I love video games. I have ever since my first experiences with my friend's Atari 2600 back in the early 80's. I remember going to mall with my mom and hanging out in the arcade watching people play Super Mario Bros. and Paperboy while she shopped. The real beginning, however, is when my friend, Joel, and I discovered the game Castlevania at the local convenience store. Many days after school we would head over there and see how far we could get in that game. We loved it; it was the best game ev
I am really hoping to have a lot of updates over the next few days, and expect this post to be edited with those as they arrive. I have just put up a new blog section with my first blog entry. My college class requires me to come up with a questionnaire on the usability and quality of this site. Along with that, I am going to add a what's new section, a map of where Kelley and I have lived and visi
Well, here it is, the much delayed debut of my blog. In this I hope to share my thoughts about various products, websites, and world happenings. I hope any who read this gain something from it. Well, without further ado, here I go.
The first item on today's docket has to be baseball. More specifically, it has to be the Major League Baseball playoffs. The California Los Angeles Sunshine State Angels of Anaheim and other nearby cities eliminated the New York Yankees Monday night in a
Kelley and I have dived into school full-time at the University of Bellevue (probably a good reason why this is the first post in almost two months). We are finally getting into some sort of routine here in Nebraska. Kelley has a part-time job that is working out well for her and providing us a nice financial boost. I want to welcome my fellow college students who will be visiting this website (as it is now my class project). Please look around and enjoy. Suggestions for improvement are always w
Kelley and I finally arrived in Nebraska almost two weeks ago and we are finally getting settled in. The base housing units we were offered turned out to be dumps, so we got a nice apartment instead. You can see our pool by looking at August's pic of the month. We think we have found a church and Kelley is looking for a job and will resume school in about two weeks. I have started my new job and will supervise two troops for the first time. We are loving the high speed internet and digital cable
I will follow Kelley to the states in just a few days. I am very excited. Tomorrow, the movers come and then Thursday I leave Iceland for good. It has been a long two years! Our vacation is going to be lots of fun and Nebraska should be good as well. We will have our laptop with us, so expect a few sporadic updates to the website over the next month when we have the time. Also, we will have consistent access to our email, so email me or Read More / Rate / Comment
I am glad to be in Ohio spending time with family and friends. I missed Buckeye. I am busy finishing up my 10th class through UOP. Now that I have survived Iceland, I must share that I have a great appreciation for the United States. GOD BLESS AMERICA! In celebration of my return to Ohio, you must view a picture of DJ in a Buckeye jersey. We made a bet and he lost so he had to wear the jersey. You can see how happy he is about it.
Kel has less than 4 weeks and I have less than 8 until we are out of here. We are very excited! Plans are coming along nicely. In bowling news, Kelley made a 6-7-10 split in league a couple weeks ago (very hard to do), and our team is currently in fourth place entering the final week. Our team name is Bowling for Dummies and you can see the image I made for the back of our bowling shirts as the picture of the month for May. Fantasy basketball season wrapped up with Kelley narrowly edging me in t
I graduated from 7-level school on Friday, April first. Before I could, however, I had to brave a crazy flood. It rained here in Mississippi for nearly 24 hours straight. I am staying at the same hotel as several of my classmates, and we realized we would be unable to get to school at the normal time. We drove our cars to a raised area in front of the hotel and bailed the water out of them. Then we waited for the water to go down and finally we able to get to school a little before 10 (almost 4
I am writing this post from my hotel room in Biloxi, Mississippi, my home for the next two weeks. I have been here just over a week and I am already wanting to get home. I would have never thought I would be so eager to get back to Iceland! I miss Kelley quite a bit. Being back in the states in just not as enjoyable without her to share it with. Our time in Iceland is getting short and we are actually getting excited to move to Nebraska.
