Here we go again
Well, I'm back...not that I think ye olde Pitch and Green was that missed. There have been alot of changes in the months since I last posted. Here's what's new:
1) I've changed jobs. Well, not exactly changed, my position was "eliminated" at City Of Faith. Yep. I walked in one morning and the big boss asked me to walk outside with her and she proceeded to tell me that they had decided to make the Lafayette halfway house an "all Federal House", thus eliminating the need for a state case manager(since there will no longer be state inmates). I was giving the option of taking a demotion to resident security or go find another job. I opted for the latter and now I'm managing a doctor's office. I'm still doing my lawn care as well, and it's coming along nicely.
2) We are expecting our fifth child. We found out last month so we'll be having #5 in October. WAHOOOOO! 5 kids....wow.
3) Our church is buying a building. An actual church building and our pastor, Stan, has purchased the house next door to the church. Yes, it's your fixer-upper right now. It was a daycare for the past 30 years and so will need some remodeling to get it back to looking like a church again...well, at least the sanctuary will. We may open the daycare back up as a ministry of the church, not sure yet.
4) We've been reading all of the Harry Potter books. I must say, they are very enjoyable. We've just finished The Goblet of Fire and are starting Order Of The Phoenix today. The boys absolutely devour these books. I'm very impressed at how engaging the boys are in talking about them. They are starting to pick out symbolism in books and in movies. I never thought like that until I was out of college.

Glad you are back! I tried to leave a comment to let you know that your posts were not showing up on Nolablogs, but it didn't work because your comments were not working and I didn't have an email address! Congrats on the new church building. My husband and I actually attended APC for several years until my daughter was born, so we are glad to hear of that great event. And even more congrats on the new baby! Children are wonderful! Your wife, too, must be quite wonderful (and busy! – especially with the boys – we had our first one and what a difference from our first-born daughter!)! I like to hear the good news all around!

Congratulations to you and Candice on the new baby, the new job, and the new church building! Glad to hear y'all are doing well.

Debbie, thank you for the congratulations on both events. I didn't know that ya'll attended APC. Who was the pastor back then? The pastor's name now is Stan Pace and he is really the kind of pastor that leads by example. How we got him...I just don't know. Candice says she's convinced she can feel some movement by the baby(only 9 weeks), she calls them flutters.

Christin, thank you milady. You really should find an excuse to visit Lafayette. Just be prepared...you'll seriously think about moving.

Welcome back. I know I see y'all just about every week but you know what I mean. I guess the last time I checked this adress must have been at least two weeks ago;-)
