For Brian and Wendy

Hello, I haven't posted in well over a year as my friends Brian and Wendy pointed out, so I will post one for them. Before I go into this blog post, I think it is important that I figure out what is a blog and why I do it. A blog is essentially an online diary. You share it with people, so its not really a diary, because you never want anyone to read a diary. So what is it? I guess just a log of what is going on in your life. Alright, well this is what is going on:

1. I tried to sell my jeep again, didn't really work out. So now I am thinking about keeping it. I will need to do work on it, so it will probably cost me some money this summer. I was given another car, so I don't know what I am going to do about that......

2. I got really sick last week, some thing was wrong with my stomach... something very very very wrong. I don't want to get into the gross details, but diarrhea was a large part of my life for a good week. It was the worst last Tuesday. I had to go home from work because I literally had to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes. Miriah was worried about me and said I should go to the doctor. Me, being a man, declined and said I would be fine. Well, a week later, and I am fine. Thank goodness. My friend Brian just ran 100 miles, setting a personal record. Well, I set my own personal record last Tuesday when I went to the bathroom every 20 minutes. Now, I cannot be sure exactly how many times I went in a 24 hour period, but I can tell you I stopped counting at around 15. I would say it was more like 20.

3. Now on to something less gross. I still have braces, they hurt because I complained to the orthodontist that my teeth were not moving fast enough. He said "Oh, well I can take care of that. But it will hurt" I said fine, because I am a man and I can take pain. So for the last 3 days or so I have been complaining like a baby that my teeth hurt. We had a suprise birthday party for David Easaw and all I could do the whole time is complain because the pizza hurt my teeth.

4. No ladies in my life... not yet. At church I made a horrible mistake and while I was making announcements made myself look foolish. Christine started this great new program where parents bring their kids to the Calvary house every other saturday and drop them off for a few hours. THis allows the parents to go have a date night. The parents switch off who watches all the kids. Anyways, I am making an announcement about it and I foolishly say something along the lines of "Parents drop off their kids and then can go on a date night, or whatever it is that couples do" This implied that I didn't know what couples do, then the whole church goes "Ahhh" I probably got pretty red.

5. Joined a volleyball team. I am on Tim and Chris' team. I must say it is pretty fun, even though I do not believe myself to be very good. I do think I am getting better. Volleyball is just plain fun.

6. Applied for a couple new jobs. I am looking to move up at work. I had an interview last week, I thought it went pretty well, and now I have a follow up interview today. Hopfully that goes well. I also have an interview for another job tomorrow.

7. I have been helping my mother out with getting her house ready to sell. It is a long, process. Especially because my sister is having her third child and my mom is going down to see her for two months. I went over there the other day and told her to tell me everything she wanted to keep and while she is gone I am going to have a garage sale and sell everything else. She will be moving in June, so I am going to take a trip south with her and help her get settled into a new place. I just hope her house sells quickly.

That is about it, I will update you as more things happen to me.......

Oh and don't worry Brian, I have been running. I did my first outside run yesterday. While it was no 100 miles in 24 hours, I thought it went pretty well. I think My goal will be a 10K by the end of the summer. Maybe 10 miles..... right now that sounds a little hard. Better keep it to a 10K and then if that happens really quickly, then 10 miles.
