The one about Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!


Friday Morning John, Tiffany, and I meet up to do some Bible study and accountability, and every Friday morning there is the best Barista (lady who makes coffee) in the world @ Joseph-Beth Booksellers!!! And, so after about a few months of seeing her every Friday morning I finally got her picture...so Amy if you see this we can not tell you how much we love you and your coffee skills...John and Tiffany get Vanilla lattes, and I always get a Cafe Mocha (with whip of course)! Oh man, that is some amazing coffee...oh dang....now I am craving it and will not get any until two weeks from now! Oh well, Thanks again Amy! You rock!......

After coffee, BS (ha ha I was trying to shorten Bible Study, heh heh), and Accountability, we then had to run to the Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire movie on IMAX! It was a great movie and Tiffany loved it...then Saturday Chris and Lauren came down to watch Harry Potter on IMAX, and so we went with them to watch Harry Potter a second time on IMAX and then we met up with John and Sylvia and we all went to go get some great Sushi! Here is me with two boats in front of me!!!! I am pulling the chain making the boat horn noise!(Download that noise and then click on the picture to get the full effect!, heh!) I have always wanted to order two boats and Saturday night we celebrated my birthday with the two....Oh man, I thought I almost saw a really bright light at the end of a tunnel while I was eating....but then I realized it was just the sheer glee that was forming in my head! Look at all that sushi! Oh man....and I ate it all...Well, there were a few things on one of the boats that Tiffany ate...but mostly me baby! oh yeah! heh heh......

Here am I with Tiffany in blissful happiness...with two boats of Sushi and my wife by my side to hold me up so I can finish the boats, heh....

here is sweat Chris and Lauren to my left! Thanks yall for coming up for my Birthday....I know it was expensive for yall, but Tiffany and I can not thank yall enough!....

And of course the blog regulars....John and Sylvia...and as usual...they are hams and chose not to smile...but of course it was Tiffany taking the picture so they had to give her a hard time, heh.....

I was not totally done yet...but I wanted to show of my fat hairy white guy chop stick technique! Not many people have mastered it (including me, heh) but sure makes for a stinking great picture, heh....oh and yes that is the first boat sunk by the Hollums' mouth, and what of the second one?.....

yes.... I decided to take the other one out as well....and as you can see the boats were nothing for my strength of mouth and stomach, heh.....

But alas, the war had casualties on both sides, heh..... Tiffany told me to get in a funny pose...so I did, heh......

If you have seen Starsky & Hutch the latest movie you might recognize "The Dragon"("Big Earl: Alright guys, I'm not gonna lie to you. This is gonna get kinda weird... Two dragons.")! Rarely seen, but with that much Sushi in me, I had to show it off to those around me who sat in utter amazement...and laughter, heh.....

and Tiffany decided to make a snow man out of Wasabi, with two eyes, and ginger cape! Kind of impressive...all together now (to the tune of Frosty The Snow Man)......"Frosty Wasabi, was a little green blobbed man, with a ginger coat, and a mouth of old, and two eyes made up of holes".....heh heh..... yeah a humor only those who know Tiffany can appreciate! Thank you girl for loving me and making my Birthday so wonderful...Horrible lyrics and all!.....

And lastly, since today (Sunday the 20th) is my actually Birthday, I wanted to show off the children's kings Kids Choir that put on the "sermon" this morning! It was GREAT! they did so well, and I am not sure if you can see it, but in this picture they are all playing kazoos, heh heh...... Well, I am very tired and I must get some sleep...Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday today, Tiffany, Gary, Sherrie and hubby, Val, Lisa, The youth Group, Mark, Daddy and Momma, Aunt Harryette, Nanaw and Tom, Greg!!!, everyone else who I do not purposefully forget...but just allow my mind to wonder aimlessly into depths of forgetfulness, heh.. Love yall and and I can not express to everyone how much it means to me that you actually read this stuff on this blog, heh..... Have a wonderful day and God bless yall! KUTPs!!!!

