Days go by....

I've missed you, friends. Its been almost a month since I last wrote. Pretty crazy, but it doesn't really surprise me. Days are flying by.

Remember in school when it seemed like the Spring Break would just NEVER get here? And summer seemed to last a lifetime...and those little red and green construction paper "countdown to Christmas" chain links only seemed to make the days before Christmas pass slower.

What the heck happened?!

I remember Dad saying once when I was younger that life flies by faster as you get older. I always thought, "Oh, that crazy guy doesnt know what he's talking about". But HE DOES.

(I feel the need to interject that if we were chatting in person, I would have said that last sentence like Nacho does in the movie "Nacho Libre"... you know, when he's talking to Sister Encarnacion... "They think I do not know a butt load about the Gospel, but I DO")...

I just movie quoted in a blog. Is that totally uncool? Dang...

Case in point.. time flies. I cut back on my hours at work in order to slow things down a bit. In case you are wondering, here's how my newly found free-time is being spent...

a) Stayed up after working all night to buy Coldplay tickets for the Houston show... only to find out yesterday morning that they just announced a Nashville show. Not sure what Im gonna do yet, but if anyone in Houston is interested tickets, I have four. I can't wait to see them live.



Section 108. $150 each.

b) Training for the Music City marathon. Im up to 6 miles. About 5 weeks to go. I've actually really started enjoying my nighttime runs (mom, if you are reading this, no I don't run by myself at night). My most recent playlist includes...

- Absolute: The Fray
- Rain Down: David Crowder Band
- Human: The Killers
- Shiver: Coldplay
- Psalm 118 (This is the Day): Shane and Shane
- White Lights: Deas Vail
- Say You Will: Kanye West (yeah I know, don't judge me:)
- Crystal Ball: Keane
- More to this Life: Steven Curtis Chapman (Abbey Road Sessions album)


c) Became an Arbonne consultant... as if I need any more stuff to do. Its actually kind of a fun release from other responsibilities of work and school. If things go according to plan, this will be me in a few years:)


d) Learned three new songs on Expert level of Guitar Hero. If this doesn't say something about my ability to spend my free time wisely, I dont know what does.

e) Attended my first NHL Hockey Game! Free tickets are always a great excuse for a Preds game. It was so much fun! ...even though we lost. Go Preds!


f) Latest new dishes for "Eat-In Thursdays" (our weekly feasts for four):
- Beef skewers and veggies on the new stove-top grill
- Ice cream cake made from ice cream sandwiches.. (OMG...so good)
- Homemade peach tea


Thats about all I got. Life is fun. If you are reading this from somewhere other than Nashville, I probably miss you tremendously though. Come...like now.
