Hello Blog World

Published by Elaine under Inspirational on August 22, 2008

OMG…where has the time gone? The last post was 2 months ago!!!! Well of course like always since then so much has happened in the Castillo’s home.

First off, we moved, thats probably the biggest reason I have not sat down and blogged. We moved about 10 minutes away from where we lived before, a nice, quiet area. We met Solomon’s new teacher at a new school and I think she is perfect for him. She seems so sweet. My little Solomon will start school this Monday, and this time a full day…wow…where does the time go??? He has all his school supplies, his transformers backpack (his request) his sneakers and the rest of his new school clothes. I have yet to buy him some converse shoes. That is still on my list.

We have also been attending Community Bible Church, absolutely love it. We are planning on becoming members very soon. Pastor Emmitt is quite enlightening and both Isaac and I have grown to respect him and his family. His wife, Julie volunteers at the Children’s Hospital…we know that because we ran into her while we were spending sometime with my neice, Davina. I really respect that, shes not superficial, not trying to be a stepford, shes actually out doing good in the community, which speaks volumes. The pastor is not a paranoid freak….hes a laid-back kind a guy…I like to refer to his personality as Tommy Lee Jones/Dr. Phil/ President Bush…good’ole Texan boy…don’t give a hoot if he offends but with class if you will!!! People need to hear the truth…and you what I’m absolutely ok with that. I’ll tell you what I don’t approve of….pastors who are so paranoid, which then leads to bad judgement which then leads to a cover-up of bad actions which then leads to a guilt-lead sermon of how much the church needs tithe…which will then lead you to an AWESOME/INCREDIBLE/SUPER/POWERFUL/TENACIOUS/INFLUENTIAL……individual…….blah blah blah blah blah!!!! “Oh wait this sermon actually worked…you know what now lets start a conference where we can charge more money!!!” Yup can you believe it I actually attended a church like that…what a waste of precious time. Anyways let me get off this soap box and never return!!! We are in a far better place than what we were about a year and half ago…Life is good.

Well to change the subject, my mother-in-law will be moving to SA soon. Thats exciting for the kiddos. Speaking of parents, mine were in town for a couple of days…was very nice. Got to drink some coffee and eat pan de dulce…yup thats the way we do it My brother and his family will be moving here as well in about a year, can’t wait for that. My other brother was in town on the 4th of July, in fact the whole family was visiting, it was a lot of fun. Here are some pics from our get-together.
