First of all, let me clarify. This is not actually a tribute to Cindy. She simply put up her little poem, because she was sad not many people comment or blog. So, I decided that I would blog. For the first time in what seems forever, I actually have a lot to say.
Thanks to everyone who commented on colors for my condo. I did paint it finally. It is a beautiful tan color. The pictures do not do it justice (scroll down). I even bought some new decorations to put up. Now I just need to paint my bedroom and the bathroom. I finally decided on a color for the bedroom. It's going to be a light blue. I want to eventually get new curtains that will lighten the room up a bit. Maybe that will make me get out of bed a little earlier. Ben has been a bad influence on me in that department. I sleep a lot later now than I ever have.
Anyway, on to the new news. God has finally started opening up doors, the right ones too in our life. We stepped down with helping to start a new church this summer. Things were not lining up. As soon as we did that, we found a great new church that I am proud to call home. We're meeting new people all the time! Ben and I both help lead the junior high group that meets every Wednesday nights. Ben also began a new job! He's working for Teen Challenge (no it isn't something just for teenagers). I'll have to look into how the program got its name. Anyway, it is a faith based rehabilitation program for life's addictions (drugs, alcohol, etc.)It is open to people of any age. Not only do they help people get rid of their addictions, they help them get back on their feet. They offer job coaching, schooling, etc. Teen Challenge recently opened a re-sale shop which Ben is now the head guy for! All the store's profits go towards supporting the program. It is also a place for students enrolled in the program to get clothes. There are many people who arrive with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
So far, Ben loves his new job. I will even have the opportunity to work side by side with my hubby. I have to do community service hours for school. Luckily, I can do it with Teen Challenge! Speaking of, yes, I am still in school. I graduate next May. I'm very anxious for that date. Until then, I still work part-time at Le Club, the fitness club. I love it their. Always new and interesting people to meet. Tonight, I just met a couple who just moved to Milwaukee from ITALY! How EXCITING! They had WONDERFUL accents and were so cute together! Sometimes I cannot believe how diverse that place is! We have people from everywhere! Russia, Italy, India, China, everywhere!
Well, I guess for now I will stop! That is the thing with blogs, you can't write tooo much because then people get bored of reading. See, I'm not good at blogs. I'll just write and write when I finally sit down to do it!
Love you all!
