Splendiferous Zeppelin Escapades

We have been doing pretty well. We’ve been mega busy with school and work. It seems like we’ve been going going going. For Valentine’s Day, we had to celebrate it a day early because I was in Parent Teacher Conferences on Valentine’s Day. We went to the Red Rock Canyon grill and had a great time. It was nice to spend that time together. It seems like we’ve been getting less and less of it lately. But we’ll get a solid week of togetherness in 15 days!!

We are going on another cruise this year. It will be our Spring break trip. We are so excited. We are visiting different ports this time, and we’ll take better pictures this time (more of what people want…US!!) We are going to be doing some really cool things. I’m looking to find a water proof camera housing or something so we can take pictures during our couple snorkeling trips.

So, we are doing great, but we are busy. Hope all is well with everyone.

While working on a new project, I saw an opportunity to use an old piece of code I’d written several months ago.  I knew basically what it did and put it in without remembering specifically how it accomplished this task.  I usually look into those things to make sure I’m familiar with their inner workings, but I didn’t feel the need to this time.

Well, after moving on and doing some testing, I noticed that my implementation of the code was causing the whole thing to break, so I pulled it open and compared my implementation of the code I had imported to the code itself.  To my surprise, I noticed some other problem completely unrelated that I would have missed completely if not viewing this particular error in this particular context.

I felt very grateful that I had ran into some trouble early on because it showed me problems that I couldn’t have identified any other way. I couldn’t help but think that the Lord has designed this life in a similar way. If nothing else, our trials, adversities, etc. can help us identify our weaknesses such that we can correct them earlier rather than later and grow in the process.
