Digesting

Howdy Everyone!

More time has passed and not much new is happening. Life is going well. Dess keep finding ourselves talking about how 5 weeks isn't long but it is. That's how long we have until we go on vacation. Or at least one day less than that now. But still, it's about that long. So we try to tell ourselves that it will be soon, but if we think that 5 weeks will pass quickly then it makes us nervous that our vacation will pass to quick. It's sort of a catch 22. Instead we focus on getting there and not worrying about how fast it will pass.

Well, i feel like work has been going well. We had a work group come in this Saturday morning and it helped get a lot done. There were like 20ish people working for 4 hours, so they accomplished a lot. We working on getting more warehouse space available too. We've been rummaging around in the brick warehouse trying to get more room in there so we can put pallet racks up. On Friday we were close to putting them up when i found out that they want to asphalt the floor in there first. We are back to a stand still until we figure out what will be done to the floor in the warehouse. Right now the floor is pretty much loose dirt and shells. It's a mess and forklifts just can't move around in there. Oh well, that's work and who really cares about that.

Today is another duty section day for Dess and i. We're working the ship this weekend so everyone else can get the time off. Then we're planning on going to Galveston next weekend with the youth from our church. It'll be interesting because we've never really interacted with them before. I hope that it goes well. Dess is making a huge pot of gumbo today. She got a recipe off of The Food Network website. It's one of Emeril's recipes. She's never made this before, but i'll let you know if it's good and then you can start collecting all the bacon grease you can until the next time we're in your area. Then Dess can mix you up a big ol' pot and you'll be loving it too.

Besides that we're in cruise control right now. We're just trying to get by from day to day until we can go home. The ship in Israel is just about unloaded and they should be returning soon. Dess has mixed emotions about their return. She partially wants to be here for their return, but at the same time she doesn't. It'll be hectic and crazy. I am not excited about the prospect, but i know that we'll get by either way. We are pretty big kids, if you know what i mean.

I'm going to have at least one of my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow. I don't think about it much, so i'm not too sure how i feel about it. I guess it's starting to make my stomach queasy just thinking about it now. The dentist we go to here in town said he'd take it out for free. The only catch is that he doesn't put people under, instead he'll give me some local anesthetics and some valium. I take my first valium pill tonight, so i'm interested to see how that makes me feel. I've got one wisdom tooth coming in at a hard angle and it'll push into the my other teeth eventually if it isn't removed. My other 2 wisdom teeth seem to be growing fine, but i don't know if he'll take them out or not. I never had a fourth one grow in.

I think that's all i've gotta tell you about for now. I hope all is well in your life.
