signs of spring

My beautiful wife pointed out to me the other day a sad point that spring is here and summer is coming. She noticed some young girls walking down the street, and noticed that they forgot to put pants or a skirt on, and only had a long t-shirt on. Definitely a sign that spring is here.

NO! Bacon Bits are in fact, NOT supposed to be soy. They are supposed to be BACON! Just because the grocery stores carry products that substitute real food with processed almost food, doesn't mean that when you go to a restaurant and it says "bacon bits" in the menu that you will be getting a soy product. It means you will be getting BACON. And if you are a vegetarian, and have an issue with mean, maybe YOU SHOULD ASK WHICH ONE WE USE FIRST!

And at the very least, if you have made an error by not realizing the above, DO NOT freak out on us like we have done something wrong by calling our bacon product bacon!

rapid fire updates

-One day, Eleanor will look back at today and laugh. One day, but probably not today. What will she laugh at you say? Well, upon getting her toothbrush ready in the bathroom this morning, she thought it would be lovely to sit upon the toilet to do the work-all the while thinking the lid was down, providing an easy seating solution. Turns out, the lid was up. As was the seat. Which left only the bowl of water to catch her bottom. Like I said, one day she will laugh at this, but not today.

-Paramedic academy starts May 10th. It will take a lot of effort and energy on my part to get school and work done, and a lot of help from He who guides me.

-I find that every year when our wedding anniversary comes around I end up bragging to everyone that I meet how awesome my wife is, and how lucky I am to have ended up marrying her at the fresh young age of 21. I also reflect back on how young and naive we really were, and marvel at how God has worked in our lives to lead us to where we are today.

-We are heading south in two weeks for a homeschooling conference. I am not really sure what to expect from it, but I am quite excited to see what God will teach us, and to see our friends the Messengers that are going to be there too.

ok, no video from the restaurant, I had too many challenges trying to post it, and then I gave up.

Now, I'm super busy. I know, know, I say it all the time. But now I have good reason to. Out of the blue, the JIBC called me and informed me that there is a class that starts in May for the paramedic program. If I want it, I'm in. If I don't, I have to re-apply, which would take much time, effort, money and time.

So, after a brief time to reflect, we decided to jump on this opportunity. Not sure how I will fit everything in, or how it will look, but I am trusting that God has put this opportunity in front of me and will provide what I need to get it done.
