Quotes from my favorite 2 year old




While asking Josiah nicely not to pick his nose he responded with:


“Jeni, it’s just what Kids do.”


When Cara asked him not to pick his nose he said:


“Momma, people who pick their noses are happy.”

Airports


You gotta love airports. I’m sitting here in the Sacramento airport wondering why people are so uptight all the time. My flight has been delayed. It is due to mechanical reasons. Now a sane nice normal person might think – oh wow, I’m glad they discovered this before I plummeted 30,000 feet to the ground in a blazing fire ball of death. However, the not so sane-nice-normal person seems to be on my flight. I can’t tell you how many irate people have gone up to the ticket counter to complain. Like that is going to speed up the process. Obviously not-so-nice-or-sane person doesn’t realize that the only thing they are really accomplishing is getting put at the back of the airplane in those crapy seats that don’t recline. He he he. If I were a flight attendant I’d probably be tempted to do nasty things to people who left the manners at home.

Beside this slight detour I’m doing pretty ok. I was rather irresponsible this week and went to bed WAY TOO LATE pretty much every night so I’m exhausted. I think typing is the only thing that is keeping me from dozing in my seat. That and the thought that someone might steal my laptop. That might make me angry. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll get home eventually. I hope to see you all soon!!

Toner or Playground Equipment


Two of my very good friends started their own Internet companies this year. I thought I'd do a little promoting for them and put up their websites in my blog. Please note that my brother in law Steve works for Inkonomy so if you buy from them you are keeping food in the mouth of my very adorable nephew Josiah and aiding in the dream of Cara being a full time stay at home mom (feel guilty yet?) :o)

CLC Graduation and Mothers Day

This blog is really taking me much longer than i had originally intended. I think I started about an hour ago trying to up load pictures from this weekend. Unfortunately, one of the prongy thingy's (yes I said prongy thingy) from my card reader was bent. After about 20 minutes of fiddling with it using a safety pin, which i think i may have lost somewhere in my bed, I Jerry rigged the thing and got the pictures down loaded. Then came the formatting adventure of blogger.com. Lots of fun! :0)

Anyway, I went to the CLC graduation this weekend and thought I would post a few of the pictures. Some really amazing young people graduated this weekend. I'm excited to see what God is going to do with them in the future. I love you all and good luck!



Mr. John Albrect. Graduated with his BA in music theory. I believe the man came in a drummer and left a bass player. He is pretty amazing if I do say so myself. He is also a future missionary to South America.


This is me and the Lovely miss Amy! She graduated with her BA in music theory as well. I think she is taking a music internship next year. She is a missionary kid.



My good friend Jhon with his mom Lucy and friend. Jhon is from Columbia and graduated with his BA in bible theology. He is currently the Spanish Pastor at a church in Livermore, CA.


This is Daniel. He graduated with his BA in Bible Theology and will be going back to Sweden to help his dad and brother in law with their church.

This is Daniel's sister Sophie. She graduated with her AA and will be going back to Sweden to help with her home church as well.



Jake graduated with his BA in bible theology. He also plays the guitar and is a future missionary to South America.

This weekend was also Mother's day. I wasn't able to make it home this weekend (hi mom! I love you) so i spent the day with my church family at Sacramento's House of Praise. Below are several pictures of the Mother's at our church. We also honored Sis. Drea for all her hard work and dedication to the church. She is one of the most selfless people I have ever met. We love you!

Well that's all for now. Below are pictures of me and my partner and crime and her poor husband who is often forced to take part in our adventures. I hope to hear from everyone soon!

Today






What to blog?

So I’ve been thinking. What exactly does one blog about? Is it random musings? Or actual events? So far my week has been rather dull. Work has been ok. I had a rather interesting conversation with a not so smart customer service representative from the City of Sacramento today. It actually put me in a rather foul mood. I was forced beyond my will to get a much needed manicure and pedicure after work to help me relax/unwind from the mental abuse I was put through. Maybe I should sue them for mental distress! HA!!! Now that would be funny…

Sue happy Americans

Actually, there has been a huge issue with people going sue crazy here in California. I guess there are these random people who go to older buildings and then sue the owners if they aren’t ADA compliant. They settle out of court for around $8,000 and then move on to the next property. The sad thing is though that the property owners are forced into doing hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs to make the buildings compliant. While, it is important to have these sites updated, a lot of the requirements are extreme. So Jo blow walks away with 8 grand and property owner has a huge hole in their pocket. Did I mention that Joe Blow isn’t disabled in anyway shape or form? Only in America.

Pictures

Here are a few pictures from my recent trip to Sana Cruz. It was my first trip to a real beach. I’ve actually been to one of the beaches in San Fran but I figure that if you have to wear a coat to visit it doesn’t really count as the Beach. My friend Danny and I were able to find this nifty spot. He braved freezing cold water surfing while I practiced my photography.

I Know I know

Everyone and their brother has a blog...

Anyway, I was actually inspired by my beautiful cousin Michelle to start. It really is a great way to keep everyone up to date on what is going on in my life. I haven't been as good at keeping in touch as I initially planned. Hopefully this will let those I don't call as often still know that I am alive and well in the lovely city of Sacramento.

So here I go! I hope you enjoy!
