And another one...

I got a kick out of this...
Last night I accidentally broke one of my mother's Pyrex pie plates. I felt bad because she's had it for so long, so I decided to replace it. I did a search for "Pyrex Cookware" and turned up their site. I found what I was looking for and ordered it. Keep in mind that I *only* ordered the one pie plate. After I had checked out, on the final page it said "Your order may arrive in more than one shipment". My first thought was, "I hope not". After all, that's what got me into this mess in the first place. :-)

A couple of Laughs...

Today I was working on a printer (a Lexmark X1185, to be precise) trying to get it cleaned. In the maintenance section of the printer properties, it had a number of tools.
1. Clean to fix horizontal streaks
2. Troubleshoot other ink problems
3. Align to fix blurry edges and....


4. Remove Japanese postcard residue.

I kid you not. That's what it said.



Last Thursday I had my first Astronomy class. I learned a number of interesting things (one of which is that my professor is coming from the perspective that the universe is 14.5 Billion years old, which, since I'm a Christian, I'm having a rather difficult time with...) Another interesting thing I learned is that there are clouds of dust out there in outer space. That's right - Dust. But not only dust. Dust, and all the chemicals and components needed to create human life, and DNA, etc. My first thought was: "How ironic. Man has finally discovered that God has just the materials ready to replace us!"

I just found those rather entertaining and so I thought I'd post them. :-)

Finally!

I get a chance to write an entry! :-) Well, I suppose I should start with a little bit about myself, but Josiah's already told you about me. He was very sweet about it too, I might add. :-) Well, since you already know that my name is Katie and that I'm engaged to Josiah and we're getting married in May, I'll tell you that I'm currently a college student studying languages and business and running my mother's small business. Like Josiah, I'm a Christian, however, I'm not a geek. I know my way around computers, but that's about it. He's working on that though. ;-) I love to dance, read, cook, organize (yes, really), learn foreign languages and spend time with Josiah. He's such a wonderful man! Any of the girls out there reading this will appreciate it when I say he's every girl's dream. Sweet, sensitive, caring, handsome, smart, good with kids, hardworker and willing to talk about his feelings. *Hopes Josiah doesn't get embarrassed and delete this post* ;-)

Well, I suppose that should be enough for now. There Josiah, I posted! ;-)

Busy Busy Busy....

Well I started work again the end of last week, and am going back to my regular schedule today. We got the walls around the shower built, and the plumbing partially installed. I start school again next week (My final semester, YAY!!!!) and Katie and I are still planning the wedding.

I've got five new computers to work on, most of them are dealing with malware removal. Speaking of which, I really need to get my fourth PL underway...Sorry, I'm kind of in a random frazzled state of mind this morning...
Rebirthing - Skillet

I lie here paralytic inside this soul
Screaming for you till my throat is numb
I wanna break out
I need a way out
I don't believe that it's gotta be this way
The worst is the waiting
In this Womb I'm suffocating

Feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take you in
I've died

Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now
I wanna live my life, wanna give you everything
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Right now
Right now

I lie here lifeless in this cocoon
Shedding my skin cause I'm ready to
I wanna break out
I found a way out
I don't believe that it's gotta be this way
The worst is the waiting
In this Womb I'm suffocating

Feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take you in
I've died

Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now
I wanna live my life, wanna give you everything
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
(I come alive somehow)

Tell me when I'm gonna live again
Tell me when I'm gonna breathe you in
Tell me when I'm gonna feel inside
Tell me when I'm gonna feel alive
Tell me when I'm gonna live again
Tell me when this fear will end
Tell me when I'm gonna feel inside
Tell me when I'll feel alive

Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now
I wanna live my life, wanna give you everything
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
(I come alive somehow)
Right now (I come alive somehow)
Right now (I come alive somehow)

Happy New Year!

I was going to write a post and try and post it at midnight last night, but we were watching a movie until after that, so I kinda didn't get around to it... Oh well...

Looking back, 2008 was a tough year, but I think I emerged stronger for it. I went through a very difficult time through the first half of the year, but God pulled me through. To those of you who are or have been going through hard times, I will say this - God knows what he's doing.

Two years ago, a very close friend of mine left the state. I was heartbroken for a long time. I never, ever would have guessed that God was preparing me to be married this coming May. I still wonder at how God has worked so many different situations out in my life, to make me the man I am today.

Even though God has transformed me from the boy I was into the man I am now, I know that I am still a work in progress. God has blessed me and matured me over the past couple years, even though I couldn't see it for the longest time. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for me this upcoming year. :-)

In The Light - DC Talk

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you
I am the king of excuses
Ive got one for every selfish thing I do

Whats going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a savior

(chorus)
I wanna be in the light
As you are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, lord be my light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light

The disease of self runs through my blood
Its a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control

Tell me, whats going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a savior

(repeat chorus)

Honesty becomes me
[there's nothing left to lose]
The secrets that did run me
[in your presence are defused]
Pride has no position
[and riches have no worth]
The fame that once did cover me
[has been sentenced to this earth]
Has been sentenced to this earth

Tell me, whats going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a savior

(repeat chorus 2x)

[there's no other place that I want to be]
[no other place that I can see]
[a place to be that's just right]
[someday I'm gonna be in the light]
[you are in the light]
[that's where I need to be]
[that's right where I need to be]
