Credentials

OK I have been in the Credentials process for 3 yrs and I go today to plea for another year. To be honest I don't deserve it. I haven't done anything but really I haven't seen the point. In recent days I have had a change of opinion and decided to write my first paper. With the help of a friend I am hoping for one more year and I will work hard to get things done and fulfill what is required. I am asking for a small prayer so that I may get another chance.

Florida, Italy and a New House

As I have made mention before these past months have been busy and hectic. Again the reason why The (heart) of a Youth Volunteer no longer exist (at least for the time being). First off, it has been insanely busy here at work. I have been testing some new computer componants that might help the business be more "effective" and will hopefully soon come up with a solution that will satisify the management and employees and allow us to see how we manage time. With that I have done some training for Microsoft Project but again we have yet to decide if we are going that route.

A couple of months ago my wife and I made a plan to buy a house in May. With our agreement we decided to look for "ideas" on what we would like, this would give us a price that we could work toward. After looking through all the houses on our list (via Yahoo Reality) we started to just drive around until we came up to this house:

It had a "For Sale by Owner" sign, so we decided to call and the next day we looked at the house falling almost in love immediately. This past month and a half we have been working with a mortgage company and the home owners and were recently "officially" approved and will be closing sometime in October. We have some ideas for our area but we are happy and excited about this new venture.

Next week we go to Lake Wales, FL to see our new nieces, Anna and Wren both were born within the past several months. This is my vacation time so I plan on relaxing but at the same time it will be busy with visiting people.

I get back the following week and have a week at home before I fly off to....wait for it....ITALY. This is PURELY a business trip but I have never flown outside the US and so I am bit nervous but very excited. The reason I am going is to learn the "computer aspects" of a new machine we will be receiving in the shop.

See it has been busy and its going to get busier, I don't really expect a slow down until close to January 2009. I will keep you posted on these new exciting things and anything else that might be coming up in the near future.
