I am so Bored

It has been awhile since I have updated this with the happenings in my life, so I figured it was time to do so. Things have been pretty boring lately. Friday night is my “nephew’s” birthday party at Dan and Amy’s. I feel so sorry for Amy, what was supposed to be a small party has blossomed into a huge party through no fault of her own. I will declare that I will not give Amy any crap tomorrow night due to this fact. On Saturday my band has a show in Blue Springs Mo, at a venue called The Link. I’m pretty excited about that. It amazes me sometimes that I get to play in a band, it was always such a big dream for me and I am so glad it has come true. So here are some upcoming things I am looking forward to. Charlie, Carrie and all the kids are coming out on a Sunday in June. I like having new friends, don’t get me wrong I LOVE my old friends but it’s always fun to hang out with new people. Besides I don’t think Charlie and I have even begun to scratch the surface of how bored we can make everyone with our passion of history. Also my mother just returned from a vacation to Illinois to see her sister. That may not seem like a big deal but she had a traveling partner…MY GRANDMA! All my mother would tell me is that she has A LOT of blog material for me so be on the lookout for that. Well that’s about all I have in my mind right now..

Updates abound

Ok I need to post today to counter balance my mushy side. There is SO much going on this weekend, well only one thing really but it will take all day. Saturday Morning Brooke and I are heading to Bolivar Missouri to see my brother in law Caleb graduate. I am looking forward to spending some time with him and his fiancée, I’m just not looking forward to all the driving. Last weekend was a blast!! I went to my good friend Josh’s house Friday night to help him prepare for the BBQ we were going to have the next day. I had to stop by the liquor store on my way to pick up some beer for the mopping sauce we were going to use for the brisket. S0 I bought the beer and I also bought some Wild berry Country cocktails because that sounded good and I bought Josh’s wife a bottle of wine just to say thank you for letting be hang out over there for 2 days. Well as it usually does with Josh and myself things got a little out of hand, we went to lowes to get some quickcrete so we could put some fence posts in at his house. We got back from Lowes and headed over to Brandon’s house to cut some of the fence posts. When we got there Brandon offered us a beer, So we took him up on his offer. We got all the posts cut and went back to Josh’s house to start making our mopping sauce for the brisket when we realized that we had more beer then what we needed for the sauce..5 cans to be exact. So we couldn’t let it go to waste so we drank them. Then we drank some of the cocktails and decided to go put in some fence posts. There we were, half sober at 11:45 am putting up fence posts when we heard some creepy music coming form the woods behind the house, it was like crazy clown ice cream truck music…I almost wet myself. We realized about 12:30am that we needed stuff from Wal-mart so we took another trip to Bonner Springs to get what we needed and made a pit stop at McDonalds mmmm!!! I finally made it to bed at 2:30am and woke up at 5:30am to start grilling. It took 9 hours for the brisket to smoke but it was well worth it.
After all that was said and done Brooke told me the my brother in law Seth was home for mothers day, so we went to applebees in Ottawa to have dinner with him. It was nice . I like seeing him whenever we can and seeings how he is moving to Colorado in a month or so we try to get as much time with him as we can. Well That’s all I got,

Last night....I made myself look stupid....as usual.

So last night was the awana closing program. It was good to see all the kids decked out in their uniforms an awards they received. Everything was going well until it came to my part. I had been working for the past month or so on this slideshow in power point of all the pictures that were taken over the year. This was no small task seeings how I had never used power point before. Well needless to say I got it done. I ran through it twice before the program started and was really excited about how good it looked, fast forward to that point in the program. Pastor introduced me and told how long I had spent on this video and the lights went out. “Oh boy” I thought this is going to be awesome. I started the music, clicked the button to start the show and reclined to watch my masterpiece..but wait a minute, the music is going but why is the screen black? Panic starts to completely envelop me. What’s going on why am I here WHO AM I!! I finally realized I had the screen on blank up front so people couldn’t see me working. Whew…..let’s try this again. I hit start and DOH! It was on the last slide…so me trying to look professional take 3 . Finally I got it to go. And I think it looked ok, but then again I am biased.

New Friends

Where to begin. Friday that’s where. Friday was a bad day. I was so tired from the night before and all the crazy storms and our power going out that I was really dragging and it was hard to get anything done. Friday night Brooke and I went to couples night at Josh and Tara’s house and we had a blast. The food was out of this world and the the company was great…well everyone except for Amy..she has an attitude. We left there around 10ish I think and when we got home I went straight to bed. I slept 11 hours Friday night for the first time in 8 years…it was AWESOME.
Saturday was nice, I went to the church around 10:30 to get all the stuff done for the service on Sunday, then I went home and Brooke, Glenna and I spent the evening together with nothing to do. It was wonderful to just all be together. And then came Sunday. Church was great as usual and the potluck…holy cow. I love church potlucks the old lady’s in the church sure can cook. We got home around one and Brooke and Glenna took a nap. SO I went fishing, I don’t think the fish like me one bit. I didn’t catch one thing…that ticks me off. Sunday night Brooke and I went to dinner at Carrie and Charlie’s house. I have to admit I was REALLY nervous. I kind of get that way when meeting new people. But we had a blast!!! I felt like we had known them for years. I do have one admission to make though. On the way home Brooke and I felt bad. We felt like we talked about ourselves to much and Carrie if we did we apologize, we were just having a good time. We really want Carrie and Charlie and the kids to come out to our house sometime. I think we have a lot for the kids to get into. Two things before I go..One, I want to go play paintball if and when Charlie and the kids decide to go..I even have my own Gun! Two…If Carrie and Charlie ever plan on going to the zoo..I hope they let us know because Brooke and I might be up for a trip to the zoo sometime..I love having new friends!!!
