P.S. - ONE YEAR

P.S. - I'm in Orlando, FL right now! Just like this time last January. This is almost habitual.

There are two issues on my mind.

1) There are no fun-loving kids (like Madelyn and Collin!) here to make this experience as magical.

2) Harry Potter Wizarding World is going to be M-to the-AGICAL!

ONE YEAR!

So, I haven't written on this blog in, literally, over a year. Hectic, eh? I know that some of you out there get updates whenever I do happen to write on here. It just brings me a little joy to think that you were notified because I merely made an observation about my own blog.

Love you...

Really...

Upcoming trip.

Well, I must say that this trip that we, as a family and Sasha, are going on to Disney World next week should be interesting. That castle, the characters, the kids, the sweet suite, the warmer weather, the food, the fun.

Hope you're all doing well. It's been somewhat dismal around here (meaning that my life hasn't taken and exciting form) but hopefully things will pick up with two jobs.

Tomorrow I'm going in at 8 AM for training at Kwik Trip. How excited am I? VERY! Something to do, gainful employment and networking.

Can't say too much right now because American Idol is on and I really don't want to type anything further. Goodnight.

Christmas?

Well, tonight the dad, mom and sister arrive in La Crescent for an evening of festivities and eating. What else would we do? Food is how we fellowship?

I've been in an odd place these last few days. There are some rocky patches in my life right now that have hurt my feet to get over. True that there are always things that will push us beyond where we want to go. God is going to take care of this...even though I can't really see what's going to happen. Seems to be this way a lot.

BUT...it's always going to be good.

Whoever you are...I love you...

610 N. Third Street

Good evening, my friends.

I'm sitting in my basement abode talking on the phone (with Sasha) and enjoying the warm ambiance created by wood patent paneling that covers all of the walls of my room. It's alright, I don't mind. Never will I ever be at home in this world. That's a comforting feeling, though, because a restless, adventurous spirit has filled me and there's so much to do.

Living with Benjamin, Kristine, Madelyn and Collin has been a great encouragement to me. The kids come down and visit me now and then but it's never annoying. Collin woke me up this morning ...

KNOCK KNOCK
"Who iiiis it?"
"Aaaaaaah!" (as he runs over to me and jumps on top of my covers)

It was nice. After looking at the clock, shock and shame filled my mind at seeing that I was still asleep after 9 AM.

Having my keyboard in a setup and usable position is inspiring me to practice and think more about music. Right now more music and stimulus would be good for me.

My brother Benjamin is involved with the opening of a new Kwik Trip store tomorrow so he'll be getting up and leaving the house by 4:45 AM. It's unlikely that he'll be seen off by yours truly in the morning, but who knows, maybe I'll surprise him and make coffee.

LG washers and dryers = very nice. It's the YEAR OF THE APPLIANCES in this house.

Well, I should be asleep and be giving my entire attention to this call. So, until next time...goodnight.

P.S. - Please pray for me to find employment. Kristine is going to a Bible study in the morning and is taking me to the Kohl's area/mall and I will be putting in applications for a couple hours. Thanks.

Finishing Trinidad.

I never did finish writing about my time in Trinidad. It was spectacular. We spent a lot of time just talking and being around the house, walking down the street to the shops, and me being sick and causing strife in my own mind because of the discomfort. I really do complain too much sometimes.

Saying farewell to Sasha at the airport was difficult. Although I knew that we would get together again in a couple weeks, at the time A COUPLE WEEKS seemed like a very long time. Karim (our friend) drove me to the airport and he showed us some things on the way. He was very compassionate about taking us places and providing us some transport.

I returned to the states with yet another adventure and experience behind me, but never apart from me.

A week behind...

I wanted to blog everyday about my trip while being here but due to some unforseen circumstances I have not been able and not taken the time to. Shame... it's been such a beautiful trip and I will look back on it with great joy and appreciation.

The Chalcos have been wonderful to me. Right now my pain killers are kicking in so I need to lay down. Forgive me if I have made anything out to be over-dramatic and life-threatening. I'm fine and will be good soon. Some things are harder to swallow than others.

Goodnight.
