6 Word Saturday

"Started A New Job This Week"

I started a new job this past week and thus have been extremely tired and have not felt like posting lately. The training of my job has not been horrible, but the fact of the matter is when you sit and watch someone do their job this can be very boring and draining. Not only did I start a new job, but this job requires me to commute an hour one way and therefore not only does my day consist of working 8 hours, but also driving a minimum of 2 hours. So to be completely honest with you, I have been extremely tired in the evenings and haven't spent much time on the computer. I promise to write more in the days and weeks ahead, but I have definitely a break from the norm.

I started a contract position with Hertz Corporation and will be doing something I have never done before. The majority of my job will consist of working within the Quality Assurance department. I will be spending most of my time testing scripts, debugging scripts and writing test cases. Hertz is launching a new computer application within their organization regarding the rental process and my job is to assist and ensure that this system is bug free and works as it is designed to do. I know it may sound boring and technically there is a lot of redundancy involved, but I am blessed to have a job and the ability to provide for my family. I am looking forward to the knowledge and skills that I will learn while doing this particular job.

I am hoping to write at least 2-3 posts this next week, so stay tuned and see how things play out on my end. May you have a blessed weekend and week ahead. Remember this next week is very important. It is Easter week. It is not a week to focus on chocolate bunnies and hunting plastic eggs, it is the celebration of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ took a beating that would kill most men and took upon himself all sin, sickness, disease so that we may have life and have it more abundantly. I am eternally grateful for the sacrifice He made for me. I am not against chocolate bunnies and egg hunts and think it is a wonderful opportunity for families to bond and spend time together. I definitely intend to have my fill of candy, but will not forget the sacrifice made and will be celebrating the life I have in Him.

Blessings!

Six Word Saturday

Nothing Like Trying Out Something New.




Well I am going to try something new. It is called Six Word Saturday. Describing my activities for the day in exactly six words. Well at least the title will be six words. :) This week my 6 words is exactly what my title says, nothing like trying out something new. Read on to discover the new activity that I embarked upon today.

Today was one of the Saturday's that you don't really want to do anything. It was very warm outside and the wife with my oldest was out finding treasures while at garage sales. I was in the cool of the indoors watching Toy Story 3 on Netflix with my 4 year old son while the youngest slept. We ended up eating some chicken nuggets and chicken strips while dipping them in Buffalo Wild Wings signature sauces. My favorite is Mango Habanero. It has burn, but follows with a burst of sweetness.

Later in the afternoon we decided to drive over to Norman, home of the Sooners and check out the

We have always talked about going, but have never gone before. For someone that wants to do a lot of remodeling or projects, this is definitely the place to go. The prices are very reasonable and it supports a great organization that builds homes for those who are in need of a home and shares the message of God's love. http://www.habitat.org 

The only purchase we made today was two cans of spray paint, but at $1.99 a can, you can't beat the price. That is even cheaper than the spray paint on sale for $2.99 @ K-Mart.



We will definitely make a trip back soon. I now know where to go for project supplies. We soon headed back home; sleepy from the heat. Me and my mighty Micah man made a detour to to purchase some key ingredients for our dinner. My wife then prepared a wonderful pasta meal with bread and salad. It was so good, I couldn't help but enjoy a second helping.




It was nice to get out and spend some time with the family today even if it was a quick trip over and back. I hope the rest of your weekend is one full of rest and relaxation. Enjoy the time with your family and we will see you soon!
