And just like that the weekend was gone. This weekend we headed down to the crabbs house in Hotlanta. Crabby and I let our wives run free with the credit cards and we had the day to ourselves. Crabby and I unfortunately have become a couple of old men. We tried doign some Christmas shopping, we failed at that so we tried to see a movie, failed at that, so what'd we do? Drank some coffee and read video game magazines at Borders.... Classy. It was fun and relaxing two things I like doing. Then we went to Carabas which I have convinced wifey that it is better than Olive Garden if you have to choose an italian chain restaurant. We then continued the tradition of guys verse girls Spaids. The men pulled out a stunning comeback behind the likes of a few Nills by yours truly. There's something about going nill in spaids that just appeals to my inner self. You see going nill is when you have to lose every hand, if you win one you're luggage as the govenor of Cali For Nia would say. I think I'm so good at going nill because i'm a natural loser and thus i just do what i do best. LOSE BIG TIME!!
Then we watched SNL which was disappointing as usual.
Wifey and I had a really great time in Atlanta. We'd really like to settle down in atlanta some day. We know a lot of people there and have already been to several great churches down there. This weekend we went to Rob Holme's dad's church which i was very impressed with both the sermon by Pastor Holmes and the overall friendly level of the entire congregation. As far as transferring down there with Cigna I'd have to go into another line of work within the company to do that. Underwriting is based here in chat, nashville, and two other cities in a far away galaxy, Pheonix and Bloomfield. So unless i could transfer to another dept more sales or service oriented I'd have to fidn some other job. There is still my dream of law school which I feel I need one last stab at. I feel like maybe if i apply one more time i'll be satisfied with the outcome i get. I plan on applying to a few schools, some i applied to last year and some i didn't. Part of the goal of us living here in Georgia, despite being close to Bucks Pit Barbeque, was to get Georgia residency, which i now have, and see if that helps my chances in getting into a GA law school. Only time will tell so we'll see. I'm not sure if a few monthes corporate experience will help me or not, i hope it does. As i told my wife we trying to see what cards we get dealt here in the next year and make a decision on our future upon what kind of hand we have. If i get denied entry into all the schools i apply to I'm taking that as a resounding "YOU AINT" GOING TO LAW SCHOOL KID" from God. I'm not trying to test God but no sense having a pipe dream if I ain't got da brains to do get into da schools. Plus I feel like if i give it one more college try that I'll be able to say "Hey I tried, it didn't work out, now i can focus on my career" which means climbing up the corporate ladder here at cigna or trying to jump to another ladder down in atlanta after a little more work experience is under my belt. We'll see its all a matter of time, patience, and trusting in God to lead us through. We're trying to place all our trust in him since he is God and all powerful and all. I mean he did save us from sin, the least we can do is trust in him.
We love chattanooga but we also love Atlanta so its just a matter of where God wants us to be. That may sound so trite as I here it tossed aroudn a lot but it really is true. We're unsure of the path we are to take and we're going to see what doors are opened, and what doors a shut in the next year or so. GOd's been so good to us, and we have to truly count our blessings. We've been blessed with great jobs, although not fun and exciting, great pay and great co-workers. Plus our church and friends have been so supportive and loving that we would've have had a hard time being married without their support and encouragement. I'm excited to see what develops in the next few monthes or so and where our paths will go as we get a clearer view of our future. Gots to sleep adios
