Sunday
Today Bre and I went to church it was a very nice service we started Joshua today and the sermon was about not living in fear. Bre and I signed up to help at the Lane County fair at the church booth on Friday and then when we finish we can go look around the fair for free woohoo.
After Church Bre and I went to Gateway to kill some time. G-ma and G-pa had to go out with the church board and have lunch with some potential youth pastors. While there we stopped at Target to get Amy's baby gift for her shower and seeing how we were hungry we picked up some cheap food at Target. As we were eating someone tried to leave Target and go into the rest of the mall when behold it was like she ran into a brick wall. The poor soul backed up and tried again with the same results. So she abandoned the cart and just left. So their signs...
are telling the truth and we did not have to go and try stealing one to find out lol. Later someone was able to use the cart it was a little rough at first but the wheels unlocked after about 20 feet.

UMM
So I wrote a very nice blog talking about the last couple of days and then blogger crashed or something and the post was lost.
Anyways Bre and I have been hanging out and working. We went to G-ma's and G-pa's and played cards yesterday. I went back this morning to see Heather and Nate off since I was unable to see them yesterday. I had lunch with G-ma and G-pa. I donated Plasma yesterday. I am still enjoying work. Life is basically moving. Nothing really exciting but anyway there it is. Oh we have also gone biking a couple of times.

Sunday
This Sunday they combined serves and had a 2 hour service instead. It was kind of odd. We had a 1/2 hour of worship and then a 1/2 hour or so of fellowship. Then we went back into the sanctuary and had Communion and a sermon...
After church there was a picnic out at some lake. Bre and I went home and grabbed are bikes and a few other items and then headed out there. It took us a while to find it since we were looking for a beach that was named after the lake. How were we to know that the name of the place was Bay Beach everyone kept saying we were going to Medano Lake. Anyway after turning around for the second time we came around a turn and there was a car in are lane coming towards us. I slammed on my breaks and the other car finished it's stupid maneuver of passing three cars on windy roads. Needless to say Bre and I just had to praise the Lord for His protection. It scared the ba gee ber out of us.
We then ate with G-ma and G-pa and rode are bikes and talked a little bit to different people. We came home I used the rest of the I-tones gift card Jamin gave me at Christmas and put the Dragon and the Raven by G A Henty on my I-pod and I went to work.

After work I grabbed Faith like Potatoes from the Red Box at Wal Mart and some Ice Cream and then went home and we watched the movie which was actually really good. It is a Christian movie and I was really shocked to find it in the Redbox when most of the movies were really bad.
Bre and I had Ice Cream after the movie and then we both automatically put water in are cups and left them in the sink. Now we never leave dishes in are sink but this just seemed like the thing to do. Habits die hard LOL.
I also spoke to the gas attendant people as they tried to fill up my car and they told me that Rhode Island used to have gas attendants to but they have now switched. This explained a lot to me since I used to speak to people from RI about the gas reward program and I never could understand why they were always so confused about how to swipe there reward card and pump there gas.

Saturday
Bre and I after being wakened by are crazy wood cutting neighbors went and dropped off the Honda to get worked on and then went home. After going and picking up the Honda we headed over to Amy's and Tony's to hang out and have dinner. We had a good time hanging out and there dog is very big. It looks a lot like Bee only three times larger in all ways...
After we finish there we went to the U of O campus and looked around there was a really cool OLD cemetery that we enjoyed but then are bladders started to act up and we raced home...After taking care of our crisis we walked around the EBC campus. We sat up at the cross and talked it became quite dark while we were there. When we came down there were some people hanging out right below goofing off they did not know we were up there and they were embarrassed it was really funny.
Bre and I watched a couple of really old movies yesterday and the first one the sound was messed up really bad like in dancing in the rain...
When we made it back to EBC to take care of our bladder issue we found out that are wood cutting friends were preparing for a outdoor concert and so we have listened to them all night.
We have had a good week not really eventful. We are going to hang out with G-ma and G-pa tomorrow.

