Well the weather was good on the Forth of July this year. It was a little cooler than normal — possibly a breeze every now and then. Wills Park fireworks were much improved from last year. We were a little concerned because it started to thundered just before the show began, but it looked like [...]

Last night I actually got more than 8 hours of sleep.
The strangest part was being woken up by the dog to go out. At first it was frustrating because it felt like it was 3 AM. But after looking at the clock, it was only 11:45 PM — right on schedule. Crazy.
P.S. This weekend is a [...]

It sneaks up one you. One day you are playing poker and the pot consists of Skittles and Starbursts. You can bet it all and not care because you’ve got a pocket full of candy you were going to eat yourself anyway. You are just enjoying the game, hoping to get some more candy [...]

I’ll let Bulldawgy give you a review of the game on Saturday.
It was Mission Child Care Night on Saturday so we dropped the kids off at church to have a date-night. I listened in the car as we drove to Outback. I could see the television at the bar from our seats. I stood [...]

Just in case you missed it…
UGA: 35 - Oklahoma: 14
Yep, the family was dressed in red and black today. I had heard speculation across the board about this game — from Oklahoma will stomp all over UGA, to UGA will take Oklahoma to the cleaners, to who ever wins will win by 3. [...]

Today was a first. The first time I went to a gym before work. Regina won a six free month family membership to the YMCA that is right next to Camryn’s school. How can we not use it? We’ll see how the six months go. Then if we are still going, we will probably get sucked into joining [...]

Been quiet but have lots going on. Vacationing, working, sickness, surgery, healing, reading, learning, saving, spending … turn, turn, turn.
I’m continually amazed at this winding road called life and all the tragedy and blessing along the way. I’m amazed by how people’s lives intersect and change the course of time and history. I’m amazed by how [...]

So I’m keeping track of the weather on July 4th for no real reason. This year it was very pleasant. The humidity was low and there wasn’t a single threat of rain all day. This year we stayed inside for most of the day because Camryn had her tonsils out on the 3rd. Maegan and [...]

I have an old childhood memory of going to Indian Springs State Park with my Aunt Marianne and swimming in the stream and playing on the rocks. I also have many fond memories of Jacks River Falls, the top of the Ocoee River (a quick swim before rafting), and some place just off [...]

Play it enough and you’re bound to lose.
Camryn has brought strep throat home five times now since school started and thankfully I’ve dodged it … up until now.
Maybe I’ll post some pictures soon.
