| This is just a quick check-up to see if people are still reading this. I haven't updated in months, and I just wanted to see if it was worth the time... If you do still receive this, please post a comment to let me know you are all still alive!

| Okay, my last post was in October, and it is now............December.......... Yeah...
It is so sad when you don't have a life any longer. I can't believe that I am actually back in a routine of work, sleep and church, but with the rather pleasant addition of being able to go to the beach every once and a while. My job is going really well, and I wanted to thank all of you for your prayers. The last couple of months have been difficult in dealing with all of the homesickness that I feel for my home in Europe. It seems so foreign to me to actually be thinking about my job from six months from now and knowing that it will be the same and that I will be in the same place. (No country hopping for a while, I guess.) But, I know that God has provided this for me, and I am definitely not complaining. It has been a huge blessing, and I know that God will be teaching me through my time here, just as much as my time abroad. So, to all my friends abroad: Love you and miss you all. I pray that I get the chance to see you again soon! And to all my friends here in the States: It has been so great to see some of you, and know that HE is able to sustain you, even in the hard times and the times you are missing home.
Love ya all! | | |
| AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I GOT A JOB!!!!! 
Okay, so now having said that.... I was just given a job at Washington Mutual in Morro Bay (Central California Coast). And I will be starting sometime in the next couple of weeks! It was so awesome, because everything I wanted in a job, this provides!!! And it means that I will not be completely destitute any longer! It may also mean that I might be able to fly out for a visit to Europe sometime in the coming months! (Praying, oh yeah!) Okay, well, I really need to get going, but I will post some time in the near future! Love ya all! Miss you guys!

| Dust off the keyboard and the screen.... Wow, I still do have a Xanga account... So much has happened since June. Ummmmmmm, where to start?????
I am back in Cali. The Lord closed the door for me to be in Europe. So, that means that He has something else for me in the mean-time. What that is...I haven't a clue. I am looking though. My time here in the States has been a mixed blessing. Granted, I have been able to see some friends whom I haven't seen in almost a year, but, by the same token, it means that I will not be able to see friends I have in Europe. Such is life.
Currently, I am applying for jobs, and we will see where that leads. I was a banker before I left for Europe, and it appears that it is to that line of work that I am returning. I have been looking in the Central Coast region of California (San Luis Obispo) and down in So Cal, as well. We will see where I end up. I should have some direction by the end of the week. God willing.
In the mean time, it has been great to see the fam, friends and be able to see everyone from my home church. Also, I have to say, America has some GREAT food! Ahhhh, the joys of real Mexican (no offence to either Rose Martin or Rose Sanchez), Panda Express and Thai food!
Hopefully, I will be able to put up some pics on here in the near future. Until then....

| Hey everyone!!!! Okay, so the wedding is over, and I am back in Vajta... Yeah. Anyway, the wedding went extremely well, at least I think it did. I have yet to develop my film, and that will be the final determination. The wedding preparation was rather insane, but it was a whole lot of fun. (Except for the not getting to bed until after midnight thing...compounded by the whole waking up at six thing... ) So, finally gonna get some pictures on here, and here they are:
Wedding prep, what's that??? I think that this was about the end of the madness.... Our lovely flower ladies Back Row: Lori Pritchard, Rose Martin Front Row: Gwyn Walsh, Miriam Siesespeck, Julie Buljovčić (formerly Julie Mercer), Rose Sanchez
My friends Dejan and Julie - Yeah... (Actually, we were doing some photos at a resort in Serbia, called Палиц (Palić).
Okay, so in the park, their is this statue of two little old ladies sitting on a park bench... It was too much to resist. Back Row: Mike Pritchard, Dejan Buljovčić, Szilard Szegledi, Joanne Bugbee (Julie's Mom) Front Row: Lori Pritchard, Julie Buljovčić, Rose Sanchez, Miriam Siesespeck and me!
So, there's the latest update for y'all. Oh, by the way, the hair, yeah, it's gone... 
I pray that you are all doing well! Drop me a line if you get the chance! I go back to Austria on Monday, so your prayers would be appreciated. I will be applying for an Austrian visa, which can be a little tricky!
Love y'all! God Bless,
Christian | | |
