6:30 pm	So after 2 1/2 weeks of bathroom reading i finished HP: Deathy Hallows last night. the two major twists/plot points at the end of the book were obvious to me. I figured them out when i finished reading Half-Blood Prince. I doubted myself when they didn't seem to be the case until the last 70 pages, but i was right in the end. all i can say is I was not surprised by the ending, but i was (mostly) happy with it.

10:26 am	busy couple of weeks (long) Wow where to start? I guess we go in chronological order. June 26-29, 2007: Spirit's Call drives up to Ashville, NC to record is Second CD with horizon Records/Crossroads Music. We recorded 10 songs, 7 of which are orginal (meaning noone has ever recorded them before, not that we wtrote them.) It was long stressful, and hard on the voice. our goal was actually 11 songs but as the clocked rolled on on friday we ended up cutting one. The finished project will be in our hands July 18th, and copies will be done by mid august. Starting in September we will begin doijng our new cd in concert. We are excited and anxious. We actually had an offer to sing for the USO/DOD tour for the next year. But it would have meant long periods of time (weeks at a time as oppsoed to the few days here and there we do now. None of us were ready for that kind of step yet. I would have been making better money than i am now, but i would have seen my family alot less. anyway the recording session went great. June 30: I return home and begin moving. After 5 months of unemployement and 7 months of living with my in laws we are back in our own home. A HOUSE even. Not an apartment. Its located in New Friarsgate 3 bedrooms (parents, boys, girls) And perfect for us right now... Also the rent is a steal at 800 a month, which is 200 less tha any other three bedroom in friarsgate. It helps to have connections for those who care Jeff and Stacy Jordan 107 Kip Court Irmo SC 29063 803-781-4195 July 4th, 2007: unpacked the last box. July 6-8, 2007: The family and I go on a road trip with Spirits call to Wise, VA (western VA) We sing in a cool camp like a youth camp setting out in the woods, and then at a church sunday morning. Its crazy fun weekend filled with swimming zip lines, blobs, rickety old water slides, and a high ropes course. I didn't get to do the paintball, but I think that was for the best most of the people who did looked pretty hurt afterward. I as well as the rest of the family did however get very burnt. All inj all its be a busy but fun two weeks. I finally home for a few weeks with no Spirits Call traveling (more than two hours away) till september. the well be in Bristol, and back in Richmond in October. OUr family is going to visit stacy's side of the family in Knoxville in the middle of august. So for now I'm at home typing on my own personal interent connection (i haven't had one except at work since november, and only started working in april) and relaxing....well i'm pgetting the children to sleep, as relaxing as you can get doing that. Now that i'm done writing my book....I'll sign off. If you made it to the end of the post then congratulations you win....a smile... :) Current Mood: crazy (Comment on this)

7:47 pm	Work work is going well. I'm learing alot and really enjoying the challange. The job combines the the selling i loved at SGH with the increased money i wanted and needed anyway. Over my 4 and a half months of unemployement I constantly prayed that God give me the job he wants me to have. I knew there was a purpose for the long period out of work but danged if i knew what it was at the time. Stacy told me the other day that she wouldn't have known what to do during her [rough] pregnancy had i been working at SGH. My loosing that job came at the perfect time for me to be a help to her with during the hard months, and gave me some much needed family time. I hadn't spent more than 5 hours at a time alone with my kids in months before this. So it was a blessing in disguise. And now I have a better job [so long as the customers keep coming in, otherwise i'm gonna have to learn how to live on $700.00 a month. But for now life is good, and I love my family, job, and life. The baby is doing great, he's getting big allready. I'll get some picture up eventually. Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

10:02 am	still alive I'm still alive, and still looking for a job. We moved back in with my in-laws...something i swore i would never do again.... Getting a little depressed about the job search. But I know things should be picking up with all the companies getting their new budgets for the year. keep me in your prayers. Stacy and Baby are doing well. Kids had a great Christmas thanks to our church, and family. God is good, and he will provide in his own time. But it can't hurt for me to pray for his time to be today can it? (Comment on this)

