Black Friday.....Never Again!

Today was the first time that I have ever went out on Black Friday!!! And the last!!! We got to Wal-Mart in Milford at about 1/4 till 12 last night to get in line for some of the deals. We did get all of the things that we had targeted at Wal-Mart except for one thing (that I can get on ebay or half.com for the same price). So with that said we waited in line strategically placing the six of us all of the stores. We did get to meet a nice Christian family that turns out knows Ray and Melissa and are currently searching for a church home, so I invited them to CP for the Nativity and for church on Sunday. We talked alot about their ministry (musical) and their walks with the Lord as well as ours. So all wasn't lost in a long night of chaos. We also did see some other friendly faces such as Kaitlyn Brock, Jan Strimple (not working, not sure how she pulled that off), John Strimple (working, he got the wrong end of that deal, lol), Robin saw Mark Day (at Kmart when we went to pick up Mom from work). So it was a fun yet very tiring day, but as I stated earlier I will never do it again!

Warning...Cookie Monster (Aka. Dan Simpson) Is out and on the streets!

Watch out for this shady character today (his name is Dan Simpson) and he has a serious cookie problem. If you see him near the cookies ask him to kindly set them down and step away. If he resists take out your emergency Oreo baggies and lure him away from the table with those. After he is lured away take him to the nearest phone and call the cookie hotline @ 1-800-ohmyU812. HE NEEDS HELP. DO YOUR PART!

New Movie Review!

Today was a pretty fun day. I got to work at home on some product knowledge. Worked a little on my income tracker. Then I laid down for a brief nap since I have been a tad bit under the weather this week.

After all of that I was awakened by the news that Josh Morgan was here. So I got up to keep the house civilized. Austin and Josh took turns getting beat at Connect 4 while Robin was working for a bit. Josh is a good kid. Very well mannered and well behaved. Good Job Dave and Lisa (Lisa we know all of the credit goes to the ladies of the house).

Anyways we went to see Madagascar 2. This evening we ended up having to push it back till 9:30 because Julie went to dinner with her Papa and I had been promising her all week I was going to take her. We all loved it. It was as good as the first movie and I gotta say that I love King Julian (you know the lemur guy who sings "I like to move it". That dude cracked me up. Plus the new characters and the penguins always rock! Great Movie. Worth a trip to the movies or a DVD buy!

Contracted or Contracted?

So this has been a very eventful/uneventful week. I contracted some kind of allergy/flu like symptoms that for whatever reason I just cannot shake for the life of me. I had a fever most of the day on Wed. Thursday I got up went to work saw a couple of clients had Julie's parent teacher conferences and came home to only have my fever go up again and felt like a semi-truck had hit me.

So this has been a very eventful/uneventful week. I finally got contracted with most of my companies that I have been patiently waiting on. Good news is, I am finally able to submit business in my own name to get paid on it. Which eliminates some huge worries and relieves a ton of weight off of my shoulders. God has been diligent with His promises. I am relieved that I know how good He has been at providing for me and my family.

Two different types of Contracted both in the same week.

Center Pointe Small Groups Sign

About 4 weeks ago and I came home to a note attached to our door from the zoning commission in Blanchester. First of all, isn't Blanchester too small to have it's own zoning commission. The note was somebody apparently complained about our sign in our yard. They asked us to move it closer to the house and we complied and moved it about 5 feet closer to the house. Well then about a week ago my landlord and his newlyweded wife came down to fix a few things this week. They have been married since March and we had not seen them in a year and a half since we moved into our house. Well they started to fix our toilet which was leaking a little and Nick (our landlord) messed up the new seal he had bought and had to run out to get a new one. As he and his wife came back in she heard my Klove mix that I had playing from my laptop as I worked. So it started an afternoon conversation about our faith and we realized how much we had in common. It was a wonderful afternoon. Julie (his wife) also noticed our Small Group sign and commented on it and said how wonderful it was that we had it up and that they too attend a Small Group. Yeah! So we told them the story about us displaying our sign and the original request to take it down and they said "don't do it". So today I am sitting at the house working and my cell phone rings. It's the guy from the zoning commission again. He said we have to take down our sign! Supposedly because we are advertising for our church (by the way a non-profit organization) and I pollitely told him that there was absolutely no chance that I was taking it down. He said he understood how I felt and that there would be a zoning meeting that I could go to to dispute these claims. I told him disputed or not I am not taking down my sign. I live in America where I have the freedom to worship where and when I want to and I will be dead before that gets taken away from me. God has done too much in my life over the last few months for me to turn my back on Him and not to honor Him by leaving this sign. He has and always be my Ultimate Deliverer and why would He stop in this case!

Sarah is the News....Simspon...Not Palin!

Well after we had pretty much made our house look like Hiroshima after a few bombs had been dropped on it by rearranging the living room, and dining room. I came accross this picture of Sarah Simpson and I quote her husband Dan by saying "Far Out" lol. Sorry Sarah was a funny pic with the tydyed shirt and all. Had to post it, Please don't hurt me!
