Tree is up

Well I can't remember when the last time we had our tree up this early but it is up and looking good. The kids were a big help and actually decorated it with the exception of the lights. For some reason they like to put on the tree skirt, stockings, and hats and such and then decorate it, Tammy took pictures so I'll have to put them on here sometime. They even wrapped their presents for each other and put them under the tree so as to make it not look empty. Its hard to believe that it will be here in 2 weeks and 2008 will be here in 3 weeks, where did the year go?

I am getting excited for a possible new venture that is starting Friday. I am joining a band. We have no name yet and one of the members I've never met, another one I met once and the other 2 I know really well and actually got to record a song with a year or two back so I am excited about getting back in with them. Should be fun and we will see where God takes this, it might just be a get together every Friday and jam and encourage each other or who knows maybe someday we'll tour and the Teshuva will come to our show and hang out with us. Who knows but it should be fun, I'll keep you posted on what is going down.

Crazy packed weekend

Do you ever have one of those weekends where your pretty much on the go the whole time? That was the case this weekend. Started out Friday with a little bowling action with the Teshuva, which is always fun. Got to bowl with PK, Pink, Autumn, and Zach and we had fun. There were some individuals beside us from another church who when they bowled a strike they all jumped up and chest bumped each other so Pink said that is what he wanted when he got a strike. Cooked up a little plan with PK so when Pink got a spare we ran up there to fulfill his wish only to stop and turn around at the last minute, sorry Pink but the look on your face was priceless. Got home around 1 am turned on a little Aquire the Fire on tv and saw RED preform, those guys just flat out rock. Went to bed only to get up around 8 to go to Tyson's Y-league game at 9. I was pretty dead and so was he I think. They came back in thrilling fashion to tie the game at 20 with about 2 seconds left in the game. That is how it ended though no overtime.

Got home relaxed shortly before doing some running around both east and west then had a Christmas program to go to. Tickets had the church listed on them but as we found out that is not where they had the program. They had it downtown at the old Masonic Temple which is now called something else but we got there about 10 minutes into the show. It was good and that is a pretty cool old place. Sunday had church, which was awesome of course. I have really enjoyed this series The Monster Within and have done some inward examination and found that there are things that I need to fix and I thank PK for bringing these messages and solutions. Taylor had a Christmas progam which she did an excellent job, said her lines perfectly and loudly. Went to a birthday party afterwards then Youth, which just keeps getting better and better and I am getting more comfortable with my role there. Excited about tonight cause there is nothing on the docket to do except, and I am scared to say this, put up our tree. Tammy its too early.........

Well the weather outside is frightful.....

Ah yes another lovely snow, it was so peaceful when I walked outside this morning at 5:20 just a beautiful scenery with all the fresh snow and lights glowing. That was all nice and good until I started to work and within a mile of leaving town I had allready got the car sideways in two different areas and I wasn't even going over 30-35 mph. The first time was kinda woah easy killer then as I got going again I got a good look at the field to the south of 32 then a good look at the one to the north then finally I was looking the right direction. The old heart started beating a little faster and I thought here we go were going in the ditch but someone else obviously took control and got me righted. Took a while to get to work and yeah I was a little late but I'd rather be late than stuck in a ditch somewhere. Hope this all goes away before tonights youth outing and that the freezing rain they are calling for doesn't make it here. Stay safe and enjoy the view.

Ready for a little practice

Tonight is another busy one with an M & O meeting at 6 than leaving that around 7 to go for band practice for Sunday in which yes the Christmas songs will begin. I wish I could play like Gary Hoey who has a cd collection called Ho Ho Hoey where he takes Christmas songs and rocks them up on some. They are all instrumentals but he does a great job and I wish I could play like that to kind of give a different flare to these tunes. It seems that every other weekend lately I've been gone or out for some reason or another so hopefully that is over and I can get back to playing every week, cause I've been missing that.

Welcome to winter a bit early

Don't know about you but I'm diggin' what happened last night and this morning with the snow. I know people think I'm a little different for liking the snow but I always have. Don't mind driving in it as long as others around me drive with their heads on straight which doesn't always seem to happen. I really like playing in it with the kids, stems from growing up and taking every advantage of playing in the snow as much as possible. It could be sleding behind a car, snowball fights, sleding out at Prairie Creek with 3 intertubes and about 7 people on them down the hill, going out to White River and messing around, bumpering cars, or just roaming through town staying out til early morning for no reason. I like this stuff and hope that there is more in store later in the season. Go ahead and bash me, I'll be waiting with a snowball for you at somepoint.

Good time

Tyson and I had a great time in Indy Sunday enjoying the Colts-Jaguars game, unfortunately for Tyson the Jags got beat but not without a fight. We got there around 11 not too long after the doors opened and just hung out watching the players practice and run through drills. Got a quick bite and a foam finger for him then off to our seats to get ready. That place gets pretty loud (you know they pump in the crowd noise, there is no way 57,000 + people could make THAT much noise ;}) when they introduced the Colts and they came running out. We were on the opposite end of where they come out but Reggie Wayne came running over to our section and started playing with and pumping up the crowd, I found out later that where we were sitting is known as Reggie's corner. It was fun and got a high five when the Colts scored from someone I have no idea who he was just a big fan I guess. I have never seen so many Colts jerseys in all of my life, everywhere you looked there were people in Colts jerseys. Tyson had fun and now wants to play football, after its over for his age group, so we will see what happens next year.

I do think that Indy floods worse than Muncie though, we had to walk about 6 blocks in the rain after the game and I think I've finally dried out but it was worth it to get to hang with the boy for a day just doing guy stuff.

Tomorrows view

This is the approximate view that Tyson and I will have around 1 pm tomorrow except there will be about 55,000 other people there as well. Look for us on tv, Tyson will be the one in a white Jacksonsville Jaguars t-shirt. Should be fun. Go Colts.
