Hey everbody... I've kinda been slacking off on my blog lately sorry about that. I probalby spawns from the fact that I don't really have anything excitnig to report on. I think all I've really done since my last post is work everyday. One evening I went out with Han and Allie to a little coffee shop type thing and that was fun... but we didn't really hang out that long. I helped Han go computer shopping too so he could have a computer to use when he goes to live in NC. I helped him get that setup over the past few days. OK well anyway.. thats it for now.

Today was pretty good. Andy was back at work today, and he picked a good day to come back too.. we were really really busy today. I got my pilots licence today in the mail too. Tori intercepted it for me at the LU post office and brought it by my work. That was really nice of her and it was good to see her too. I'm glad she was able to do that. The licence looks pretty cool, it doesn't have a photo ID or anything but there is a little hologram thing on it and there is a watermarked picture of the wright brothers in the background. After work I went over to the Donnebergs for a bit and we celebrated Jugee's 70th birthday. It was pretty fun. She sounded like she had a good time too. It was nice to hang out with them for a little bit. I ended up leaving a little before 9:00 though because they were all going to be getting ready to head to bed. So I just came back and worked on some stuff. That pretty much covers it. Night!

Today was a fairly slow day at work again. I'm not sure if we'll have very much to do. Andy will be back tomorrow too so that will make three of us trying to find something to do and that might make the day seem quite a bit longer. We'll see how it goes. Anyway, after work I did some quick shopping and stopped by the Donnebergs to drop some stuff off that I had in my car. Then I returned home for the rest of the night and tried to get my house a little better organized. Now that I have the wardrobe to keep stuff in I can find a place for some things now. Its starting to come together. Ok, well anyway. I should head to bed now. Night!

This weekend turned out to be a great weekend! Allie and I ended up going to NC to visit with her dad. On friday I left work a little bit early because Allie showed up there and we left right from my work. On the way down we stopped at Subway for dinner and we ended up getting to thier house about 7:30. Once we got there we mostly just hung out and talked for awhile then watched a little tv. Saturday was a lot of fun though. I was able to sleep in until 11:00, so first of all that was really great. After waking up and showering and having quiet time I then ate some breakfast and ended up playing some video games with Dan. I think he had fun playing with me for a little while. while we were still playing we were asked if we wanted to go swimming. I havent gone swimming all summer so far, and I was excited for a chance to finally go. So we got dress for the pool and Allie and Dan and I headed for the pool. (we were the only ones that wanted to go). Allie doesn't really even like to swim that much either but I think she went just for me. And that made me happy **GRIN** =o). I had a great time even though we weren't able to be there for very long. Right after swimming we hurried back to change because we were all going to go see a movie. Sam, Allie and I went to see Pirates 2 while Dan and his dad went to go see a cartoony movie of some sort. The movie was kinda weird and seemed to drag on for awhile but I guess they just had to get the story in to make it work when Pirates 3 comes out. Anyway it was still cool and I had fun with Allie and Sam doing that. After the movie we came back home for a great meal and just relaxed the rest of the night watching "The Village". It was pretty nice. We didn't stay up too late Saturday night though because we had to wake up for church in the morning. Sunday was the day Allie and I had to come back home. But first we went to Her Dad's church. It is an Episcopal Church and all I can really say about that here, is that it was an experience....yeah... experience...thats it. Oh, and by the way - I tasted some wine for the first time in my life there as they used the real stuff for communion. (Allie says it was horrible cheap wine though). Either way, I'm not interested in that stuff.. it smelled bad and tasted pretty sick. After the service was over they had a church wide banquet type thing. The main pastor type guy was going to be leaving and this was his last sunday. So they did a big thing for him. That turned out to be pretty good though. After we got back home after church We ended up loading the Futon into my van. I ended up backing into the yard to make it easier but we found out afterwards that it rained a lot harder then we had though the night before. So My van ended up being stuck in the Mud and we couldn't get it out on our own. So we had to call AAA and have a tow truck come and pull me out. Good thing they had that AAA thing. Allen said that they pay for it, so they might as well use it. Anyway, I though that was a fun thing to watch. The rest of the afternoon was just a time to relax for a little bit before Allie and I left to come back home. I ended up Falling asleep watching Tom and Jerry. I wasn't able to find out if he caught the mouse or not... Anyway we ended up leaving shortly after that. The trip home seemed quite a bit faster then the trip there for some reason but it went smoothly and without problem. After getting back into Lynchburg we stopped in at Sheetz for some food and gas, then headed over to my apartment to drop off the Futon and stuff. After that we headed back to Allie's house. The Donnebergs were going to let me use a wardrobe that they had in the basement to help me organize some of my stuff here at the apartment. So we got that loaded up in my van while the seats were out and dropped that off here. Allie and Jo hung out for a little bit and helped me put the seats back in my van and arrange some stuff best we could for now. Allie also cleaned out some stuff in my van too. After all that they headed back home and left me here to get some sleep. I might be able to do that.. we'll see.

