Woodsman and Party Animal

I got to cut some firewood today.  I have not quite mastered loading wood into the trailer with the tractor yet.  I was pretty good at it with Mark's John Deers, but am not fluent yet with my own tractor.  Mine is a lot harder to operate and a lot older.  I resorted to just dragging a bunch of the big stuff home.  Hopefully the county guys don't come knocking on my door.  They should have no trouble telling who wrecked the road.  The drag marks run right into my driveway and end with a big pile of logs.  It was a lot of fun.  I loved going in road gear after the tires were caked in mud.  There was mud flying every direction.  It was so cool!

After the wood collecting I got to go celebrate my nephew's 8th birthday.  It seems like just yesterday when Annie was upset because there was a terrible snow storm and she was unable to be there for his birth.  She got to go the day after.  That was back when we actually got snow.  I can't say I have missed it.

After the party Mark and I went to Waterloo for a hockey game.  It apparently got cancelled.  I am assuming that the other team was unable to travel die to bad weather in Nebraska.  We went shopping instead.  I bought all sorts of food for our Super Bowl gathering tomorrow.   Hope I got enough food.

Cameron called me back after two days of phone tag.  I tried to get him to tell me about asking Bayley to prom, but apparently he was at an honor band practice and "couldn't hear me very well."  He couldn't have picked a better person to go with.  Bayley is a beautiful person that is very in love with the Lord.  Annie is very good friends with her.  What a special couple of kids.  These kids are part of why we stay inspired to do what we do.  Kids who are getting what God has for them because of the righteous choices they make.  Praise God!

We should probably go to church tomorrow, but I have a ton of stuff to do.  We observe our Sabbath on Mondays because I always work on Sundays.   Haters back off.  I'm not going to feel much guilt for not getting up in the morning to go.  Any guilt I do feel will go away with a good couple touches to the snooze button.  We will find the right church eventually.  It is just a matter if time.  We are praying for guidance in our search and are working on exhausting our options.
