are from. There is an Indian reservation there that has really nice camp sites to stop and fish along the streams. It will be nice to get away from the busy life for a little bit and to relax. I'm just afraid that that 3-day weekend will only seem like a couple of hours! I hope that it drags... lol. Kristin's birthday is in one more week. October 22. Time just flies! It doesn't seem like it's already been 1 year and 7 months that we've been dating, but it has! I know a lot of people keep wondering "Well, when's the big day?" Well, I'm learning that patience is a characteristic not taken lightly. I wish I could tell everyone, but you can't catch the fish if you pull the line too quickly, and I don't want to let this fish go!!!

Well, Good Lord, I pray that you give me wisdom and strength for the day and clarity of mind, and may I always walk according to Your will.

Hey favorite cuzin J! See... I had faith that you'd blog again - I checked it again today! And, I like your answer to my burning question - WHEN are you getting married?! Great response. :-) Of course your "beautiful Ping Pong Queen babe" should take it as a compliment that we want you to ask her! I can be your witness - we've both been busy with church activities - which is a good thing, I'm sure. And - yes, it's hard to get up, go to work, come home, get ready for the next day, sleep and do it all over again. I have to remind myself - Thanks for the job Lord & thanks for the health to go to it. :-) Luv ya!

Love my job... but it sure keeps me busy.
Anyways, glad to hear from ya. Take care.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for keeping us updated.
I like the song "You can't hurry love, you just have to wait...."
Ok, so now I am dating myself LOL.
God's timing is perfect, not ours. So seek HIM first.
You need to come to CO to visit, you would love it.
Blessings,
Your only sis in law,
Rachel

I'm so happy to see that you're blogging again. Sometimes it's the only way that we all get to keep in touch! I wish you could have come down with mom and Muddy a couple weeks ago. We really had a good visit. Are you and Kristen still planning to come for Thanksgiving? I guess one of these evenings when I've got some time to sit and talk I'll give you a buzz and we'll work out the details. Hope you guys have fun on your fishing trip! Love ya, Jennifer
