Truck is full

6.30.2007 — 7 Comments

Amazingly we’re actually relaxing right now. Yup. The truck is packed, the house is empty and clean, our deposit has been returned, and we’re relaxing in the Sweeny home. Ella’s napping, supper is nearly finished, and I’m about to pass out.

The 26-foot truck is slam-full. It’s a blast to drive, but very intimidating, too.

Big day tomorrow. My message is entitled, “Hear God.”

I am absolutely exhausted. This was a big day. We had incredible help!

Momma Sweeny left after 10 last night after spending quite a few hours helping us “finish up”.

We still haven’t quite finished up, but before the wireless router goes in a box, I wanted to update the world.

Today will be quite historic. In just 50-minutes I will be heading to Penske to pick up a 26-footer and a tow-behind car-dollie. At 9AM, a motley crew will be arriving at our place to help us load all of our belongings into said truck. They will be disappointed when they realize that not everything is ready to be put on a truck…

Mom Garrett and Jess’ sister, Jaymie arrive in around 9, too, to spend a day helping keep this place sane. We will get the packing done. We will get the house-cleaning done. We will get settled in our 2-night home-away-from-home thanks to the Gastons. I will preach in both services tomorrow. We will laugh and cry at tomorrow night’s “toast ‘n roast” service. We will wake up refreshed Monday morning and head to Mukwonago with our stuff and unpack it with our new church family.

Moving is quite the experience.

I’m tired of it, already.

movie.jpgAbsolutely worth the crazy $7.50 ticket price!

Saw this with 6 of my closest friends and we all cheered nearly the entire way through! We loved sitting on the back row of the theater to take this one in.

I’ll admit that the action-intensity DID dwindle about 3/4 of the way into the movie and never really topped a certain cop-car vs. helicopter scene, BUT – the entire movie reeked of action-goodness with some over-the-top sequences and what-not.

The “yippe-ki-yay” moment was a real “heart stopper”.

All of that said, this is NOT a family movie! Even with a PG-13 rating, the film misused EVERY possible name of the LORD. Definitely violent.

Grab a few buddies, sit in the back row of the theater and enjoy Die Hard 4.0 for exactly what it is – a testosterone boost.

Oh, and another thing – Bruce and Justin were a bit odd working side-by-side, but the script was perfect for both of them!

Dearest Comcast –
Please disregard my previous letter, unless you happened to have read it and after reading it decided to turn things back on for us.

Thanks for the cable and Internet that “magically” work again.

Sincerely yours,
