a quick update
My free cable finally came to an end. I figured it would happen sooner or later. Some new people moved in next door and I didn't realize how much I enjoyed that house being empty. It makes me want to live in the country(with no neighbors) that much more. They have two dogs and one is a huge st. bernard. Its really cute and nice. I feel bad for him because his owners leave him outside a lot when they are home and they're not home often. Poor guy. I feed him treats when he's outside and they're not home. I kind of want to steal him and find a better home for him. He sits on the edge of the porch and just looks and Skyler. He is the first dog that she has never barked at. Its kind of funny to watch. All I can picture going through her mind is, damn, you're HUGE!.
On other news about dogs, as you may have read in Liv's LJ, we're getting another dog. It isnt the one I had in mind originally but I think this one would fit in better. He's name is Rudy and he's a lab/pitbull mix. He's about 6 months old and really cute. I think we'll be getting him something this weekend(depending on a few other little things).
I've got a job at the bike shop(Riverfront Cycle) for the summer. I'm really excited about it. It won't be much money, but I'll get sweet discounts and have fun working there. I've been spending time up there right now because I'm building my new bike. My other frame got broken and I swindeled trek into giving me a new and upgraded frame with pretty paint. So I took all the parts off the old bike, upgraded a few and I'm almost done putting the new bike together. I'm going in there today after work to finish it up. I've got to wrap the handlebars, and adjust the derailleurs. Then it will be ready to roll.
I'm going back to school this fall to finish up the prerequisites for the nursing program at LCC. I got kind of stressed when I looked at it because I would have only two semisters before I had to apply and I would have to go full-time to finish the classes in time. So I was talking to Liv about it last night and she wants me to quit BioPort and go to school full-time and maybe find a part time job(can we say, bike shop?). What an awesome future wife. I'm so glad because I CANNOT stay at BioPort for another year. So please pray for us that things will work and I can quit in the fall or winter of this year.
One last thing. I couldn't make it to sunday school last sunday because I had to work and I didn't feel good. I didn't want to give the kids my cold. As I was walking through the hall on the way to the 11am service, the guy I teach with informed me that he won't be teaching sunday school with me anymore. I was kind of shocked but at the same time, not really. He's a good guy but he has some things going on in his life that he needs to deal with. So its probably for the better. I think God has really used this experience of me teaching sunday school in a good way. When I first started last summer, I didn't want to talk in front of the kids at all. Two sundays ago, I did the lesson by myself. My class was about 15-20 4th and 5th grade boys. So, once again, I will have 15-20 4th and 5th grade boys with no help. As long as I keep it fun, it'll be fine but I'm still a little nervous. So please pray for me about that too.
