two sides of Jenna

Proof....

that my daughter already likes college basketball.

Facebook Show

If you haven't noticed facebook.com is taking over the world. This is a podcast by a couple of Crusade staff. Check it out...you'll appreciate it if you're on facebook already. I laughed out loud.

Stranger than fiction

Jody and I watched the movie 'Stranger than Fiction' saturday morning at 9 am (we're on baby schedule still). It was one of my favorites. It was well written, with smart humor...plus I thought Will Ferrell was great as Harold Crick and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Ana Pascal.

The blog

It used to be that I wrote this blog to keep my mind sharp, be creative and write winsom antecdotes. Now all I've got is vain effort to randomly update current events in my life. Having a baby has sucked the creative juices out of my body.

My first car

I bought this car (1984 Toyota Corolla) when I was 15 1/2 years old. I paid a whopping $500 for it... ....Yesterday I sold it for $600. I'm now 28 years old.

The madness of March

I get a little obsessed this time of year with the Men's NCAA basketball tourney. Things go from bad to worse if my wife beats me in our tourney pick 'em pool.

Friends of ours at WSU

Check this out it's a story about a friend of ours, Melissa at Washington State University. Great insight into dorm ministry. We do alot of similar stuff here at MSU. The strange thing is that I graduated high school with her husband Bobby. Bobby is in fact the funniest person I've ever known in my life.

The weekend

My daughter went for her first hike this weekend in Big Sky, MT.

She got a little tired walking 1.5 miles so I had to carry her.

The trail got a little intense and we had do pull out our ice climbing gear...don't worry Jenna was fine.

I'm getting old

I honor of my 200th post....

"I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said." -Alan Greenspan-

Jack Bauer

We've been using Netflix since we got back in town and in the last two weeks we've gone through 16 episodes of '24' season 1. What's nice is that each episode is only 42 minutes long. Can you imagine that during a single episode of '24' that airs on broadcast tv there is 18 minutes of commercials! That's crazy.

Anyway, the show is good....leaves you hanging...thus the addictive nature. Although there are some inconsistencies, like how Jack can drive all the way across LA in 8 minutes. Last week while I was giving Jenna a bottle in the middle of the night I caught myself wondering if Jack Bauer's family was going to be alright.

Collide 06 Closing Video

This is the closing video of the 2006 winter conference in Portland. A friend of mine named Brent Powell made this! Check it out.

New pictures

I vow to be a better blogger....starting now. This picture says...."I'm to lazy to put on my pants."

Survival mode

People ask us all the time, "How are you doing?" To which we respond with a rousing yawn and nodding off.

In reality we're doing pretty well handling the little girl. I miss sleeping more than 3-4 hours at a time. Life definitely changes....it's amazing how little I can accomplish in a day now. We'll find our groove soon, I hope. Thank goodness for our church family who has been bringing us great meals!

Jenna is doing great. Eating, sleeping and pooping...and occasionally laying around staring at any interesting large objects. That's her routine...not mine (in case you were confused).
