I'm off again today and my days are consisting of going to the grocery store, working out, and playing Modern Warfare 2. Mom- here's the Christmas Shoppe website http://shoppe.schlitterbahnchristmas.com/ . Later folks.

Most Wonderful Time of The Year

2009-11-02T08:47:00.000-08:00

Hello all....I know, I know it's been quite some time since my last post. I've been getting into the holiday spirit here lately but had to keep it hidden to the outside world. Now that it's Nov. 2nd I'd say Thanksgiving/Christmas is all fair game. Time to break out the Christmas records!! I'm really going to try and stay up with this more often now. I was thinking of my old posts where I posted up Thanksgiving pictures and it truly is a great reminder of probably the best Thanksgiving I can remember. I hope to beat that Thanksgiving Day this year.

_____________________________________________________________________
Now on to a little bit about my day. Today I will be working out chest and triceps as I only have three days to fit my workouts in. On a personal note, I had only been running and not lifting weights at all for approximately four months. I surprisingly noted that not much muscle loss occurred and I lost approximately 20 lbs coming down from 200 lbs to 180 lbs. This weekend is Liz's birthday so we will be traveling to McAllen to celebrate. Hopefully I will have my camera charged up soon and will be posting pictures of all my adventures. Have a great day and seize it why don't you?!

Ring Ceremony

2005-12-08T11:23:00.000-08:00

So I finally reached another milestone in my college career by getting my ring on Tuesday. The ring ceremony went rather well and they even started a new tradition where each student had to dip there hand in a bowl filled with water from the San Marcos river before we received our ring. Here are the pics. Last but not least here is a picture of what is considered to be the single greatest ride in surfing history done by Laird Hamilton at Teahupoo in Tahiti.

Thanksgiving

2005-11-26T09:19:00.000-08:00

. This thanksgiving had to be one of the best ever. We had our first Thanksgiving Eve which I think went really good and is something we will have to do again. I wish that I could remember all of the foods that we had because we had a lot. I'll try to get a menu later. So here are some pics from Thanksgiving.

All Moved In!

2005-08-03T10:17:00.000-07:00

Ok so the hard part is over, I am now all moved in to my apartment. Here is to a good year. Here are the pics:

Some Apt. Pics

2005-07-14T16:25:00.000-07:00

Ya buddy! It's that time of the year again. The time when millions of men and women of all ages get decked out in their camos and wake up at 4:00 in the morning. That's right, it's deer season. I am heading out tonight with my brother Clinton to our cabin. Happy hunting to you if you're going out and good luck on bagging that trophy buck. I am coming off an off week.