Are you socially developed?
SOME OF THIS YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO LET ARIELLE ON DOWN READ
I have been giving some different conversation and behaviors that I have watched some thought lately and decided to share a bit of my thoughts.
A few years back I was speaking to a principal at a High school as we were preparing for a Backdraft assembly. He started asking everyone what high school they had graduated from and when he came to me and I told him that I had been home schooled he looked at me and with all earnestness asked "are you socially developed?" I after quickly getting over the shock at being asked that question told him that yes I was socially developed. The rest of the crew also told him that I was socially developed and we went on with life. Later when we came back for the assembly I was dressed as an Emo and he asked P. Josh what was wrong with me (he did not recognize me).
A few other conversations I have had went along the lines of "O you were home schooled, that's okay I can corrupt you." I have also been mistaken for being a lesbian on two different occasions that I know of. The first being with a representative from Big Brothers Big Sisters I did not know what she meant by the terms she was using having no need to know them before. In the end with that one I just blurted out "I like guys" as I also turned many shades of red. And later at West when I would give a friend some chocolate that I new she liked and of which JoAnn and I had a ton but neither of us liked. Well everyone on that shift the 12 - 8:30 shift decided that I was a lesbian. I never was able to completely put an end to that rumor with those people.
People also have shown a keen disbelief in the fact that I have chosen NOT to drink alcohol. I had to constantly watch my drinks around some people as they were always plotting what to give me...There was also other than legal types of smokes being offered.
I have also been invited to go to many bars and strip joints and been told by young ladies whose "boy toys" (the way she referred to her boyfriend that she lived with) would go to them that she had went and there was nothing really wrong (she then went into more detail). This would frustrate me on many levels first the couple in question were both under age which made it legally wrong. Second since when did it become okay to go...well I'm not going to go into it.
I have also watched multiple people who could not find there worth if they did not have a guy. I watched as they would jump from man to man trying to find meaning and yet if I said anything I was being judgemental and mean.
So as I have been thinking back over all of this and the question "are you socially developed?" I can't but wonder if the correct answer is NO. In a society where drugs, alcohol, and sex defines who a person is I am not socially developed (praise the LORD) and I never plan on being socially developed. What I am trying to say is, when did our society become so corrupted and why is it so widely accepted. How is it that people raised in godly homes can bow down to this type of living and think that it is perfectly acceptable. What has happened to our nation founded on Godly principals? Since when does kindness mean "other" things? And why in a society that can except Satan worship and so many things that are contrary to mans very nature. Is it unacceptable to try and answer the pain with the Lord.
Society seems so determined to corrupt innocence so that there behavior is not seen for what it is.
One of the things that I was thinking is that people stopped caring. In the midst of everything else that was going on lets just say with WW2 and such that who cares if a few kids get into drugs... Or maybe it has to do with Hollywood's rise to fame the more important they become the more moralities decline. We have now received political freedom for women, African Americans and Native Americans but at the same time taken away Christians freedom. What will it take to stop the decay and turn America back around?
I have more thoughts but I have to go to work so I wanted to end with this verse.
2 Chronicles 7:14"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Catch-up
SO Mr. B is truly amazing. He has my computer not only connecting to the Internet but it is running much quicker as well...
Bre and I went to Spokane over the weekend which was fun and also very helpful. I now have all my money and belongings in not only the same state but the same city WOOT.
I was really encouraged on Sunday at work when I was speaking to a lady that had stayed work to finish up and she commented that as soon as she saw me she thought I was a christian. This was encouraging because you hear people say I can tell by looking at "blank" that they are saved but I always wondered if anyone could tell by looking at me. It was also nice because she is a christian. Which means that most the people I am running into at this job are Christians. Which is a huge change from West where Curtis and I were the only two.
I received another VIM (very important message) traditionally these are usually complaints, but I have received quite the stack of them. The one I just received said in all caps that there was no complaints which Bob said was really good for the janitor business.
Esther a friend from Masters just asked Bre and I to be her babies God parents... we are praying about this great honor.
Donna the secretary is getting laid off be praying for her and her husband... Bre and I had her over for lunch today and it was really good.
Dad - I replaced the battery and changed the oil so in case you were still worried don't be.
Jared - Your haircut sounds pretty amazing when you were ten was it the same place that butchered my hair?
I miss and love you all very much and I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying Japan.

I'm in Spokane
So I had been debating back and forth rather or not I should come to Spokane because I would not be able to stay for the MC graduation because of work. Well I decided Thursday morning that I should come so that I could close out my bank accounts and pick up my stuff. I forgot to let JoAnn know so I called her from the Tri city's (about and hour and a half from Spokane) and told her that I was coming. JoAnn is amazing and she was just fine with it. JoAnn and I talked and got caught up on each others lives and then had dinner and watched some Hallmark shows.
Today Bre, JoAnn and I went out for a early lunch the first place we tried to go has now become a cremation place and seeing how that just was not appetizing we moved on the 2nd place was closed until 3pm. So we then fell back to the Noodle Express it is hard to go wrong with that place.
Bre and I then headed over to the church to see the Master's because they had just got back to town from Seattle. I had told them on Monday that I would not be able to attend graduation so they were surprised when I showed up.
They went to do there thing and meet back at the church in a couple of hours. Bre and I picked up are mail and headed to the mall to run some errands. Mom you know the one place we went with G-ma to buy those special items I had a coupon for there so I was able to save about $18.50 which was 50% so I thought it was a nice deal.
We are now back at the church and the Master's are working on Human Video stuff while I write this...

