Kids and Christmas!

Posted on December 21, 2003 | Leave a comment

It’s so much fun to watch kids open presents for the holidays! They get so excited, why do we (adults) make it so hard for them by making them wait? It’s really great, the holidays are so much better with the kids running around. All the kids were extra good this year with hugs and thank you’s and such, that makes it all worth it…

And you never know what present is going to be the hit. Some 3D National Geographic ViewMaster-type toy made the rounds to all the kids and adults. So if you’re still shopping keep that in mind. :)

I Forgot About Fireworks!

Posted on December 20, 2003 | Leave a comment

So I forgot all about fireworks the other day when I was talking about looking into the light!

Why do I bring up fireworks when it isn’t July?!? Because I took a nap today and work up to the sound of fireworks and when I opened the blinds I could see a pretty good display. They sounded pretty close but I think the city of Dearborn must have been putting them on (which would be about a mile away). By the way if I didn’t mention it, I love fireworks! But then who doesn’t! (I believe this was an event at Greenfield Village)

And I got to see Joan of Arcadia today!

Friends

Saw lots of friends today:

  • Still got to hang out with Heather and friends. Dad made a bunch of us breakfast. And we got a lot of snow on the west side (Allegan) of the state.
  • Had dinner with Judy in East Lansing. Got ice creme and did a little Christmas shopping too.
  • Barb &Karl were in town (from Indiana) and got a bunch of us together. Saw some people I had seen before and met a few new ones.
  • And I got to stop by the Apple Store today too!
  • Got to talk to some friends on the phone as I was driving around the state…
    All and all, a great day.

    Heather is now a Deacon!

    Heather got ordained as a Deacon today! It was a wonderful service, I got to see people I hadn’t seen for ages and meet people I’ve only heard about…
    We were at The Cathedral of Christ the King in Kalamazoo. Here are some more pictures from Wes.

    Don’t Forget to Watch Joan Tomorrow!

    Posted on December 18, 2003 | Leave a comment

    Joan_ of Arcadia is on Friday at 8 PM (Eastern) don’t forget to watch it!

    Joan is a normal girl who meets God one one day and God gives her tasks to do.

    Joan is what motivated me to start blogging (from an earlier entry):

    “She gets these incredible tasks and she does them because it’s God. But I’m not sure if it’s faith or knowing that it’s all going to turn out okay (or is that faith?). Sometimes she’s done bad things to make things be good in the long run, but no one understands why it’s the ‘knowing’ that makes her stick to it, but I’m not sure if this ties into the faith since she ‘knows’. Is it a sign from god if you don’t have to interpret the signs?”

    A Few Good Things……

    Posted on December 16, 2003 | Leave a comment

    Gave a demonstration/class today on a new system (I sure hope this works!) we’re running at work and everyone was pretty happy about it. Usually change isn’t good!

    Helped someone get a really good price on a Dell computer. I really like helping people buy technology! Especially with their money!

    The other was a network issue that we never exactly figured out, but it was interesting and educational still trying to figure out what the person was doing and they were doing something but were they doing something “wrong”? We were highly entertained during the chase.

    Snowflakes are still here

    Posted on December 15, 2003 | Leave a comment

    Actually they are gone for now, but you can still Make a Flake and stay in the wintery mood! This is pretty neat/fun/unique. You can share and even browse the library.

    Technically this is supposed to be an ad for Jockey but the first link gets it full screen for you. (If the first doesn’t work, try the second.)

    I can post wirelessly!!!

    Posted on December 15, 2003 | Leave a comment

    I’m so excited!!! I can post wirelessly to my blog via the cell phone. I don’t know how often I’ll use this feature but it’s nice to know that it’s an option. I just love technology!

    It’d probably be just as easy to hook the phone up to my laptop, but I’ll sleep better knowing that I can. ;)
