Things to ponder

There has been quite a bit going on that is just starting to come into light. At work, a lot of people have been getting hired... and people getting fired for dumb reasons. Just yesterday we lost one of our long time Courtesy Desk associates. No one is really sure exactly what happened, but its a curiosity to say the least. We think it was because she gave back $100 too much to a customer, but she would have had to had a coaching within the last year in order for that to call for termination. One of our other girls was saying that anything over $50 counts double... but I did the same thing and only got my first verbal. So who knows. I suppose only time will tell.

Chris is still looking for a job. He has been in contact with Farmers Insurance about a possible position but I have a funny feeling about it. I just pray that God keeps His hand on it and will open the doors He wants Chris to go through. We have also been quite lazy on Sundays and have been missing church, a habit we need to break. I always feel so much more lifted through the week when we have gotten up on sunday mornings and spent time with our church family. This weekend, it starts. No more options, or over sleeping. We will go... and go and go and go. *nodnod*

There has also been some talk about a bigger step. No, he hasn't asked me yet, he wants to ask dad first. But we have been talking about options. Both of us being close to our families, we can't decide on a place to have a wedding. If we do it in Ohio... it would only be my family that would most likely be able to attend. But if we do it in California, only his family would be present. So we think we have come to an alternative that includes the people that would absolutely kill me if I got married without them present... perhaps a court house and such. And then having receptions in both locations. Nothing is set in stone... but its been in conversation. He asked last night if I thought we should rush it. I've never been more sure about anything in my life, so in my opinion, nothing would be rushed, just done. But I suppose we will see what happens.

Bills have been hitting hard the last couple of months. It seems like there is something new to add around every corner, and I'm not sure how we are going to handle them. As long as Chris's taxes are deposited on the 15th, things will be paid, it will just be a matter of being able to eat. His best friend is in the process of loaning us a bit to help get through, but the bank is jacking him around so that hasn't happened yet. But I know God is a big God and has His hand on it and that His timing is always perfect. *deep breath* Please pray.

Updates and Enchiladas

Lots of stuff has gone on... but then again nothing of note, really. We did have an amazing time yesterday having Cookie and Maranda visit. They brought enchiladas and brownies. I told Cookie I need the recipe. I had never had enchiladas before but I apparently like them. They were warm and filled with red peppers and black olives and cheese and meat and sauce... Yummmm.

I'm officially down to 281.4. That makes 40 pounds total that I have lost since Feb. of 2010 when I moved home and started losing. I'm so ready to be out of the 280's tho. I know it's coming, and soon. !! :)

As you might have been able to tell, Chris's grandpa passed away on April 2. He took it hard but is holding up well. He was a great man and will be missed very much.

I... I don't know what else to add at the moment. Hmm... Oh well.

In Loving Memory
