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!

Technical Support

Since I got back from Mongolia life has been pretty hectic so I appologize for not posting more pictures (still to come) or telling you more about my trip (also, still to come.) When I got back I realized I had 2 weeks to find a place (Praise the Lord, He provided!) and move (this weekend). On top of that, last weekend was a big family gathering, and stuff at work is changing along with my schedule. But, in an effort to at least give you something, I thought I'd tell you about one story from Mongolia that wouldn't have happened last year. Stess, Kate and I went evangelizing in the countryside with Pugi (the pastor) and Oyuna (our translator.) We ended up at a home with three generations all living together. They were all there and invited us into their home. Pugi spoke with them first, telling them what he did and why we, the Americans, were there. They asked what we did for work in the states. Kate works as a manager in a hotel and Stess is a teacher. Both those seem to t...

God is GOOD!

Can I just say, I love my job! I was just struck today by how amazing God has been to me. I was just sitting poolside at a grill restaurant in the hotel I'm staying at, in Cebu Philippines, eating molassis and pecan crusted salmon as this great tropical breeze blows by and I just have to be amazed. All of this is being paid by work, and all I have to do is my job, which I love! Never would I have thought three years ago that I would be on my second oversease business trip with this company. I dind't think I'd be there longer than 6 months and this month marks 3 years! I have been so blessed to be able to travel and do what I love. I've been to Asia 4 times in the last 4 years. A testiment to God's sense of humor since I never had any desire to go to Asia :) But if I'd gone to work anywhere else, my opportunities to travel probably woudln't have been available. So, things that happened today to make me write this... I had jumbalaya and fresh, as in I co...

Barn Party 2007

I had a great time tonight at the 3rd Annual Barn Party! For the first time I entered into the chili contest and the pie contest. I was quite surprised to actually win both! Of course, mine was the only fruit pie, but I was up against some tough competition with spicy chili. Especially since I don't really like chili, or spicy stuff. I had Crista taste it first, and then another friend. I actually didn't taste it until after Stess had put some in her bowl. Wow it was spicy! I do have a funny story to go along with my items. Pictures are worth a thousand words, unfortunately I don't have a picture of this, so you'll have to use your imagination. On the way to the party Stess had the crock pot of Chili sitting in a large cardboard box on her lap. In her hand was the pie in it's pie plate. We were driving her little Mustang and I was driving, trying to do so carefully so as not to spill the chili or dump the pie. We went up a small hill and realized that the chili wa...
