I know it isn't scripture, but it is true nevertheless! Jen and I have been making plans for our life since before we were married and it is amazing how many of our plans have fallen through. But that's ok, something always seems to come up to fill up our time!
We got here in Oregon in December planning on staying until the beginning of March ad then we were going to be on the road again...yet here it is the middle of May...and we are still here.
In the middle of January I got a job as a line cook at a restaurant planning on being there for only 6 weeks. Again here we are in the middle of May and I am now the General Manager of the place in charge of about 17 employees.
What the world?
We went to college to learn how to communicate with people in different countries with the focus of trying to preach to them the Gospel...and we are here in suburbia America.
But it is interesting how much I am using my schooling in the work place. All of our classes focusing on communication with people has helped me so much when it comes to dealing with people in the workplace! Not what I thought I would be using it for...but God knew!
So we are planning, (Again) to be here in Oregon for at least another year. In the fall I am going to start some writing classes and I am pretty excited about that. Our baby is due on 7-11, (or July 11th) so we will have our hands full for the year with baby as well. Throw a full time job as a manager into the mix and it is shaping up to be a crazy year!
Well, it is Saturday and I have a day off and Isabella is about to physically tear me away from the screen so we can go play together...so I will leave you with a few pictures of the ladies.
April 23rd was Jennifers 25th and little Blossoms 1st birthday so we had a party for them both. It is crazy that a year ago Jen was at Blossoms birth, and here we are able to celebrate with her.
Three generations of ladies on mother's day.
Isabella talking to the little one. She is so excited about the baby, please continue praying that everything goes ok...
