Well, it’s been a while since I last wrote so you can probably tell we’ve been busy. Brooke is finally done with Grandview College for a while, but she is still going to DMACC for another week. Then June 1st she starts summer classes at DMACC. We went to MN last weekend for 4 days. We went to see her dad play in a pool tournament in Rochester. My cousin Corey was in MN working with my dad so we hung out with him. And Devin, Brooke’s sister, came down for the weekend too. Brooke’s dad took us to a shooting range. I shot a .22, .357, and a 9mm. All hand guns. It was fun and we got to keep our targets. We also went to a big church in the cities. The pastor was John Piper, a famous pastor and author. We stayed in the twin cities with her mom Thursday night and came up to eat lunch with her after church Sunday. We also got bikes! I bought one at target and she got her mom’s old one. We haven’t got to go yet, but we’re going to try this weekend, weather permitting. Business is slow again, but it’s always up and down. Other than that I’ve been REALLY busy with stuff at church. Sound, making videos of services, creating a video presentation for a girl going to Israel, working on new software that uses moving back grounds for our music lyrics on the screen during worship, wedding videos, and…. Obviously not my website. Sorry about that, we need to get some more topics going on the forum. Hopefully I’ll get some more time here soon to add some new funnies and stories. Don’t forget you can add your own stuff too!

Finally, rain… I thought it was called “April showers, brings May flowers” This was the first time it has rained all month! And when it rains, it pours. Well, car sales have improved. Actually enough to pay our taxes even! We have some busy months ahead of us with 3-4 weddings, the church directory, Brooke is doing finals now and then she’ll start the summer semester. We’re coming to MN the weekend of the 24th of April. Anyone want to hook up let us know! Our numbers are under the contact section. Hope to hear from you! I gotta go to work now so see ya later!

Not much happening lately. Some big news for my cousin though. They are having another baby!!! Yippie!! We got our picture taken for the church directory yesterday. Now I’m finally in there as a married man! Next we’ll get to be in there with kids! Well I’m off to work today and then going to church to take pictures of the play. I’ll write again when there’s more exciting news.

Well, I just wanted to tell about some doors that have been opened for me in the past week. The church has come to me and asked to do many new things. First is the church directory. Basically I have to build 10 pages on the computer of pictures of people at the church, kinda like a year book at schools. I’ve been taking lots of pictures and trying to figure out this program I’m building it on. It’s a lot of fun. Then when I was in the church office trying to figure out some things for the directory, I was asked to help run the new video camera for the church. I’ll just say it’s not a home video camera, this is a serious camera. When I figure out what model it is I’ll post it under the Technology section of the forum. Well then one of the pastors daughters wants me to video her wedding with it. And set up her lights. A few days later the head of sound for the church asked me to come train in the sound room. I can believe it. The verse that says, “…He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.” That verse has been proven in just a few days and I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more to come. Of course I did pray that God wouldn’t give me more than I can handle. I want to do my best for Him and not be distracted with too many things. I just want to encourage you that if you’ve been waiting for God to show you what to do… just wait. ‘Cause when it rains, it pours.

We made it back safe and sound. We are really tired so we’ll have to catch up with the forum and new members tomorrow. Brooke is off for spring break all week so she will be writing a lot this week I’m sure. Talk to you all later.

Well for some reason my website is down. I did go to my providers website and they looked like they upgraded their site, so maybe that had some effect on me. So, I decided to write on my blog since I can’t do anything else :) We are going to MN this weekend to see Brooke’s dad. My sister(Lacee) is also going with me. It’s supposed to be cold and wet while we’re up there. We’ve been trying to go for 3 weeks but we’ve been too busy. Now we’re going to miss my uncle Robert’s retirement party. Worse yet, his mother just died recently and I would like to be there just to cheer him up. It’s hard to balance family when they live so far apart. And when I have my own business and Brooke is full time in college. Speaking of which, she’ll be in school constantly now until she graduates and then even the summer after that. This summer she is taking 2 classes at DMACC so she can graduate after 4 years of college. The one summer class after graduation is actually an internship not a class. I’m planning on starting next fall at DMACC. Ok, I’m going to see if ahhyeah.com is back online. Sorry to all who tried to get on and were unsuccessful.

I’ve been working on the forum a lot lately. Last night I added a bunch of new smilies. It took forever. I was worth it not only for the smilies, but now I know I can modify my forum to the way I want it. Next I’m adding a calendar and voting polls. Last night we went to “The Big Steer” Mmmm, it’s supposed to be a steak house but we got onion rings and fish :) I get the left over for lunch today. Should be better than the peanut butter and jelly from yesterday. It’s raining and raining. We actually had flood warnings yesterday. I can’t wait until it gets warmer so I can start working on my fish pond again. Last year I was at the pet store and they had a grocery cart full of water plants. I asked how much the whole cart would be and they gave me like 75% off with a managers discount of like 10% so the whole cart was around 15$ when the plants themselves are around $5 a piece. So my pond will be a swamp with so many plants… I have a sweet plan drawn up of how I’m going to do it. I’ll show some pics of before and after later on this summer. Speaking of pictures, here’s some pictures of me and Brian unloading that HUGH power supply.
