    Okay, so some of you (facebook people) may know what the title refers to, but to the rest here is the whole story. Jess and I rose early Sunday morning for the hour journey to Ennis, MT for the forth annual Madison Marathon where we would be running the half. We got dressed, grabbed our…

    Jess and I had a great trip out to Oregon recently (you can read Jessica’s accounts here and here) and had a great time. We primarily went on the premise of my Niece’s wedding. Jess’ parents were gracious enough to let us take their Mustang convertible on the trip. This was a huge blessing as…

    Many of you checked out the quick little video I made of some skateboarding on the 4th, but here’s a little more “holiday appropriate” content. Namely pictures of fireworks. Enjoy! [nggallery id=3]

    Here I am, sitting in a Billings City Brew. I was supposed to be doing some work, trying to wrap up a long overdue project and alas, I forgot my hard drive back in Bozeman with all the videos. Jess is off at a bridal shower and I am just sitting here with my tasty…

    So, its been a while since I’ve been on here to write to you all, and while I could go back into why I suck at blogging, I will refrain from such an endeavor. Busy! That has been the story of Jess and I for the last couple months. Our weeks have been so chock-o-block full…

    Today marks the three year anniversary for Jess and I. It both seems a long and short while ago that we were betrothed on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, one of two for the month of May that year. With each passing day, I have become more in love with my wife. I am great full…

    So, here is a load of pictures for the events preceding, during and after the graduation ceremony. This is also the debut for pictures from our new toy, a Nikon D7000 with the 55-300 lens. I don’t have the energy to put my deeper thoughts into this, but rest assured that I will add some as…

    One afternoon last week, I was asked to take part in a friends senior project. He needed a lead vocal to fill the position of another that ended up unavailable for the concert. I sing in front of people all the time as a worship leader at New Hope Bible Church, and this song was…

    So I’m a bit behind the times here and finally found the auto photomerge feature in Photoshop. This is pretty cool! Take some fairly level shots in sequence across a pan and behold, beautiful panorama. I took a fair share of these sequences while in the Philippines and I thought that I would share them…

    Now this post will deviate somewhat from the typical ones of late in that I will not be addressing the Philippines trip memoir or using it as a spiritual diving board. What I would like to discuss with you all is about the source of all truth. Now I believe that the Bible is the…
