My apology to my faithful blog readers who checked my blog last week to find no new posts to my blog. We haven't had the Internet installed at home yet, but are scheduled to get it this week, so that makes it hard to post regularly. However, that's not the real reason for not being able for finding the time to post. I've just been busy.
Last Sunday we had an Open House for friends and family to come and see our place. 60+ peeps were able to make it, which was sweet. We are blessed by our relationships and the support we have from all our friends, so it was great to be able to open our home to those people. One of the coolest things we learned during our time staying with friends was that our home can be a gift from God for our use, as much as it is for anyone else's, so that was fun to open it up for others. We hope to be able to do that more.
Then after a few hours of sleep, the week took off quick as I headed to Orlando to Campus Crusade HQ for two days of meeting with various people in the IT department down there. It was a great vision trip for me, as I had yet to meet any of the folks I sometimes work with on various corporate wide issues. But it did wear me out as well. We spent basically two days in non-stop meetings, which were beneficial, but I never do well sitting on my rear and talking that long.
We returned home late Tuesday, but it wasn't till Saturday that I finally felt rested. I honestly thought multiple-times this week how I don't know how business people travel so regularly. I was so lethargic all week as a result from the travel, that I came home a slept multiple nights after work.
Last week also included our AIA Christmas Party, as well as a trip to Kent State for Chelsey's cousin's graduation. It was neat to spend some extended time with her full family, engage with them, and get to know them better. I really enjoyed the trip, and the time spent with them.
But as I come to a close about last week, I realize that sharing what I did is less important than sharing what I learned, so I hope to find sometime this week to do just that.
And I also ask for your prayers this week, as I begin a special project this week for work. I'm sure I will be blogging about it later this week.
Feliz Navidad ~ Andy
