well work is going alright. i'm finally getting more involved in doing stuff. i enjoy the work but it's gets a bit boring for me. maybe not so much boring as it's just really difficult for me to sit here all day. by the time i get out at 4, i feel like i'm about to explode. but i'll be doing actual traffic engineering in a week or 2. i guess by the end of the summer i'll know whether or not this is the sort of stuff i want to do when i get done with school. just a warning to all you new coffee drinkers out there: go easy on the dark stuff. you may not like the effects of it (particularly on your intestinal system). go figure. took me a week to pinpoint exactly what it was. no more of the "dark brew" for me. gonna stick to the "special roast".

stuff got a little rough with jess and i the other day, but i feel a lot better about it now. i hope she does too. i think we've come to a good solution. one that will be best for us. at least for now. man, problems get a lot tougher as a relationship furthers. seems like everyones going away. jesse's sister just went to Florida and will soon be in Thailand, "never" to return to TN. Sam is in K-burg and will soon be on her way to Hong Kong. Todd's going to Maine in a few weeks. HG, Ryan, and Hayley are going to Europe soon (phhhh... newbies.). Scotts going to... school... and then to memphis (i think?). i'm... not going anywhere. YET. and niether is jesse. yeah, it's looking less and less like i'm going to get to drive out west this summer. son of a... i was really looking forward to that. so yeah, john, i may not be out there as soon as i thought. but mark my words... now.

jesse is now employed! and she gets to go to work earlier than i! it's about time she learned what it was like to get up that early everyday. yeah. God is very good. it's a real blessing that He helps jess and i be strong for one another when it's really needed. i truly believe that there isn't a problem her and i can't work out through God's help.

operation "eat less, move more" is underway. we'll see if it's a success.

update: operation "build wicked catapult" is almost completed. oh man, this thing is gonna friggin rock. i just took the concrete weight out of it's mold. what a hog. i don't see how this thing COULDN'T work. the arm alone (without the sling) is going to swing about 11ft in the air. then add the 5ft sling at the end og that. man that's going to be some good compounded force! i hope everyone's stocking up on water ballons.

i emailed all my friends from Europe a "5 months later checkup" letter yesterday. i hope i hear back from some of them soon. i miss those guys. some of the neatest people i've ever met.

well, i guess if i write anymore you probably will get bored. ah who cares, nobody's forcing you to read this. get off me.

i enjoy chris rice's voice. and the lead jars of clay guy. if i could choose a singing voice, it's be one fo their's.

i bid on Dig Your Own Hole on ebay. i'd like a real copy of that cd. it's a great one.

oh! i talked to corey from church last night at 11:00. it was 4pm today her time, which is awesome. she sounded great. i think she's having a great time with the mission work. i wanna go to new zealand. corey said i'd like it.

later.
