Nichole and I are down in Portland for my class and a birthday party tomorrow for Malorie Junkert. The weather here is beautiful. In my class this morning I learned about vision and mission. Woohoo! Here are some great links about blogs.

Friday fun links
There haven't been any fun links this week. In honor of this; stop reading this blog, turn off the computer, go outside and get some fresh air. That is what I am going to do.

Really Good News!
Nichole wanted the baby to have it's own post. So here you go baby. You have your own post on our blog before you are even born. I am sure this will be the first of many. Nichole said on the way to the concert tonight that she is the mother of a fetus. It is strange to think I am the father of a fetus.
From Nichole:
It was sorta a joke... the whole fetus thing. It came out in a discussion about MOPS - some ladies at church want me to attend, but I don't feel like I am a "Mother of a Pre-schooler" instead, I feel like the "Mother of a Fetus" so if there was a group called MOFS, I would possibly consider it. :-)

Good News/Bad News
Bad News: Yesterday I sold my VW bus. I have been evaluating my priorities lately and if I have free time I would rather spend time with Nichole, play my guitar or do something bike-related. In light of the good news, it would be something I would not be able to work on in the near future. Nichole and I were sad when we saw it drive away. It went to live where the real hippies are, Portland.
Good News: Nichole is pregnant. She is due the end of March and we are enjoying this new stage of life and all that it entails. Soon I will have one more thing to add to the list of priorities.

Office Exposé
Here is where I work. I think I spend most of my life in my bed, or in my office. Another fun thing is that for my class I am going to take at Western, Youth Ministry management, I have to take pictures of my office. As Katie and Deb mentioned though, that is the cleanest they have ever seen my office, so I will make sure to mention that to my professor. :-)
This first picture is of my bookshelf and chair. The window looks out to 176th St. E. If you look closely on the window sill, you can see two trophies that some students won at the Word of Life volleyball tournament. First place and second place. Woohoo! My book shelves are almost full and have various books and other items. One of my favorite books is an East Indian Bible in the language of the area of India where my grandparents were missionaries. She read her Bible in the language of the area she was serving to be in touch with those she was reaching.
My chair is very special. I have had it in my possession for almost ten years. It has been with me in my dorm at college and now in my office. When my parents first moved to Canada, they needed some furniture and an elderly couple who was moving into a nursing home gave them the chair. That chair rocked both my sister and I when we were babies. My dad has also had it in his office at some time during his ministry. While the chair was in the lobby during carpet laying, someone wanted to know whose ugly chair it was and why don't we get something nicer for our pastors. However, once you sit in the chair you won't care how it looks!
This next picture has the couch and my knick knack shelf. On the shelf are serious things and funny things including a jade monkey from China and a wine goblet from the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. The couch is from Ernie and Cindy Junkert. Cindy is the Head Ministry Assistant at CCBC and we are great friends with their family. This couch was Ernie and Cindy's first couch after they were married and I secured it from another room in the church when I came.
This picture is of my bulletin board and filing cabinets. I affectionately call one of them the smurf cabinet. I bet you can guess which one. On the bulletin board are pictures of students, cards and a picture of Jesus I used in my last sermon. On the filing cabinet fronts are magnetic letters, words and funny magnets. Mountain Dew is one of my favorite beverages and the metal sign on the filing cabinet says, "Mountain Dew, it'll tickle your innards." A funny hillbilly is shooting the top of the bottle.
This last picture is where it all happens. The small gray cabinet on the right is from Pastor Gordie. He brought it with him when he came to Washington and it serves a great purpose. On the wall are my diploma and Purple Feather award. The desk is in its usual state of affairs. There is stuff everywhere and everywhere is stuff. One of my funny sayings is "Organized people are too lazy too find things." Haha. That's my office, exposed.
