because my job requires very limited mental skills i have a lot of time to think. so much so that sometimes after work i am so tired of hearing my inner monolog all i want to do is veg out. lame i know. also, because i think so much, i always intend to write blogs about what i have seen or thought of until i get home and i forget to because i feel like i have already gone through the process of writing it down and analyzing it.

we met the pastor of our new church and got to talk to him and his wife (Jack and Debbie). it was so very cool. they are very down to earth people and i totally feel like we can relate with them and learn so much. i had a dream last night that they invited us over to their house to hang out and we just sat and talked for hours about everything and anything that entered our brains. it was a nice dream.

tonight we go to the college/young adult ministry. Debbie introduced us to Chris the pastor of that group and he was around our age, maybe a few years older than Aaron. tonight will be their Christmas Concert type deal yay!

any who i need to get ready for work seeing as how i have to leave in like a 1/2 hr and i'm still in the state i was when i rolled out of bed. and i'm not talking about California.

the tree!!

mom and dad came down and gave us their old tree and bought us decorations and everything :) they are awesome. it was nice spending time with them (even though dad fell asleep so mom and i went in the other room to watch a movie)
the love bug and i decorated it the next day after work and of course we added a few interesting touches of our own. nuff chit chat here's the pics.

brr it's cold in here, there must be some ice cubes in my....

every morning when my alarm goes off at 7 i get out of bed and go stand next the the lil window in our bathroom and open it just a teensy bit and put my face up to the screen, then i take a deep breath and blow it all out waiting to see if i can see my breath. i have seen it for the past week. and every morning it makes me very happy to see the smelly morning breath puff floating away.

meatballs for breakfast

i was downloading some pictures from the camera and i found these from when jo and i decided to make meatballs enjoy the greatness.

Glaize Chow House

a sampling of some of the amazing stuff we have been making.
on sunday the pastor was talking about how they would eat in that time and he briefly mentioned that they used bread as their utensil and even a napkin at times. Of course that was a point that stuck out to Aaron and I. So I made us a dinner where we sat on the floor and ate off a tray that had our meats and veggies on it. we used fresh baked flat bread that i made for the meal. it was a lot of fun. our neighbors walked by a few times i'm pretty sure they thought we were nuts.







i also have been wanting some minestrone soup. so i used some of the left over meat and veggies and added them to the amazing soup i made from scratch. it was delish.





i wish i had more pictures of the different foods we have been making, but most of the time we end up eatting it before i can even remember to grab the camera :)

things i have learned since working at the KB Farm

1} people say that the key to being able to stand on your feet for so long is your shoes. but i would counter that while the shoes are very important they are nothing without a nice pair of high impact socks and shoe inserts. also epsom salt and a foot bath will do wonders.


2} you can never show up too early for work, but too late is very easy to achieve


3} one of the older gentle men i work with informed me that all women are like apples, there may be different types and colors, but in the end they are still just an apple. so when men go around trying and taking a bites out of different apples in the end he will always end up with an apple. men should be happy with the apple they have.


4} this man also taught me that your teeth are the most important part of you to take care of because if they are sick, you are sick.

5} most people who work at amusement parks will lie to your face when you ask them how to get some where if they don't know. you're better off looking at the map

what the heck is going on with that Donna girl we once knew?

i know it's been a while which i think is how i start most of these blog entries.

so we moved up here and we are almost settled only a few (million) boxes left but we are slowly working through them. it's hard once you unearth the essentials to keep going through the stuff you would be ok with leaving in a box for the next few hundred years if it meant not pushing their huge girth around for the 70th time so you could squeeze by. that is until you need something from one of them and you have to shift them around like a rubiks cube. but whatever it's fun having your own apt and choosing where to put stuff and walking around nude if you want to (as long as the blinds are closed lol)

work sucks but it is starting to look up. as you guys know i hate halloween and nobody does it better than knotts, but at least i'm getting paid :/

all this is to say that i'm trying to keep busy so i don't have to think about how much i miss all of you, because honestly i miss you guys like a porcupine misses hugs. i want to know what's going on with you guys, i miss your faces and i miss our talks.

more later time for bed

brr out
