Miranda and I are checking out for a week for a long overdue vacation.  As I mentioned before, we’re hitting the road, me and my wife, lots of good times.  I am bringing the computer and if any of the rooms have internet access then you may see some posts from the road, but I…

Where do I begin? I guess the first thing is to thank Blue, serious mad props to my boy Blue. Blue’s firm offered him tickets to Game 6 on Tuesday. He called me on Monday morning asked me if I wanted to go and without hesitation I said yes. He would fly in on Tuesday…

Miranda and I finally decided on our annual vacation and we’ve decided to go to Colorado and the Colorado Springs area. You can view our map of places we’d like to go here. It is my hope that I can blog and post from the road (free interenet access and breakfast are a must with…

On a complete whim, Chris and Greg called and asked me if I wanted to go to Shrevport with them. I initially declined, but then thought that these types of moments slip by me all of the time, i.e. not participating. So we hoped in the car and took off. Hetty behind the wheel. By…

Jenson and Grace make me laugh. Jenson turns two on Thursday, and we had his party on Sunday. The food was good, but there’s two funny parts. The first funny part is when we all sing “Happy Birthday” to Jenson, he gets embarassed and hides his face, and tries to act like no one can…

If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.” (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) If I had to define validation, I would probably say it is the accomplishment of something that someone appreciates. I don’t what got me started thinking about this, but I…

My cousin Tim and his fiance of a very long time (I think they’ve been seeing each other since Marilea’s wedding) finally got married. The ceremony was small and really nice. The food was excellent. In attendance was Uncle Charlie and two of his five, Charlie and Melissa, Gene and Ann, along with their son…

This is a statue outside the memorial, there is a granite inscription at Jesus’ feet which reads “And Jesus Wept.” Each chair represents one of those who died. The west end of the memorial. The inscription of names of those who died. The granite was originally in the Murrah Building. The reflection pool.

My parents and my wife and I went to Oklahoma City for the weekend for my cousin Tim’s wedding. More on the wedding later, but I knew that if we were going to go to Oklahoma City that we should really try and visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial, which is where the following took…
