Have you ever been stuck on a particular food? Recently my wife made pizza bagels. I can't tell you how many times I've had these in the last week. I've had them for dinner, lunch and for snacks. They taste great! I highly recommend them :) The wierd thing is that after this week I probably won't eat them again for years. Next week will be some other wierd item of interest.

I started training for my new job this week. I'm so tired. I've been with the girls all day and then I'm at the store all night. I just want to sleep. I like the job so far. I'll just be glad once I'm on regular hours and Kari is home. then I think it'll be a great situation.

This weekend I decided to checkout what P2P (peer to peer) was all about. So I signed up with Kazaa and played around with it. I must say, in a minute of playing around I was searching, finding and downloading music. But I can't help to feel bad about it. There is so much debate about file swapping out there and now with record companies trying to go after individual swapers, that's a bit scary. I don't know if I like it. I like the idea of getting the music, but I think I'd rather pay for it. Apple's new music service is very interesting. I think I'd use that type of service and I'd feel better about it. I really like using mp3s and having my computer setup as a jukebox. Well, I think until I can find a service that is legal, I'll just keep ripping my own CD's.

I have some exciting news. I just accepted a position as a night manager at our local Econofoods. This will allow Kari to be home more with the girls, and the bank has agreed to let her still manage the bank in part-time hours - working around my new schedule. We're very excited and hope that Kari will eventually be able to stay home full-time. We've been wanting to be able to have Kari at home for some time now and I am very thankful to God for giving us this opportunity.

later...

Update on Nathan: Nathan is doing really well. In fact he might even get to come home this weekend! The doctors ar shocked at his recovery. He hasn't had any sickness or discomfort that most people get when going through treatment.

On a much lower note, my wife's grandfather is dying of cancer and is not expected to live but a few more months. So, please keep Kari and the family in prayer. Her grandfather is the glue that holds her family together so it's going to be very hard when he's gone.
