A little of this, a little of that


There's been a lot of little things to write about lately.

Nori and Christian have either completed or are within a couple of weeks of completing their respective grades/classes. We started them both in November; Nori in 2nd and Christian in 1st. I'm so proud of the work they do.

A friend and I hung gutters on our house last Saturday. I wish we could save all the water for the winter season. I just don't think it would be that cost effective. Anyway, the guy that helped is an extremely handy guy and has helped me learn a lot about fixing stuff 'round the house.

We watched Jumpers last night. That was actually decent. I assumed before hand that it would be a cool idea with a poorly developed storyline, so-so acting, an underdeveloped plot, and loose ends. I got what I expected. However, Darth Vader did a better job than I thought and I am still wondering what I would do if I could teleport anywhere I wanted. Would I be a good Jumper or a bad Jumper? Would people hunt me down as monstrosity or abomination?

I'm leaving the Pirating business, er, Secret Agent business and going into movie critiquing. Think I'll make it?

I start the next class as Liberty U next week - Daniel and Revelation. It probably won't be easy, but classes from there encourage my faith and challenge my beliefs.

Our pool is going great the 2nd time around. It is really nice to relax in with all this heat.

Two weeks until the circus - swwweeeeeeeeeeetaaaaaah!

Candi and I have almost been married 10 years... well, o.k. almost 9 years and that's almost 10! So, it doesn't seem like we've been married for almost 20 years - amazing. I am extremely bless to be married to her; I can't wait to see the rest!

Under the Big Top

Last summer we went to the Ringling Brother's Circus. It was held at the Community Center downtown. It was my first time and I have to admit it was magical. The show was fantastic, the performers were awesome live, and the clowns weren't as freaky as I thought they would be... well, most of them anyway.

I'm buying tickets for this years circus now and so I thought I'd put up some pictures from last
year. (Disclaimer: If clowns give you the hee-bee-gee-bees you should probably not proceed.)

Everybody gone? O.K.

These guys are just clowning around. Ha. Before the show we got to go down to the floor and watch and meet a lot of performers. It was AWESOME.









Nori's favorite was pretty funny and looks almost perfectly normal. :)

These guys did some crazy stuff and it was that much cooler being a few feet from them as they did it. They got to most of these positions by flipping, somersaulting, jumping.
This last one was by far the best costume there. If you want to see more you'll have to go with us.
