Once again, it has been quite a while since I have written on here. I have been super busy with work and have barely been able to even get on the internet, my main mode of communication is through the phone which is really weird considering I don't even really talk on the phone that much anyway.
I am working for Stanley Steamer and if you don't know what that is, it is a carpet cleaning company. I'll tell you a little about how I got the job. I remembered that one of my friends that did an infusion a couple of summers ago cleaned carpets and I figured that I would give it a try. I emailed as many as I could find, I think that was on a Thursday. On Saturday morning, I got a call from my the regional manager and he told me to go and have an interview on Monday morning and fill out an application. So I go in Monday morning and it turns out that I get hired on the spot and started that day. Circumstances turned out to be that by Wednesday of that week, I was in charge of a truck and had keys to the shop. Which also means that I got a pay increase within three days. I also have been working essentially 40+ hours a week which means that I have been really tired. This week starts my 4th week working down here in El Paso
A short break that I was able to have was to go back to Colorado for Ryan and Christy's wedding. I was one of the groomsmen in the wedding and I so I got to get all dressed up and have an awesome time. I drove up with a group of people on the Thursday before the wedding and had Ryan's bachelor party which was a blast. I also met my mom in FoCo for dinner that evening just so that I would be able to see at least her while I was in Colorado. Then we had the rehearsal and dinner. I don't think I have seen or ever will see again a rehearsal dinner so elaborate as that one again, it was super fun. Then the day was upon us. They got married in Estes Park and so during the morning we went and played disc golf at the Y there and then got ready after we had finished that really fun course. Took some pictures and then I got to help solve some sound problems which is always fun! And now for the big moment, after dating for 5 and a half years, they were finally at the time. We had gone through everything and all was ready. Ryan was up at the front with the rest of the wedding party and Christy was on her way down. You could tell that Ryan was trying to not make any funny faces as his beautiful bride was walking down the isle. John Meyer gave a great message and then it was time to celebrate. We all had fun dancing and hanging out. We had to head back down to El Paso on the following day, so we went down to my parents house to sleep and then head out from there. My parents made us a Father's day breakfast and we left from there. Thanks again Mom and Dad!
Today I went with my boss and three other people to the Guadeloupe Mountains in Texas. The hike was not all that long but super fun. I took some pictures but my camera died soon after we got on the trail which was epically sad because we saw some amazing sights that I would have loved to take pictures of. Hopefully I will be able to get back there some time soon and take pictures for real this time.
God has been awesome down here and I feel like this is a time of trusting God this summer. Keep praying for us!
