Been A While

So it's been a while but I am ready to give you at least a short recap of recent events. A few weeks ago Jennie and I went to her parents Cabin in Idaho, with her brother's Paul and Josh, and her father John (Dr. Stanchfield) and mother Peggy, and Paul's wife Jen. They fished, I called my old friend Clay Ryan Hunter and talked to him. Let's see, we went to Jackson. That's the short version. Next weekend we took the kids to Classic Skating, and saw FOUR movies! Harry Potter, The Proposal (funny movie), Coraline (great movie) and Knowing.

This weekend we saw Julie & Julia, which was just great. We also went to Cirque De Solei with Peggy and Ame. The boys and Ame earlier saw GI Joe.

It got unseasonably COLD. SON OF A GUN! Dang it was cold. We had a great breakfast with Peggy at Market Street though the service sucked, the food was fantastic.

Friday night we went to Tom Mecham's house for hamburgers and a bonfire in the back yard. That was a lot of fun.

So... I know, these catch up blogs are lame. In the movie Julie & Julia the character blogs and it made me realize I need to blog more. And be funny doing it. Not lame like these. Well, I should keep writing since Jennie is over on the other side of the bed doing her facebook thing. When she starts doing that she just tunes out. She's met a lot of old friends there. All the old friends I meet mostly live out of the area so I don't get to see them.

I bought Julia Child's famouse book yesterday, and I'm starting to read it. She has some great things to say about food. The woman loves food. It's impressive. I love food too. I need to lose weight, but that doesn't stop me from loving food.

I need a project. Only I don't have time for a project. Something neat. Something of an adventure. Work is so busy and life so unsure, I just think I need to DO something. Hm... I'll let you all know how it works out. Right now I'm not sure what. But I can say I want to move forward. Which is a hell of a lot better than saying I want to move backwards. Living in the past or the future is probably a bad idea. Try to live in the now. Jesus! Yes. In the NOW!

I'm sitting on the bed with three dogs. Bo and Figgy, and Cinder. Figgy is ripping some terribly bad smelling farts.

Oh, Ame's competative Soccer team played in it's first tournament. The girls will get better. Jennie and I coached them one evening, but only as fill ins. They girls played three games, and lost 10-0, 10-0, and 4-1. It was fun, and Ame had a good attitude about it despite the losses. For that I was proud of her.

I am reading a book that Jennie recommended entitled: Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters. It makes me realize how much Ame looks up to me and needs a strong father in her life. She's a good girl, so it's easy, but I need to do the right thing by her as well.

Oppps... Jennie is looking at me. She's done facebooking, so that means I have to go. BYE !

GRIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That's for you Jennie!)
