Summer

Well, it finally feels like summer. This week I am not too busy. I am just trying to get some stuff done, get ready for the wedding, etc.

I am a little more busy than expected. I got called yesterday about working tomorrow morning for April who has to take her mother to a doctor's appt. This morning, I got called by April at 9 30 to open the store for another lady who had to take her daughter to the hospital. so I got there about 9 45 not knowing how long I would be there. brenda showed up about an hour later saying her daughter, who had an allergic reaction to something, was going to be fine. so I went to the park.

after spending some time with God in the park I came home to find fire trucks and people across the street outside of Grawn. Chris informed me that some bushes outside of grawn were on fire so they evacuated the building and some classes were cancelled and stuff.

I'm thinking about trying to become more of a handyman. I know some things here and there. Right now I am working on refinishing a stool. I haven't refinished anything before, but I don't think it will be too hard. I am just sanding it down right now, and it seems to be going pretty well. I also want to build a book shelf for our new apt. we'll see what else comes along and what I actually get done.

I am realizing that part of the gap I've been feeling between me and God has come not only from the way I have or havent spent time with him, but also with others and talking about Him and stuff. community is important.

so long

Dumpster Diving

I have never been dumpster diving before. I have always been somewhat bothered at the end of the year when people throw stuff that is good in the dumpsters.

so, today, I decided to do something about it. well, actually, I have been thinking about doing it for a while. Kassie went with me today. We went to several dumpsters and got some good stuff, including a couch, a chair, a traffic cone, some pans, some garbage cans, etc.

it was fun. I want to do it more but probably wont soon because I have to work all day tomorrow and after that most of the stuff will probably be gone.

we'll see

anyway, we have some good stuff for our apartment, assuming we get an apartment. we also got a chair from a friend of the Ricolo family and can get a table from the Ricolo rents.

I am looking forward to moving into an apartment. We have one that we are probably going to rent, but we need to meet with the landlord when he gets back from a trip somewhere.
