So basically if your reading this, you are very bored with nothing to do. Well, the feeling is mutual...ok well not really. I have just been thinking, thats all. I dont know if anybody will ever read this, or care about what I write, and I really dont care, Im just gonna put this on paper....wait I mean megapixel. So, here it goes.It all started before this summer, well it actually started the end of last summer. Basically leaving BMC in 2007 wasnt a very hard thing to do. I didnt get attached to anybody, and nobody me. I was very much on my own. The last day in Houston, all the staff wanted me to come back. I was nodding my head "yes" but i had no idea what I would be doing "next" summer. I really didnt think I would come back. After all, I needed to go to school, and school costs money, and I had never had a job, so I needed one to get money, so i can go to school. Yah, so anyways, I really didnt think that I would come back in 2008. And summer 2007 didnt help the "want" of coming back. Well, I got home and for the fall semester nobody would hire me. Finally on my birthday Dec 4, I was hired by a company that almost all my brothers had worked for before. But anyways, I was hired despite the fact that I would only be there for a few months, or until summer. In Dec, I wasnt sure what I would be doing in the summer, but I did know that I would be doing something. So, at my work, they have a lot of trouble finding people who have a servants attitude and mind set. They hire people who dont quite know what it means to go "all out" and get the job done. Well, then i came along, and im not trying to bragg, but its what im told all the time, is that Im one of the best people who does what I do. I have been told that I have set the bar for future clerks that do what I do. To tell you the truth, Im not sure why, I just do what I am trained to do, and obviously everybody thinks its so cool. I guess nobody does what they are trained to do....dang...that stinks. Well so anyways, the time for me to pick, what I wanted to do for the summer....oh wait, I mean what God wanted me to do. Well, I really felt like He wanted me to go back to Houston. So I applied and got accepted. This is in spring. So I brake the news to my emplorer that I WOULD be leaving for the summer. Well, nobody wanted me to go, but I had to. Because I had only been at the job 6 months, I could not get a "Leave of Absense" I had to "resign". So the day came, I "quit". June 1st rolls around, that means its time to leave Cali and head for H-Town. So, I fly out of Sac at 6pm. I fly to Pheonix and change plains...by the way, I HATE the Pheonix terminal. From there I fly aaaalllllllll ttttthhhheeee wwaaaayyyyy tttttoooo Atlanta......yah.....so then I have to leave the terminal in Atlanta and go to another one, dang that really sucked....did I tell you that I hate going through "security". So then from Atlanta I flew to Houston.....yah, I know, that was crazy. I finally arrived in Houston 8:45am June 2nd. So it took me 13 hours to fly to a place that is supposed to take you 5. Well, I got to Houston, my home away from home. Ok, so lets get one thing straight....this summer was the most awsomest summer that I have ever had in my whole entire life. And no, it was not because there were 14 girls and just one other fellow, it was because there were 15 indiviuals who (as some have put it) all took a chip from my heart. Its because I was blessed with 15 new siblings who were non-existant before the summer. (I love you guys). It was also the best summer of my life because I spent 2 hours of every day with the koolest most awsomest kids that I have ever met. Kids like Lyssette, Jose, Brenda, Gyssel, CHristian, little Antonio, and even the bigger kids like the 2 Jesus's, and all the teens. And then there was our Bible study class of 4-5 year olds. Even though the knew no English, and i could barely speak their type of Spanish, they were the cutest kids Ive ever seen. Now back here at home every time I see a little hispanic kid, I start missing my kids even more. I loved them to death. Ok, where was I going with this.....hm....Im not sure. Ok...so...I loved my kids....well, yah, so I spent 2 months with my Critters and my Kids Club kids. Then there was Rock Band, man that thing was fun. We made our own Critter Band, dang I really liked the dude I made. He was definitely the most (as MK would say) "precious" character. Haha, then there was Ivans...now that guy is funny. If ever you need a laugh...he can randomly crack you up. I remember him asking if the