How I've Spent my time

     Hey everyone! Since the last blog things have been moving along. I had the Jeep looked at and it turns out that it is going to take about $4,000 to get it back up and running. Ugh!!! I don't exactly have that kinda of money laying around these days so I have had to make a decision on the Jeep. My choices are to save up the money and fix it, but in the mean time I will have to rely on my motorcycle and when it rains Heather's Celica; or I can trade the Jeep in for a new car. I think I have decided to just hold on to the Jeep for now and see if we are able to get a loan for a new house first.
     In December I am planning on doing what I can to further Heather and I into a new home and out of her parents house. The first thing I have going is to go to some sort of mortgage workshop to allow me to qualify for state and local governmental financial help. I am doing this because the city of Vista is helping new home buyers purchase a new home. They are loaning $60,000 as a silent down payment toward a townhouse or single family house so one of their prerequisites is to attend a mortgage workshop. Next, I need to find out how much mortgage I can get. I am hoping my cousin Jory will be able to help me on this one. Then I will need to find a home. Finally, move in to said home.  :)
     Work has still been really busy. I think I am averaging around 50 hours a week and more when I work on the weekends. It is a bit tiring leaving for work early and not coming back home 'till just in time to go to bed. The extra money has given us a little breathing room this month, which is nice. I don't mind it so much as we are able to have a decent social life with the extra income. We have gone out to dinner with friends almost every weekend and been able to buy real presents for family and friends this year. I know the extra money won't last but it is nice to be able to relax on the penny pinching for a bit.
     Today I finally uploaded a video to you tube. I learned how to make a light saber using Final Cut Express. Check out my video here. Let me know what you think comment, rate and or subscribe, please! I really would like to know what ya'll think of it and of all my blogs. 
     Also today I went and made food packages for the children in Haiti with my church Crossweave. It was a blast! The first time I have ever been involved in a large non profit event. We were there for an hour. I teamed up with Naila, Berry, their two boys and Sean. I don't know how much food we packed but it did seem like a lot! I ran into a friend and his daughter and also ran into a patient from work. I don't remember her name but she commented that I look like Ewen McGreggor with my motorcycle jacket on and beard. I thought that was cool. 
     Anyway it is getting really late now about 9:45 and I needed to be asleep 45 minutes ago so I am going to end here. Have a wonder full week every one and hopefully I will have another blog up in a few days or less.

Blog you later,
