Well it's been a great week so far. John spent the first part of it in Orlando at smoke school training. He is getting the opportunity to learn the environmental manager role in addition to his current technical manager job right now, so this training is part of that.
This past Sunday, John and I got to make our first acting appearance in Florida. At our church, we got to be apart of a short skit they had during the morning service. We had to pretend we were hurt and sitting in a doctors office waiting room. John was on crutches with his foot wrapped up and I had my arm in a sling. Neither one of us had a speaking part, but I did however get to scream loud and run out of the room, which was pretty funny. The funniest part was people actually thought we were hurt before the service since they didn't know about the skit! One lady said she was getting ready to start asking people to volunteer to bring us food until she realized it was just part of an act. It's been fun getting involved in our new church. God has really blessed us with some new amazing friends and another awesome church!
Lately, I have had fun attempting some various craft projects. I have made a new wreath for the door, a flower arrangement for the dining room, some baby signs that are for baby gifts, some coasters, and other various things. I will try and load some pictures for you to see. I never knew it could be so much fun being crafty! It also amazing at the ideas you can get on the Internet. Plus it's a lot cheaper to make a gift than buy one, plus you can personalize it!
This Saturday, we are going to take a trip to Valdosta and visit some friends. I am excited about getting to see everyone! Plus, we will get to visit our old church there, which will be nice. Our dog, Daisy, is also excited cause she will get to visit her "boyfriend" Rocky. Rocky is a jack russell terrier and was Daisy's best bud when we lived in Valdosta. I know she really misses having him to play with!!
Things have been a little better at plant for John lately. The price of the product they make rose $5 and they have finally shipped out all the extra inventory they had sitting in the warehouse. They are also getting new orders in to fill. This is definitely a answered prayer, since the economy is still drowning and the housing market is no better. I pray the price will continue to rise and demand will increase! Even though the price rose $5 it's still to low to make any money compared to the price it cost to produce it. However, John did say if it rose another $5 then they would hopefully see a little profit, which would be great!
Today, my sister called and asked: "Did you know that Grandmother was on Facebook?" Since I had not signed on in a while, I didn't know yet, and was presently surprised. My sister and I got a good laugh at this news! I think it's great that she is so computer savvy and can now keep up with all her grandkids via facebook! Ha!! Now my mom and dad are behind the times and mom says she will be fine with it staying that way! We will see how long that lasts!! At one of the Goodyear tire meetings in DC this week dad was at, the guy recommended they get facebook accounts. My dad got a kick out of that. I guess we will have to wait and see if he ever takes the advice.
Well, that's about all that has been going on lately. God is truly blessing us even in this horrible economy and for this I am very grateful! More importantly, I am thankful to have a God that never leaves me and who gives me a peace that surpasses all understanding so I no longer have to worry about circumstances I cannot control!
