Well everyone I have a glorious announcement for all of you. Brittney and I are engaged to be married!  I know it is so exciting.  I am so undescribably happy.  You will not truly understand until you are engaged yourself.  I have never felt love like this from another human before.  It is so wonderful to say that I have found the woman that God has intended for me to spend the rest of my life with!  I love her so much!  I am the happiest man alive!

Well it has been forever since I last updated.  Sorry I become a bum like sometimes.  But everything in my life is going incredibly good.  I enjoy every day. I truly love my life and the people in it. (Especially Brittney!)

Well tomorrow I am going to see U2 in concert.  I am so excited that I want to vomit all over my computer, but I won't.  We even managed to get floor tickets.  So we will be remotely close to the greatest musical force on this planet.  Pray that I don't die because my face gets rocked off...

Brittney and I saw the Corpse Bride on Friday.  It was very enjoyable.  In my opinion, almost anything that Tim Burton does is pretty sweet, especially Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Is it just me or are there certain things that trigger your thoughts on life?  This movie served as one of those triggers.  It got me thinking about how we only have one life to live.  Once you die there is nothing more you can do on this earth.  You cannot help people anymore.  I know I have plans to do awesome things in the future, but what I am doing right now?  I have to get myself doing something great for God right now.  I need to stop hiding behind the excuse that I am going to be doing all this stuff in the future and neglecting the present.  I dont know what this will involve but hopefully God will give me something soon.

In other news, Hurricane Rita did not cause gas to be 5 dollars a gallon.  Thats pretty sweet.  I get to see Brittney tonight. Double Sweet! bye.

Lately it seems like I just keep going and going.  I have work and my classes and my band and my girlfriend and my family.  It is amazing I can keep it all balanced, and it really is balanced.  It is truly God because everything does always work out.

Well I worked my last day at the warehouse forever!  But it was the longest day in the world.  I worked from 6 to 5.  Which doesn't seem that long, but trust me it is.  But now it is all over.  I got a new job!  I am going to be doing wall framing for condos down in Monroe.  I am checking out the site tomorrow and then I start on monday.  I am really excited.  For one, it is a good trade to learn and it is also really good money.  One day I would seriously like to go to Thailand and be able to build houses for people that need them, so I know God has me here for a reason.  Nothing is done by mistake.

Brittney has been working like crazy lately but I know it is only for a time.  I know she still loves me more than Claire's.  She is great! Thats all.

This has been an interesting week.  I started my classes, got to spend time with my wonderful girlfriend, got to practice and do a show, and there is even the strong possibility of a getting a new job.  And this job would be good for everything in my life.  I mean everything.  I will tell you more once I get it.

If there is one thing God has been showing me lately is that we cannot live our lives to please men, we have to live them to please God. ( Gal. 1:10)  I have been noticing lately my imperfections and my tendencies to fail.  I have not been the kind of man I should have been lately.  And then I turn around and put all of my own trust in other people.  I do believe that God can use people in our lives, but the key is that with have to turn to God for our source of help and not other people.  Lately I have been crying out to God to take care of my problems instead of trying to handle them myself and screw them up.  And God does live true to His word.  He has really helped me with every situation in my life.

Lately I have also been enjoying talking to strangers and hearing crazy stories people will tell you.  Give it a try.  If you just sit and down and talk with someone, you would be surprised as to how much they will tell you about their life.  Maybe I am just turning into my Grandpa and one day I will talk to every person I encounter.  That will be the day... That will be the day...
