Weekend of fun


On Saturday March 14th, Neal, Chris and I went out for an adventure deep, deep in the woods. okay, well it wasn't that deep. Trillium Lake was looking absolutely beautiful with all the snow up there. We cross country skied for about a quarter mile, then took off a little bit from the main trail and started to build our tower of babel in the snow. Neal was the compactor machine, and Chris was the backhoe... and I was the one warming my hands under the tree.. ha ha, well I was till they caught me. We made a HUGE mound of snow, compressed it all, then started to dig. Since we didn't get started on the trip until around 3:30 that afternoon, we ended up completing our snow cave in the dark. We didn't any time to goof off in the daylight, but I had a blast. We ate some amazing things for dinner; Instant mashed potatoes, little smokeys in BBQ sauce, Gatorade, and White Cheddar Cheese-its. They were simply delicious. Throughout the night there were little drips here and there. We had to sit up and pat the ceiling where it was happening and it usually took care of the problem.

When we went to bed we could stand on our knees, but when we woke up we couldn't. the ceiling had sagged that much. Of course we had a HUGE cave, so I guess its understandable.

Still Rockin'...

Well its been about a month since I was laid off, a little more. I have interviewed with Lease Crutcher Lewis, they are an awesome contractor down here, but they havent been getting back to me, which leads me to believe that they might be considering someone else. The projects that they were going to put me on got moved back so I am looking at another 2 to 3 weeks before I get an answer. I would bet on about 3 1/2 weeks.... =)

Still looking to sell the truck, and rent my place out. I need a job before I can rent it out. Otherwise I will have to pay someone to have someone else come in and fix a few things in my house.

Uganda is getting closer. I have gotten a few steps closer to getting some playground equipment, I need to get it soon. our container is going to be shipping here pretty soon. The meetings have been going well, and we have all of our team selected with the exception of 1 spot still open. Jenny is coming this year, which I am very excited about. We still have a bunch of fundraisers that we need to do, and things of that nature. The time is coming soon, I hope that it is still in God's Plan for me to go this year. I am pretty sure it is. I know that He will get me there.

Be praying for my job. that is the first order of business.
