i saw the champions

I am not in any way a Boston Red Sox fan. By baseball law, I can't be because my favorite team (Baltimore Orioles) is in the same division. That to say, I wasn't particularly thrilled with the Red Sox winning the world series. However, the one positive thing about Boston winning is that this is the first time that I got to see the eventual world champions play in person (3 times: 2 in Seattle, 1 in Boston). That's kind of cool I suppose.

forgotten money

I had to open an account with Pacific Power in June in order to have electricity over the Summer. Though the payments weren't too bad, I did have to put down a deposit of over $100 in order to open an account with them. Since I am now in a living situation where utilities are included in my rent, the Pacific Power account is no longer necessary, so I closed it. However, I had forgotten about the deposit until today when I received it back. Most excellent! What am I going to do with that money? More like, what DID I do with that money? I put it towards an ipod. This long desired purchase should move my mindless job at Home Depot from 'tolerable' to 'somewhat enjoyable'.

i'm back, though I never left

I guess I just lost interest in updating this thing for awhile. Here's a little update of my life over the past couple of months:

The new living situation is working out well and has helped bring consistancy back to my life after living in a couple different places over the past few months.

I received another raise at work.

I've been actively involved in the youth group at Journey with the Jr. High and with worship.

I went to a youth leaders conference in Redding with Heather, Andrew, Micah, and Amanda and had an incredible encounter with the Lord.

I went to Portland a couple of weekends ago and saw the folks for the first time in many months since they were gone last time I was in town.

That's about it for now.
