Introducing...My Friend Sam

I'd like to introduce to you my friend Samantha Krieger. She and I met at BluefishTV where we've been co-workers and friends for over a year now. Samantha is a writer at Bluefish so I love hearing her stories about projects that she's working on. When she's not doing cool things like writing discussion guides for Mark Batterson studies and interviewing Max Lucado and Randy Alcorn, she's doing other cool things like Apartment Life ministry and taking care of her new baby! Samantha is a woman of God who encourages and inspires me. She's now on our list of blogs! Enjoy.


P.S. True friends both love Dave Ramsey. BFFs!

Communication Problems

I am in the middle of picking on Aaron. He sent a text to about ten people and 15 minutes later only one person has responded. He kept saying things like "Lets see if Aunt so-and-so has figured out how to text yet". I just sent a text to about 10-15 people and I had 3 texts within the same minute and several others in the minutes following the text. Picking on Aaron ensued.

Me: "Ah-ha Aaron. I already have people texting me back! My people are with it!

Aaron: (Silence)

Me: "How many people did you send a text to?"

Aaron: slightly aggitated "Like ten"

Me: "Ha ha. I already have like 5 texts and I sent mine a few seconds ago. My people are tweeters, texters, bloggers, ballers and shot-callers!"

Aaron: (sounding annoyed) "Whatever."

Me: (Chuckling) "It's okay Aaron. Why don't you just send a telegraph to them. (can't stop laughing), or maybe contact them through morse code. (Laughing harder) Maybe you should start a fire and use smoke signals BAHAHAH."

Aaron: silent pause "Do you want this one address?"


Me: "BA HAhha oh hee hee, ah, hee......yeah sure" "Oh,....just got another one! I have six (text) so far"

Aaron: (under his breath, i could hardly hear him): "Nobody's texting me"

Bridesmaids Dresses

they evade me. I am bound and determined to find some...TODAY.

I can't find these styles anywhere! getting frustrated!

the hunt is on

i'm trying to pin down an invitation for the wedding and it's really hard. It's hard because there are so many different choices out there. One thing for sure though, I'm trying to buy local to help out the mom and pop places. There are three different ladies that i'm talking to. One lady just closed her shop after 8 years of invitation/stationary business and is trying to go at it online. Another lady does invitations as a second side job. I'm having fun planning this wedding. no stress yet. I always thought that I would be one of those brides that cares about every little detail. I've found that I really don't. but I should probably get it in gear since it's getting a little closer. Yikes!

New Funny Man

Tim Hawkins is the new Christian comedian on the block. His stuff is HI-LAR-I-OUS. I heard about him from a co-worker todayand have been youtubing him since. Check out these two funny videos. More can be found at his website by clicking on this link. Enjoy!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow I'm driving, yes DRIVING to Corpus. I have been fortunate enough to have Aaron flying me back and forth every six weeks or so. But this week Aaron's sister, Angela, was able to take a flight from Seattle to San Antonio to visit her family in Corpus along with her 3 month old baby, Ava. Angela moved to Seattle a couple of years ago after she was married. Her husband is stationed at the Naval base there. I really want to see her again and little Ava (for the first time), otherwise I will have to wait until the wedding in October. mas long.

So, tomorrow I'm leaving early from work to head down to the Sparkling City by the Sea. I'll be coming back on Sunday.

Spring Break is Great

Spring Break is great for many reasons. Most of these wonderful reason quit applying to me several years ago. But working for a ministry that works with ministers has it's perks. Alot of churches have staff who will either go on vacation, or missions trips, etc during spring break. This slow down is allowing me time to catch up on some tasks and project that are sitting on my desk. The only pitfall....when they come back, its gonna be non-stop.

Enjoy the rest of your spring break,... if it applies to you.
