Change is

December 2008

Sooo much has changed since last I posted - here is some updates

Our walk with Christ has been changing - and I'm fighting to give God the glory.
The fact is that none of us can succeed without His presence within our lives. Fight to choose him!

(1)
We moved!
Before Pic:


After pic:


Before was a townhouse - we were sooo blessed by the corner lot. It gave us a little more room and made moving in and out a whole lot easier. Both pictures were taken from Google Maps, which explains the mower in the before-pic and the truck in the after-pic. Also - the trees suggested by the shading on the truck were also removed - so that place on our lot is quite bald!
The after home is a rancher - a little less room on a half-acre lot. Soo much room!!
God is so faithful!

Peter has been growing! He can almost walk - backward!
He has his own face-book page (link).
And he is a continual delight to the both of us.

(3)
I'm in the middle of my second semester at Thomas Edison State College (link).
It's been an interesting thing - to juggle work, school, baby, wife, and house. Almost sounds like a modified rock-paper-scissors game.

(4)
Ruth and I are participating in our own version of the Biggest Loser.
If you wish details, please ask us in person ... or we may have a blog up about it.
Last week was our first week and team Cooper lost 19 pounds!

Ruth and I have been taking ballroom dancing!
We've learned some steps from Foxtrot, Swing, Waltz, Rumba, Tango, and one other that does not come to mind at the moment.
Other than swing, they seem to all fall into variations of a kind of square dance.
Perhaps there is an alternation of quick to slow, maybe a bending of the knee, but the basic flow is almost identical to each.
... Maybe I need to practice more ... they're not properly differentiated to me yet. Still - it's been fun and great exercise!

(6)
I continue to misspell practice and presence.
Hopefully I'll now get them right:
both end in "C" and that'll be enough for me.

(7)
I learned that FreeRice.com (link) has more settings than simply vocabulary.
This is a site that I thought initially held only vocabulary words - until I realized there are other options. It's a cyclic quizzing site and correct answers reward "the hungry with rice" (see site for details - it is interesting nonetheless) and found that correct answers can be in English vocabulary, English grammar, countries of the world, works of art, and really - not a profoundly large smattering, but enough that I think a visit to the site is worth a mention.

(8)
Well that's enough - hopefully I can get into the habit of sharing once a week

and last, and certainly least:
Here are the top 10 ways to amuse a geek

May the holidays draw you closer to Christ!
