New picture!

Since I don't have a scanner, this is actually a picture of the picture hence the glare from my flash at the bottom, but you get the idea. This is a picture from an assignment at school. It is by far one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken simply because it was fun to do and all of the detail it has. We had to shoot it with one of the old fashion 4x5 cameras and for those of you who don't know what those are they look like this.

They are big and bulky but they are really awesome because you can move almost every part of it to take pictures at all sorts of angles and views. If it weren't for the fact that it is film and I hate film, I'd get one.

That's all for now. More soon!

Our Family

So I was bored and wanted to take pictures but didn't know what to photograph. Then I decided to take pictures of the only thing around, our children. Cyrus and Ozzy cooperated quite well, the cats.....not so much but I did the best I could. So here is our (not quite so) little family.


This is Cyrus, the newest edition to the family. We adopted him from the humane society a little over amonth ago. He is a boxer mix and a year and a half old. He's a big baby and sometimes a trouble (and mess) maker but I still love him. Just look at those big puppy dog eyes, how could you not love him?

This is Ozzy. He was originally my mom and dad's dog but they had to move in with my grandpa who already had a dog who wouldn't get along with Ozzy. My brother took him for a couple of months but he didn't do very well over there so that's how he ended up with us. He is a chihuahua mix and very temperamental. He is about 7 years old. Though he has an attitude bigger than he is, I love him too.

Shadow is about 6. We got him from Ben's sister Trin because as she and her husband Gabe were going on their 4th child, he made her get rid of him. I don't think he is all right in the head but he is very affectionate. Even though he is not all there, I love him.

Then there is Chester. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be him. I found him at Ben's mom's house outside when he was just a kitten. He is now about 2 and my little buddy. He is somewhat shy but very loving and sweet. What can I say....I love him.

There, now you have all met the animals who are basically our children and will comtinue to be for a very very long time.

New Look!

Yeah you probably already noticed that I changed my blog. I was bored with how it was. Maybe this will prompt me to blog more (I doubt it). But hey, ya never know. I really am going to try to get more pictures on here just as soon as I start taking more.

I've been pretty busy with work and school (not to mention I was sick for about a week) but I know I will have more to post shortly, just hang in there. Anywho, I must be off now to finish the dreaded homework.

Good night!

Really Random Pictures

I actually meant to post the one of Chester and the one of Colter like umm....2 months ago around Christmas but got side tracked. The other one I took the other day at the local cemetery.

New Email

I have changed my email address to BJBrock@yahoo.com. It is both mine and Ben's just to let you know. So if you will please now send anything to this address it is much appreciated.

I don't ask for much

but I am really desperate. I called Mary (the manager at Subway) and asked for a few days to think this whole thing over. I want to be sure this is what I want to do so I told her and she was very understanding. I was supposed to work tomorrow but I asked if I could just have a couple more days to be absolutely sure because to be honest, I have NO IDEA what I am supposed to do. I need a job and Subway is a sure bet but I don't wanna go back just because I can and in a couple of weeks or even months have another job come along and leave again. I don't wanna to that to Mary.

So I am asking for prayer. For guidance from God to let me know what He wants. I know I may not me thrilled with going back to Subway, but if it is what He wants, I'll do it. I have had a couple of other job offers so I'm going to check into them and see what happens.

On another note, Ben and I have been asked to help out with something that will use both our time and our ministy. I won't bore you with the details but we also need guidance from God here. When we were asked, it just kind of hit us and we think we know what we need to do but we want to be sure it's what God wants.

So next time you are talking to God it would be much appreciated if you would ask Him what the heck he wants Ben and Jada to do with their lives.

Father God, thank you for the life you have given us. I pray that you would give us the stength to do what you are calling us to do and Your knowledge to help guide us. I know you will provide. I love you.

Amen

So I was completely wrong

about this bank job being awesome. Don't get me wrong, it was great...at first. Then the branch manager came along. It really makes me angry that one person had to go ruin it for everyone. If you don't know what I'm talking about, basically, she is the devil. Actually just imagine Professor Umbridge from The fifth Harry Potter and you have her to the T. She is horribly mean and condecending. Anyway I thought it over and over about a million times and I had decided (after she yelled at me one last time today) that I wasn't gonna take it anymore.

I quit.

I just clocked out at the end of the night and sent her an email saying I would not be back.

If that sounds rude, it's nothing compared to what all she has done/said to me over the past 5 months.

If you are saying to yourself "What the heck is she going to do now?!" The answer is I'm going back to Subway. Yes that's what I said. Subway. I may not have liked it much more but at least my boss didn't yell at me and treat me like a child. I know I won't be there for the rest of my life but I am going back as Assistant Manager and might even be making more than I did before I left. I am going to talk with my manager tomorrow afternoon to get it all sorted out but she is beyond glad to have me back.

I never in a million years thought I'd say it but I am excited about going back. It is more relaxed and hopefully less stressful.

Anyway some of you may think this is a horrible idea but I really don't care. I know this is what I need right now.

Wish me luck!
