So it's been a month...

I thought i would update this more, but guess not. oh well, it's mine i can do whatever i want with it. sittin here on my day off, just relaxing is exactly what i need. the past 2 weeks have been pretty busy. they included traveling to minnesota for a great family reunion, and then this past week i was at jr camp. working with 4-6 graders really is a test of patience, considering i haven't interacted with that age group for some time. don't get me wrong, i had a great time, including being mr beaver in the narnia skits, but of course i had to put up with a lot of complaining and disrespect, but i survived. ive seen the new transformers movie twice now, and i HIGHLY recommend it. there is a little more language than the first one, and girls being shown as sexual items a little too much, other than that, it's got sweet action and sweet cars. including a SIIIIIIIIIIICK silver corvette. also since living with the zakahis, ive been introduced to martial arts movie. i watched one of jackie chans earliest films, drunken master, and though i we didn't finish it, it was pretty awesome/hilarious. terrible cheesy acting and incredible fighting scenes, just like jackie chan does now, but more intense. so yea it's been fun. i'm looking forward to going to the mariners/indians game on in a couple weeks. never would i thought i'd be watchin my indans all the way in seattle. church softball has been going well. even though last week we had a low number, we still were able to make it work and i think everyone had fun. tonight should be more people now that the youth are back from mexico. i heard that trip went well and one of the guys in the youth group who has been coming for a little while accepted Christ and that makes the trip TOTALLY worth it. i was so proud to hear that, as everyone else was too. i watched the pasco fireworks with our college bible study group plus some others. it was along the columbia river and they were pretty cool. so that's how i spent my 4th of july, as well as just relaxing. well as i put on my facebook status, i am getting married in 180 days. i am SO excited to spend my life with such an incredible girl who compliments me so well. even though Katie and i have been a couple thousands of miles away this summer, our love grows stronger and we both are super excited for januaray 2, let alone seeing each other again in less than a month. she is coming out here august 4th so that will be fun. well in the youth group i started teaching sunday mornings for sr high sunday school. after 2 weeks, i'm realizing that even talking for 30 minutes takes a lot of work, but i still don't really need to stress myself. i have plenty of time to be able to prepare as long as i use my time wisely. this coming sunday i am leading music with micah, joel, and jenny so i'm really looking forward to that. micah and i will be duleing guitars, and jenny, joel, and i wil be leading vocally. so as the summer moves along, i am excited to learn more from God and see where he guides me, along with Katie, toward our future.

God Bless
