bowling

tonight wes and i went bowling with our small group and another from our church. the bowling was okay, although i am not so good. it was hard to talk because it was very loud in there, but it was nice to visit with a few people who were around me-even people that i get to talk to often, but i never seem to run out of stuff to talk about with them. don't you find that's a funny phenomenom? the more you see/talk to people, the more you have to talk about, but people that you don't see very often, it can seem hard to find anything to talk about. there was a girl at church that i was pretty good friends with in college, i really liked her. i haven't seen her in about 5 years. you would think there would be a whole lot of stuff to talk about, but i had a hard time filling 5 minutes. anyways back to bowling-it was kinda neat to look around these 20 or so people who showed up and think about my different histories with each of them. a few of them i didn't know hardly at all, but quite a few i have known for at least 2 years, and some of them for 10 years or more. they may not be all people that i would naturally migrate towards, but i like that i have these people in my life that i have shared so much of my life with.

capital here i come

so, i have been off work since the middle of december. the company i work for, capital irrigation, is seasonal in nature, and so my expertise are not required as urgently in the winter as in the summer, so i get the entire winter to rest, relax and enjoy. it has been great. and i think the best part is that i am starting to be ready to go back to work. in the weeks before i started my leave in december, i was restless to be done for a while. i was tired, and i just needed a break. and now i feel like i have had one. i think it'll be a bit of a transition for me to get back into the rythm of scheduled days, and work and getting up earlier, and going to bed earlier, ect. but i am excited to get back into it. it really helps that i love my job a lot, and i like who i work for and with. i am also excited because when i go back to work it signals that spring and summer are on their way in and winter is on it's way out. and if my recent trip to hawaii did anything for me, it was to give me a reminder of warm weather and how glorious it really is. i can't wait.
