September 2, 1979......

True to form I've once again managed to not tell Jed and Eli happy birthday on their birthday......it seems to be an annual ritual. Sorry fellas. I've many good memories of spending time with you and hope that we continue to get to hang out in the future. I hope that you were blessed on your birthdays. Happy Birthday!

p.s.-remember the day in the photo? :)

Fore!

I only yelled that once yesterday.....and didn't even really need to. I'm at Cannon Beach right now with the Thomas men-brothers, dad, grandpa. My dad, brothers, and I went golfing yesterday-27 holes. Golf is so fickle. One minute you can hit an incredible shot and think, "I can do this". Then you don't see another incredible shot for the next 15 shots. But then you hit another and the game keeps you wanting more. Overall it was good to hang out with my family and spend time together.....we did this last year as well after my mom passed away. I think this will turn in to a bit of a tradition which is cool. So until next year-"Fore!"

Get Fuzzy

If you're not familiar with this comic, you should be. When I first started reading it, it took me a little bit to get "it" but now I'm definitely a fan.

3:25 a.m. or so

It was about this time last night that I stumbled down the hallway to take a look outside and see the lunar eclipse. The moon was about a third of a way covered with a slight shadow. Kind of cool and also kind of weird when you consider what a lunar eclipse is. I should have taken a photo but didn't think I'd get a decent one. Oh well.

Greetings..

Just quickly writing a post to say that I'm currently sitll alive and breathing. The summer was incredibly busy and we spent a good amount of it away from our house (and computer). Tomorrow night I have class starting up again which blows me away seeing as how 2 months went by in a blink. I don't know if I'm quite ready to get started back in school but it's time to buckle down and get after it. I'll post some photos of our summer travels in the next week or so....maybe in class :) P.S. Thanks to the Multnomah boys for haning out this past Friday night. Good food, bad service, okay movie, good company=good times.

Lost weekend#1

Memorial Day weekend we headed out to Cannon Beach. I think this is one of my top five favorite places to be.......although it wasn't always sunny, when it was, it was beautiful. We went with some "newer" friends of ours that we met through playing ultimate. Gunnar and his wife Jamie-their sons-Bryson, Kjell, and Soren. We had an awesome time hanging out with them. It was good to be able to spend a longer amount of time with a family to see what daily life would look like. When Britt and I got married we decided to be on the "3-5 year plan" when it came to having kids. 3 years is next week. We definitely find ourselves moving to wanting to have kids but aren't quite there. Lots of responsibility! (more than we know). The kids were well behaved and they are an awesome family. But we both came away saying "Not quite yet...." All that to say the weekend was awesome-lots of time on the beach and good food.

Britt and I went to Fort Stevens on the way home which was fun. As we were leaving the beach house we saw two fighter jets (f-16's?) fly a couple of hundred feet over the water line. It was a fun ending to a good weekend.

Class, class, class

I've been meaning to post on some of the recent happenings but homework has made that a challenge.....even though I'm in class right now :) I've got a presentation sometime in the next hour of so-should be okay. I'll post more on my past weekends later. Back to class.