6:38 am	Big News! so yesterda at walmart i found a pack of star wars unbleashed minis with yoda in them! Its so cool the bad part was i only had two bucks on me and my card was lost a couple days ago, so I actually put a 9 dollar item on lay-away, I felt kind of dumb. the lasy in front of me at the lay-away had like 200 dollars in bed linens and when i stepped up to the counter the cashier looked amused. But do I really care? NO! i'm gonna have a yoda, obi-wan kenobi, general grevious and someone else unleshed mini so she can just bite me. oh and stacy's pregnant. :) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:33 pm	Firefly So I forced Stacy to watch the Firefly pilot with me last night. It was late and she was tired, but she watched the whole thing with out copmplaints (other than inara in general) Then as i was about to pack it up and go to bed, she started the next episode ( the train job) I think she's hooked..... My wife is cool. Or maybe the correct phrase is "geeky just like me" (Comment on this)

Work is keeoping me busy, working feverishly until my other employee arrives next week. David turns 3 on saturday. He currently says three phrases at least 10 million times a day (not this isn't the only things he says, he just repeats these alot: 1. My name is David and I need you. 2. Love you dude 3. will you play star wars with me? and of course #3 makes me the proudest. :) (Comment on this)

8:34 am	being the boss can suck sometimes So I had to fire a girl yesterday. She just couldn't get to work on time. She was always 10-15 minutes late. Every single shift every single day. The last two times she was scheduled to open the store she did so late. Whenever the store opens late the mall can fine us $100 for openeing over 5 minutes late and an additional 100 for every hour after that. If my store gets fined even once, i loose my bonus for three months. That could be as much as $750. The mall had been very forgiving the first two times. they wouldn't be a third. The girl i'd been having problems with was scheduled to work a double shift (she traded with the person who was opening) I just knew she wouldn't be there. So i went in and opened the store. On my day off. I hoped that i would be wrong, and that she would be there on time. Even at 10:02 i was prpared to let her walk in and start her day. then 10:10 hit, and no beth-ann. 10:15 got there and i was pissed. Not only would i have to fire the girl, but now i would work an 11 hour shift on my day off. I called her. Told her not to come in. She whined that she was in the parking lot. I told her i didn't care, and that i dind't need her anymore. She whined out a few excuses, to which i replied you always have excuses and nothing is ever your fault. She started crying/yelling hysterically and i hung up on her. 10 minutes later she walked into the store to plead her case. Her case was simple : everyone hates her, life isn't fair, please feel guilty and give her another chance. that pissed me off more and i asked her to leave. I wasn'r mean, but i refused to be manipulted by a crying girl. She continued to give me sob stories over and over, but all i said was I'm sorry. Finally she left. I hate seeing anyone cry. I hate even more that i did it. But i just couldn't take it anymore. I'd been too nice for too long. whats funny is that her roommate worked for me too, and he got fired for the same thing two weeks ago. But i have a feeling he was covering for her. When all of that problem went down i told stacy that no the person who was covrering for her is gone she won't last long. And she didn't. But God provides. Last night around 8 i got a call. It was some girl from TN wanting to trasnfer to my storefrom another SGH, because she's moving here. I told her yes, expecting her to want to move here for school, but she said she'll be here in two weeks. So now i've allready replaced beth-ann with another person who doesn't even need to be trained. God is good. all in all a stressful day yesterday, but it all worked out, and i fixed it so i could have today off instead. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:38 am	not too bad so the week has been a good one so far. Got to spend alot of time with mike. Hima stacy and I played lord of the rings trival pursuit. I won. The we played texas hold'em poker. I won. The Mike and I teamed up against stacy, andrea and april in LOTR trival pursuit. We won. Today is my day off. But today is also the first time i'm trusting a certain employee to open my store in a while. I have a bad feeling i'm going to get a phone call that she isn't there at 10 to open it. We'll see though. its early so i think i'm going to pass out on the couch for a few minutes. wish me luck. (Comment on this)