airport ladies eyes were fake!!!! That was hilarious....oh then at the Cold Stone he asked the guy what he was!! IVAN!!! Then there were his and my movie dates. Watching Titanic and some other movie that both of us decided would not keep us awake...thats right it was Jumanji....I think we stopped at the part where the monkeys are drving away in the cop car...that movie is boring. Lets see, Us guys had 10 beds in our room, we each had a shower, and we had 3 toilets to share, and we each had a sink....Ivans was always so hairy from when he shaved!! Oh, then on Fridays when we were supposed to be cleaning, that guy would text and clean up his place for so Looonngg. And after that the only thing he did was mop the bathroom, and that was after I had vaccumed the room, cleaned my spot, cleaned the toilets, the sinks, swept the bathroom floor, and sometimes the showers, cleaned the sinks and taken our the trash. Then on the last Friday he didnt do diddly squat. But I dont blame him, I really didnt want to waste time cleaning when I would much rather be spending our last precious hours with eachother. Gosh, so much happened this summer, It would take me forever to type is all down. And its like 1 in the morning right now....California time. So.....lots more happened, um.....oh wait, the last few weeks I scared the girls in the stair case, ha ha ah that was so funny, I think I scared Kathleen the most, but I think.....dang who was it....it might have been Cassie who i got really bad. I dont quite remember. Gosh then World Changers came, that is a story in and of itself. Basically I really missed everyone in Houston, and I have to reroof a house that had 5 layers of shingles plus a layer of wooden shades, that is like wooden shingles. And we had to do this in 100 degree heat. Oh by the way for World Changers I had to fly to Dallas for the week. THen I flew back to Houston. Well, the Friday we left, was the saddest and most deppressing day of my life. I didnt know I had that many tears inside of me. All but 3 were dropped off at the same airport because we all left within a few hours of eachother. So as a group would leave we would hug and cry. Ivan was the second to leave after Ashley, so that meant I was the only guy here with a bunch of girls, and we were walking up and down the terminal, I noticed quite a few of the SAME people staring at us each time we would walk by, and each time our faces were redder and redder with tears. ha ha, its funny right now, but man it was gut wrenching. Well, I flew to Dallas with 3 other critters, Faith, Ashley and Caroline. They just had connections, but my brother was getting married that weekend, his rehearsal dinner was that night. So then wedding came and went. It was actually a pretty kool time. I was in the wedding party, and the Bridesmaid that I escorted down the aisle actaully worked at the Christian Camp that we went to at the beggining of the summer, Trinity Pines. SHe actaully saw us. Her boyfriends dad is actaully the dude in charge of the camp. It was awsome meeting her. So then my family drove home from Texas back to Cali. I had a few days of rest, i applied for my old job, and in 2 hours my boss called me up asking when I could start. The next day I drove up to WA state with my dad and 2 of my brothers to spend the weekend working around the property that my oldest brother and his wife live on. Then I came home and started working. School starts next week, Im going to be trained as a Checker next week. My 2 best buds are now working with me. So we are the Tres Amigos.So, that is what has happened.This has been the best summer of my life, and its because of everysingle person that I met that impacted me in some way, whether big or small. Oh wait I have also been at the fair, both times I was doing security as a Sheriff Cadet, I have been at the Gibson gate both times. So Im glad that I have been able to see some of yall that I havent seen in forever. And now today is sunday (since its 1 in the morning) so I will be talkjing about my summer in my church, and getting to see lots of people.Ok, time for bed. I really miss all my new siblings. Life is not complete away from yall. For everyone that I havent seen in forever, I hope to see you soon.So I guess you have made it to the end of the "note". This note was not written to make sense. It is just a bunch of thoughts and memories jumbled together with a little order. So if you dont get what im talking about...then your in good company. Ok, thats all for my random memories and such.Yours Truly, Joey The Bear
