PINK VACUUM!

Lately it has been really cold on KY. More cold than I would have liked, however, the huge ice and snow storm we had not to long ago was wonderful! It brought me back to a winter in MI! Many lost power in the storm and I certainly don't wish that on anyone, but I was fortunate to not have lost power thus allowing me to enjoy it more.

The semester started recently and glad to be learning at a seminary where the truth is sought for and held to the highest standard. What a blessing it has been in my life. The class I am taking isn't what I thought it was going to be, or at least not to this point it isn't. However, it is still a great class to take; Biblical Hermeneutics. Just by pure science, I am learning, that we can rely on and know that many of the good modern text of scripture are accurate to what the original authors wrote.

My new job is kind of crazy, my facility is really busy. I am enjoying learning a new Computed Tomography(CT) scanner. As well as developing my skills as a CT technologist. I am gearing up to and working toward taking a test that would certify my in CT. It will be some grueling studying after I get all my competencies fulfilled. I will have to re-learn my physic and math portion plus learn new physics and math portion specific to CT scanners. As well all the other things I will need to refresh on. That stuff should be easier since I use it all the time in my day to day working environment.

I have been losing weight! which is a wonderful thing. I am trying to get my life into healthy limits again. This is my second attempt this school year to lose weight, the first time I was around 255-260. I dropped down to 245ish and then the holidays hit. I went back up to 250. Now I am down(as of this am) to 235.5. This time though I have a commitment to getting healthy that I have not had in along time. The realities of my life are hitting me harder as I get older. I don't want to be an unhealthy father or husband.

This semester I am all going to start going to biblical counseling. There are alot of issue in my life that I think come from my life growing up. My issues are negatively affecting how I view my family(the hills)/my wife/my birth family/God/friends/fellowship of Believers. Anyways, I am both super excited to start dealing with this stuff and very much nervous and afraid of what is ahead of me.

Our vacuum died a couple of weeks ago. So I took some pieces off it to discover that our belt had broke. So like a responsible husband I went on-line and ordered a new belt for it. When they came in I put the new belt on and tried it out. Just seconds after turning it on we were again smelling burnt rubber. I looked again at the belt, it too was broken. I ventured to touch the motor the belt was connected to and it was HOT. All this to say, we got a new Vacuum this past weekend. It is a DYSON! We had been research them for awhile and have been keeping out eyes peeled for a good deal on one for quite some time. Although we did not expect to buy a new one for awhile. needless to say, we did find a great deal on one at target and bought it. the bad part about it....it is pink. That is why we got a good deal on it. It is a special addition for breast cancer. Anyways, they seemed to have an over abundance of them, thus the really good sale. Needless to say, it is a great vacuum! Far greater sucktion power than our previous vacuum. I wont mention the brand we previously had, **cough, cough, bissell, cough, cough** as we were not happy with it at all as far as it's cleaning abilities.

how about that for a new blog.
