exploring & working

A couple weeks ago, I went to Missouri with my parents. My dad likes to go kayaking on the St. Francis River near Fredericktown, and he wanted to take me and my mom to see it. So two Saturdays ago, we went to check it out. There was still snow on the ground. It was beautiful. The beauty was an incredible reminder of God's wonder and majesty. It never hurts to be reminded of it. On the way home, we stopped through Perryville, MO and found an incredible pizza place, Galati's. It was really good. I highly recommend it if you are ever in that area.

My job has been going really well. I'm still learning all the printing lingo and jargon. Because I'm pretty well-versed in the computer end of the business, especially the Mac platform. But we've been pretty busy, which is good for business. So I can't complain.

We've been planning lots of events for the youth. Last night we had our youth leaders meeting. The spring banquet is going to be EPIC to say the least. We're already talking about camps, and summer mission trips. I'm so excited for all the things the youth are going to get to do. God is so going to rock some faces off of these youth kids. It's going to be awesome.

Here's a few pictures from our trip to the river & a few pictures from the past couple of weeks :)

1) new pizza place in Perryville, MO called Galati's — this is my extra cheesy smile for deliciously cheesy pizza
2) I got candy & a balloon at work for doing such a good job one day :)
3) helping Jackie paint at her new house
4) my new JFK book, "The Quotable Kennedy," I got at the antique mall in Marion this past Saturday. it's filled with some interesting stuff.
