The one about....I know I know...I am very bad as of late about posting....

....but here is a big and good one....Well this is the day after our 3-4 inch snow that we had the first day of Spring! It was wonderful and we even took advantage of it to get our last snow ice cream out of it for this winter! I can't wait until the next snow! Man I hope we get a better snow fall next winter!......

another pic of our back yard...man it is so big and great!...the only thing that would make it better is if there was a fence to keep Halo in, heh.......

Here is a cake at the youth cake auction last Sunday! it was crazy how cool this cake looked, heh...still nothing compared to my Groom's cake at our wedding, but still cool nonetheless......

Here is a cool thing I found while walking around Best buy the other day!... all of these CDs are Christian! This was a tooth and Nails display and I think it was amazing how they got an end isle display of their CDs.... granted most of them are really heavy metal Christian, but still cool......

Well, this week I was talking to some one on my ell phone sitting in my car and I turned off the engine, but kept the key turned for the heat and radio to be on...and after the 7-10 min phone call my battery died! So I got my Sr. Pastor to jump my car, and I drove it straight to pep boys for them to put me a new one in...and while I was walking down the isle I saw this air freshener....yep it is a rosary that is scented! I could not believe it..... Amazing.....

I told my mother about a dream I had the other day and she told me she wanted to paint it...so I tried to find a few still pictures of movies that had a few scenes that might give her an example of how she could draw it...and here are a few of the screen grabs I got....the first two are of The Nothing from the movie The Neverending Story...man they did a good job on these clouds.....

and another of The Nothing.....

And lastly here is TLOTR:TTT and Gandolf is leading an army.... I loved the sun rays shining down upon them and leading their way...very cool! I wonder if the church realizes this is a good visual of the movement we are to be, but we fight with truth, grace, love and forgiveness. man I love this pic.....

Ok so I have been collecting lots of links and it is about time that I shared a few with yall like I do every so often...

Amazing hand pen feats...check out this video...it is amazing...

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

10 obscure facts about Albert Einstein

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

communion cups made out of face outlines...very cool.

---------

Jason the autistic boy who scored 20 points in 4 mins in a basketball game...this video is amazing!

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

and lastly is a article about Florence UMC and The Waters in the Cinci paper. They even have a few shots of me in there, heh.... but even though I am not 26 and in reality I am 29...I guess I can take the compliment! heh... yall have a wonderful week and God bless yall!

The one about my hamstring will be OK.....

Well, I went to the Orthopedic Dr. Yesterday to find out that I really did a number on my hamstring. It is torn and torn pretty good, but the great news is it is not torn in the wrong places, and it is not completely torn! So that means no need for surgery and lots of time for physical therapy and just normal healing. So I will contact a local PT place here and start my PT.

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

I just finished another book this morning during my quiet time and I think I just found a verse that sums up my writing! It is filled with passion and so much so that grammar has gone out the window! Thanks be to God for allow Paul to be so passionate! ha ha....

Here it is and the same blessing goes for yall too:

Romans 16:25-27 Now all glory to God, who is able to make you strong, just as my Good News says, this message about Jesus Christ has revealed his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time but now as the prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him- All glory to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen.

Thanks for the run on Paul! You give hope to all!

Tiffany with Martha Grimes and the Cicni Symphony Orchestra!

Tiffany with Martha Grimes!

Yep, that is right all your mystery book fans, Tiffany and I spent the entire evening listening to Martha Grimes talk and got her signature. I have never read any of her books, but Tiffany's mom LOVES them...so once we found out that Martha was signing books we just had to go get the book signed...and we just had to ask her all kinds of questions from Tiffany's Mom...and I know beyond any shadow of a doubt...that Tiffany's mom is going to love this gift, heh.... We even had fun listening to her even though we had no idea what she was talking about when she talked about her books, heh. Still not every day that you get to talk with a New York Times Best seller Author (several times over)...so we are tired...but still had lots of fun.....

And Saturday night we went with John and Sylvia to the Cinci Symphony, and one of John's friends actually knew the conductor and so we went to the Green room and met him. He signed the program. And even though it was not normally my cup of tea...I actually had a lot of fun and really enjoyed myself...so thanks John... Oh and the conductors name is Paavo Jarvi...and he is Estonian! If Tiffany and I would have known that we could have talked to him about Estonia, because we took a mission trip there a few years back...but oh well, still tons of fun...

