Quick Post
This past weekend we went to the Creeper Trail with the youth group from our church. Totally different from the last time we went…mainly because it was between the 50’s and 60’s.
Got word today that the tenants are looking to move out because we decided to put the house back on the market. They want to be out mid December before Wal-Mart goes on a hiring freeze and they’re not able to transfer. So we have three options: option A this guy who is coming to look at the house this weekend buys it, option B the We Buy Ugly Houses people buy it, or option C we foreclose on it.
Thanksgiving is coming up and I am really looking forward to the long weekend. My mother and brother will be leaving Wednesday morning to come up for Thanksgiving and I can’t wait for that. One day we hope to get back down to Florida to see everyone else.
Till next time kids.
I leave you with this scene from The Office. Bears beat Battlestar Galactic…I told you they were dangerous.
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.
Cooking and Mountain Biking
So Saturday Jen and I went to Virginia Creeper Trail. It is a 17-mile bike ride down a mountain on old rail road track. Throughout the trail you can camp, fly fish, horse riding, or even take other trails if your an experienced bike rider.
So you pay one of the many bike shops to take you and your bike to the top of the mountain and you ride back to your vehicle. Jen and I get up to the top with the in-laws beach cruisers (google beach cruiser if you don’t know what it looks like) and get this, some 40 year old dude makes fun of us. He says to Jen “those are some wide handle bars” and then rides over to me “where did you get those bikes from, did you rent them?”
With about 1 mile left I was able to put to use my military medical training. Jen and I are riding when we hear a girl screaming and crying as if her arm just fell off. So I stop and turn to see a girl 13 or 14 what looked like she wiped out. So I ran over there to see how bad it was. She said her shoulder hurt really bad, but there was no blood or nothing out of place. Her elbow had a nice gash on it so I bandaged her elbow up and I told the people she was with they may need to have her shoulder checked out by a doctor.
So lately I’ve gotten into this thing called cooking. It’s where you take food and spices and actually prepare stuff. Weird I know. But I’ve been cooking up a storm one night I made home-made meatballs for spaghetti, stuffed peppers the other night, and then Friday I made home-made salsa.
Some pictures below for your viewing pleasure.
Till next time kids.
