It's almost sad that I can not post anything up here for over a month and no one has like sent out a search party or anything. O well. I guess goes to show that I just don't keep up my xanga that much, so that's on me. Anywho, I'm updating now.

I guess not much has happened since my last post. I got some stuff for Christmas. I went to a party or two with the SHINE teens. Ummm..... one of the funniest things that's happened to me since last post is;

last Sunday. I decided to drive my car to church so I could stay after and hang out/play with everyone on the football field. So It's prolly around 4 pm ish, and almost everyone else is gone. I go out to start up my car and nothing happens. No sputtering or anything. So i do the first thing I think of. I start walking back to the church to see if anyone's there. Luckily a fellow Josh was still there, so he drove his Jeep up next to my little car and I hooked it up to my car and we tried to give it a jump. No dice. Well we then proceed to see what else it could be and we finally determine one of the fuses is blown (of course it's the one that says main), so we try to take it out. well after trying to yank it out with a pair of pliers and breaking it, we decide to stop and just try and find the fuse at a gas station first. Already long story, made shorter; turns out the fuse was bolted in. Only took 3 trips back and forth to Autozone to get everything we needed.

Oh and then I found out my radio fuse had blown, but that was alot more easily fixed with a trip to Wal-Mart a couple of days later.

Well there ya go.

I think it's time for me to post again. It's finally been long enough . Alright so not too much has happened in the past week or two. Jessi has finally finished soccer. She had her last game and award ceremony yesterday. I made if for the game, but only Jess and mom went to the awards ceremony. O well. Me and dad finished the swing set that we got a few days ago. We finished it yesterday. It was on uneven ground, but we dug some holes and now it's scary how level it is . It still should probably be cemented in, but we'll get to that in the next couple of days. I'll try and post a pic of it. It's pretty cool for a $200 swing set. We bought it from someone (dunno who), but I'd say if you bought one like that new it'd be well over twice as much, so we made a good deal.

Also on Friday Brittany and I (I was actually gramatically correct) went to the SHINE Hoe Down. It was loads of fun. We did like 20 different dances and we played a couple of games, one of them involving me dressed up as a scarecrow, and it was really fun. Yeah.

Aside from all that i've been dowing a whole bunch of nothing really. Except watching/playing with the kids. They can wear you down quick without losing any energy themselves. It's scary. They wear us all down so much that today is the second Sunday that we've missed church since we got 'em. It's just between getting them ready, the long drive there, and then listening to them cry and whine the whole time (instead of being able to hear the sermon) it's almost becoming not worth it to some among the family (no names will be mentioned), but i mean come on.

Alright so time to end a long post on a happy note.
