What we have been up to

So far the summer is just flying by. We have been busy working and I have been busy looking for a job since I was laid off at the school. After many dead end interviews something has finally opened up for me. I usually try to keep my work and the locations of my job out of my blog for privacy reason but I did land a job with a company called Childhelp. I will be working at one of the branches and not their corporate office. If you want any other information about the specifics of the job call me or e-mail me I will be glad to tell you. Or feel free to look at their website. It is just a part time job for now so I will be hanging onto my "other" job for a while since I am working close to 40-hours a week.

No big vacation plans for us as we plan to move forward with our plans to buy a home by the end of the year.

Update on below blog

This story just went from beyond belief to horrific. Please pray for this family and hold them close in your heart.

Missing boy found slain; uncle sought

Police search for man, boy following murder

Dear friends:

I know the kid referred to in this article. He was in one of my youth programs I worked in about 6-years back. His grandmother had custody of him and his sister. Though I have not kept in touch with them over the years if I ran into them here or there we would definitely chat. I ask that you please pray for this kid and his family.

Ice Skating

I am not exactally sure what I was thinking when some of my friends decided to go ice skating. Me in my fearless mind thought sure! I can ice-skate. I went about 15 years ago and I was pretty good. Well needless to say when I first got out there I thought, "what in the world was I thinking, I am 41-years old I am going to break a bone". However, within 15-minutes of thinking I was afraid I was off like a bolt of lightening. Like I had been skating on ice my whole life.

2-DiamondBack Games in 2-days

Well not for me but for John, two games in two days would have been to much (Yes, I am old) so he invited a friend.

Friday 5/30 we went to the 6:40 p.m. game courtesy of some free tickets from a friend and then again on Saturday. Saturday's game was really luck. John entered a Miller Lite Sweepstakes online from a 12 pack he bought and entered in a code from the box online, and about a week later he found out he scored 2- prime sets at the game.

Here is the details and a picture of the seating area:


The Miller Lite Diamond Club is an upscale club located in right field on the main concourse level at Chase Field. With no reserved seats, plenty of lounge and bar seating is available on a first-come basis to watch a D-backs game from one of the best views in the ballpark. A large amount of standing room is also available in the 270-person capacity club to mingle with friends or business associates. The Miller Lite Diamond Club will remain open for a limited time after all home games and will feature live entertainment at select games.

The Miller Lite Diamond Club features a pool table, 11 plasma televisions, a dedicated sound system to play current hits, a chef preparing food, and a full-service bar and cocktail staff. D-backs fans also have a front-row seat to watch FSN Arizona's "Miller Lite Diamondbacks Live" pre-game show, hosted by Todd Walsh, and the "Qwest Diamondbacks Live" post-game show, hosted by Brad Steinke, televised live from the Miller Lite Diamond Club before and after most home games.

Below is a link to a bittersweet but heart-warming story for one very lucky dog.

Somewhere in Iraq today, a little yellow dog named Laia is starting the treacherous journey of a lifetime to the U.S., but the soldier who rescued her won't be part of her homecoming.
