Hello.  I've really fallen behind on blogging lately, because most of my "free" time has been spent either working on work stuff or working on my yard.  The yard stuff has been fun but a lot of work and $.  It gives me a good "man outlet." 

There have been quite a few highlights of the last few weeks.  For the sake of time, I will hit them in a spectacular bulleted list!

• Went canoeing with a group of college guys from Echo at the Guadalupe river
• Went camping/mt. biking/kayaking with guys from my small group.  We went to the Ouachita River close to Hot Springs, Arkansas and had a great time on our "man-sized adventure."
• Jan and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary.  It's hard to believe we've been married 3 years already!  It's been amazing and we are looking forward to the next one plus 30 years to come.
• Kicked my butt working on revitalizing my lawn.  Planted some new flowers/plants/shrubs in the backyard.
• My car broke down on me last week in the Lowe's parking lot which resulted in more $ to be spent.  The Maxima is getting close to 100,000 miles so it's to be expected to have to fork over some dough for it from time to time.  It's been a great car over the past 6 years, and I know it will continue to be so over the next 4.
• Spent a week in San Antonio for ESRI GIS training.  I got to see my grandmother and my aunt while I was there, as well as my good buddy Eric Smith from high school and his wife Natalie.  Good times.
• Did my taxes (almost done.)  I hate taxes. 
• Watched Bodie grow to a whopping 26.8 pounds!  I need to post a picture of him soon so you can see how much he has grown since we got him.

I'm looking forward to getting back on a normal schedule soon!
