MO Botanical Garden

Some Photos from the Botanical Garden a few weekends ago.

10 months

Tonight is our 10 month anniversary. Can’t believe it’s gone so fast. It’s been a busy, busy year. The fun just keeps coming. On the bright side, we’ve had 3 weddings on the EA-18G team at work in the past two years and Mica and I already hold the record for […]

Budweiser National Karate Classic

Today was the 25th annual Budweiser National Karate Classic. It was a very interesting tournament. It was held in a community college gym that had no air conditioning. They had all the doors open and big fans, but it was still stifling hot in there. It was also very chaotic. […]

9 Days Until Vacation

I’m getting anxious to leave. It’ll be nice to have a week off of work. I called my mom yesterday to wish her a happy birthday (they’re on vacation in Oregon) and she’s exited that we’ll be out to see them in just over a week.
The weather out there is looking […]

Wicked Cool

Last Sunday, when we went to my niece’s birthday party, my sister-in-law mentioned that she had the pre-order code to get tickets for Wicked at the Fox Theatre. I’ve heard wonderful things about the show so far, and the touring cast includes none other than Carol Kane! I may have watched The Princess […]

Mmmmmm. Bread.

I just got done pulling a loaf of Italian Herb bread out of the bread machine. Delicious!!! We don’t use our bread machine enough. Maybe once every couple of months. I need to start doing it more often since we’re cooking at home more.
It’s been a quiet weekend. […]

Fast Cars and Freedom

It’s been a long, long week. My back hasn’t completely healed, although it’s feeling much, much better. Made it through a group class in karate Wednesday, although I promised Mica I wouldn’t stay for the sparring class. I may spar tonight, we’ll just have to see how things are feeling.
Been […]

Laid Up All Weekend

Last weekend started well. 8 of the fighters from our school went down to our sister school in Chesterfield, MO for some inter-school sparring practice. Had an absolute blast. Easily did some of my best fighting ever. We were supposed to fight for an hour, but ended up going for 2. […]

Arrr

Just a reminder, next Monday be International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Back Home

I borrowed a copy of Clapton’s Back Home. Awesome CD. I really, really like it.
I’ve been reading Shadow Divers. It’s been good, but not extremely gripping. Nice book to pick up and read when I feel like reading, but it’s not the type of book you just can’t put […]
