Congrats!

[gw] Congrats to my HONEY [yw] on getting promoted to manager at work! She's definitely deserving of it, especially with all those early mornings and late nights that I don't see her. She makes me jealous that I'm not working anymore. : ( But I'm happy that she's happy.

And I counted 20 papers that I wrote this semester. That seems a lot me. That is a lot to me. I've never written that many papers in a semester. That's not including all the quizzes I studied for in my Greek class, and passages I had to memorize. whew! Now I have to work to retain it all. whew, praying that my brain won't fry.

So I'm reading a book on Christian counseling. It brings up all the dilemma's a Christian counselor has to encounter when reconciling their faith and recent studies in psychotherapy, pretty interesting. I thought of going into counseling for a brief moment, because I thought I read people real well, but then my wife promptly told me that I would not have patience with the people I talk to. Which is true. Sad, but true. So I quickly dropped the idea.

Just wanted to show you a pic of my wife's sugar cookies from scratch. She's been perfecting it all week. It looks pretty professional to me! She even made Longhorn cookies. Props to Matt for bringing a Longhorn cookies cutter from Austin.

I'm back

[gw] Finished my last assignment for the semester! woohoo! I didn't know the grading system of DTS was so difficult. An A- is a 93-94, which gives a 3.7 GPA. Man, no more perfect 4.0. I only have 3 weeks off before I start a one week winter class that I have to start reading for. So not much a break for me! But I hope to get in a book that isn't required by my class (25 Surprising Marriages.) But I also need to finish all those wedding Thank You cards that I haven't been able to finish because of classes. I'll do that while traveling and resting on the beach of Hawaii!!

New Deal

[gw] I haven't had a chance to update in awhile. I'm behind in uploading pics and making my comments on the books I've read. I've been in a study hole. Non-stop papers and reading. So I'll try and do better. Thank you for everyone that supported and prayed for us while in Bolivia. We'll put up more pics soon, here's one from Santa Cruz though. But, I'll be in a hole a couple more weeks. I have six papers to write and 3 finals to study for. whew.

The house in Austin finally closed and sold. Last amount of money I'll make for awhile. All proceeds will be going to the fine institution of DTS.
