One Other Thing

The music on the left currently is really good.  Make sure to hit play.  The song "Destroy" is more of a narrative but it's really good and encourage you to listen.  The song "Savior" should be heard immediately as it is a continuation.  So Go Listen!

A Blog Seldom Used

So it's official.  I will probably never be a big blogger lol.  I can never remember.  But I figure I can post when I feel like it.  It's not like many people read it anyway.  Maybe that's why it's not that fun for me haha.  Maybe I'll try to go friend some people in the blogosphere.

And now for an update.  I've been living in the trailer for a while now.  My previous post had some pictures of what that looks like.  But the good news is that it's almost over.  Sometime next week we should officially be moving into our new home.  Yay!  The house is pretty darn cool.  They should have the wood floor finished some time today and then it's pretty much just touch-up from here on out.  I'll post pictures at some point.

This house is probably the most colorful we have ever had.  My parents usually just paint the house an off white or tan.  This time it all changed.  We had a couple people from our church who have a good idea of color come and look at the house.  They helped us pick out some crazy colors.  The entry way is a dark brown which opens into a dark yellow living room and light yellow kitchen.  Originally we had a green in the bathrooms and den but it was the most awful color to have covering a room.  It looks fine in my room because 3 of the walls are a light brown and it's just on the accent wall.  So we changed all but my room.  The rest of the house are tans and browns but that's still way more color variation then we have ever had.

Overall the house is turning out to be really cool.  We are gonna have an HD projector with surround sound in the room above the garage which is going to be SWEET!  And we have a brand new Table Tennis Table which will provide many hours of fun.  (We play a lot)

I'm planning on finishing up school here in May.  (Lord Willing)  I will be 19 at the time.  I'm going for a BSBA in Computer Informational Systems.  I can't wait to be done and to be able to work full time.  (That sounds so sad.  But hey, I need money to live)

Those are the big things that are happening in my life right now.  If I think of more I'll keep you posted.  And hopefully I'll remember to post new things. ;)

My Trailer

Inside our Trailer

Parent's Trailer

So I've decided to return to the blogging world.  Haven't done it in quite a while but I think it will give me something to do now that I've moved.   Currently my life is pretty tight.  And by that I don't mean "Cool," I mean that I'm living in a Trailer Mobile Home.  We own two now. One is for my parents and the other is for my three brothers and myself.  Now I don't mind living in such a tight space that much, but it does get difficult when you have very little room to put stuff.  You can kiss large wardrobes goodbye.  We are all sharing one shower in my parents trailer which thankfully gets us hot water.  We have a TV in our trailer and and XBOX 360 and Play Station 3.  Problem is that with 4 brothers it becomes hard to decide what the TV is used for.  We also have Dish Network so at least we have some good shows.  And just a few days ago were able to get Dish Net for our internet.  But it's limited to 20 Gigs of use.  Its not a lot when you want to watch movies and play online video games.  But it's enough for us to work on school and the such.  Most of the time I still go to the church to do the school if I can. 

Now one of the most annoying things is the lack of an actual bathroom.  So yes.  We do have a porapotty and no I do not like it :p  I have actually been able to get away with only using it a few times in the 2......  Or is it 3 weeks?  I don't remember.  Anyway, only a few times in the period we have been living here.  I've been able to wait till work or till I go to the church. 

Now for why we are in the trailers.  If you aren't aware, my family purchased a little over 20 acres of land on which we are currently living.  We built a metal barn which is really nice and we are in the process of building a house.  The concrete is supposed to be poured sometime today.  (YAYAY)  Sad part is that we are still 3 to 6 months from it being finished.  (Pray its on the side of 3).  Now something really cool about the property is that one section of it is a small forest with a creek inside.  A lot of fun to explore and we've created a network of trails throughout it.  In the front of the property its mostly open with lots of really big Pecan trees.  Which just recently started dropping all of the Pecans.  We actually had a lot of fun getting a group to come and help us pick up a bunch of them and then roasting marshmallows and making smores.  Towards the end of the evening a few of us did some really bad swing dancing.  But it was fun. 

This is definitely the least fun part of my family's moving process.  But I think my family will be better for it.  Having to live in such close proximity will ultimately bring us closer.  I don't know how much longer I'll be living here with my family but this will probably some of my last memories of living with them so I might as well make them count.  Pray that we are strong, have good attitudes, and have family unity.   And most of all that we honor God with how we live.  I think if we keep those things in check then this place will be a pretty fun place to live.
