Boss for the Week & a Monthly Update

Again, I haven't blogged in a while. Not that many are reading this but for those who do, I'm sorry. Lately I haven't felt up to writing about things that have been happening in my life, but maybe if I write some things, I'd feel better.

THE SUMMER IS COMING

A few weeks ago, We headed out to our cabin at the lake and got things cleaned up and water all hooked up. Marsha wanted to get out of her house so she came and helped out a lot by sweeping even though she was still recovering from surgery. I appreciate what Marsha does for me and my family. I'm anxious to get out to the lake and put the boats in and just hang out with friends. It's a place where I feel at peace. I can do things, cut lawns, build things, and it doesn't seem to feel like work. The type of stuff I enjoys doing.

THE CHURCH

Saturday was sadly the last service for The Connection. The Connection was a Saturday night service that was formed to reach people that may feel intimidated by a traditional church service. I've built friendships over the past couple of years and really don't want to lose them. It seems that feeling is mutual. I am very sad to see this service has ended but I understand that the friendships that I've met have not come to an end. Interesting enough I met Marsha at The Connection, built from a friendship and we felt connected, no pun intended. This was all possible cause of a common friend, Amanda.

Yesterday we had a bar-b-que for our Pastor who had to resign from the church due to some past issues that still exist in the church. Our Music Minister also resigned cause the reason why he was hired was cause of Steve. I'm tired of this church's problems. We've lost some good leaders in the past few years. Some people I've gotten to know real well have left the church for some reason, a sad sight.

THE JOB

People want to know how my new job is going. We'll this could take a while. Currently my boss is on holidays for the week, leaving me being the senior man. Seeing as I have only been employed for 7.5 months now, I don't really conceder myself the senior man. Wonder if I'll get a pay increase for the week?

I think I'm getting stressed by this job. Maybe its not only the job, (church, personal, etc...) but I should take things maybe slower. I find I have a fast paced life, Too fast. I need to learn to SLOW DOWN. Like simple things, I don't need to rush to the printer, just take your time braden, the document will still be there when you get there.

My longtime goal is I think still to do Carpentry. Maybe in a few years. I plan to buy a trailer this summer. Another idea was to expand the Garage but who knows if that will happen.

FRIENDS FROM THE NORTH

Dad's friends, Ralph and Lorin, came down for the weekend. Lorin is from Yellowknife, and Ralph Sheward Park. They have been friends since Elementary school. Good to see they still keep in contact.

Ralph took it upon himself to be my Muslim Uncle. His mission to make sure no physical contact was being made between Marsha and I. A fun guy.

A TIME OF HEALING

I think I need to take things easy and spend some more time thinking of where my life is going in the near future. I'm looking forward to going to Vancouver next week again. Second time in two months. This could be some time where I can just relax and think and discuss things with Marsha. I really appreciate her and her listening ear. Communication is the key.
