Michigan does not get a rematch like I was hoping.  And frankly I think that every OSU fan and player are very happy about that...because I'm not to sure they could have beat Michigan again.  But I am not like every other UofM fan out there...I am not going to whine about this, I think that the USC vs. Michigan game will be very entertaining, and I just hope that Michigan wins that game! 

Well, I could hang my head and feel sorry for my team...or I could let myself get caught up in the excitement of Christmas!  I think I'll choose the second one.  Today was my day off, so let's just say that I got some valuable Christmas shopping done.  And I had great success!  Who needs "black friday".  I also found myself having to order a lot of things, and so the Christmas tree may not have as many presents under it for Emily as I had hoped it would today...but in a week, it will be bursting out with Gifts. 

I hope everyone has a great Christmas!  Leave me some love letting me know what you hope for the most this Christmas.  God Bless!

just incase you forgot....I STILL LOVE MY MICHIGAN TEAM!

Dear Diary,

Well, I want to be the first to post on my xanga site.....CONGRATULATIONS LEE AND STEPHANIE!!!!

Life here is just as exciting though.  It seems that youth group is going very well, the Lord keeps blessing by adding to it's numbers...and so I am happy with that!  Emily and I are doing great, she is still my beautiful bride....but there is one thing I want to do, and I need your support on this.

I want to lose some weight.  I have never gone on a diet before, so the discipline isn't really there; I want you to nag me, check in on me, and push me to do this!  I will lose 15 lbs by the new year with your help.  

Well, enough about that.  I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving. 

I am most thankful for:

1) My wife

2) My ministry

3) My family

GOD BLESS!

Wow, has it been a long time since I last updated this thing!  But Emily has been doing an awesome job in relaying all of life's joys with you (my devoted readers).  So, I don't have too much to say about anything new in life....however I do have some good picture to post.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy these picture.

That's me and my wife at Lucy's wedding. 

Welp, until next time. 

Two things:

1)  3 days till Disney World!  Woohoo

2)  Emily got a brand new high powered automatic digital camera...and here is the first picture we took with it!
