I just added a Guest Book and a Poll so check them out!!

It's Ash Wednesday, a nice follow-up to Fat Tuesday. hehe It's the start of Lent, too. I don't know that I've ever participated in Lent. It's always just seemed so trite to me. People giving up chocolate or coffee and then complaining for a month straight. What fun. There are very few people that I admire during this time that "do Lent" the way it should be done. These people don't make a spectacle out of it, but they do it in secret so only their Father sees. I respect that. To be honest, I'm not really sure what the ultimate point of Lent is...I suppose I'll have to find out. And why do people put ashes on their forhead today? Boy, am I ever the ignorant one. :-)

I'm listening to Andrew Peterson today. Yum. I'm also listening to the new Dave Matthews Band cd. Yuck. What were they thinking? Oh, well...

My friend Chad got hired to work with me and starts next Monday. hehe I hooked a brutha up. I'll only get to work with him a little while though because...I'M GETTING MARRIED AND MOVING IN WITH MY WIFE. :-)

Today's "sum it up" word is: Details.

Zach or Slater. Who was cooler? I would like to submit that Zach was cooler. Slater was Zach's lackey and was nothing without him. Sure, Slater was a wrestler but that was about it. Zach masterminded everything. Masterminded?


Zach Morris. King of cool.

Here's a dilemma: If someone comes up to you and starts talking to you SO LOUDLY that you get embarrassed, what should you do?

A. Act like they're talking in a normal manner, because they probably just talk that way.
B. Grimace and take a few obvious steps backwards.
C. Shout back at them when you respond.
D. Say something witty, like, "I'm not deaf, ma'am." or "You got a volume knob on ya?"
E. Run away.

Personally, I like choice C.

It's Friday and you gotta love that. Although, this will be another full weekend for me and Jules. Lots to do in preperation for the big day! duh. :-) 21 days, baby. Golly, am I looking forward to that. Tonight will be fun, though. We're going to take some time to eat with my family and watch some old BETA(!!!) videos I found of me from when I was 11. Hilarious. I was too cool for my own good. In an absolute DORK sort of way. Tomorrow we have our second to last counseling session which should be cool and then we have TONS of work to do the rest of Saturday. Honestly, I'm looking forward to it.

I started Knowing God by J.I. Packer last night. WHY HAVE I NOT READ THIS BOOK YET? Wow, I'm only 50 pages in but it is as good as I've heard. Julie's dad got it for me for Christmas (one of many theological books he got me :-)) and I'm so glad he did. It's exactly what I've always thought about knowing ABOUT God and knowing OF God or knowing Him. It's so well written, too...very fluid and practical. I'm really looking forward to my continued reading of this book. I must be regenerated because I feel it's impact on me already and richard says that...hehe

One word to sum everything up: Schlotsky's.

oh, and I'm the mole...

Man, this weekend is going to be busy. Julie and I get our marriage license this afternoon!! I think it's going to be a blast but Julie's worried about the weekend in general so I'll have to do my best to get her in the mood and stuff. Then I have a rehearsal dinner to go to for my friend's Nate and Christa while Julie gets her first wedding dress fitting!! Very cool. I'm dj-ing at Nate and Christa's reception. Hopefully that'll go well. Then Saturday is absolutely full...breakfast with a friend for Julie, wedding band shopping, tux measuring, lunch with friends, wedding and reception for N+C...Oh, and Sunday. :-) It'll be all good, though. I'm actually looking forward to it. In the mean time, it's work as usual...

Me and the wife-to-be. :-)

I can't figure out how to get pictures to come up on here. If anybody can tell me how to do it, I would appreciate it. HTML is not my friend.

This is obviously a new Blogger site. Angelfire was doing a real "bang-up" job of hosting my Blogger stuff (catch the sarcasm?) so I switched to BlogSpot.com. So far, through 2 posts, I'm LOVING IT. hehe Since it's easier to publish with this site I'll try to post more, too. Bonus.

Only 29 days until I take the plunge with my sweetheart. I can't say how excited I am only because there are no words to describe it. We're eligible to get our marriage license which we'll apply for tomorrow! Man, this is so cool. :-) All of the "big stuff" is taken care of so now we just have all these little detail types of things to do. It can get kind of frustrating but I'm sure it's going to be well worth it. hehe Julie pointed out that we hadn't been reading any "marriage books" lately so I finally started "Intended for Pleasure" by Dr. Ed Wheat and it's awesome! The whole first 2 or 3 chapters really impacted me because it was basically a counseling session before getting into the basics of sex and whatnot. Not sure what all could be in the next 170 pages!! hehehe One thing I was really convinced of (again) is that God calls be to be a student of His Word. I want to be that, too. Study the Word and study my Wife; two musts. :-)
