Birthdays

This is the month for Birthdays! Janet (Melissa's mom) was on the 3rd and Jen (Melissa's sister) is today-6th and Bobs is on the 14th. All with in a couple weeks. We love family birthdays!!! Happy Birthday to All!

Even though it was Jen's B-day today, the National Weather Service was holding a meeting . The meeting was held all day at a local hotel conference room, and then this evening it was moved over to Tony Romas restaurant for the rest of our spouses. A few weeks back Melissa & I had to fill out this fill in the circle test of which best describes you and your personality. The test was called a Meyer Briggs Type Indicator test. The MBTI gives you four different types or indicators that explains your personality. The main reason for the training was to help you learn more about yourself and how to interact and communicate better with others. The test results were not really surprising, showing that Melissa and I were mirror opposites on all four indicators. I(Bob) am an Introvert-Sensor-Thinker-Judge and Melissa is an Extrovert-Intuitor-Feeler-Perceiver. Our Introvert/Extrovert outcome was no surprise. I(Bob) tend to look for facts and things that can be proved by the senses and like to follow things in order, while Melissa sees the big picture and creative possibilities and can be a lot more spontaneous.


Sometimes Melissa and I see things differently (not a bad thing at all), but after taking the test we are more aware of how we are wired differently. A good example is the above pictures. I see it as criminal vandalism imported on trains into Montana from the larger cities. Melissa sees it as artwork. Very talented individuals with much potential but needing guidance. Luckily we are both very open minded and can see each others opinions as two different ways of looking at the same thing. Actually a very great pair to keep us balanced in everyday life.



How do you see it?????
