Summer 2010

It is hard to believe there is only one day of school left for this year and then it is summer break! I am so excited about the summer. Summer is my favorite time of year: get to hangout at cool places with my wife, spend relaxing days at the pool and beach, vacation, baseball, softball, grilling out, and much more! Can't wait!!!!

Miami Here We Come

For the second time in four years, the Indianapolis Colts are headed to the Super Bowl! 4-Time MVP Peyton Manning lead the Colts to a 30-17 win over the Jets.

With the win, the Colts move on to face the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl 44 on February 7th in Miami.

With #18 in control, I like our chances!

Happy 2010!

Happy New Year everyone! Wow, where did 2009 go? The year went by really fast. A lot of great things happened in 2009. I am really looking forward to seeing what God has in store for this year.

As many of you remember, two of my New Year's Resolutions last year was no pop and no fries for an entire year! Wow, I accomplished my goal!!! My wife and I made our resolutions for this year, and to be honest, it is pretty challenging!

First of all, I am going to do the program Body for Life for the entire year. This is a very rigid exercise and diet plan that I have done in the past. In the past, I wasn't as serious about it as I am this year. I did this for 12 weeks three years ago, but I am going to try it for an entire year. Now, here are my New Year's Resolutions.....

1. NO fried foods (that means I can't have fries again, or any of my favorite fish places)
2. No bread, except 100 percent whole grain (this means, no more yummy Logan's rolls :( )
3. Pop only on Saturdays and Sundays (I had my first Sprite on Saturday and it wasn't that great)
4. Candy only on Saturdays and Sundays
5. Water, Tea, or Lemonade during the week
6. In the word more, memorize more verses
7. Exercise 4-5 times a week
8. No potato chips (Can have baked chips)

I am hoping to also blog more. I got in a bad habit the past several months. As you know, life is busy and there just isn't enough time in the day!

Happy New Year!!!

Notre Dame Coach

So, is Brian Kelly the right fit for Notre Dame? I personally would rather have Bob Stoops or Urban Meyer. It sounds like Kelly is the first choice for the Irish. What are your thoughts on this?

I'm Back!

I know, it has been a month since I have posted something here. With the start of a new school year, things have just been so hectic. A lot has been happening the past month, so I will try to update a little now.

1. The start of the college football season is off and running. My Irish are 2-1, could very easily be 3-0 or 1-2 right now. The loss of Michael Flyod is going to hurt, but our bench is pretty stacked. The Irish travel to Purdue this week, should be win #3.

2. The Colts are off to a 2-0 start. A great game on Monday night. The Colts only had the ball for 15 minutes and scored 27 points, are you kidding me? Our defense is still an issue, won't go far without them picking up the pace.

3. It is almost the end of September and I am doing awesome with my New Year's Resolutions. I still have not had a pop or any fries this year (not that it hasn't been tempting!)

4. The Tin Caps are the Champions of the Midwest League! My wife and I went to several games, including the playoffs. I am really looking forward to next year, I think we are going to get season tickets!

5. School is off to a great start, I really like my class and they are a ton of fun!

Summer Top 5

It is hard to believe it is August, and this really hasn't felt much like summer at all. With less than two weeks before school starts, here is my Top 5 list so far of this summer:

1. South Haven, Michigan: My wife and I love to go here every year. We love the beach, great food, shops, and just the time to relax and get away.

2. Ft. Wayne Tin Caps games- We have been to several this year and looking forward to going to more, including the Playoffs. This is a great Minor League ballpark, lots of fun, and cheap tickets!

3. Pool Days- We just really like to hangout at the pool....haven't been there as much as would have liked, but it hasn't been as hot as last year.

4. Regular Workouts- It is nice to go in the morning and get it out of the way, then you have the rest of the day to do whatever.

5. Sleeping In- It is always nice to not have to set an alarm!

Rest, Relax, No Agenda

My wife and I love to head to South Haven. In just a short year, we have had so many awesome memories here at South Haven! Not only was it the place we got engaged a year ago, it is such a beautiful place to get away to our favorite place: the beach! This week has been another amazing week. We have enjoyed just relaxing on the beach, playing corn hole, jarts on the beach, throwing the football around, and enjoying the amazing sunsets!

Tonight we are heading to downtown to watch Ice Age. South Haven has a really neat old movie theater that we enjoy going to. Tonight is free popcorn night.....can't wait!
