Lately I have been feeling tired all the time. I am pretty sure I am not sick or anything.
I tended to not get much sleep during the school year, or maybe for the past few years with working at various places during the summer and school throughout the year.
Anyway, this past semester was pretty crazy busy, but then after graduation and the wedding and stuff i started sleeping quite a bit for a couple weeks.
Generally, when I get alot of sleep, my body likes it a little too much and wants more, so I am now trying to sleep less to be less tired. Or maybe it's just that when I sleep less, I have an excuse for being tired, but when I sleep alot and am still tired it seems like something must be wrong.
Anyway, life is good. I am reading a book called Servolution which is pretty sweet. I am currently trying to get back my relationship with God and also learning how to lead "our" (Kassie and I) relationship with God. and I am kind of trying to find some purpose in my life right now
it's not that I think my life is worthless right now but I feel like I should be out doing something. I know it is good to spend some time working on marriage and stuff, but it seems like there should be something more...
I think part of it is not having a job or anything and reading these books about people doing sweet stuff and serving in cool ways with big faith and everything.
Right now Kassie and I are memorizing Philippians 3. Ask me about it sometimes..
Catch you kiddos later...(kiddo is my new word for people for some reason)

married
I just remembered I have a blog.
I am married now.
It's pretty exciting. It's nice to have a little time right now, without school and the wedding and everything. I am looking for jobs and catching up on things and trying to get my life somewhat organized or something like that.
It has also been good catching up with God. I kind of let other things come before him for a while, but this past week has been really good. I read a book called Reckless Faith. It is mostly stories told by a woman of God's work in and around her and her family as they live and serve in Mexico.
The apartment has been pretty good. We got the gas turned on, most of the screens in, most of the stuff somewhat organized, etc.
I like the summer and being married and being done with school.

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.

Sunday Night
It's another Sunday night. I like Sundays, especially when I do the sabbath thing. Today I spent some much needed good time with God. I also went to a couple jazz concerts, one with my wonderful fiance.
That one had quite a few people we know in it, which was pretty sweet. I like listening to jazz and watching them play but it makes me want to play too, kind of like watching soccer.
I also went to a life group to talk about missions. it was pretty good. we had an interesting discussion afterwards. it made me think about some things.
I think I am going to go read a little bit.
Sundays...by the way, Kassie and I are getting married on a Sunday...May 31. Sorry if you are finding that out from this blog and feel like you should have found out a different way.
Small wedding, just a few people.

Sleep
I am here, alive.
I don't really feel like writing but feel like I should for whatever reason.
Lately I have been making progress on my research project. I have noticed it is negatively correlated with the amount of sleep I get. (more progress=less sleep)
Today I am really tired and thinking that maybe the best way to be able to serve God would be to take a nap. I have stuff I would like to get done. I can be quite productive when I am tired, but I don't think I honor God as well. So, realizing which is more important, I should probably take a nap. I might have a meeting in about .5 hours though, so I might wait until after that.
God is good.
Really good.
All the time.
Forever.
