Vacation
I am on vacation this week. It started Thursday evening and I’ll go back to work on Sunday the 28th. There is lots to do around the house. Alisha has a long list of stuff for me to do including, but not limited to: paint the shutters, clean out vehicles, help clean/organize the kids playroom, super clean the house, etc.
I have some goals of my own. Mine are way better though!
- Learn CSSedit
- Finish youth website (technically that’s work, but I enjoy it and it kind of goes along with learning CSSedit)
- Create space on my Macbook Pro (down to 1 GB)
- Clean Home Office
- Finish the Fight on Legendary and achieve rank of 20 (hopefully 30)
- See a movie w/ the kids (not sure what’s out)
- Create something cool in After Effects (it’s been too long)
- Play some Madden 08 and finish a superstar season
- Have a play day with my Uncle. 2-3 times a year we get together and just hang out and play whatever console we happen to have at the time. We will probably play madden 08 and I would like to rent a wrestling game for the 360.

Great Day!
Well yesterday was awesome. It felt really cool to walk into church and go straight upstairs to the youth and not have to come back down for the rest of the day. (except to grab some of Peggy’s De-licious Sausage Biscuits)
I got to play 3 songs in the band and do the announcements as well as a game with JR. The game was called “The Finish Line” Basically Jr and I act out a movie scene but we say one quote of the movie wrong. They have to make it right. Example: Go ahead punk make my Taco.
After church we came home and Grandma got all three kids so Alisha and I could go out. Here are my twitters about it.
- Gma’s got all 3 kids, so alisha and I are gone to eat @ los arcos
- Actually… El patio’s
- How come every trip out, we always end up @ walmart?
- …and starbucks
Today we are going to work on the house like crazy.
Well. In case I got you curious. We went to Wytheville, Va. It’s only about an hour away from home. The purpose of this trip was just to get away before summer ended and let the kids have fun at the pool at the hotel.
We came up yesterday. It’s my family (wife & 3 kids), my Mom, Grandma, Uncle, and his two kids (Autumn & Eli). Everyone came up early yesterday except my Uncle and I. We came up after I got off work. When I got here, we ate at the best Chinese place ever. I say this because I have never eaten at PF Chang’s, so in my world, Peking is best!
Then we went swimming for a long time. Mia made two friends (as usual) and Luke made two friends. Luke’s friends were probably 12 yrs old each. Luke is 3.
Then we came up to the room and played some wii until it was time for bed. Still loving the wii!
This morning we woke up late (9-10). Uncle, Mia, Autumn, Eli, and myself all went to Galewinds Amusement Park. We played putt-putt golf, drove go-karts, and spent money in the arcade.
Then we ate at Troy’s Original Philly Cheesesteak. I of course got a cheesesteak. It was awesome! Highly recommended. Everyone else got a pizza.
Eli and I played more wii while everyone else went swimming. Now Tyra is asleep and the girls are gone shopping. Thought I’d take the quite peaceful moments to blog.
I’ll post more tomorrow hopefully! The plan is to go to some wildlife reservation and let the kids see all the animals. Then we will come home!
