Road trip!

Last weekend Katie and I flew back to Louisville to pick up the vue. It was a great time to be back with friends again. Below are some pictures from the weekend and our 3-day drive back to California again.

In other news, I've decided to get reading finally while I'm here. First on the list is a collection of Jonathan Edwards sermons in a book entitled, The Salvation of Souls. The first sermon was on how the removal of Godly men from committed bodies signifies God's pending wrath and/or judgment. It was really good, though I'm still not totally sure how I felt about it. There was an encouraging quote towards the end that I wanted to share however...

"You that are young, be careful that you not be the reproach of your generations. Others are going off, and you, those of you that are to live (for it is not profitable that all of you are to live till you are past your youth), I say you that are to live are coming on endeavors to make good the ground of those that have gone before, that you may not have a hand in ruining the town. There are some men [who], instead of being public blessings, are public nuisances. Ecclesiastes 9:18, 'One sinner destroyeth much [good].' They cumber the ground. Instead of being useful members in society, they are like cancer in the body. Take heed that it be not so with you."
-Jonathan Edwards, while preaching "The Death of Faithful Ministers a Sign of God's Displeasure"

Luke came, and went!

So, Luke came! He was here for 6 days or so and we went all over SoCal. Hollywood and Ventura beach were the hottest spots we checked out, and even though the water was at its coldest temperature of the year we jumped to get thrashed by some of the biggest waves I've ever seen.

Another consistent thing was did was go roller blading every night. I live on the edge of a valley here and there are huge hills EVERYWHERE. So, we went all up and down those...usually around 1am, haha! But yea, on the first night we were cutting down a random street and he was about 15ft. in front of me and 2 huge dogs randomly jumped out from a house just ahead of us on the street. Luke was like, "DOGS, RUN!!!" So I did, and so did he. Problem was he was closer to them and as he turned around they got to be about 5ft. from his rear but he made it and they chased us both for about 2 blocks before giving up.

But really, we did have a sweet time playing lots of wii golf (it was addicting). We had the best weather here we've had since I've been back while I was here, so he was lucky. Here are a few more pics from our time at the beach... peace!

Oooo, a visitor!

So, about that top 7's of '07...yea...definitely not happening. Partly because I lost all my music on my hard drive and really can't remember what I listened to this year, but mostly because I am incredibly lazy.

Tomorrow will mark the day of the first visitor I've had since we moved to California. Sweet! Luke is a good friend of mine from back home and he'll be coming out for a few days before school starts for him back in Chicago. Anddd thennnn, a couple days after he flies home Katie and I will be flying out to Louisville to pick up the Saturn. I know many of you wondered if we would make a stop in Chicago, but do to some planning issues it looks like we will be in Louisville for the full amount of our stay. We'll get in Friday night, and probably leave Sunday morning...though I would like to leave Monday or Tuesday if at all possible.

I was able to find some Mac software I had and get back a lot of what I had lost through Leopard which was great.

That's all for now I think... take care everybody.