Umm
So I talked Bre into going and seeing the Knowing with me last night after I finished work she also invited Mikael. It was a very interesting movie that twisted Christianity and intermixed it with other religions. At one point Nicholas Caige who was playing the part of a college professor went into a lecture on Determinism verses reaction ism. The premise of the movie was that there was this child who fifty years ago received all these numbers from well who or what did they come from? but Nicholas kid received the list of numbers and they correspond to every major disaster in history and tell the exact number of deaths. The point being that the world is about to end...well in the begining the child who received the numbers looked demon possed and in one scene was seen scratching with her finger nails numbers into the door when she was found she begged "please make it stop." Later in the movie you find the same child now grown up and dead from some type of OD. But in her house there was a bible that she apparently read a lot and a picture from Ezekiel 1. Now there were strange "beings" that kept showing up and terrorising the children. They were called the whispers and in the end they turn out to be some angelic type beings that were sent to save certain children.
There was many problems with this movie but one of the things that really struck me was that they were trying to tie it into Christianity. Nichol's father was a pastor and it came up more than once. But they made every interaction with the "heavenly" seem demonic. The children who would stare lifelessly and start scratching into whatever surface they could reach. The "angels" who walked around in trench coats and hid in shadows and looked more like a witch...
I'm out of time more thoughts later.

Weekend and a glance
The Weekend has been busy but good
I hung out with the family on Saturday we went to Chuck E Cheese and I had a blast with the kids. Probably my favorite thing was when Zander came running up to Jared and said "come play the dinosaur racing game with me." He then promptly grabbed Jared's hand and dragged him off. Now when he said a dinosaur game I thought that he meant a Jurassic park type game. SO you can image my amusement when we arrive at the game and it is a little animated game that Jared had to get on his knees to play the game...
At another point Jared and I went to play the Jurassic Park one and when it started the seat started to move... Now I was just like oh that's different but kind of fun but Jared kept getting increasingly annoyed until half way through the game he relieved that it was suppose to be moving and no one was kicking the seat LOL.
I went up to Seattle with the family and helped them get stuff done.
In order to be able to leave and go to Seattle I needed to clean the office building Sunday Morning instead of Sunday night. Now this should not have been a problem because the building was vacant on Sunday so I spoke to my boss and he said okay but to watch the alarm. Now seeing how the alarm is possessed and turns on randomly whenever it wants all the time this would not be a problem. SO I showed up and started working. I finished everything but the floors and came out of the back bathrooms when to my utter surprise there was a bunch of people there. I looked at them and they looked at me both of us not quite sure what the other was doing. Apparently the office is closed to the public on Sunday but people still work on Sunday.
On Monday I ran the final passport type errands with the family and faithfully stood guard over the van and luggage. I then drove home and put on my uniform and went to work. I was able to listen to the entire G.A Henty Book In The Reign Of Terror. It was a very good book one of the better of Henty's I would think.
The weather is extremely hot...
I will post pictures later.

More Fun
So Mom and I went and ran some errands yesterday. We went to the bank and then to JC Pennies and found some nice clothes for Mom. (Dad she looks great and we kept her position in mind i.e. turned down the more Eugene type clothes) After that we went to Panda Express and mom tried there food. I love Panda Express. We then tried three different salons and it was not until the 3rd one in Springfield that we were able to find one that does eyebrows!!! After this we went to another bank and then to G-ma's and G-pa's. Michail and I watched a T.V show and then the rest of the family arrived. I hung out there a little longer and then went to work.
At work it is suppose to take 3 - 3:1/2 hours to clean I have been going over on the time but I worked really hard and fast yesterday. I was starting the damp mopping which is the last thing and meant I would only have about another 10 - 15 minutes of work. I had only been working for 2hr 55 min I was so excited. Then Bob my boss walked in the door 44 minutes and multiple Prophecies later he left AWWW. It took me 4 hours again.

