More More!

First Post in like 3 months

"Just trying to bend the truth..." :-)

Hey everyone. It's really been a while since I've done anything on this blog, something that I'm sure the 6 or 7 people who visit here already know! But it's mostly for good reasons, and I'll hopefully be posting more as time goes on, if the Lord thinks it's a good idea.

Skipping past Home Censure, reason #1 is... I had tonsillitis. Pretty badly too. The whole affair lasted more than a week... you would have thought I'd have had time to post stuff, just laying there in bed for that long. I guess not being able to swallow made me forget about it. :-)

Reason #2... Been doing a whole lot of this (see below)



That is, been doing lots and lots of work. Ignore the fact that I'm actually just pretending to work in these pics... it was for real this time. :) We had to build a loft (look it up, they're so hot right now) in time for our resident pregnant mother (Amanda) to give birth, and it left us about 3 days from start to finish to get that whole thing up. That meant working till considerably late hours of the night, such as 1:00, 3:00, and finally 5:00 A.M on the last day. It was intense, and I'm so glad I was able to take part. Gabriel and I discovered when you stay up working till 4:00 A.M you start to say really profound and unexpected words, ones you didn't even think were in your vocabulary, and lose feeling in the tips of your fingers.
Needless to say, we had a great time. Here's some one-word praises from this time:

Thank you Lord for...

-coffee
-as
-thick
-as
-maple syrup

Speaking of coffee... since Daylight Savings robbed me of an hour of sleep I've had a really hard time keeping my eyes open at devotions... usually I can manage staying awake for at least half. I hope everyone else sleeps better than I do.. :)

My new home is cool....interesting and definitely different then thee Rescate.... but I'm enjoying it....LOVE YOU ALL!!!

HAPPY HAPPY!

Happy Valentines DAY!!

The breaking of the Felllowship

It had to happen, it was only a matter of time really.

I pretty much never thought me and Richard would be apart for like, more than a couple days.

But then he started talking about ridiculous things like "going", "moving", "relocating", and "head", and I knew something would happen soon. One thing led to another, and before you know it, he's out of Rescate's door faster than you can say renovate an orphanage.
Even though I've only known him for a year or so, that time's been packed with too many awesome and crazy fun memories to count. Let's see if I can think a few:

-Game nights with beer, sprite and enough laughter to give most normal people heart attacks.
-Movie watching-times... and see above, except add on more laughter if it was a black movie :)
-Doing lots of construction, yard work, and ballooning while discussing women
-Walmart trips on freedays
-Feria del Taco trips on freedays
-Valle Oriente trips on freedays
-Partying a really large amount, with our prize-winning dance moves in abundance
-Singing songs beautifully until Richy starts to harmonize and I follow or go off key...
-Exchanging Roman handshakes and high fives at every opportunity to the chargrin of our Home members
-Beating pretty much everyone who ever played against us in soccer, while discussing women.
-Our many travels throughout Monterrey, Mexia and ... other places
-Basically, us being insane and crazy hombres for Jesus at every opportunity

So as you can see, Richy's been an integral part to pretty much the whole time I've lived here and then some. And if the Brotherhood of Love were a pie chart, there'd be a big quarter piece missing out of it.

But as much as I think he's a complete sleeve on wizard for leaving, I know it's for the best and there's probably all sorts of really sweet and incredible things around the corner for him, which totally won't be a waste of your talent, Randy.
Anyways I love you lots man... it's been great living with you... hope to see you sometime soon...we'll watch a prison break episode and discuss women. si siempre quedas afuera de la galleta, todo seria bien... dame cinco huey!
YAy :)
