Water Under the Bridge

Well, a lot has happened since the last time I posted an entry. Lissy graduated from Spring Valley. We went down there for the weekend and there were 21 family members and one boyfriend that came up for the different events. We had a lot of fun. We've also found out that Liz got a job at Borges hospital in the Med-surge unit. I'm proud and happy for her. I just finished my Jewish Life and Thought class today. Oh and two days ago I got a weight bench from the Whites. I like it because it has a separate wide rack for the weights. It's nice and Sam gave me the olympic bars and weights that go with it. I've figured out that I need to deadlift to balance out my posterior chain of muscles. I've learned how to deadlift with proper form and I think that it's going to be beneficial.

Shabbat Shalom

It's Friday evening and the Sabbath is almost here. Today was a full day. I went to work at Guest Services around eight thirty. I was pretty busy, although I had a lot of fun joking around with Marcus, Vincent and Chabu. We were anticipating all the people coming for the Yugoslavian Sabor conference today. While I was working Matthew stayed home with Liz. He was sick again today. I came home around twelve and then Liz and Matthew went with Mary Ellen, our neighbor to plant some fruits, vegetables and other things in Niles. I went back to work. But this time I worked with Marcus in the Campus Center and we sold Meal Cards to the Yugoslavians. I had a good time. I got off at six and after eating dinner I convinced Liz and a napping Matthew to go to Udder's for ice cream. Then Liz decided to go for a drive and we went out down old 31 towards Benton Harbor. We ended up at an old Antique shop on Shawnee Rd. There were two nice people a man and woman that ran the place. Liz got two ...

Lost Tie

Liz found my striped green tie today. It's been missing for over six months. I really like that tie so I'm excited. I'm going to wear it on Sabbath. Liz has moved around our bed so that the books are closest to the window. Our floor spaced is more broken up but I think it will work better for us. Well, I have to go to my Jewish Life and Thought class in a few minutes. Dr. Doukhan is gone again today so are going to watch a video. I hope it is informative.

Shrekday

We saw Shrek 3 today. It was all right. I think that the change in directors didn't benefit the movie however. It was not as edgy as the others and there wasn't any new material. We also went to Cafe Gulistan today. It is a Turkish restaurant . We enjoyed it but the food was very expensive. With groceries going to Carrabba's on Friday, gas, the movie and Cafe Gulistan we spent a fortune this weekend. On another note I was able to finish reading Paul's epistles for class. Liz is happy because some of her favorite shows are on tonight.

End of the school week

So I'm done with my first week of class for the summer because you know school's really not out for the summer. Anyway today was pretty busy. I went to the only scheduled class I had today--Pauline Writings. I learned again. I'm happy. Then I went to work where I lifted heavy chairs up from a basement to a chapel. For the rest of work I talked with my coworkers and spent time on the internet. After work I took Matthew to McDonald's and then I went to Taco Bell. The wait was enormous. After that Matthew cleaned his room, I cleaned the basement and then I went for a run with Matthew following behind for the first mile with his scooter. He left after that and went to the woods. Liz came home and we all went to Mishawaka to pick up our other laptop at a Fedex location. It's been repaired for the second time. Then we went to Carrabbas and finally to the Meier to get our weekly groceries. On the way back I realized it was Pappaw's birthday. So I called him and talked ...

SmallCSI

The season finales of Smallville and CSI are on in a few minutes. We just got back from preregistration at Ruth Murdoch. We helped with some games and got Matthew squared away for third grade next year. Right now Liz is reading Tarzan to Matthew. I just had one class today--Pauline Writings. My Jewish Life and Thought class was canceled while Doukhan is out in California. I was able to finish reading Romans and I read the majority of 1 Corinthians as well. Well I have to go.... Smallville is on!

Thunderstorms

Matthew's soccer game was canceled today because of the thunderstorms. After learning about the tornado and thunderstorm warnings we went outside to watch the developing clouds. All of a sudden a wall of water came over the tree next to our house and were in the middle of heavy downpour. We raced inside and we still got wet. In between classes I went to work and found out from Marcus that he wants me to work in the afternoon next Friday to hand out meal cards to the Yugoslavian conference. I said I'd do it. My dad called me while I was at work and we talked about Ernie Knoll my classes and he just wanted to check up on me. I enjoyed my classes today even with Dr. Doukhan gone in my Jewish Life and Thought class. After my classes I went for a jog for a couple of miles. It was so hot and humid. I'm glad I'm running though. It's good for me. Right now I'm going to go see what my other half is doing.
