It's been too long since I've posted something. Danielle is still working with Jill. Things are going pretty well although she feels frustrating at times. I haven't gotten fired from my job either, so that's good. Actually, we recently purchased two new workstations and two new digital cameras. We also purchased a DVD duplicator/printer, camera bags, mics, and lots of other stuff. I'll be using this to train people and produce more videos. I am nervous about getting the process started, though. I need to get my volunteer resources more organized so I know who I have available and when. I also need to know what they know so I can train them appropriatley.
It looks like they will be moving our offices to the new building sometime in October. Either that or they'll find some office space close by the church. That will be exciting stuff. The next few weeks or so I need to focus on finishing a video for the men's ministry and focus on preparing for this new equipment and these new people. I know how to work with interns and train, but working with volunteers will be alot different.
Clay came to visit us Monday and Tuesday. He had a layover from his flight to Florida from California so he had his travel person extend the layover. We had a great time. We went to the gym, got some food and a bunch of fun stuff. It was great to see Clay and to hear that he's doing well.
Danielle and I are doing really really well. I feel like I'm doing a good job of not working late and she's doing a great job of supporting me. At Action House I would work really long days, but I can't afford to do that anymore now that I'm married. I'm totally ok with that because I'd rather be spending time with her, anyway. We have developed some good friendships with people in Houston, too. We're going to have dinner with Jennifer and her fiance Justin tonight. We've started hanging out with them in Friday nights now. We also see Jon alot. We hang out with him about every week or every other week. He's been kind of busy latley but I know we'll hang with him soon.
Work is going pretty well. I produced seven videos for the youth group during this month. Seven videos! It's been crazy. Things will slow down for me, though. I have to make them slow down. I have to focus on other aspects of the Media department besides producing videos for the youth group. It doesn't help that they are going to start a weekend service as well now. That means they will have services on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. When we have the new computers and stuff I totally plan on training people to produce videos for youth at least twice a month. We'll pump more out as more people and equipment become available.
Danielle and I have joined 24 hours fitness gyms. We started last week and we're doing really well. We work out Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. When we signed up I asked to work with a personal trainer since I don't know what I'm doing. After our first sessions my arms hurt for two days. It was nuts. I know that I have to start where I am and I'll get better as time goes on. I'm eating a 1,600 calorie diet and doing great at it. I really am glad that I'm able to adapt so easily to things without too much fuss.
That's about it for now.
