IDK

Well it has been a wild first official week off. This week has been full of workouts, setting up for bible school, and fishing. This week I have also realized that I won't ever understand some things or some people. I went fishing with Staci and her dad for the first time this week and we had a blast. I must admit I haven't fished much since I was young because I don't like baiting a hook or touching fish. However, I learned to do both this week and can't wait to go again. We will begin our Vacation Bible School this coming week and the set looks great. I am looking forward to another avenue to share the story of Jesus Christ with Children. Please bring your kids out to Lyman UMC on Sunday for Crocodile Dock. I hope everyone has a blessed Friday.

Summer TIME

Well it has finally arrived and some how I still haven't had one day off from work. This summer is sure to fly by. We don't have huge plans as of now except to continue to workout and prepare for the 10k in November. Everyone is still doing the P90X and we are having a blast doing it. I do hope that I will get to send a few more hours at the pool this summer since last summer was ALL work. I hope all of you are doing well! God Bless!

P90X

So a group of us started this intense workout called P90X. SO far everyone is loving it even though it is pretty tough. However the hardest part is the Yoga. They didn't make that stuff for big people like me. This program is going to help me cut weight, build muslce, and train for my 10k in November with Anna. Hopefully everyone willl stick with it for the full 90 days. God Bless you all.

CGC Test

Well it was a tough task, a new environment, and a gym full of anxious dog and owners but Bricie was able to pass all 10 of her test to gain CGC certification. What you ask? Canine Good Citizen test. Bricie is now recognized by the AKC and now could go into hospitals, nursing homes, etc. I am so proud of her, I know this seems weird to some of you, but I hope to be able to do outreach with Bricie in nursing homes and children's hospitals. Staci did the test with Bricie and was the best handler there. YAY! We even got some cool goodies. It is kind of sad that we can care that much about animals, but she is our baby girl and she is smarter then most of the honor students out there. j/k.

Relay for Life

Last night was the Relay for Life night at DHS. Staci and I decided to go for the first time to support our schools while being there with our church. It was an amazing time. I want to congratulate the Byrnes High School family for a great victory for the High Schools by raising around 24k dollars so far. Cancer is something that has impact us all in some way and it was awesome to be there to help fight the horrible disease and to remember those in my family who have passes away because of it. If you have never been you may want to try and go next year.

UPWARD

It is that time of the year again. UPWARD Flag Football and Cheerleading. That's right CHEERLEADING. If you are reading this and you don't mind please pray that the program will be pleasing to God and that the voluenteers will fall into place. I will be co-directing the football and Staci will be heading up the cheerleading. Please pass this information on to any of your children in your famlies or churches. We will be accepting all participants ages 3k to the 6th grade. Please consider seeing if your kids or kids you know want to play they can sign up from the upward website www.upward.org by clicking on the play now button and entering their zipcode, or you can contact Lyman United Methodist Church.
Thanks and God Bless we need all the prayers and help we can get.

I have no name for this blog.

Well the last two nights have setup this weekend to be a pretty good weekend. Last night Staci and I went with Pastor Jay and the Shaver's to the Casting Crowns concert, then tonight we went to a concert a our church tonight with HisSong and the West-Hill quartet :). I don't know of anyone who is ready for a summer to get here more then I am.

Amy is getting extremely close to getting married :'(. Even though I am married it is still hard. I am excited for her and Jeff and pray daily that they will be as happy as Staci and I are and that they will trust and rely on the Lord for the strength to make their marriage a success.

Anna picked up her diploma this week YAY. I miss her so much and wish that she was here with is in the Upstate. I enjoy it so much when she is here (especially when she comes to church with me).

Abby is getting ready to finish up her first year at BHS. I hope that it hasn't been as painful as she thought it was going to be. It has been a pleasure to get to see her at work.

Well the kids profiles have been updated at the side of the page and Bricie will Graduate tomorrow from her Intermediate class.
