Watta week

It has been a really long week since I blogged last, I couldn't wait till 5 o'clock Friday.

Monday after a hard days work we had S.P.A. conference (student, parent, advisor) with Canyon's advisor.

We set up Canyon's classes for next year.  I don't remember doing that at my high school.  I think they offer a lot more class options now.  He wants to go into computer programming as a career so we selected classes accordingly.  We got home in time for bed.

Tuesday after work we met with our small group and started a new study.  Seeing God as God Wants us to See Him.  It says that it will help is not only in our relationship with God, but in all our relationships.  It's taught by Chip Ingram, he is excelent.  We got home just in time for bed.

Wednesday after another hard day at work I had to go to work, at my other job.  I couldn't watch Idol because everybody there wanted to play the jukebox.  I got home way after bed time.

Thursday after a very tired day at work we met with our other small group. (the one we lead)  We got together at Robyn's new place of employment (more on that later) and finished up the study we were doing.  It was about building our faith even when we think God has abandoned us.  By the way, he never will.  One important thing I took away was that we should not only thank God for the things he has done for us, but we should thank Him for the things ne will do.  He is faithful in all His promsises.  He has plans to prosper us.  We got home and went to bed because I was exhausted.

Friday after another dirty day at work, I stopped at redbox and picked up a movie.  Robyn and I watched Crazy Heart while Canyon helped our friends move some furniture.  We liked the movie but it was kind of slow and pretty sad.

Then came Saturday.  Canyon had to work two hours after school at McDonalds.  As you can tell in the picture, it just about killed him.

I wasn't doing much better.  Sleep depravation has an effect on your looks.

Must...have...coffee..

We had our coffee, cleaned up and headed out to take care of some errands.  First stop, the bank.  We needed to deposit Robyn's tips from the coffee shop.  She has been there two weeks now and is starting to like it.  The money isn't much but there is potential.  Here is a picture of two weeks tips.

sweet cash

Debbie made about 5 times this in one night this week.  We needed to go to a hobby and craft store to get some things for Canyon's art project.  The ride was kind of tuff on me because, well I'll show you.

We finished our errands and decided to stop at the new GoodWill in Waukee to see if we could find any treasures to resell and bolster our income.  It seems to work for my brother Steve.  Here we are arriving at the gold mine.

Robyn strikes a pose

We didn't find much but Canyon noticed this old looking cigar tin ad.  I took a pick with my phone and we went home to research it.  We found one on e-bay that was currently bid at $71.  Canyon and I went back up and bought it for $1.99.  Now we have to figure out how to list it and see what happens.  Heres a pic.

Ruff shape but we'll see..

Well, I got one more thing to get done and then we will sit down and get some rest.  It seems that someone has been putting fertilizer down on my back yard, a LOT of fertilizer.  I gotta go shovel some of that up.

That's not clumps of dirt on the grass

Until next time..

Peace
