ok. i had forgotten about this blog until tonight. i haven't posted because i haven't thought about it and i (evidently) haven't had much to say.
life is pretty good. work is very busy. the whole "rapid transformation" process has been fairly stressful but not too much so. our group has gone from 8 to 6, then to 5 and hopefully back to 6 very soon. we've got at least 2 big projects coming up in the next month and lots of work to do. i think we'll get it all done. i just hope we're all in good spirits while doing it.
other than work, things are good. SS and i are still dating and having fun. i've been lazy around the house so no big project have begun lately. i did buy a new (to me) truck, though. its been good so far. i'm going to find out this weekend or next how hard it is to change the oil.
we went to the movies twice this past weekend. on friday night we saw The Prestige. i highly recommend it. i like movies that you have to think about and this one definetly fit the bill. it is a little hard to follow at first, but once you get into it, it gets really good. don't worry, though, they explain everything at the end.
on saturday afternoon we went to see Facing the Giants. it is quite obviously an independent film with an overtly Christian message. it was a cute little movie that left you feeling good. i think the main actor did a good job but the script was very weak and many of the supporting characters were not very good. it lacked a little polish but overall wasn't bad. i kind of disagree with the message it gave, however. basically it said that if you trust/praise God in everything, it all will turn out like you want it to. i'd have actually liked the movie a lot better if they didn't win the state championship and the coach and his wife weren't able to have children. at least then it would have been a little more realistic in that what we want isn't always what God has planned and what ultimately ends up happening. overall, i'd give the movie 2.5 out of 5 stars.
i also saw a preview for Jesus Camp. that movie looks scary on several levels. i'll have to see it.
