Hello again, I’m your friendly slacker blogger Phil.  I’m the guy that’s been posting once a month on average lately.  Many apologies for that, and I can honestly say that it’s not because there’s nothing going on.  A lot has happened recently so let me share what’s been going on.

I have to start by sharing the good news that I am getting another promotion!  Just a few months after getting promoted for the first time, I’ve been offered another position as a Site Supervisor.  It’s my first job in management and I’m very excited.  There are many things that I love about this new job, and many of them have to do with the fact that it’s not my old job.  It hasn’t been the smoothest 9 months of my life, but this is what they promised me when I took the first promotion so in the end I’m happy.  It will be some more money too, which is always nice when you have a car payment every month.

We did get a new car a few weeks ago.  We got a 2005 Chrysler Sebring and it’s very nice.  As I said in my post a few weeks ago, we decided that it was not in our best interest to lease a new car.  It all worked out well and we’re very happy with the car we have.  It’s a very cool color which I haven’t seen before.  I guess the best way to describe it is that it’s a graphite/metallic black color.  My favorite part is that it has green and purple flecks in the paint that sparkle in the sun and make the car look maroon.  It’s pretty awesome.  I’ve attached a few pictures of the car for your enjoyment.

We also got a really great deal on a Nintendo Wii off of Craigslist.  I’ve wanted one since it was known as the Nintendo Revolution long before it was announced to the public.  Now we have one and it’s awesome.  Cassie and I play against each other all the time and she’s getting way too good at some games.  I still kick her butt on Wii Sports.

Lily is still growing and developing at breakneck speed.  She’s talking so much now and she’s also got a new love of singing.  Watch for yourself.

Things are good in this Hull house, but the rest of my family is struggling right now.  Both my dad and my sister need new jobs and my mom is having knee replacement surgery soon.  Please pray that my dad finds work before she goes in for her surgery.  They are terrified of being without an income for six weeks or more.  God will provide, but it won’t hurt if everyone prays to remind him.  Angela also needs to hear about a job at her church that she’s been waiting on for years.

It’s 4th of July weekend and I’m going to go have some fun now.  (I take that back, it looks like I’m going to go clear out the closet in our bedroom.)  I am ready for some fireworks tomorrow though.  I love me some fireworks.
