To blog or not to Blog

That is the question. So the answer must be "I reckon it is time to blog again." Maybe I might even get some responses. Hehehe. Well today starts another work week. Last week was pretty cool workwise. I got the new van I was talking about. I also got my company credit card that mine and your tax dollars pay for. Don't worry I will use it wisely. Oh it only costs you if you live in Tennessee. So you out of towners can ease your minds on that one.
On another note, I would like to thank the Lord for taking care of me and Kasey. I know that He will never let us do without the things we need if we live according to his will. I want to let Him know publicly that I appreciate it. Well I s'pose it is time to get off here for now.

Its finally Friday

Thank the Lord for another weekend. Now it is time to relax a little bit so maybe I will do some stuff around the house. It was a short work week since I had monday off, but we had a sort of busy week. This probably sounds cheesy but I am excited about getting a new van on my Metro job. They are finally replacing the one I have been driving. It is nice cause I don't have to buy it or pay for the fuel that it uses. I have been really blessed with a good job and thank the Lord for it. I am also thankful that He blessed Kasey with the job she has and that she seems to enjoy it. I know that life is not all about work but it does make a difference when you can enjoy what you do. Well I guess I'm thru rambling for now. Have a good weekend!

Use sound if you have it.
The tune playing is Seven Spanish Angels.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everybody. I hope everyone had a good Christmas holiday. We had a great time in Idaho, and went skiing while we were there. I took out part of their net fence to keep you on the path. We fell off the end of the ski lift where you are supposed to ski off out of the way. That was really funny... at least to me. The guy operating the lift didn't seem to think so though. I ran across the back of this woman's ski board but didn't knock her down but then I ran into Kasey and we fell down together. Aww, how sweet. Kasey laughed at me when she found out I was falling over to stop cause I didn't want to go too fast and kill someone or even myself. We were sore after our outing but I would do it again. We had a great time visiting her family and I did some painting for her grandmother and her aunt. Well I guess that is about all I have for now.
