Good Monday :-p

By now most of you know (via Rachel's blog) about my new job. I'm up at 4 AM because I have to be in Bellvue at 6:30, we're helping with the YMCA that's being built there. I was going to trick certain people by saying I had been to the Y today, and then filling them in as to why I was at the Y, but I'll let that one go :-p It's been interesting so far, I've learned a lot in the short time I've been at it. I'm thinking about going to school in the evenings to learn more about electric work, so I can make more money faster, but that will depend on a bunch of things. It's good experience at any rate, I'm glad I have the oppertunity. I'm still working at Menlo (3COM) in the afternoons from 3:30 to 6:45, this has been interesting, especially thursday when Jerry left me there by myself and a pallet truck came in the middle of a bad thunderstorm and I had to unload it and store 200 empty pallets in the back of the warehouse, I didn't get out of there until 8:15 or so, it was kind of creepy being the only person in that place in a thunderstorm, good thing those things don't bother me anymore ;-) We had an awesome weekend last weekend, I left from work Friday night, to go get Rach in AR, I took "power naps" on the way at rest areas and along the road on the two lane road, whenever I would start fighting sleep, One time the news paper lady woke me up and asked if I was working with the workers at this school I was in front of, I said "nope just sleepin", she said ok go back to sleep I just can't get in there to leave the paper because they have it blocked off, so I got back on the road, it was wild to watch the sunset and then rise again while I was still driving, I loved it, the Ozark sunrise was gorgeous, with the fog lifting out of the valleys, I miss that part of the country somtimes(just not the lack of jobs and churches) don't get too excited Mama J, haha. We had a great visit after I got there at 8, Rachel was a sight for sore eyes after three weeks apart, don't plan on doing that again anytime soon, although absense does make the heart grow fonder, :-) We spent time with her parents and younger siblings saturday, and we ended up being able to have lunch with her brother Josh who was on leave from Iraq and his wife at a chinese resturant before we left town sunday, I really enjoied that and Rachel did even more so. I'm off to finish getting ready for work, everybody have a good monday, :-p
