We have a guest speaker today...

My buddy Pat from Texas made a great post on his blog. He's not only a great computer go-to guy, but he's also a great brother and has definitely helped me through some hurdles. You can visit his blog @ http://patnolen.blogspot.com/

Just Do You
"Who are you? Better yet do you know who you are? I’m not talking about knowing your name or where you live but who you are deep on the inside. Do you know who you are? Many people go throughout life not knowing the answer to this question. They waddle around trying to be like other people. Not just trying to keep up with The Jones’ but rather trying TO BE The Jones’. Stop and just Do You. Not sure who you are? That’s ok. Being honest about it is a start. Wanna know who you are? Ask God. In Matthew 5:14 He helped a few fishing buddies find their identity. He did so with the first two words, “You Are”. Take a look around. Today there are too many people front-n. Too many people trying to pattern their life after hip hop artists and movie stars. Just going through life trying to be something their not meant to be. Life is more fulfilling when you stop the charade. However, it’s costly to just Be You. Paul Tillich said that it takes “Courage To Be”. So stop. Be honest. Ask God. Then just DO YOU!"

Pat you rock !


In other news, McDonald's is taking a "jab" at Starbucks for selling overpriced coffee. While Starbucks does have a few good items on their menu, they are hardly worth the price paid. If you own stock in Starbucks, I'd bail. THIS IS AWESOME !

What's new?

It's December !!! And we're still wearing flip flops 99% of the time. Sometimes even shorts !!

We had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends - and then woke up at 3:45am for black friday sales.. Have to say, it was a crazy, caffeine fueled morning !!

Totally looking forward to our visit to the East Coast mid-December. We'll be out that way for 2 weeks. List of places to eat: Margarita's Pizza, Giacomo's Pizza, Thrashers Fries, Friendly's etc.. We might even hit up Long Island so Tiff can check out Time Square and the sights of NYC.

So we're settling in for the night. We just got back from a nice 3 miles walk and made killer brownie sundaes. Off to movie land.

Josh has a girlfriend?

Looks like the little Josh-meister might possibly have a girlfriend !!


Uncle Blake and Sarah came down the other weekend to hang out. Josh (being the ladies man that he is) swept Sarah off her feet.



We also took a ride over to Santa Cruz for the day in search of some East Coast pizza.





Baywatch?
