update!
Hey all,
Just wanted to update on what's been going on in our world. Shawn has gotten a job at Starbucks- Panther Creek and is a few weeks away from becoming a shift manager. He seems to really enjoy it, and it is a way for him to have some income while we continue to job search. I got a job at Carlton Woods Country Club here in The Woodlands as a summer camp counselor, after two weeks, the director of the camp quit, and so they asked me to step up and take on the position. It was totally a God thing. I really enjoy it, the kids make me laugh all day and it's a rewarding job. I also got re-hired over at Rockfish Seafood Grill, where I used to work. So I am working part-time over there and will work there full-time after camp is over.
July 4th we went out on the boat to Lake Conroe, it was a lot of fun. We brought sandwhich stuff and made our own food out on the water. Stephanie tried to water ski but didn't do so hot haha. And me and Shawn both tried to do this board thing but we couldn't figure it out. Then, when it got dark we got to watch the fireworks show from the middle of the lake. It was a fun day.
The 9th was Shawn's 29th birthday! We went to a really fancy restaurant downtown Houston called Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It was really fun to get all dressed up and go out. Shawn's mother, my mom and I all contributed money and we were able to get Shawn the new iPhone. The catch was, it didn't come out until the 11th, two days later. So on the 11th Shawn waited 3 or 4 hours in line at the mall to get his phone. He absolutely loves it and can't seem to stay off the thing. I get jealous and call his iPhone "the other woman" haha. I also bought him an ipod sterio that looks like an old turntable and a laptop kit.
Wedding plans are in full swing. Tomorrow, me, my sister, my mom, Shawn and my cousin Devon are going to the bridal extravaganza in Houston. It's a really fun event with tons of vendors for wedding day stuff. We are mostly just going to get some neat ideas. I'm really excited.
Here are some pictures:

EA
One of the things that I internalized at EA is that my peace is directly proportional to my communion or my relationship with God. When I start to get off kilter the first thing I look at is how much time I am spending with God each day. Most of the time it is clear that I have cut down on my one on one time with God. One of the hardest things about leaving an environment like EA is that you have to become self-disciplined and make time each day to spend with God. Another lesson that I have taken to heart from EA is the message of dying to self. It basically explains to me how to live a life as a Christian. It’s not about what I want anymore. It’s about others, it’s about what I can do for God and how I can expand His kingdom here on earth. The root of addiction is selfishness. Selfishness can creep in subtlety and it is extremely important for me to think less of myself and more of others. To walk through each day with a prayerful attitude is one way to keep myself in check. The Word tells us that He is always with us. If I become aware of that and acknowledge God in everything I do then I stay in communion with him throughout my day. Another important lesson that I learned at EA was to keep a humble and grateful attitude. This is another way to guard against selfishness. If I stay humble and grateful it is very hard to be angry, irritated, restless, selfish, arrogant, prideful, or full of self pity. Those two attitudes keep me centered and help me keep my eyes upon the cross.
Anyways, just a post about EA. Maybe I'm just writing to remind myself the valuable lessons I took from EA.
God Bless,
Shawn

All The Songs From Fraggle Rock
For a season by season list of all the Fraggle Rock songs click here.
Many of you may know about the 3 CD set of the original albums is now available, For the "Jim Henson Presents Fraggle Rock" CD, they used the Columbia version of the album rather than the Muppet Music version. That means you don't get the song "Dum Son Of A Gun" which Columbia cut off of the re-issue. I know it is posted in the Season 1 section, but here is a better quality version thanks to Dave of KermiClown Videos. This is taped off of the DVD.
I have FINALLY found the Album Version of "Dum Of A Son Of A Gun". Thanks to the Sesame Streem website. I will keep up Dave's DVD recording of this song in case anybody wants it.
