shes back.

although there was a mix up in the flight arrangements on the return, Tori will be back tonight. Or at least very early tomorrow morning. Im looking forward to the stories.

it all comes down to this...

vs.

an awesome opportunity

Tori left for LAX this morning with the group from Sierra Vista (our church) that is going to Jackson, MS for a week to go through a seminar led by John Perkins on cultural reconciliation . The door opened for her to go this past Tuesday and now she is in route. Prayers for safe travel and a spirit filled time would be much appreciated. In other news I guess that means I'm bachin it up this week.

Hello World Part Deux!

Maybe it will work this time?

Hello World!

my hat is off...

to the Rockies. There is no way in the world that I thought this would be even remotely possible about a month ago. Then, Yorvit Torrealba and co. decided not to lose again, and became one of the most incredible stories in post season history. Not since The Big Red Machine ('79 Cincinnati Reds) has a team won 7 straight games in the postseason to advance to the world series. It gives me hope for the Mariners next year. Go Rocks!

what a night!

So, tonight we pulled out all of the stops. We made sushi with our killer sushi set that we got for our wedding. Tori also made some basil pesto, just to have on hand whenever we should want some. The wine was great and so was the mess that we made making it all. We also cleaned up the house a bit. Now, maybe watch a couple episodes of The Office Season 3 and then go to bed?

mind blowing!

tonight I chatted with a friend on the internet via his blog. way cool.

Nothing says day off like Sarah McLachlan

After I got off work this evening I realized that tomorrow and the next day are my days off. It's kind of strange to have Wednesday and Thursday as your weekend, but I am getting used to it. I was sitting on my couch (which is green andleatherish)surfing the world wide web, when a Sarah McLachlan song started playing on itunes. I chuckled to myself and thought that I would share with you. Consider yourself in the loop.23

P.S. the 23 that appeared at the end of this post was lovingly put there by Apollo. I guess he wanted to put in his two cents.

I cant hold it in any longer...

we got a kitten!!! His name is Apollo and we got him about three and a half weeks ago. He is an extremely cute (yes, I really did say cute) orange tabby. And if Tori and I weren't such dorks we would have had pictures out by now, but we lost the charger to our digital camera. He is actually chasing his tail as I am typing this out. I am ready to give up on the old charger and just buy a new one, but until that happens you will just have to trust that this is the cutest cat you have ever seen (yes, I did say cute again.)
