What just happened?

Well, as you can tell by my lack of recent posts, this first week of class has been a whirlwind! Not only are 3 of my 5 classes writing and reading intensive, not only am I frantically trying to get the hang of my new airport lineman job, but I am also living in at a construction site. The schoolwork is so intensive, I've actually had to schedule when I do what assignment. Well, Tuesday morning before work, my shower just stopped working. What was a fairly small job turned into a huge project. Jeff, Jonathan and I were up until about 2:00 AM fixing the problem...so much for my scheduled homework time. Then, the next night after I returned home, Jeff was in the downstairs kitchen getting ready to install the "new" dishwasher. Jeff's dad showed up this Friday in order to work on my room and get it ready for carpet, stucco and paint. Once that's done, I will have a bedroom!

This week, I will be starting my first day at work by myself on the line. I can't even begin to guess what will happen, so you will just have to wait for a future post to find out.

I attended campus church on Wednesday night and it was great! It is incredible to have Dr. Ergun Caner as our regular speaker. I am really looking forward to going every week. Another cool thing regarding church happened today. We had a special guest at Thomas Road Baptist church, Erik Estrada from CHiPs, was there. I knew he was in Lynchburg filming a public service video months ago and used the Liberty University studio, but was unaware that he was even a church attender.

Another addition to the excitement this week started during the late night plumbing adventure. Living with 4 pilots has already begun to pay off. Jeff's girlfriend, Natalie, has been a friend of mine for years. She and her family have attended McGregor Baptist for decades and I've shared many incredible mission trips with them. Natalie's father, Craig, is a private pilot and owns a plane. Jeff was flying down to Ft. Myers in order to fly back with Craig and Patti in their plane for a visit to Lynchburg. Out of the blue, while replacing the shower pipes, Jeff asked if I'd like for him to pick up Le'Rae while he was down and fly her back for the weekend. Well gee, let me think! Two days later we were still waiting on permission from Craig himself just to be sure it was OK. That permission came 4 hours before takeoff. Le'Rae rushed to get ready and in a few hours, she was in the air! She shadowed me Friday at school and we were able to just relax yesterday and enjoy church today. She left around 2:00 today. It was a nice surprise and I'm glad I didn't have to wait until October to see her.

Talk about a crazy week! I can't think of much more to write and even if I could, I need to get back to studying. I have four books to read, a synopsis to write, logic rules of inference to study and a quiz to study for. Plus, Jeff's dad is hammering away in my future room as I type. I like excitement, but I hope next week is a little less hectic. My head's still spinning.