Tuesday
So yesterday I found out which building I'm cleaning and when and how many hours. I also found out who my team lead would be. I'm cleaning a Hospice type office building and there are signs everywhere that are a little bit "different." Such as there is this bookcase in the hall that has all these cute pictures of kids and other pictures of adults but if you look closer you find out that they are obituaries. I can start anytime between 6PM - 7:30PM and it is Sun - Thur it is suppose to take about 3 - 31/2 to clean the place. This is a lot less hours than I wanted so be praying the place decided they want everything cleaned every night instead of half one night and the other half the next night. The place is only about a ten minute drive from home which is a lot nicer than the 20+ minute drive it takes to get to there main office. My boss is Bob M. he used to work with Dad and he is a christian. This is really a blessing and a nice change from the lesbian boss.
My new camera arrived and so I can start putting pictures on WOOT.

1st day
On Sunday we went to church and then a potluck at G-ma's and G-pa's. There was a lot of people there and it was fun. I also remembered why I like working in the kitchen at such functions you can hide and everyone things that you are just a true "dear".
Bre and I hung up picture in the apartment I think we beat the boys and they had about a month head start WOOT. It looks really good.
On Monday a friend from masters that now lives in Eugene came out and visited we had a really good time.
I then got ready for work and went to my safety class. It was rather funny. I went from the call center where even if there was truly an emergency you could not get ahold of anyone to being told that if there is the slightest thing different or anything no matter how small is wrong you are suppose to call your boss. I think I can enjoy this.
After I got off work I meant the other siblings and Mikael at Gateway theater and watched Monsters vs Aliens. We had a good time the movie started at 9:15 and I showed up at 9:15.

Oh Quick Catch Up
I went into Brothers Cleaning on Friday and received my "uniform" which is a Bright Blue T-shirt and the information that you can not wear a bathing suite to work (shoot). We also went over all of the policies and such. Hey Dad they now have gone green and you have to start work by 7:30 PM. Myself and 2 others were the first people they had hired in about a year. They are going to try and get us three new hires up to full time as quickly as they can.
The DMV would not provide a temporary license aparently the call center lady (who I will not name) did not know what she was talking about. But the person I spoke to at the DMV said that my driving record did show that I had a active drivers license and that the police are really nice and understanding. I believe that was her way of saying just go ahead and drive as you wait for the bill to arrive.
Stacia and I then ran some errand with mom and came home.
Us offspring then finished the Revenge of the Drunken Duck. it is a lot better now but still kinda of iffy in spots. But that is okay because there is a lot of above branches and if anything was to start to give there would be a lot to grab on to :)
We went out to Aunt R house on Saturday and had a good time she had really developed the place it look really nice.
We then dropped off some plastic chairs at G-Ma's and grabbed a few items from the store and came home. Later we had a really great dinner which we ate on the floor because we had taken all the chairs to G-ma. I relaxed for the rest of the evening.
Anyway I need to go do my hair to go to church or I might be left behind.

07-16-09
Yesterday was a very good day. Mom and I went out to pick up some job applications and we stopped and did some shopping as well. We were able to find some clothes for mom. I memorized the Wal-Mart greeting "Thank you for calling W 11th Wal-Mart home of unbeatable prices how may I help you." But I resisted the urge to do the ladies job when she was not there.
I received a call from Brother's Cleaning: WOOT
We went to the lake and had a great time it was really enjoyable. The water was not deep enough to drown in unless something went really wrong so that was nice to illuminate that concern. We did some chicken fights and Jared (the other person on the bottom) decided to try and drown me. So I decided that if he was going to use his height against me that I could use my ability to kick...The people on top were a little surprised when there death lock was broken by Jared...
We then came home and ate a delicious meal. Myself and Arielle down then did clean up and went and were hanging out in the basement. In the meantime Mom, Bre, and Jared went to Wal-Mart. While we were cleaning and relaxing in the cool basement we started receiving phone calls from Bre saying that she HAD a INTERVIEW at Panda. The last of her calls sent us flying from the cool and amazing basement into the blazing OR heat :grin:. We did what she needed and then watched as the whirlwind arrived.
After she left us kids watched Tim Hawkins and then we all headed to bed it was a very fulfilling and complete day.
Oh Bre said the interview went really well and she thinks that she will get the job. Be praying.
The spellcheck is not working so forgive the spelling.

