| Well... I've almost posted many times in the past 6 months, but every time I think about it, I just happen to be away from my computer... or in the middle of something. Then there's the dilemma of trying to catch up on what has happened since your last post...but then who's got time to read 6 months worth of buying a new house, renovating the old one to put on the market, anxiously awaiting news of the old one to sell, Anamieke's astounding progress (popping out her 3rd tooth as we speak... actually, she's sleeping alongside a very beautiful sleeping Marzooky at the moment), travelling with work, my parent's 50th wedding anniversary, yada, yada, yada! For all of her adoring fans, I'll also be posting new pics of Anamieke soon. I just realized I don't have the right media port on my laptop, so I'll have to download them on my work desktop when I can. So, I thought I'd write about this weekend... My brother, Jody & his son, Phillip, came all the way down here to go to the Astros/Braves game on Saturday night. It was the first time they've been to visit since Jeanna and I got married... almost 5 years ago now. It was a perfect boy weekend. They got in on Saturday, and we proceded to stuff ourselves with burritos from Chipotle and go to the "All American Classic Car" showroom in Conroe. I've often passed that place and wanted to go in, and could think of no better time to do so than this weekend. They had everything from a completely restored and cherry 68 Camaro RS to a Porsche Ruff (one of 2 made- yours for only $165K) to a SWEEET 72 El Camino SS. This made for great boy time to get us ready for the game Saturday evening. Well, it was a great game and I'm glad to say the 'stros won, which was not the outcome that my brother and his son were hoping for. But, the awesome fireworks display following the game did away with any ill will and we all rode back to "the Woo" in my li'l red pickup truck (oh yeah, another event of the past 6 months - bought a truck  ) Well, they flew back to Nashville today... and we went to church, then slept most of the afternoon. Ok, that's it for my first post back. I'm sure I'll post on poliltical stuff as things stir me up, but mostly what is consuming me these days is the Holy Spirit. Another huge thing that has been happening over the past 6 months has been an re-awakening in my spirit to the things of God. It's really been quite refreshing, and what is on my mind most of the time (along with Marzooky & Mieke). So, for any of my post modern or non "churchy" folk drop by on one of those posts... please bare with me and join in the conversation... as always! |
Anamieke is the perfect travel baby. So with the exception of my first ever bout with altitude sickness, the trip was just what the doctor ordered.
