wow, what a crazy past couple months! wait, i guess it's been more than a couple. too much is going on, our church has started its first multisite campus, New Vision so things have been crazy getting that up and running. everything at work is changing, we are becoming one with dendrite as a result of the acquisition so things are moving to new jersey, virginia, and georgia. debbie is almost finished with her nurse practitioner degree, only 7 more months! i don't think i could be more proud, there's no way i could put the amount of time and effort into school as she does.

the mustang went for its first ever photo shoot about 2 weeks ago, thanks to a friend from work, Sam Horton, and his friend Leo Aquino. I've compiled all the photos and designed a completely separate site for the mustang - www.the-stang.com, check it out.

yay! i finally updated the website. a lot has happened since the last post in march, ryan is now married for one; congratulations ryan and susan on the awesome wedding.

this past weekend we went to cj pony part's bi-annual crusie/drag day. it rained part of the time so that wasn't great, but we did manage to get about 10 runs in. the turnout was pretty good to, with about 20 cars showing up. debbie took a bunch of video and pictures which i have finally posted.

debbie and i are still in the process of having hardwood floors installed, check out the pictures here.

both debbie's roomates, katie and marcie are pregnant. debbie went to katie's baby shower this past weekend so there are a few pictures from that as well.

i was checking out some videos on google and came across this one. all i can say is wow, the skill of these guys is amazing. i can't believe how they can do some of the sings they do. i usually don't post this kind of stuff, but this one was especially worthy :-)

debbie is sick and has a big test tomorrow :-( a couple more weeks and we will be in florida for her cousin's wedding, although i think debbie's primary goal is getting as tan as possible... wait, that's her goal normally!

ok, make that three new poems from my grandpa in the misc section.

on a side note, the turtle has relocated to a better home. "speedy" has been renamed "buddy" by his new owners. he is getting much more attention and even gets out of his tank to play with the new owners kids. don't worry, debbie wouldn't let him go unless it was too a good home :-)

my grandpa is on a roll, he has two new poems in the misc section!

i'm really starting to go into mustang withdrawal, the jetta just isn't cutting it anymore :-) my right foot is getting heavy. oh well, i guess i will tolerate a few more weeks of snowboarding... i haven't broken anything yet so i'm still good.

if you're interested, check out the new site i'm working on for pain specialists of the greater lehigh valley. it's my first use of the full css standard, which probably means absolutely nothing to 95% of you :-)

wow, where did january go? i can't believe that february is almost over now too. things have been busy to say the least. i know, what else is new right!

well, debbie and i renewed our vows at church last sunday, it was awesome. God has really blessed me with an incredible wife. she is an amazing woman and there isn't a day that goes by i don't find something else i love about her. a good marriage is not something that happens by accident, it takes a lot of work but is totally worth every bit of effort and love.

pictures are up from the new years eve party, amanda and doug's wedding, and some new miscellaneous additions. also, my grandpa has a new poem up in the misc section!

we are back from oxnard, california (north of la) after visiting with my parents, eating a lot of banana pudding and playing with the cats for the holidays. we had a great time while we were there, my parents house is awesome and will be even cooler when they finish the development they are in. it's a new marina community and my dad even bought a boat to fill his slip with :-) we went on a whale watching tour which ended up being a dolphin watching tour, very cool. on saturday we visited universal studios which was awesome as well. hopefully i will have pictures up from that tomorrow.

for now, pictures are posted of both our christmas in la and christmas in pa in the photo gallery section.

christmas in pa was spent at tom and loretta's enjoying the awesome cooking and then followed up with much digesting at the bidwell's house. of course we watched national lampoon's christmas vacation.... a tradition at this point.

all in all, it was a great christmas!

check out my grandpa's new poem in the misc section!

tis the season! christmas is appoaching, black friday is over and all the shopping is done... well almost. the goal is to be done this saturday, we'll see. i spent last weekend hooking up the new surround sound speakers i got at circuit city on black friday, i love a good deal. of course running all the wire under the carpet was another thing. debbie and i bought a new digital camera as part of our christmas present to each other, although after we sold the two old camera we had it worked out to be an even better deal. if you are looking for good deals online, make sure you check out pricegrabber.com and froogle.google.com

debbie and i went to cj pony part's fall drag day on saturday and it was a blast. the weather was perfect, the drive was great, and there was a good turnout of cars. the stang went a best of 13.9 @ 102 but my previous run was a 14.02 @ 103 so i know it still has a little more in it... if i learn how to drive that is :-)

first, a couple site updates: pictures are up in the gallery for heather's wedding and our visit to york to see baise joseph and heather and carlos. my grandpa sent me a new poem about northside church of the nazarene, now available in the misc section.

congratulations heather! it couldn't have been a better day for a wedding and everything was awesome.

after getting back from boston, things are finally starting to settle down. this past weekend debbie and i were able to see heather and carlos again, they were in york visiting their new nephew, congratulations to heather's brother on a beautiful baby boy!

the weather is starting to get colder... you know what that means, snowboarding season! debbie now has her own board, boots, helmet, etc so i'm really excited. plus we have a bunch of people who got season passes to bear creek so it looks to be a good time.

nothing like a nice gap in updates :-) debbie, cheri, jonathan and i all just got back from indiana where we visited heather and carlos and my grandparents. it was a blast, we also went to chicago and walked around navy pier. of course we had to visit gino's east and get some real chicago deep dish pizza too.

my parents are now both in california. it's quite a change, although we now have a nice place to vacation!