WOOT
I HAVE A JOB AT Brother's Cleaning!!!! It is part time for now but I am also waiting to hear back from PaPa Murphy's about there 5-10 hours. The Lord is Amazing
Oh what a mi call it
Yesterday was a pretty laid back day. As I mentioned I did not go out job hunting yesterday because I had already pestered the people to the point of annoyance. So instead I got up and went to work out. Now I have tried to make it over there at the same time Jared is a couple times and it has never worked out even when we communicated before hand. But yesterday I woke up and decided to go upon exiting the apartment I saw Jared just exiting his house. (lol)
Mom and I then messed with the Internet stuff and I worked more on the checker board. I managed to finish the checker board and it only looks somewhat abstract. Jared said "wow I did not expect it to look that good." He must not have a very high expectancy of my work (hump).
I played a VERY quick round of pictornary with the little ones and yes Josiah the butt did come up.
We then tried are hand at Hangman and let me tell you it was an EXCITING time. Some of the spelling that we came up with was very unique.
We then decided that to calm down from are rousing game of Hangman that we should build a tree fort. Now as Jared would say "it was Rodeo." Arielle and I climbed up in the tree and Jared handed stuff up as Nolan, Zander, and G-ma worked on getting a few steps putt together for the more vertically challenged. We now need some rope to tie it all down. I think this latest creation rivals the drunken duck in soundness (lol).
We then ate dinner and went on a walk. All in All it was a lot more rewarding than the job hunt has been.
Today I am probably going to try picking up some more applications and start the process over in a new section of town. Which is a bit frustrating without a drivers license. I think that DMV's are more frustrating than call centers ARRGGG

Weird Lane County Sighting
Bre had the weird sighting of the day.
As she was driving home she saw this lady walking down the street in a WEDDING dress. Now the lady was carrying her shoes and limping... So of course Bre would assume something was wrong...But when she got closer she discovered that the woman was just find and she was just going for a stroll in a wedding dress. The woman also had very bazaar make up on.
Bre commented that with all these people around she is constantly getting ready to stop and help just to find that they are just weir Lane county people.

Life in Lane County
Bre and I have been spending the last week filling out job applications and basically making the rounds.
I have put in applications at:
Lowe's
Fred Meyers
Wal Mart
Albertson's
Carls Jr
Papa Murphy's
Little Caesars
KFC
Taco Bell
Subway
Panda Express
Pet Time
Knife and Edge
Brothers Cleaning
I have had an interview with Brothers and with Papa Murphy's I have made sure that I was always dressed really nice when I dropped off applications and I have stopped back by the locations and checked on progress I have also sent thank you note to people after I had an interview. I have my Resume (on nice paper) and a letter of recommendation that I have also been giving out. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? The unemployment rate in this county is at 15%.
I started working on Bre's and I's checker top table and I decided that making perfect squires are even harder than perfect circles(lol)
I am going to be heading out to have fun with mom and the little's plus Jared(yes Jared you are so special) later. I made the rounds (jobs) yesterday and I don't want to overwhelm anyone with my awesomeness(grin)
I have also come to relived that this town is really "messed up" (just for you cy) and that apparently the people have decided to cut there expenses by not purchasing clothes! For that matter I think they are not buying soap or shampoo either.

Life
Hey Everyone or no one HMMM.... Well even if nobody is seeing this I fill like writing it. I have a job now I'm working at West and no I dont me Qwest. West is a telacommunication center in Spokane if you shop at Albertsons, Jewel, ACME, or Shaw's and you were to call the 1 -877 number on the bottom of your receipt you would get us and if you were lucky you would get me (lol). This has turned out to be quite the full time job I work about 50-55 hours a week. I really do enjoy this job I work 5 AM - 1:30 PM. But I have been thinking about switching to the graveyard. I have applied at EBC and I think I've been excepted we will see. I will be going for a bachelors in Intercoultor studies. So my life is made up of work, INSTE, and scholarship hunting.

The last little bit has been crazy busy. We just finished the Easter Egg Scramble fort the Church it was a lot of fun and came off pretty good. Well we didn’t have to run to the hospital (harvest party) and no stitches’ which was actually a concern, let me explain we have a TON of eggs that were given to us by a church and every year we match and count out a certain amount ( this year 5000) and then because they have been sitting in storage with mice we have to wash them with bleach. Well the eggs have a tendency to shatter when you go to wash them which can leave some pretty deep cuts. Then also apparently bleach is a acid and we managed to over do the bleach in my sink so that I got chemical burns all over my hands (there better now and I don’t think they will scar Praise the Lord) and the other person ended up sick from the fumes. We were much more moderate from then on out (this is my third year to do this and we had never had any problem). But other than that this can be a very fun time of making eggasperating jokes and the like.
Bre and I are getting ready to go to Anaheim Ca to work a Microsoft show, and then do pastors conference it will be a long trip but I’m sure it will be loads of fun aswell…
For Me personally I have decided to start looking into doing mission work in Israel and see what the Lord opens up.
