I'm stoked!

God's blessings are sweet and wonderful.

Why I'm excited: Abigail gets a week off when the students at Nacogdoches High School have spring break (her work schedule generally follows the schedule of the students). The fact that she gets time off is great, but even better is that she is going to come to Washington and spend that time with ME! Great right? It gets better.

I have a dear friend, Stephani, who is getting married the Saturday after Abigail's time off starts. I wanted to go to the wedding but needed to first get permission to exceed the milage limit that my job puts on me for general travel during "off duty" time. So talking with one of my bosses about getting permission to go he mentioned the idea of asking the big boss for the Friday and Monday off from work. This can be granted and not count as real vacation time. I never would have thought to ask this, but as Boss 1 said, why not ask? So I did. Boss 2 said, "no prob Bob."

Ergo, visa vee, concordantly, I get to see Abigail for about 8 days. Because of getting off from work and then because the following Friday is already an off day for the whole post, I'm going to only have to work 3 out of 8 days Abigail and I are together!

Can it get much better than that? I submit that it cannot (of course it can, but hey, not by much)!

I mean, how sweet is that!

Speaking of sweetness, I was able to get Abigail a cake for Valentine's Day and the report was that it went over very well. I hear her family partook of it with her, so I guess I got Brownie Points, or should I should Cake Points, with them as well.




Sweet...

Forget my ugly mug and pray for this Wonderous Woman

So I think that Abigail is definitely much more enjoyable to behold and since she may be the only one to even read this thing, hey, here's flattering you, babe.



Furthermore, and much more important that ogling MY GIRLFRIEND, (got it? (don't forget I get paid to blow stuff up!)) please, please, PLEASE, pray for her. She is having surgery in 3 days. If you are interested learning more about her and her surgery you can visit Abigail's blog. Oh, and if it is you, Abigail, reading this, don't forget to pray for yourself! Just in case you forgot. And if you're only reading this because you wanderd onto my blog from Abigail's, well, then thanks for visiting, guess you're not getting much variety in the way of blog subject matter.

But seriously, please pray for her and the surgery. Praise be to Christ, the One who is Faithful and True! Praise be to God, whose authority is complete. Praise be to Jesus, whose love for us is finished, complete, unconditional. Praise be to our Heavenly Father who not only loves us, but really, truly, stunningly LIKES us!
