Peanut butter eggs and jell-o

Once again I find myself reading all my favorite blogs and bummed that there isn't anything new. And once again I figure the best way to get you all to write is to write something of my own. That and life is going on and there are a few random things I want to write about. Not of particular importance, but life I guess.
This past weekend was very busy and crazy and wonderful! It started with getting off work early on Friday! I love it! Stacy picked me up and we went down south to Corvallis. We made it just in time for the Good Friday service at Faith. It was a good service, but I'll be honest, I got more out of just being with friends and family than anything else. (This wasn't due to any defficiency on anyone's part, just my lack of a spiritual focus...) Stess and I stayed in Lebanon Friday night as she and my parents were leaving for Denver on Saturday.
Saturday I drove back up to Portland with my family and took them to the airport. They're headed to Denver to spend Spring Break with some of my family. Lucky them, they get to spend the week in the mountains. Snow, sunshine, not working, and family. On the plus side, I got to use my parents truck to get a futon! I'll ad pictures later. It's a very nice futon and will work as an extra bed for Stess when she comes to visit. (Or anyone else who wants to...)
I drove back down to Corvallis Saturday night and spent the night at Stacy's. We went to Faith on Sunday and stayed for an amazing worship time. Afterwards we headed back to her parent's for a great dinner and fun playing Apples to Apples.
Lastly but not the least, Monday was an aweful day at work. I was on the senior line and it felt like every other call was a supervisor call! My first one of the day, had a guy screaming, litteraly screaming, at me because I wasn't going to refund him his money for support that we gave. Left me feeling like jello, you know the feeling after you work out really hard and your muscles are just mush. Yep, that's what it felt like. Honestly that call was more fun than anything. I wasn't going to budge and he gave me reason to hang up on him but he hung up on me fist. However, after that call came others. I'd guess about a third or my calls were supe calls with upset people. I don't mind a few a day, but every other call? I gave myself permission to cry after work. And Tuesday was a better day and today's going pretty good.
So all in all, had a great weekend, the weeks going good and I'm off this Friday and next Monday so I'm happy!

I'm Moving!

I spent this past weekend with some friends in South East Portland. Tim and Hannah have been married for 3+ years now. Hannah and I worked at Camp Tadmor together and we've kept in touch. She and her sister, Naomi, are the kind of people who you can always count on, the relationship always seems to pick up where you left off no matter how long it's been since you were last able to spend time together. Hannah and I have been trying to do things together since I've been back in Portland, not always successful, but we try. Anyway... we had coffee a few weeks ago and she invited me to go to church with them. That turned into an invitation to spend the night on Saturday and watch a movie Saturday afternoon. So, this last weekend I went over there. They bought a home a year ago and have decorated it beautifully! Well, after the movie in Salem and dinner with Stess, Hannah and I went back to their place and Tim came upstairs. Hannah then told me that she and Tim had a ques...

Just for fun

I'm looking through my pictures, trying to find a specific one, but I've run across these four pictures that I just want to post. No big reason other than it was a fun weekend. A while ago Stess came up to Ptown and we got to hang out with our "Brothers" Ryan and Kyle. Kyle didn't look at the camera, Ryan made a face, my camera didn't focus on Stess and I, and then the sky was just cool. So, for no real reason, enjoy!
