SATURDAY STUCK IN A CUBE October 31, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — Adam @ 10:04 am

HELLO ALL! TODAY IS SATURDAY AND IT IS 5:57 AM AND I AM IN MY CUBE HERE AT WOW!.  FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T KNOW WOW! IS WHERE I WORK. I SELL INTERNET, CABLE AND PHONE. SO IF YOU LIVE IN CHICAGO, MI, OH, OR IL, I CAN GIVE YOU A GREAT DEAL. IT HAS BEEN A ROUGH WEEK FIGHTING SNOW LEAVING FOR WORK AT 4AM, I STILL HAVE THE AFTER AFFECTS OF THE SWINE FLU (A COUGH) THAT IS JUST ANNOYING NOW. MAN I HAVENT POSTED IN FOREVER AND ALL I CAN DO IS WHINE. MY BAD. HERE ARE SOME GOOD THINGS.

MY SCHEDULE ALLOWS ME TO BE A BIT MORE FLEXIBLE  BECAUSE I GET OFF AT 1:30PM EVERYDAY, THAT I LIKE. I ALSO ENJOY MY DAYS OFF. SUNDAY AND MONDAY IT MAKES THE WEEKENDS SEEM TO LAST LONGER, AND MONDAY IS EASIER TO JUST BE WITH THE FAM. I AM LEADING WORSHIP MORE FREQUENTLY NOW, SO THAT IS GOOD. IT DOES COME WITH SOME CHALLENGES  THOUGH.

LATELY I HAVE BEEN CONTEMPLATING DROPPING MY CELL PHONE. IT IS SO DANG EXPENSIVE AND I DONT LIKE BEING SO DEPENDENT  ON IT. PLUS I RARELY USE IT. IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE ONLY KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH FACE BOOK OR MYSPACE THESE DAYS AND THE ART OF CONVERSATION IS DWINDLING. WELL I BETTER GET BACK TO WORK BEFORE THE PHONE STARTS RINGING OFF THE HOOK. PEACE OUT.

This morning we went to breakfast at a diner in Colorado Springs. The temperature was 24 degrees. Andy and Nicole had never been in such cold weather. We saw about a dozen accidents on the way down. They were shocked. That little hat in the middle is Nehemiah.

Not Even Mid-September September 11, 2009

Filed under: Daily Life, Travel and Trips — Arissa @ 11:47 pm

     I feel like September should be almost over considering how much we have done this month.  It is always a busy month for us.  Since Adam has been back at work my days are obviously different.  On one hand I get more laundry done on the other, I miss him!   It is hard for me to get out of the house with a baby in between nap times and feedings.  I miss having someone around to hang out with, help me at any given crisis and laugh with at all the silly happenings around here.  I am thankful that he found a job and it has been good for us to have a chance to miss one another.  My dad just returned from a long trip to Vermont.  He drove out there to work on his house.  We are so glad he is home finally.            

     I joined a bible study called Community Bible Study.  It is a national study that occurs once week.  Our particular city is studying Revelation.  I am really excited about this study because I have never done an in depth study on this book of the bible.  Also because of this, “Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it because the time is near.” ~Revelation 1:3 Isn’t that exciting?  I am blessed by reading those words, I pray that I take it to heart and Jesus is coming back!!   I have also learned several other things

  • John wrote the letters to seven churches in Asia which is modern day western Turkey
  • The complete title of the book is “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”
  • It is a fitting end to the bible as it brings man back to paradise from which he was driven in the first book of the bible, Genesis

And so much more, that would be too much to type.  Here are a few pictures of the Pacheco world in September thus far.  CLICK THE PICTURE BELOW TO SEE MORE PICTURES.

the end of a season September 6, 2009

Filed under: Daily Life — Adam @ 1:30 am

I have been out of work now for about three months. It has been a unique season in our lives, and I have tried to take full advantage of every minute . How many times in life do you get to take a break from the work world for 3 months?  I have gotten to be home with my beautiful wife and son. I have been home for a third of Nehemiah’s life and it has been amazing. I have seen him grow so much and I believe that Arissa and I have grown in this time as well.

I know I should be rejoicing at the fact that I have found a job, but in a lot of ways it feels like the last few days of summer, when you are excited about the coming year but at the same time want the summer to live on. The job I have found is a blessing. I will be working for WOW a cable and Internet company in the Midwest. I will be taking in bound sales calls. The office is on the North end of Colorado Springs which is about a 30 minute drive from our house, that’s without the snow and traffic. I start on Tuesday.

The family is doing great. September is a pretty busy time for us since there are so many birthdays. On Thursday we spent the night in San Isabel to celebrate my mom’s b-day. Wednesday we are hanging with Gabe in Springs for his and Saturday is Arissa’s.

I feel like I am just blabbering on about myself and not sharing anything of substance. I have found it hard to write on the blog lately. I sit down to do it but nothing comes out. It is so easy to be surface as a person. You know the usual only tell the good things and hide the bad. Well to be honest life isn’t always easy for our family. Marriage is a lot of work, especially with a kid. We have found it difficult at times to adjust to another little person in the house. He requires so much focus and attention that it is hard to do everything and make time for each other. Another thing that has proved to be a hard adjustment for us is getting used to living near family. It is so great but since we have been married it has been just the two of us so we are learning how to balance our time with family and friends.

Now it seems as if  I am complaining about life. Trust me I am not. I just desire to be vulnerable with people and show not only the blessings in life but also the struggles. I think that there are things like marriage, family, and friendships that are worth fighting for. I think anything of value causes you to sacrifice of yourself. That is one of the lessons that God is teaching me. To follow Him will cost me everything. I hope in some way this random post made sense to someone, also I hope that God would stir up your heart and cause you to strive for the most important thing in life, Him.
