So tonight Jessica and I went on a date and watched 13 Going on 30. Wow, what a total chick-flick mind numbing experience. Jessica enjoyed it but I found myself completely bored except for the part where they danced to Thriller by Michael Jackson. Jessica is a wonderful wife and I’d sit through “13go30” 5 more times with her without any fuss, but man, couldn’t the writers come up with a plot line? There was no surprises, no twists and formulaic doesn’t begin to describe the ‘story line.’

On the upside there really wasn’t that much swearing, there wasn’t too much in the way of sexual content and there’s something funny about a bunch of adults dancing to a Michael Jackson video. However, the bad side is the adultery, lying, back-stabbing and excessive use of nose-job jokes. I also think that the use of the Talking Heads and then immediately making fun of them was a bad choice… there were far worse bands that could have been made fun, especially since Burning Down the House is a pretty good rock standard.

Oh, well. I hope that the gals who watch it enjoy it and I hope that the guys who watch it with their gals love their gals as much as I love my bride!

For the first time in a long time I started recording music again tonight. I have uploaded it onto the site. It’s a little different from what I’ve recorded before, and it’s not really mixed or mastered. However, I really like the sound, it’s mellow and words haven’t been written yet, I’m thinking of trying to write about Romans 8:19-21 as it was what I studied in the men’s Bible study at Holly Hills Bible Church this last Tuesday.

Good stuff there, Mike Doyle taught, and he’s a good teacher who is knowledgable in God’s Word. I was impressed by the fact that Christians are intimately tied to Christ in His death and resurrection. However, we’re also intimately tied to his glory as well! This was really neat when also tied to Paul’s next statement about how creation waits for Christ’s return so that it will be restored to it’s pre-fall state.

Anyway, it was good to study and I hope that next week’s work schedule turns out better than this last weeks, which was horrible due to my DSL not getting set up right. I have a new modem showing up this week on Tuesday that will hopefully correct the issue.

Resting in Him,

Randy

It’s the first snow we’ve gotten since moving here – the bummer part is that Becky, my sister, is moving to Carson this week-end and they were planning on leaving tomorrow morning. We’ll see as the snow doesn’t appear to be keeping tracking of their schedule. Oh, ‘they’ refers to her fiance and future-father-in-law who are helping her move.

Happy Birthday Dad! Thanks for an awesome life that is a present beyond anything I could give you! Thanks for letting me steal your bandwidth. Thanks most for the blessing of my spiritual heritage! We love you so much and pray for the Lord’s return right along with you.

Abby says, “Happy Birthday To You!”… I think she wants some ice cream 🙂

Network Solutions sent me an email saying that I could register www.randypeterman.com for 100 years to protect it from web squatters. Doh! That would be a brilliant scheme, I need to figure out how to get people to protect something for longer than their lifetime, and possibly longer than the lifetime of their company. I think that this is brilliant, and if I had my way I’d sell them insurance on it, too 🙂

Abby started some pre-potty-training potty training today. Jessica put her on her little training seat and Abby was pleased with this. However, Abby discoverd that she needed to go potty once seated and promptly stood up and peed all over the floor. I suppose that these are the whoas that we’ll be dealing with in this process, but it is really quite funny.

Hopefully all of this will be behind us soon as Abby’s a sharp girl and will figure it out.

OK, so we’re getting closer to being ‘unpacked.’
Friday night a storm of people descended on our apartment complex and helped us unload.
On top of that they unloaded the truck in about one and a half hours.
A neat group of folks to say the least.

Also, just as amazing was that one of the fellows at the church had access to a very nice office set that he installed.
My new office is even nicer than the one I had while working at Alt-N.
We are truly blessed.

I’ve got lots more to write, but right now I’m on dial-up and so I’ll wait until I get some broadband again and then post some video footage of things from around the complex and in our apartment.