The one about the UMC Y.A. Summit in Nashville, visiting friends and Halo who thinks he is king......


HOWDEY! Yep we went to the first ever Young Adult Summit in Nashville over the weekend and here is me pointing to a picture of Minnie Pearl and one of the actual dresses she wore on the Grand Ole Opry! No I am not a country loving type of guy...but even I remember how great Minnie Pearl was and her famous words! Kind of cool if you ask me, heh....

We stayed at the Opry Land Hotel. (here are some 360 views of the hotel too)..and I can not even express to yall how amazing this hotel is...I have been in it several times before, but they just keep adding to it each year...and we were even blessed to start to see some of the Christmas decorations they put up every year...now that is stinking amazing!


Here is Tiffany in the Gibson Guitar Shop in The Opry Mills Mall! That is one huge dobro guitar up there, heh....this was an amazing shop...an d I know that any guitar lover wishes they could have been there, heh.....there was even a huge stage and bar in the back of the place...amazing......Jamie was in heaven, heh....

Here is (left to right) David, Tiffany, and Jamie who went with us to the summit. We had a lot of un and tons of amazing discussions...mostly David and Jamie discussing...and Tiffany and I laughing while they "talked" heh heh.... but I had a lot of fun joining in on the talking they had every now and then and for the most part I agreed with Jamie, heh... just kidding David...I agreed with you some of the time too, heh.... This is Sharky and he sits on the bench of the new Seafood restaurant in the Opry Mills Mall, but we did not eat here...we decided to go eat at the Rain Forest Cafe! Most of the time to eat at the Rain Forest Cafe it is a huge wait...but since this seafood place opened up the wait was non-existent for the Rain Forest Cafe, heh...good times.....

Here is one of the young adults knocking David to the ground and Jamie is helping him out...I am not in the picture...because I am trying to talk to some people...and right in the middle of the convo I was having Tiffany runs over to me and begs for me to hand her the camera so that she can take this picture...she thought is was so funny...and therefore how it got on the blog....and yes girls Jamie and that other guy are single, heh......(but sadly (I know I know) David is happily married!) heh....

the on our way back to Cold Spring, we had just enough time to go eat with Evan...and out of no where Chris and Lauren showed up! Tiffany of course loved seeing everyone and it was a lot of fun to eat with them all....and you can see how much Tiffany loved it, heh......

Here is the sexy Tiffany shot...woo woo girl...sorry boys she is al mine! heh heh....but you sure can tell that we love these guys like they were our own!.....

And lastly we had some great friends of ours here in Northern KY keep Halo for us while we were gone...and as you can see they have a dog too...a much larger dog...and yes...that is Halo playing with a dog that could rip his skin apart...and Halo is playing just like he was the one in control, heh...silly dog...heh....and tons of thanks go out to Courtney and Kelly for loving on Halo and taking care of him while we were out....oh and Brittany (the dog too) heh....

=============================

Anyone (at least when I went there) going to Seminary had to take a Myers-Briggs Personality test and I found a take off of the real one (the real one is much longer and costs a lot of money, heh) but here is one on the internet and I thought that yall might like to find out what your personality is! So go on...take the test here....be very honest and.... let us know what you tested to be.... I, in this test, was labeled a ENTP. and what is an ENTP you may ask? Here is the description of my personality:

ENTP (extraverting, intuiting, thinking, perceiving)
Outspoken and thrives on challenge and debate. Enthusiastic, charming, gregarious, and witty. Values freedom and independence. Innovative, enterprising, and resourceful. Spontaneous and impulsive. Risk-taker who is alert to all possibilities. Inquistive and curious.
Typical Occupations

So, do you think the test was correct in its assessment of me? will it be true of you? I would love to know! Thanks!

