"Somewhat Depressed"

So, I am very thankful that we were able to buy a house. God provided it for us and it is very nice. I am really struggling, though, with the lack of any property, yes we can do what we want with the house, but that is about the size of it. 1000Sq ft to play with and no more. This really didn't seem that bad when I first thought about it, but that was when I assumed that we were at least getting two parking spots next to our garage. Now, we are confined to the garage (where they apparently think I can park one car) and one spot beside the garage. Now the whole reason that I wanted a garage was so that I would have somewhere to keep all of my tools and stuff. As most of you know, a one car garage will not hold all of that and a car. So, until today, we have parked one car perpendicular to the garage right between the garage and the alley. The truck has been in our one parking spot and the other car has been parked on the street. This was a fine setup although more room would have been nice. Today, however, Brenda got a call on her cell phone while at work telling her that the lady that just moved in behind us couldn't get her car out of her garage because our car was in the way. Brenda called me (I was at Wal-Mart) to tell me this and they wanted one of us to come home and move the car. Now before you think that I am just whining you need to realize that I very easily could have backed any of our vehicles out of her garage with little worry about hitting a car across the alley. Anyway, long story short, when I got home the new neighbor, who had called to complain, had gotten her car out with some help from another lady. Now, we are being told that we can't park there because we are in the firelane. (We parked here for 2 months and noone said anything to us, but now when someone whines, it is a firelane!!) So, I am having a hard time because although I know a house is better than an apartment, I don't feel like I have any more freedom here than I did when I was under our old landlord! Please pray that I can learn to have a good attitude despite my great irritation!!!!

Then I'm going to bed!

"Hey Look, Zachary finally posted!!!"

Hey everyone, I worked my different schedule at work this last week. It was very different and really threw off my routine. Anyway, I think it is going pretty well, I have learned a lot and there is still much to learn. The good thing is that I am not bored! The only bad thing about it is that I have to go to bed at about 7:30pm if I don't want to be too tired the next day.
In other news, the church purchased a video system this week and I was able to go out and do some of the required electrical work for them. I still have some more to do, but we will have power to the projector and the screen by mid afternoon today! Next week, when the computer comes, I will have to run some more wires and stuff. It looks like a really nice system and I am anxious to have it working!
As most of you already know from Brenda's blog, our little turtle died. That was very sad, but I was even more sad last week when my largest turtle, Squirt, got sick. We did what we could for him, and, I am happy to report, that he has made a full recovery and is doing very well again! Hooray!! Well, I guess I am off to church!

I love the song that I put on here. For any who don't know it, it is called "There She Stands". It's by Michael W. Smith, it's kinda long, but worth the listen in my opinion!!!

Sorry for the lengthy delay

I have been doing other things on the computer rather than updating my blog! For instance, yesterday I got a new router (yes, another one). I played with that for quite a while! It is very similar to my old router, but it came with a usb wireless antenna so that I can connect any usb enabled computer to a wireless network! Here is a picture of the new product!

Needless to say, this was a very exciting day. I also got a free game of golf, a much needed new wallet, a divot repair tool, some little Lego cars and some money. Oh, and I almost forgot a nice new Quicksilver shirt and some jeans! For any of you wondering why I got so much stuff on one day, yesterday was my birthday! I am now 25! The kids at AWANA last night were guessing my age was 35 or 38. Apparently I look much older than I was aware! Thanks to all for the great Birthday presents! I will try to post sooner this next time!

Oh, if I don't post, please, don't get mad at me. I am changing schedules at work for the next two to four weeks. Instead of working Saturday through Monday, 3:30pm to 2:00am, I will be working Tuesday through Friday, 5:00am to 3:30pm. I think I may die from having to get up so early! I am going to that shift to learn how to do another job so that I can be of more use on my current shift. Please pray that I will be able to handle this wierd schedule and still function normally!
