The Parentals...

My lack of blogging lately is solely attributed to my parents being in town...They've been staying with Amanda and me since Friday of last week...It's been fun...The weather has kind of sucked during the week but we've kept pretty busy...We're waiting for Amanda to get out of work to head down to Panama City for the long weekend.

Back at the blogging thing hardcore next week...

Here's some visual enjoyment from the week...

Brave's game on Tuesday night with my buddy Mike and his family and the Doche...


No trip to the South is complete without taking it to the House...

I was there before Phelps...

Because I've been stupid lazy about blogs,,,I'd thought I write about China. For those that haven't noticed, the Olympics have been on for the past two weeks. It's pretty much ruined my life in a great way...I'm really ready to get some sleep though...

In March of 2003, I took a trip to Beijing for an International Marketing trip...It was my first trip outside the states, save Mexico...It is so crazy that the Olympics have finally come to fruition because when I was there I talked to several architects and planners that were from all over the world already getting ready to build new hotels and infrastructure.

It was a blast of a trip and would definitely love to go back one day...



I've got several things to write about and i will eventually, just not now...

Buckhead Night of Worship

As I said in my last post, Amanda and I had a hot date last night for our two month anniversary. We went to an awesome Night of Worship at Buckhead Church. This night was all about worshiping, praying and taking communion. Sunday's typically comprise of a few songs so Buckhead does something like this every once and awhile...

It was phenomenal. Music was great and the presence of God was felt big time. It's so insane to hear 2500 voices in unison praising our Heavenly Father.

I was able to get in a lot of prayer throughout the evening and at one point I just said "God, I want to go balls for the wall for you". I even kind of laughed after I said it...But seriously, I've been totally luke warm lately and I don't like it. It's always great to have a kick in the tail like I did last night.

Also, last night, the team at Buckhead Church talked about the launch of the Buckhead Music Project. Basically, a lot of the musicians that play on Sunday mornings (And they are stupid talented) are going to be playing different bars, clubs and venues around the Buckhead area. It's not going to be all praise music but more of their own stuff that they've written. And I can honestly say that the musicians and singers that rock out on Sunday mornings are very talented...It should be pretty cool and hopefully spur some conversations...I'm looking forward to it...Check it out here

Two post in one night...I'm going to bed now...

Two Months and a Day...

Yesterday marked the two month anniversary of Amanda and I being married. I have to say, it's been an awesome two months. We've had all sorts of fun these last couple months and have been able to totally relax. It's bordering on laziness (at least for me) but heck, we deserve it.

Some of the things I've learned/enjoyed/need to get better at these last two months:

• Amanda is the hottest and best roommate I've ever had (Sorry Jeff, Ryan, Shags, Austin, Mac, Rye Rye, Scotty, Dave, Bourbon, Todd, Jim, Nessie)
• She's makes the bed every morning - Something I've never done
• Still working on putting the toilet seat down - That's gonna take some time
• I'm becoming the master smoothie maker in the morning (Thanks Brownman for the blender)
• I freakin' love our new bed and bedding - So blessed
  
• We are doing a great job with managing our finances

The last couple months have been great. It's so awesome hanging out with my best friend everyday and being the first thing I see in the morning.

Yesterday, while having coffee room talk with this lady at work we were discussing coffee drinking habits and I told her I didn't drink coffee until I got to work because I made smoothies for Amanda and I for breakfast...She was like "Well, that's just because you're Newlyweds." So does that mean that after a certain period of time, I can't do nice things for my wife...I think not!!! I love doing it and she loves doing the same for me...SMOOTHIES for life baby cakes...

Anyways, two months down and many many many more to come...And we had a great date night to celebrate the occasion...See next post...

My first Post in August...

Been totally weak on the blogging thing lately and I oh so apologize...

I'm in Texas right now working with my boys at Skeeter on some real cool strategic business planning stuff that they are going to unvail this fall. We are putting some awesome stuff together and I think the finished product will produce some great results...

It's crazy how booming the economy is here right now...The oil and natural gas fields are going crazy. We went to Chili's tonight (that's the extent of Kilgore restuarants) and 85% of the people in there were oil field workers...And I have to say that I have a greater respect for those dudes after watching a mini marathon of Black Gold on Tru Tv on Sunday...For the most part, the people here have no idea that the US is kind of in a recession...I'm sure as heck not gonna tell them cause they're buying boats like crazy...

I'm really stoked about tomorrow morning...A good friend of mine and his wife are scheduled for their second little dude to enter this world at 7am tomorrow...I'm headed to the hospital in the morning...Really stoked for both of them...Can't wait to see the new little guy...And to those who are curious, Amanda and I are waiting for a couple of years to have one of our own...

That's about it...

Oh, one more thing...I freakin' miss the heck out of Amanda...Now that we're married, being out of town is a lot different. I miss you baby and can't wait to see you tomorrow night...
