MLK Day

Martin Luther King had a dream.

I'm sure he would want you to have one as well.

What is it? Go get it.

A Weekend In January

Well well well, nice to talk to you again. It's been a while.

I got this weekend off somehow, didn't have a Bethel basketball game and used it to my full advantage to exploit some good old entertainment.

Friday night after work Katy and I ate with Dad and Grandma. It was a very nice visit with Dad in town and Grandma doing the cooking. We heard Dad's great story about how he took the blow and downed too much...oh boy...what was it? Fish oil? In any case, Dad did a great job reading and John did a great job writing about it. It was a great piece. Ask Dad about it. :)

Saturday I got a haircut and did alot of football watching while hanging out with Katy all day and getting Buca's to go. We saw a great Packers game where they took a blow in the first five or six minutes before tying it up at 14 before the end of the first quarter and then blowing out the Seahawks. Katy was gracious enough to then watch the Jags and Pats too. That turned out to be a pretty good watch too.

Today, we went to church, ran some errands at Sports Authority, Banana Republic and came back for the end of the Chargers and Colts and then the full Giants Cowboys game. Now, it's 9:12pm on Sunday night and I'm still staring at a screen.

Honestly, I can't wait to not be looking at a screen.

Oh, also Friday I talked to James and I'll be at just four days a week for a couple months. Let's hope I can be productive during that time. Encourage me to do that please! I do really need a new job where I have a chance to do something I want to do and take care of things in life in all aspects.

How's project 365 coming? Here's some of my evidence from this weekend.



Friday Night at Grandma's



Nice Vest! My tribute to Eric. :)

PS-your nice gray button up vest is on sale. I just have to wait for the right time!

It's a New Year

New Year's took us to Nick and Becca's place for The Illusionist, some television, good food and better company.

It was a low key New Year but it was spent in good company. Here's the evidence.



Me and Kathryn




Paul, Me, Katy, Nick and Becca

The New Year started a new project my sister and I are doing. Some might call it Project 365. I might call it that in the end too but it's not going to be a shot of me every day like some projects. It's going to be shots of my life. People, events, scenery, special days are all going to be in the mix. I'll post a picture occasionally, I hope, of my picture of the day. At the end of the year, hopefully Em and I will have 365 days of photos we can compile together in a book. Feel free to suggest ideas off of this Project 365 idea on how I can change or improve upon it.

Home for Christmas!

Finally a chance to share about going home for Christmas...



I had a great time being home for Christmas. Though it was a brief visit and I wished I could have stayed longer I was very appreciative to Em and Mom for getting me home. Thank you. :)

I was excited that Megan called and emailed with excitement when she got the email of my itinerary about me coming home.



Family...Five to Eight plus one!

I was happy to get home and see the reaction on the presents they received. I was happy to finally find something for Mark, and he even liked it!
