Updates

Boy it has been awhile since I’ve updated this beast. What has been happening lately, well I found out bears can climb trees faster then they can run and they can swim. So just by those two facts alone if you see a bear you’re done for. Go get’em tiger.

Last weekend we went to the renaissance festival. Fun time that was…really it was. We saw jousting, a guy with a cup over his you know what, a fire breathing guy, oh and we saw jousting. Overall it was a good day although next time we go I will need to make sure I have a 5 months savings. Once you pay to get in most of everything inside cost money as well…lots of money.

Tuesday was the most important day ever…actually, the most important day after the death and resurrection of Christ. Anyways it mine and Jen’s anniversary. Three years we’ve been married. Hard to believe that it’s been three years all ready, but it has. We weren’t really able to do anything really special like last year because of the ol’ mighty dollar. We did though go out for sushi. I’ve been really craving sushi for awhile and she found a nice little restaurant that has it. Two thumbs up for Jen.

This weekend we are going back to the creeper trail, but with the youth group. It’s been getting into the high 30’s lows 40’s. I can only imagine what it’ll be like in Virginia. My guess cold. Speaking of cold the first morning we woke up with frost we realized we had nothing to scrap it off with and the only thing I could find was an empty water bottle. I would like to say that I melted the plastic bottle down to a solid sheet of plastic and used that to scrap it, but we are under a burn ban. So I used the bottle cap.

I started my introductory to the Gospel of John class three weeks ago. One of the easiest gospels to read, but as the teacher say’s “it’s also the deepest gospel of them all”. This semester has really been kicking my butt though. On top of my lectures, I have my quizzes, my discussion board stuff, and I also need to write two papers. One of them I am working on now is the eight miracles performed by Jesus in the book of John. Did mention I also have my math class lectures. Believe it or not, I had to limit my riding to only weekends.

A couple days ago Jen put the house back on the market with BuyOwner and believe it or not we had a call tonight. He is interested in moving here from Ohio and wants his son to go and look at the house not this weekend, but next weekend. So we shall see where this goes. Sell house sell!

By the way because of this stupid Hollywood strike the new season 24 has been delayed. Stupid writers strike. Did I mention the writers strike is stupid.

Question..

It is a Friday night and I am sitting in the downstairs lobby of the Hampton Inn can life get any better. So we are in Orlando right now or at least until Sunday morning. What are we doing in Orlando you ask. Jen got her PE license today..eh, well actually she took her exam today. However I am being very confident for her, because she does not want to be over confident. So somebody needs to do it. So it was a pretty long day for her exam started at 7:15 this morning and she got done about 6 I guess and we will find out the results in December sometime.

My mom came up today for the weekend to visit with us since we could not get down there to see her. We would have loved to go down home, but after an already long drive I could not bear find the energy to drive another 2 hours back home. It’s really good to see her I just wish I was able to see everyone else. I do not know when we will be able to get down to see the rest of the family, but I hope one day soon. Stupid money and everything being expensive. I wish I could put money on “The List”.

So tomorrow we’ll be going to Sea World because military and family can get in for free. It’s funny because Sea World was never in the plans. Here’s how it went down Wednesday night at dinner Jen and I ran into one of her old friends from New York who happens to have a job at Sea World. He said he would try to round up some extra tickets for us and get us in the back to pet the penguins. He was not able to get us the tickets, but I remembered the military thing so it works out. He said he would still get us in the back with the penguins though. One word…awesome.

So I have been in Orlando a whole two and a half days I have come to the conclusion that one, I do not miss Florida and two Orlando people are jerks. So Orlando and Jacksonville are both on “the list”. Actually Jacksonville has always been on “the list”, long story, but now Jacksonville has company. By the way I got lost in a parking lot twice today. Well not really lost it was really more stuck then anything. Parking lots here are limited on exits..must have been a supply shortage.

So yesterday marked a very important day. ::Drum roll please:: the preview for 24 season 7 came out. I cannot wait for this season, it looks to be probably the best yet. Do not get me wrong last season was good, but it could have been better. Tony is back with a huge twist, CTU is gone, and, Jack is well doing what he does best, killing terrorists. So it’s only October and the new season starts in January. By my math If you start watching Monday I think you can get through all of the seasons before the new one starts. Can’t wait to hear what you think. Till next time.