---------------------------------------

Well, that is it for this week..I guess unless something just really pops up and I just have to post it......It has been a long time since I have told yall this...but please know my gratitude ad love for reading and even caring about me! This really does kind of fill a small hole in my heart for desiring to be in touch with everyone in my life at the same time...I wish I could take you all to Disney World and just run around for about 2 weeks, heh.... I want you all to know that I appreciate and love you all....and I want you to know that I pray every day for anyone who reads this blog....how blogs can give you that promise that you are being prayed for by just reading a blog? heh....yep....I love ya and so does God in this very moment! Thank you all for everything you do for me and your prayers for us as well!

and so just like every email signature I send out says,

"May you experience love, grace, and peace flowing from the arms Christ has wrapped around you!"

Good night! God bless...and KUTPs!!!!

The one about Fall, and a 3-D Chicken....


Fall is here and I was overcome with the peace that my backyard brought to me the other day and I took a picture of it...I know that my Mom would freak out over all the trees changing color...and I know there is no way to capture the change...so enjoy the fallen leaves and take a deep breath and know that you are loved and thought of this day! (by me, heh...and God).....

OK, I don't think that I can express to yall how amazing the 3-D was in Chicken Little 3-D!!!! It was just as good as all the 3-D shows in the thee parks everywhere....except instead of being a 5 min. ride...it was a full movie! The movie is very funny and a great cute show...but if you live near one of the 100 or so theaters that have the 3-D showing of the movie then I can not encourage you more to go treat yourself to this amazing new way to view movies....(and it is not the red, blue glasses of yesteryear...these glasses look just like the glasses the Chicken Little wears in the movie and the 3-D is spectacular! GO SEE IT...if there is a theater near you! ......and while I was in there buying tickets for Chicken Little I went ahead and bought Tiffany IMAX tickets for Harry Potter on Friday the 18th (for her birthday on the 30th!) I bet that will be great too, heh.... Well, yall have a great and blessed week and please never stop KUTPs!!!!!!!

The one about the Halo Hotel, new design, and a new fashion self....


So I was at a Greenhouse conference this past weekend and I had to bring along Halo my dog because Tiffany was out to town visiting her sister and family...and since we could not think of anyone who actually had a fence that could keep Halo in...I just took Halo with me to the conference! He loved the hotel room and as you can see he moved the pillows around to suit his own needs during the day, heh...I think he was OK, heh......

angry Halo because of a camera flash...

so who can guess what fast food place this is? Well, just past the airport parking garage in Columbus OH is this place....

Here is another guess shot....with a hot girl in this picture, heh.....

Well, if you guessed McDonald's you would be right! yep frankly huh? It is a very nice Ikea designed place now, heh....this one was much more geared towards adults...and there was no play land in this one...so that makes sense...but still t is NICE! In the very back of the picture just behind the McD's sign is a sitting area with arm chairs just like you would find in a Borders or Barnes N Noble bookstore!!! Just in case you want to eat your food in your lap or drink a coke and chat, heh...and now check out this shot below......

What is that? A LCD TV just beyond the lights? yep! Two of them there is another one on the other side! Oh man...now this is a cool McD's if you ask me! I should have checked to see if they had High Speed internet while I was at it, heh!....

And lastly, I thought I would show you all my reinvention of my dress self! Yeah sounds weird...but I decided that I really want to start being in the world so I can better show people how not to be of it! So...I got to absorbing myself into men's dress magazines...yeah I know some of you might think that a little ...huh....not manly...but I really am and always have been a lover of culture and so I wanted t be a better lover of the dress culture in the US...and so with my birthday money I bought a leather blazer some new shirts, blue jeans,and some shoes that I pray will not wear out on me, heh...but I thought I would share with yall my "new look", heh....and to tell you the truth..I like it...and it does allow me to be me...now I will not talk about the pose that I am in, heh.....Cody my hands are off limits in the comment section, heh.... Love yall and take care! My wife is back in town, and so I want to go hold her to sleep tonight! God bless you all and please know to never stop KUTPs!!!!!!!! God bless yall!
