Bring Favre to the Vikes!

Over the past couple of summer I could remember how sick I was of having to always hear about Brett Favre, and is going to retire or isn't he. But now that he is actually thinking about playing for my Minnesota Vikings, I can't wait to hear the next update on his current situation. There are many people who think that if the Vikings could land Brett Favre, they are an instant Super Bowl contender, and I like the sound of that!

Game 4

Tonight's game 4 is a very crucial game for the Orlando Magic. Down 2 games to 1 they really need to win tonight to even the series and gain some momentum into their final home game of the series on Sunday. I, for one, am sick of the Lakers just as I am with the New York Yankees. Orlando is a far better team and just isn't use to the pressures of playing in the NBA Finals like the Lakers. I am cheering all the way for Orlando.

More Training

I have been to more training in the last year, than I have been in my whole life. Tomorrow I go to a half day of training down at NIACC. This training is put on by one of the seed company's that we sell seed for. At this time of the year you can learn many things about a plant and it's growing stages. The more training the more knowledge I can pass on to my farmers.

Capella University

My brother in law is graduating this weekend with his masters. He got his degree online through online college courses. That's a very popular thing to do these days. One school I hear about often is Capella University. They are a fully accredited online university that is a leading provider of master's and PhD degrees for those who want to continue working while getting an education. It's very practical and allows people to do everything they need to do in a day while still getting their degree. Capella has a great website which features lots of information about their school and employees. Recently they released a podcast featuring Beverly Enns, a faculty chair for reading/literacy. If you'd like to learn more about that or the school...check out their site today.

What a big girl!

We were getting Kaelyn ready for church the other day and realized that she only has one or two pairs of shoes that still fit her. Sometimes I think her feat actually grow overnight. It's crazy how fast she's been growing. We're looking to buy her a good pair of walking shoes now that she's all over the place...however at the same time we don't really want to spend a lot because we know she'll grow out of them fairly quickly.

4 years!

Jen and I have our 4 year anniversary coming up next week. It doesn't seem like we've been married for that long already...I guess time flies when you're having fun though, right! I always like to find something special for Jen on our anniversary. This year we're in the middle of selling our house, so I need to find something nice, but affordable at the same time. If anyone has any great ideas I am more than open to suggestions!

Wishing for a Vacation

I have been at my new job for 10 months now and I only get 5 days of vacation and would like to build my vacation days up so that I can have a little freedom. My second year I receive 10 days of vacation which will free me up to feel like I can take some time off and may be get in a vacation. The next question is, where do we go?

Which club to buy

This Christmas I received a new set of Taylormade Golf Irons, so in order for my to get use out of them I need to purchase other clubs to complete my set. Recently I have be looking at a Driver, 3 wood, and 4 hybrid. These are probably the 3 clubs I use the most other than my putter. Now I just have to find the right club at the right price. Any suggestions?

Monex Deposit Company

I've always been interested in investing, and am not at a point in my life where I might just be able to do that! I have been looking into the Monex Deposit Company and am impressed with their customer base and satisfaction. They have been around for over 30 years and are still known as America's gold, silver and precious metals investment leader. They help people like you and me purchase precious metals and then immediately deliver them to us or a place of safe storage. I'm looking to buy gold coin, but whatever it is you're looking to do....it's worth taking a look at Monex first! I know that I'm happy I did, and I'm sure you will be too. Take a look at their website and see what you think. They have a lot of information there and a very user-friendly site.

Where did this week go?

I can't believe that tomorrow is already Thursday. It's funny everyday I go to work with nothing on my agenda, but by the time I get home I wonder where the day went. It's amazing that it doesn't matter whether or not I have anything scheduled I can always find something to keep me busy to pass the time. Let get this week over with!

Blogging for Cash

I'm really happy that I've had more time these days to blog. It seems that while we were in the process of moving, I barely ever got on the computer because we were just so busy with everything else that was going on. Now I've actually been able to find some time to blog and even blog for money a little bit. Do any of you do that? If not, you should definitely check into it. I don't do it a lot, but when I do...boy is the extra cash nice.:)

PowerOptions

You may have heard of PowerOptions before, but did you know how much they can actually do for you?

Head over to PowerOptions and check their option screener out for yourself.




Watching Zoe

This week Jenna and I were dog sitting her parent's dog, Zoe. Zoe is a Bichon Frise and such a good girl. She's so easy to dog sit because she's really pretty low maintenance. Now with the new house we just let her out on her chain when she has to go potty and she's so good to ask by ringing her bell on the door whenever she has to go. We really enjoy getting to watch her every once in a while...and miss her when she leaves. Maybe someday we'll get a Bichon of our own?? Either that or we'll continue to "borrow" Zoe.:)

Loving Playoff Basketball

It's funny, I hate watching the NBA during the regular season, but once the Playoffs roll around I can watch it every night for 3 months straight. I think that having the players know that they are playing to keep their hopes for a championship alive. Playing the best of seven series makes them play every game like it was their last. Let's go Orlando!

The Knot Wedding Shop

I've heard of The Knot before, but had never heard of The Knot Wedding Shop before today. They offer high quality wedding supplies like wedding cameras, ring pillows, personalized attendant gifts, cake toppers, unique wedding favor ideas, and so much more! I was impressed with the collections they offer as well as the price. Did you know that they are the largest retailer of wedding supplies online?! I didn't, but think that's very cool! They have lots of great products perfect for those brides and grooms-to-be who are in the market for unique things for their wedding. If you're interested, head over to their site and take a look around. Their site is very user friendly and finding what you need is a piece of cake!



Working Hard

Although it is not the busy season, it seems that work has been pretty busy this week. Last night a I did not get home til' late, and this morning I had to work. We're spraying for weeds, so it is not something that will take weeks and weeks, but just something that needs to get done. I'm trying to get as much done as I can so that I can spend more time with my wife and daughter. :)

Mowing the Yard

I finally got our yard mowed again. It's been hard to get that done lately with all of the rain. Between the rain and work I find it difficult to get much done at all while it's still daylight and sunny outside. I'm glad it's done and I hopefully wont' have to think about it for another week at least.

Paintballing

I've only been paintballing a couple of times and it was a long time ago. I think it would be fun to try it again sometime....but I first need the supplies to do so. ZephyrPaintball.com is a site I happened to come across and they offer a lot of paintball gear at low prices and free shipping! They have paintball guns, goggles, hoppers, paintballs, and paintball starter packages. They also carry popular names you may have heard like Dye, invert, Kingman Spyder, Tippman, PMI, Nelson, Empire and many more! Their aim is to please their customers and that's what I like best about them. After more browsing I think I will definitely be making a purchase...Happy father's day to me!


Tips from the Pros

I had the opportunity to attend a PGA golf tourney a couple weeks ago, and I'm glad I attended. It's surprising to see just how laid back the golfers are even though they are playing for such a large sum of money. They make every shot look so easy. I can honestly say that I learned some of the things I should do in my game to shoot a better score. I can't wait for the next opportunity I can get to go and watch again. What a great time!

Believe And You Will Be Rewarded

We have been going through some uncertain times over the pass couple of months. A few days before Easter we decided to put our house on the market, and in the first few weeks had 11 showings. Seeing the interest we were receiving we thought we should start looking for a new one. We found one that we really likely and put in a contingent offer which was accepted. So we had a house bought if ours would sell, then came the news that someone else put in a non-contingent offer which gave us 48 hours to pull our contingency or cancel our offer. Of course we had to cancel our offer, which really bummed me out. Here we are 2 months later still trying to sell our house and looking for a house we can be happy in. We know that if we continue to be faithful God will reward us, so that's what we're doing. Patience.
