Awesome update Wendy. I hope all is going well for you and your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Our family is going through somthing similary with my Great Grandmother who is in hospice.

Jordan - had a story I know you'll enjoy. Saturday I was getting the car worked on and the mechanic's shop happeend to share a parking lot with a Korean restaurant. While I was waiting, I headed over and grabbed some chow. (Bulgogi, Yakimondu and of course rice & Khim Chee.) It was fantastic. But it came at a price. The morning after gas could have derailed a train. So I did what any reasonable fellow would do...ate the leftovers for dinner Sunday night. Which explains why there were a dozen cadles burning in our house. Ahhh...it's the simple things in life that really bring a sense of joy.

Yes, it's quite comforting that we know it's not goodbye forever, but just "see you later"... to that end, today Dylan wanted to ask Jesus into his heart so he could be sure to get to heaven to see Grandpa David again. So we prayed and he made the big decision! Now he tells people that his spirit will be able to see Grandpa's spirit when they get to heaven. It was a good day.

That's awesome Wendy! I'm getting choked-up.

That's awful GB! I'm getting choked-up. (Not to make light of my response to Wendy, I really was getting choked-up.)

Bulgogi, Yakimondu, rice, and Kim Chee is one of my favorite meals. I even attempted making bulgogi one time when Judy was out of town. It turned out "okay", but not as good as from a Korean restaurant. I'd be getting oil changes like every 1,000 miles if there was a Korean place next to my mechanic's shop.

The time's I've tried to recreate it, the results were more more of a Mongolian Beef. From what I hear, the key is in the Korean pear juice.

I'v been away for a bit and then things were a bit busy, so I was a bit behind.

Wendy, Derek and Jordan, I just wanted to tell you that I was sorry to hear the news. It sounds as though you have an extremely strong support system, on and off the Dis. I'll keep you and your families in my thoughts.

Hey Jordy!

It occured to me a couple days ago that I hadn't seen your TR pop up in my "subscribed to" list in a while....then it occured to me that you probably reached your page limit. So I just found this new thread and I read all of the updates but I haven't read the convo in between.

First, I don't think ANYONE here objects to you taking time for YOU. One thing is always evident in your TRs and that is that you do a lot for others and hardly ever have time for you. A lot of times I forget I'm supposed to be reading a TRIP REPORT and it feels more like a blog about your life! And that is not meant to be an insult, I promise! It's funny, because when you talk about your DIS meets, you always say that you hug like you have known each other forever.... but even I, who has seemingly moved to lurkdom recently, feel like I have known you forever. Everytime you meet up with a DISer that you have never met before, but you hug like you've always known each other, it's because you feel comfortable. It's like God is saying "don't worry, this is family." I hope all of this makes sense... God and I continue to have our differences, but we get along for the most part....I just had to learn how to really listen to Him.

Oh, and keep in mind that it took you almost (if not more than??) a year to write your last TR....you still have PLENTY of time!

Next, I am VERY sorry to hear about the loss of Wendy's father. After what we went through with Lumar's mom, I am happy that his illness did not drag on forever. Lumar's mom was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer over the summer of 2008 and she didn't pass until November 2009. It was a long, hard, painful stuggle for all of us who were just standing by....I can't imagine what it was like for her. I am happy that she, and Wendy's dad, are finally at peace.

On a side note... at the number of people at the funeral. That is all I have to say about that!

Third, why is Dylan just so dang cute! I LOVE those pics of him waiting to get on Soarin'! I want to hug him to pieces!

As for your job sitch....good luck and do what feels right! If going back to the church doesn't feel right in your heart, than don't do it, no matter how guilty you think you feel about it! Restaurant management sounds good...although cleaning sounds WAY better! I also LOVE to clean and making your own schedule just can't be beat!

I think that's it for now...I have 24 minutes of work left and I'm debating on using it to start my PTR for this October.... I've already cancelled one ADR and made 2 new ones today....

First - So sorry Wendy for your Father's passing. God be with your family during this tough time.

Second - Jordan, I was just putting bits and pieces together of the past couple of weeks. I'm not quite sure what you mean by your old ways, but I know in my heart you will get back on track. Good people always find their way.

Third - A Big shout out to Erin!!!! Because of kids like you, kids like my daughter Nova can have hair on their heads!

Nova has a disease called alopecia. It stops her hair from growing, hair club for men gives Nova very high quality wigs to wear made from human hair.

[lilpapsgirl]

Jordan, I am so sorry to hear about your Uncle, Wendy's dad. I know it has got to be hard going through all the stuff you have been going through and then to lose a loved one who you were very close with is almost unbearable. My prayers to you and the gang. I hope things start to get better so that you can continue with the healing process from all of this. hugs to you and your family.

 

[glennbo123]

Miss you bro'!!! I pray that things are getting better for you.

 

[vamassey1]

Jordan, I know you're out there somewhere. I've seen you on everyone else's reports.

I missed you!

 

[eliz991]

I've been off the Dis for a while (went to Vegas, came back, got a nasty virus, had 85 pounds of work to do....) but today I was sitting here thinking, "you know, Mexican food sounds good for dinner tonight" and my next thought was "I should pop over and see how Jordan's doing."

To you, Wendy, and Derek, I am sorry to hear about Rev. Dave and send my condolences to your family. It sounds like he was a wonderful, well-loved guy.

 

[Simba22]

miss you jordy hope you're doing well

 

[carissanboys]

Just a quick stop by to say I'm so sorry to hear about Wendy's dad. My thoughts are with you all.

Continued strength sent your way, J as you work through everything.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. I actually wanted Chuy's but everyone wanted to get home instead of eating out one more time.

Weeeee're back!!