Well, yall take care and God bless ya! Oh, and never forget to KUTPs!!!!

The one about a very long post, with photos and our food possibly being in a magazine!!!!

Here comes a long one... Well, here is a snow (almost covered) tree in our front yard...and yep I think this was our last snow fall of the year. I wanted to put it up so I could remember it ad hope that the memory lasts until the next one @ the end of the year. I must tell yall that I was disappointed with the amount of snow fall that we got up here. I was really wanting a lot more and so far Santa Fe was a lot better for snow. But I will hold my judgment for a future time after I have spent more time up here, heh.... I do love snow and this one even though it was not heavy was a very pretty one......

I thought this one was funny...either our window blinds have grown a tail or our cat Sushi is looking out the window, heh....oh man this really cracks me up.....

Tiffany and I about a week or two ago went to eat at a Mexican Restaurant with some friends, and Carlos the music guy let us take our picture with him! He was great and it was a very fun time had by all. We are also hoping that these finds might be able to come and join our OG with us sometime. (If yall are ever reading this...please know the invite is still open and just let us know when to pick you up on a Friday night......

About two weeks ago Tiffany and I had the 1st Start Dev. Team over to eat and here are the cutest twins you might ever meet! We had so much fun with everyone!.....

Even thought the snow might be gone...the nice thing is that this is our first flower of he season in our front yard! It came out of no where...and I hope that Tiffany and I can be better about our gardening and landscaping this Spring.... I need to go and get my herb supplies and start growing them soon! But this flower is very sweet...sorry for the blur....I was trying to take the shot while walking my dog with a old camera that can not do close-ups......

About two weeks ago (see a recurring theme here...I wonder how long it has been since I looked at the photos on my computer to post for the blog? heh) we had over the sweet couple that bought the silent auction for a romantic dinner for two and a movie @ the church! And here is the set-up that we did. We moved all of our furniture (except for the couch) out of the living room and served them in there a WONDERFUL meal! and Dang I must say it was VERY good!.... but it looks romantic right? There were candle all over the room and the lights were not on..but I had to turn them on for the picture!.....

Here is Papa Eddie (my father-in-law) wearing an Alien hat from Roswell, NM that he bought for Tiffany and I when we showed up to our interviews in NM. This was actually the first thing we saw when we came off the plane...so that sure was fun and a great greeting!.....

And here is John yesterday at our Pastor meeting for The Waters. It is amazing what we do together with napkins and red markers, heh heh..... Oh and I forgot to tell you......

While we were meeting the chef approached us..(because everyone knows us on Friday mornings) and asked if he could buy our breakfast and lunch, if we would allow a magazine to take our picture for an article about the best places to eat @ in Cinci for brunch! So, heaven yeah we would...and so Tiffany ordered the quiche (that they wanted to spotlight), I ordered a bowl of soup, and John a breakfast crossiant. Then we just had fun as normal and a guy circled us and took our pictures...mostly of the food, of course, but it was still fun! and who knows...maybe we can buy the magazine (in April)and tell everyone that that picture of the quiche was in front of Tiffany and John and I were there! heh heh....still it is not everyday that you are asked to be a model to compliment the food for a magazine! ha ha ha.... This picture is John cleaning up the cream that he spilled all over the table after we ate! heh heh... I really can't wait to see which photo out of the 150 that the guy took will make it into the mag. Still very cool though!

Well, my leg is feeling much better and I think that it is healing up...but every now and then it is very painful!.... I have stopped taking the pain pills, because I could not tell if they were working or not...so I just stopped them...and I got my MRI done Thursday and they will not know anything about my hamstring until Monday...so I hope it is just sprained and maybe a week of physical therapy will get me back up and running three times a week.
--------------
Not much else to say other than sorry for the long time between posts...with my leg and work it was hard to do one..but I will try to be better! (like I have never said that before, heh)

Well, yall have a wonderful week and weekend...and please never forget to KUTPs!!!!
