So our friends Tyler and Jillian were over the other day and told me to Google the words “Crazy Hair”. I did, and you’ll never guess what showed up:
That first result there — yeah…that’s me! And 10 year old picture of me with a crazy hair-style is the #1 result for “Crazy Hair”. I don’t know how long that will last, so I figure my best bet is to take a screenshot to save my 15 minutes of fame for all of history.
Totally random post — but I just had to.

The team over at BBQ War is growing. This week the challenge was Dessert BBQ. Super fun idea, and incredibly tasty! Here’s my entry:

Recently a few friends and I have gotten into a bit of war over twitter debating who makes the best BBQ. One of the guys decided to do something about it and registered http://bbqwar.com. It’s a pretty cool site where we can showcase our creations. Go check it out and vote for your favorite dishes.
Here’s one of my submissions:

There are a few new things going on for me. Life has been moving at high-speed so I’ll just list off a few cool things that have been going on.
Life is crazy. Life is good. God is wonderful.

Life is moving at an incredible pace. I can’t believe my little angel Isla is turning 1yr old TOMORROW! She is such a sweetie, but growing up fast. She’s a crawling monster and is starting to experiment with standing. Soon enough she’ll be running around like her big sister.
Happy Early Birthday to my sweetie-pie Isla!
On another note, Kesha and I had a date-night the other day. What she didn’t know as we got in the car is that I had bought tickets to the Dave Barnes acoustic show in Eugene, OR. We had a nice drive down and then spent a couple hours listening to our favorite artist in the whole wide world. I am totally stumped for why this guy is not more popular. I can listen to any song on any of his CDs and love it. His stuff is just great. If you haven’t yet, check him out!
Here are a few pics of our night out.

Cohen got her first “Big Girl Bike” this weekend. She’s already a pro! Check out this cute video of her decked out in her biking gear while singing “By Myself” (from Barney).
By Myself Lyrics
I can do it
There’s nothing to it
I can do it by myselfI asked for help when I was small
Now I’m big, I can do it allFeeling proud as you can tell
I can do it by myself

Today is my last day at the Courthouse Athletic Club. I have been offered a position as an Experience Designer for Waggener Edstrom in Lake Oswego. I am really looking forward to the move. I hope to inspire, be inspired, and grow a ton in my new position.
There is only one real downside to this all. Even though I will be working the same hours as I am now, I will have 2 hours worth of driving each day that I won’t be able to be with my girls. As it stands now I only get to see Isla for 1.5 hours before she goes to bed on the days I work. Now it will be less than an hour. We’re trying to push her bedtime back a bit so that it’s not so bad. I already miss her.
That being said, I’m still very excited for this new adventure and all the opportunities it opens for me and my family.

Yesterday was the first official Tweetup I’ve been to. Thanks to my friend Rob Mcguire who organized the event, we had over 20 folks show up at Venti’s Cafe yesterday for a great time of food, drinks, and fun.
It was nice to socialize with some folks that I only know virtually. Can’t wait until the next Salem Tweetup!

I hit the road from Salem on Sunday morning with Chad and Randy and we arrived in Denver last night. We are in town for a Church planting conference. We had a blast on the drive up. We spent yesterday night with some old friends in Boise, ID – which was a huge treat. I love the Norris Family!
Anyway, all three of us forgot to bring any sort of camera other than those on our phones, so don’t expect any great pictures. But we will certainly create a lot of fun memories, and hopefully be inspired by the conference.
We have a free day today before the conference starts. So we’re hitting the town and are going to try to find some fun things to do.
If anyone knows of fun things to do in Denver, be sure to leave a comment.

I don’t know why, but I think this is one of the funniest clips ever. I LOVE the Office.
