Middle of November?

As expected, October went by very fast, and the next thing I knew it was the middle of November!  People are asking me what I want for my birthday, and I am finally just getting a little breather from the activities of October and early November.  Wow!

Everyone wants to know how my new job is going so here is my synopsis thus far:  I like working for the casino, and I like my new job.  I am making enough right now to make it worthwhile.  I think the restaurant has a lot of potential, but a few things need to get straightened out before we will really get on a roll.  It seems the kitchen management, the restaurant management, and the customers all have a different idea of what the restaurant is meant to be.  This is creating quite a mix up and a lot of confusion.  I can only hope that we can at least get the kitchen and restaurant managers on the same page.  That would help tremendously.  Once that happens, then this job will really be great.  The hours are different...most of the time I leave for work around 3pm and get home anywhere from midnight to 2am.  I'm almost finished adjusting to the new schedule.  Becca is still working on that aspect.

It was great having some of my family here in October.  It was very nice to see them and spend some quality time with them.  It makes me sad that I will be unable to see them this holiday season.

Becca and I have both decided to go on mission trips again next year.  Becca is going to go to Ghana again, and I will return to Guatemala.  This time the trips coincide, so no one will be left at home by themselves.  I think that will work better for us.  However, that makes the trips a little more of a financial burden.  However, we have always had great supporters, and the Lord always takes care of His own.  We should be sending out letters to notify everyone once we have finished putting them together.
