I love my church!!

I must admit I have been a total bum this week!  My church (Faith Memorial Church in Sandusky, Ohio) closes our offices from Christmas to New Years.  I don't really know why other than it has something to do with what the factories do here in town and they did the same with the church offices.  It is such an awesome week!  I get 3 weeks vacation plus this week.  It is great time to spend with my family... we can get things done around the house, go shopping and simply recoup from the Christmas madness.  I will say after  a few days I am already getting anxious to do something... I still have another week until I am back in the office (other than sunday).  I am so tempted to work on church stuff, but am trying to make myself do other things that need to be done.

Well I hope you all enjoy your last week of 2007!  Have a great week!

UPDATE: Big Decision

I have appreciated all the feedback and input regarding the house we were looking at...it has also reminded me in the busyness of the last couple of weeks that I have forgotten to update you regarding that house...we were going to put an offer on the house, however, someone else bought...and for way more money that what I was willing to pay...so no mold house...which is okay...like I told our realtor, we were trying to get a steal...not many houses come along where you have that kind of opportunity to move in with ALOT of equity...so the search continues...

Again I appreciate all the input!

Mac

Just a quick check into the blogosphere...I am in KC visiting my family for the week.  It has been good to be back and see all the changes to my old stomping grounds...but more on that in the future. 

After at least 4-5 years of talking about it, I have finally gotten my Mac!!  I was able to order my new 15 inch Macbook Pro before we left and had it shipped to my mom's house.  It arrived on Monday and I have been in heaven ever since!

Please be praying for Meg, the girls and I.  We have all been kind of sick and really just not feeling to well since we got here...Meg and I have had trouble sleeping (thats why I am writing this at 5:45am).  Any way we head back to Ohio on Saturday!  Look forward to getting home to my own bed, but sure is good getting to spend time with my family!

Big Decision

Meg and I have been looking at house on and off for the past several months. Our realtor emailed us on Friday with a house that has a ton of potential and could possibly be bought for an ridiculous price. The kicker is this...it has a real bad mold problem!! It is a repo that has been vacant for over a year and half. If we buy it, fix it up we could have a house that is almost 3,000 sq. feet and a ridiculous amount of equity when we move in...here is a pic of the outside:

I have always thought I was a person that took risk, but when something like this comes around and when the rubber meets the road...I am a big chicken! I am taking all the advice I can get so if ya got any please feel free to give it!!!

Please be praying with us!!

Oh...by the way...

For the 2 people that read this blog...one other piece of cool news...we found out that Meg is pregnant. She goes to the doctor's a week from tomorrow, so we will find out the date and all that kind of good stuff...so I will let you know more then!

In case my parents run across this blog...we planned to suprise you when we got to KC...so don't be mad!

It's Christmas Time

Sorry it has been a little while since posting, had a crazy Thanksgiving with Meg being sick so we missed out on the turkey this year. Since then my schedule has been kind of crazy. Getting ready to video tape our kids production next weekend. Spent several days this week creating a "poor mans tv studio." There is a part for the production where I had to film a girl in front of a green screen and then put a weather map behind her...it went really well and I got the lighting situation figured out...FINALLY!

This week I have to build 2 camera platforms for the sanctuary, prepare for Axiom on Wednesday night, finalize my budgets for 08...and the list goes on! So please forgive me if my post are kind of hit and miss for the next couple of weeks...we leave for KC on the 15th and that will mark the end of the craziness for december, so I hope to catch up then...

Later
