First Christmas in TN

So this was my first Christmas in Tennessee and it was quite nice. I really didn’t have much going on, but I did have the house all to myself for about a week. Brody’s parents were in town and I got to eat a lot of really good food. What more could you want?

Snow? Maybe a pair of the those really nice gloves and a snowball to through with them. Well, maybe next year. For now I’m content and glad 08 has been such an interesting year. I always find myself very reflective around Christmas. I know why, and yet I still don’t understand it.

I don’t make New Years Resolutions and I don’t make predictions, but I will say that I think 09 is going to be interesting. Every year around this time I think about what is going to happen over the next year, and a lot of it’s unknown. Some where in there I always seem to find one thing that I can be certain of.

The only thing I’m certain of so far is that 09 is the year I’ll learn Franklin and the surrounding area. although thats not the gut certainty I’m waiting for… :cool:

Calm winter evening
one thing is for sure, the clouds here move fast!!!

Easter Reflections

Things I thought about today

how is it that the world moves the way it does and yet the general mood seems to have no reflection of its creator?
my time and energy is spent day in and day out do things and completing tasks that seem pointless. If i was alive 2,000 yrs ago would my daily routines seem less pointless. Has the rise in technology and the speed of our culture changed our perception when [...] Read More

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter

This “Holiday” always seems to confuse me. To me the meaning of Easter is totaly different than the “Holiday” of easter. And with it goes, what day is it on. I get the feeling it has something to do with celestial cycles, or at least something other than our Monthly system.

As i grew up Easter was a normal thing. We did all the regular eastery things like eggs and some candy, the fun things. [...] Read More

New Years

Well its 2008. This is my last year in the 20′s so I’m going to try and make it good.

I spent my new years at home watching a Planet of the Apes marathon. As it turns out there are 4 movies that I know of posibley 5. Jenny is out of town and I dont really go out that much. I will tell you this, Oregon has fireworks.

This was my first New Years here [...] Read More

Christmas Vacation Day #5

Day 5 was another day of just sitting around and doing a lot of nothing. It was awsome.

All the kids and everyone but me and my parents and one niece went to boreal for skiing. I didnt go because I didnt want to get hurt, maybe next time. From what I heard they all got up there and then most of the kids just wanted to go home because they didnt want to take [...] Read More

Christmas Vacation Day #4

Not much happened on day 4, I spent most of it sleeping. My usual sleep schedule has been tossed out the window and stepped on by the dogs, so taking a nap was the best thing I could have done.

The thought of having my own kids has never really been a big ‘no’. Im good with kids and know i could handle the screaming and yelling. But!, handling the screaming and yelling is a developed [...] Read More

Christmas Vacation Day #3

We had our present opening yesterday with all the nieces and nephews, brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents. It was a mad house of toys wrapping paper, toys in the air and laughing. I really like to see someone open a present when its something they really like. After presents and dessert the adults (the older kids) all went down to the Foothills bowl and had some fun for about an hour. I may have [...] Read More

Christmas Vacation Day #2

Christmas day was much like other we have here, but we didnt open presents yet. We are waiting on my younger sister and her husband. (Joy & Brian) They’ll be down from Reno around 2 this afternoon. Basically we just had Christmas Dinner yesterday. It seems like were taking a whole day to do all the little things that you would normally do on just Christmas. Oh, and my dad is running a bed and [...] Read More

Christmas Vacation day #1

I spent most of today with my cousin Jesse playing frisbee golf. We went to Condon Park in GrassValley, and then we had some lunch and went to the Auburn course. (where i proceeded to suck) We had a good time. It’s been along time since I played so it really wasnt that bad for how long its been. Other wise I was with the fam eating pizza and playing Apple to Apples. (good game [...] Read More
