School Starts Soon!

Hey everyone!

Well, for those of you who don't know, my parents went to Washington D.C. for a long weekend as part of a business trip that Dad had. Talked to them tonight as they were standing on the grounds near the Lincoln Memorial. I think it would be so neat to go visit D.C. and to see all of the historical sites that are dedicated to those in the history of this great country. I told Mom that it sounded like she was having too much fun and that I was very jealous!!! ;) lol

Well, as far as school, my first day is August 31! I talked to my old job with California Psych Care today and they are hiring me back on again which is great! I have also signed on with Usborn Books. You know those Mary Kay parties? Or Scencey? Well this is along the same lines, just with books! Which, frankly, I think is a lot better, and being such a book lover and avid reader myself, a lot more fun! The neat thing about that is that I am a consultant for the rest of my life and I can back off of it if things get too crazy for me.

Please pray for me. I have a lot going on and a lot of decisions to make. Life is just crazy!!!

Well, I gotta get up early in the morning so I will post again later. When my parents return, I will post D.C. pictures that they brought home!

Night =)

End of the Summer.... Already?

Wow, this summer really flew by fast! I am starting to understand what adults mean when they said that time flys faster the older you get. I will soon be looking back on 20 years and it seems to have gone by quick.

I am heading back to school at the end of the month. Please pray for me. I have several decisions to makes concerning jobs and such. I am very excited to get back to school and the schedule of things there. I will miss my family though!

Tomorrow will be the 2 month anniversary of my Grandpa's death. I still think of him often. Not to seem weird or morbid, but has gotten me thinking. He wasn't ready to die - he wanted to keep living. Yet his body was done. I don't know how long my body (or mind!) will last. God knows what He's doing and all I can do is try to get back to where he wants me and quit wandering off!

Well, I gotta go for now. Just wanted to let you all know what was going on with me!

Funny

Okay guys, just a little comic I thought was funny and wanted to share the laugh! lol :)

Summer Update

Hey everyone! Hope your summers are going well. I have had a blast this past week. We had two guys from West Coast, Chris and Josiah come out. They helped my pastor out with door knocking and physical labor around the church property. They also hung out with us quite a bit towards the end of the week:

On Friday, July 3rd, we had a group of people come out to the house for a BBQ before heading out to town to watch the fireworks. We played volleyball for a quite a while.

Saturday, July 4th, we headed over to a church members' home for another BBQ and several more hours of volleyball! And for my hard work, I received a whopping big sun burn!!!! AHHH!!! But that's okay.... I'm hoping that it will turn into a tan (somewhat anyway....)

Sunday after church, we had the guys and our Pastor and wife over for lunch. We had some more fellowship (and hamburgers!) After church, a group of us headed over to some sand volleyball courts and played until we couldn't see the ball anymore. We then headed to McDonalds for some ice cream. We had a pretty good time.

Overall, I am pumped to play some more volleyball!..... Okay, maybe after my arms have a chance to rest up! lol Have a great day!

I Got a Job!

Hey everyone! How's the summer going?

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have landed a job with Avalanche Systems. Here's the lowdown: I work from home or where ever, I work as many hours as I want (after the required amount), and I can take this job with me back to school! Isn't that awesome! God is good!

Another blessing is that my Grandma and Grandpa Schallenberger are out to visit. We will enjoy having them for a few days.

Night!

Home Sweet Home

I must say that no matter where you go in the world, it is always nice to be back at home again. We left for Colorado Saturday, June 6th and just got back late last night around 11 pm. This trip has proven to be pretty interesting as V went in to the ER early Sunday morning and had her appendix removed around noon that day! Crazy huh? Pray for her as she recovers. =)

The funeral for my Grandpa was on last Tuesday and it went smoothly. It was hard to say good-bye but we did it. We got to see a lot of family and friends that we haven't seen in quite a while, so that part was nice.

Now that we are back home, I am on kid duty and looking for work. I need to earn a lot of money before the fall in order to go back to school. I am waiting on shifts at Firehouse Pizzeria where I worked my senior year. I am also looking into other positions that I hear about.

Well, that's all for now.

Prayer Please

Hey everyone. I am sorry to report that my grandpa passed away on Thursday, June 4, 2009. I believe that he passed without pain and that was the best thing. We are trusting God that he made a decision for Christ before he passed. Leaving it in God's hands is the best thing. Please pray for us as we travel back to Colorado to for the funeral. Thank you so much for your prayers. I will update when I get back!