Today was a pretty straight up day. Went to work and it was fairly slow today. Not much to talk about with that. After work I ended up meeting up with Allie, Britt, and Tim and we all went out for dinner at Tokyos. That was cool. After dinner allie and I went out for coffee and just hung out for a little bit. It was a really good evening. Tomorrow night I'll be going down to North Carolina with Allie as she will go to visit her dad down there. They were going to give me an old Futon that they didn't need anymore. Anyway, I guess thats it for now. Night!

This morning on the way to work I gave my neighbor a ride to drop him off at a grocery store, after doing that I stopped in at the post office to see Allie as she was going to be there for her daily mail pickup. After that I was at work the rest of the day. I had a quick service call today and on the way back from it I decided to get a slurpee. Other then that the rest of the work day was pretty straight forward. After work I ended up meeting my pastor at church and we talked for about three hours tonight. That was pretty good stuff. Later this evening I spent some time on the phone with someone from wycliffe too. That was good conversation as well. Anyway.. I think I'm going to head to bed now. Night!

The blog website thing was down last night so I wasn't able to write something. But I'm going to try and write something now before I head to work. Yesterday work was fairly straight forward for me. For Jason it was a little different though. He had to go out on a service call to someplace almost an hour away. He got there ok and did what he needed to but then when trying to come back, his car didn't start. So he was stranded out there for about an hour trying to get that figured out. He ended up being gone for quite awhile. I got lucky that things weren't too busy at the shop during that time. Anyway, after work I ended up going to See Mission Impossible 3 with Will, and that Was pretty fun. I think that was the best MI out of all of them so far. After the movie I decided to head over to see Allie at work for a little bit until she had to close up. After that I just came home and worked on some things before I headed to bed. That pretty much covers it. =o)

Then for lunch I ended up going to the Donnebergs, Scott and Stef came over too and we all hung out this afternoon for awhile. Later on we watched a movie call Unbreakable and then we watched some home videos of Allie when she was three. It started out with some footage of Allie's mom Jo when she was in her Teen years it was kinda fun. So yeah, today was fun... Anyway.. I'm going to bed. Night

Hey everybody... I'm still alive. Just been busy lately and havent had much to report on anyway. Brittany is back in town so I've spent some time with her - and also her boyfriend was here a few days so he stayed at my place during that time. It was cool to have a roomate for a while. I also had a chance to sit and talk to my nieghbor for awhile yesterday about some problems he is having. That was really good, but if you can keep him in prayer that would be great! Anyway, all is well and life just keeps going on. Thanks for Caring =)

Today started out as kind of a tough day. I only had about 5 hours of sleep last night since we got back so late. I still had to be at church by 8:30 for worship team practice. I ended up making it through the service without zoning out or anything so that was good. After I was awake for a few hours this morning I ended up having a decent amount of energy. I didn't end up getting tired again until after lunch at the Donnebergs. When I get fed well I get sleepy - thats just how it works. I ended up sleeping about three hours this afternoon. I really felt quite a bit better after that. The rest of the evening we just watched movies and hung out for awhile. Brittany is back in town now and it was great to see her. She was kind of in and out all day though as she had old friends she wanted to spend some time with. But anyway it turned out to be a good day. I'm ready to head to bed now though. Night!

