Me Gusta Cheesecake Factory

It’s no big surprise that we went to the Cheesecake Factory for my birthday last night. Love me some Cheesecake!
Thanks to all for your gifts, notes wishing me a happy birthday, and even your singing of the happy birthday song. I had a great day!
Doesn’t this look good? It was!

12 pounds, 6 ounces, 24 inches

The figures above (12 pounds, 6 ounces, 24 inches) are not how much I gained after killing this cake on my first birthday. They represent how much I weighted when I was born!
Much of that can be attributed to the fact that I was three weeks late, and that my mom craved Mexican [...]

Miss the Beach

Back from the West Coast already. The trip is always fun but goes by too quick. Our camera crapped out on us, so we had to rely on any photos from our family. Here are a few shots from Huntington Beach.

My wife and I at the pier.

My nephew Ayden and I building sand castles. [...]

Surprise Trip to Cali

Airplane tickets from Kentucky to California = $450.
Surprising my family and seeing their reaction (shocked, confused, happy) = priceless!
Holding my little niece for the first time = priceless + speechless + timeless!

New Olympic Sport: Water Ball

Here is a shot of my nephew, Ayden, dunking a ball in the pool. I love it!
It reminds me of somebody.
What can I say, it runs in the family.
Water Ball in the Olympics? How about a city league movement in backyard pools first?
I’m in.

2nd Year Anniversary

For some, the first of April is known as “April Fools Day” (and believe me, almost everyone we talk to reminds us). But for my wife and I, April 1st is our Wedding Anniversary.
Why April 1st?

It fit with our schedules (weekend before spring break, thus time for honeymoon).
Was hoping for the winter, but sooner [...]

Happy Birthday Arelis

February 12, 1982, my wife was born in Venezuela. At the age of 9, she moved with her family to Kentucky. She is along way from her home country, and only time will tell where our next stop will be, but she continues her life journey with anticipation.
A few weeks ago I promised my [...]

Things to do in 08

Here is my list of things (goals, priorities, interests) to do in 2008 (in no particular order):

New blogs. Yeah…that’s right, blogs in the plural is not a typo. I don’t know if it’s a cultural influence thing or just natural, but I like variety, and it’s time to change/upgrade this blog. I have already [...]

Direction, Dream Job, and Education

Ever since I left California in January 2004, to come to Kentucky, I have been praying about purpose and direction in the present and for the future.
For the past six months, as graduation was approaching quickly, I have been actively seeking a job. My dream job is to serve the local church in all areas [...]
