Build A Sign

By ⋅ October 18, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Over at Weekend Kindness I just got done giving this week’s mission– Making a Sign to Say I Love You.  But how can you go about this? Well, one way is to go and get some paper and drawing it yourself, which is fine, but you can also go and get it done professionally at [...]

How I Got Engaged

By ⋅ September 5, 2007 ⋅ 8 comments

I’ve started a new meme over at Weekend Kindness asking “What’s Your Story”– How you got engaged.  Since I started it, I think that it is only fair that I share my story as well. The funny thing about my engagement is that there’s an official story and multiple side stories.  You see, from pretty shortly after [...]

What I Love About My Wife

By ⋅ November 20, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

This week’s assignment was to write a letter to our spouse telling them why we love them so much. It’s a challenge for me to get much time to do something in secret– especially with all the time that I take in writing blog posts!– so this was something extra special for me to write.

Calling a College Friend

By ⋅ August 21, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

This weekend I called a college friend that I haven’t called in quite a while. A little backstory: He and I were roommates my freshman year. He was a sophomore. We stayed close all the way through college, trying to arrange to be in the same prayer group and on the same floor. Even after [...]

Weekend Kindnesses

By ⋅ August 15, 2006 ⋅ 5 comments

I know, I’m late. This weekend was full of the unexpected. I was to be away this weekend, enjoying some time with family. That amount of time grew as events happened that were completely out of our control– but kindness was shown along the way, and though I didn’t get to the mission, I will [...]

A Boss Gets Some Candy

By ⋅ August 7, 2006 ⋅ 4 comments

Well, I had all good intentions of going out and completing this mission this weekend– but if you read my Thursday Thirteen you owuld have seen just how much there was to do, and the budget was already looking grim. So, I wrote in the original description the first time I did this act of [...]

It was more than a year ago that my wife and I decided that in order to get out of the debt that we had accumulated and to accomadate our growing family we were going to have to sell the two cars (including my beloved 2 door Saturn SC2 with moon roof– the works) that [...]