This weekend was an amazingly fun time. Directly after work on friday Allie, and Bekah and I headed down to Williamsburg VA for the weekend. We had plans to go to Busch Gardens. For the first night the girls were going to get a hotel room, and I was going to sleep in the parking lot in my van. We had gotten a discount through RJ who works at those hotels, but when we got there the discount paper was giving us some issues and it was going to cost more. The receptionist lady ended up letting it work for us though and they were able to get a room for $50. I helped them carry all the stuff up to the room and we hung out for a short time. But then I brushed my teeth up there and headed down to my van for the night. That ended up working out pretty well and we all slept very well. I ended up going back up to thier room to shower in the morning and then we checked out and headed to Busch Gardens. The day at the park went extremely well for us. There weren't very many people like normal (Probably because everybody did thier holiday for the 4th) but for the first 4 hours we were there we basicly were able to walk onto any ride we wanted to without having to stand in line We rode three of the roller coasters right away and one we did twice. It was great, normally each ride is about an hour 1/2 wait. We also went to see some of the shows they had around. We went to see one that was an Irish dancing show, and also an animal show thing that was really cute. We also went to see three different attractions where you wear 3D glasses and you are a part of a story. I think those were my favorite things. I think one of my favorite parts was when there was a swarm of bees and it looked like they really came out of the screen at us, the chairs vibrated a little and there was little wind spirts that came out the top of our chairs so it really felt like the bees were there. Allie really got freaked out and squezzed my arm soo hard and buried her head in my shoulder. But it was funny to see her react to that. I liked it! I think we ended up being able to do everything we wanted to except for one thing which was the boat ride. But we really did have a great time. There was a bridge we crossed walking around the park where they had turtles in the water below. We stood there and fed the turtles for awhile and had fun making them fight over food. We also ended up eating lunch there in the park. Over all the food there was pretty expensive of course, but we found a great deal at one of the italian places and we all shared a large combo meal type thing. There were so many great things there we had such a blast. I was really glad we decided to do that. We ended up being there for about 13 hours or so. We got there in the morning at 9:00 and left that night at 10:00. We still had another three hour drive back that night though se we didn't end up getting back in Lycnbhurg until just before 2am It turned out to be a really long day but well worth it! Good time!

I ended up getting back home really late last night and I forgot to write a blog before I fell asleep. But yesterday was a really nice day. I was able to sleep in until 10:00 and that was great! I had a good amount of things I had to do yesterday though, things that have just been waiting around for me to do them. So I got ready for that day and started working on some stuff. Allie ended up calling me and asking if I wanted to meet with her and Stephanie for lunch I thought that sounded fun so I ended up doing that. We met for about an hour or so at Chik-fil-A. After lunch I returned home and continued to work on a few things. I was able to get a lot of reading done that I had been wanting to finish for awhile. Later that evening I ended up going over to the Donnebergs for a cookout. They were having hamburgers, hotdogs, and grilled chicken and veggies. It was all very good. After Dinner Jo, Allie and I played a few card games then we all went downstairs to watch Independance day. We had gone outside for a little bit to watch some of the fireworks the neighbors had but we didn't do any ourselfs. Once we got settled downstairs for the movie Allie decided she was just too tired to watch it so she ended up going to bed early. I stayed and watched the movie with the rest of the family though and it didn't end up getting over until after 12:00. So It was pretty late by the time I got home. But it was a great day still and I had fun and accomplished a lot of stuff at home too. Anyway, back to life today!

Ok, I have a few minutes to fill in more details about yesterday. For church we had a lot of media presentations I had to go through. It was all Independence Day related stuff. Then thier was also some clips to play during the sermon, so I was working pretty hard that morning. But it was really cool in the end and I think God really worked through everything too. After the service Allie and I met with Han and we went out for Seafood at a restaraunt called Harbor Inn. RJ ended up meeting us there as well. Things get kind of dangerous when Han and RJ get together though so it may not be a good idea to bring them out in public together anymore. We still had fun though and the food was really good. I wasn't very hungry though so I hardly ate anything. It ended up being great leftover for lunch though. After lunch we went back to Allie's house and we watched "A Knights Tale" then just hung out and Han and Allie played on Face Book for like 4-5 hours or something like that. Later that evening Allie and I went over to Liberty because they were doing a Independence Day bash type thing with fireworks and a carnival and stuff. We also went and saw the new Thomas Road building while we were up there. I had fun, but the fireworks were pretty wimpy and we probalby could have had just as much fun doing something else. I was happy to just hang out with Allie though, sometimes thats all that matters. Oh well that pretty much covers it. Just thought I would fill in the missing blanks.
