1st Christmas gift

I was over at Stacy's tonight watching a show, but before we watched it she was showing me a youtube video of Il Divo, a group that she really likes. That got me thinking about a group I heard about last year called "Straight No Chaser". They're an acapella music group that performed back in 1996. Well they have a great video that Stacy has posted on her site. Check it out. They're amazing.
Since Stacy posted the Christmas video I thought I'd post another favorite we watched a few times tonight...



After watching those a few times we saw that the group is back together and has put out a Christmas cd! I love it! Stacy bought me a copy for Christmas so I can enjoy it for years to come.

It's so much fun! It reminds me of all the choirs that I was in growing up. All the Christmas concerts we performed. The acapella songs sung and the fun times.

Thanks Stacy!

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...

Moving

I enjoy my job. I like working with the agents I work with. I like the other Seniors I work with. I really like training new classes. I currently have a good schedule and for the most part, I'm happy with my job. I would however, like to have more responsibility. When I'm training I'm in charge of 20-25 agents, making sure they understand what is going to be expected of them. I get the opportunity to work with them for four weeks and by the end of that time, I've developed pretty good rapport with them. Lately, when I'm not training, I've found myself a bit bored at work. When I'm working as a Senior, I'm wandering the floor helping agents, and I like it, but I'm ready for more. That's why, when about three weeks ago and email came out saying they were hiring three new managers, I figured I'd apply. At first I just thought about it. But soon I had a few managers ask me if I was going to apply. And not the managers that I necessarily...

Destination - La Coruna

I'm going to Spain!!! My flight path was Portland, Oregon to Chichago, Illinois, to Madrid, Spain to A Coruna, Spain.  I was supposed to leave on Thursday morning around 7am and arrive on Friday afternoon around 11:30am.  Caught the "supposed to" did ya?  Well as travel goes, it wasn't exactly according to plan. That's me waiting to board in Portland. Look how happy I am... That's before they announced the delay due to weather.  No worries though, I had a 4 hour layover in Chicago so I just waited it out. We boarded about an hour later than we were originally supposed to.  Once we got onto the tarmac to leave though we got news that Chicago was still having issues and now we had to wait about another 40 minutes. Eventually though, we got in the air. Once we landed in Chicago, because of the delays, there was a back up to get to the gates.  By the time we were able to depart, I'd missed the boarding time for my flight.  I booked it to the g...
