1st Snow

It snowed today! Nothing is sticking, but the boys want to snowboard this winter and this has them excited...

Guess I better learn how to "board"! :)

Since the last post I mentioned being a yellow belt - I am happy to say I am now an orange belt! TKD has been great and I really enjoy attending it with my sons!

Well, hopefully I can actually add content here a bit more often...

Rainbows and yellow belts

Finally...you can see a rainbow over the area! The rains have lessened and waters are receding.

(it did rain yesterday and today...)

For those of you wondering about the floods...I have the 1st package of clothes from Renegade Style and will be handing them out personally this weekend.

On a personal and fitness topic - yesterday, my oldest son and I were awarded our Yellow Belt in Tae Kwon Do! It was quite a big deal for Luke. Unfortunately, Mason, hasn't mastered Basic #1 yet, but he will retest in a few weeks. A family that Kicks together Sticks together...

A great day to have a great day!

My old baseball coach used to say that before every game. Of course he was talking about having a great day at the plate or on the mound...but I think it applies to everyday! You can decide to have a great day, you control your emotions and your reactions to what ever happens. Just decide to have great day!

It truely is a great day to have a great day!

Water, water everywhere

Wow - I haven't posted since March and back then I was talking about all the snow! Well now it is all about all the rain. The flood of 2008 - Look here or here to see local coverage!

Snow Pictures!

So here is a quick pic of the snow that has piled up on my street this year! Note - the vehicle is a full sized Chevy Tahoe!

Moving away from my continued rant on all the snow - I want to today say how much I HATE being sick. I nast strain of influenza A has struck and many fo my friends at work were hit with it. I was doing great until last Friday - that is when I went down as well. It sucks bad, every symptom listed on both Nyquil and Pepto Bismol together! No fun at all...

Are you kidding me?

So my last post was about more snow - guess what has happened here since then? That is right EVEN MORE SNOW! And the forecast for today? Yep - MORE SNOW! I have been using this more than I have been using these. If Iowa wasn;t so flat - perhaps I could have taought myself to snowboard and joined the Renegade SnowBoard team? We have found a decent hill for sledding and I was able to make it down without failing using a $10.00 plastic snowboard available at your local Menards lumberyard! Watch out - X-Games here I come!

Well - I could go on and on and apparently the snow is going to...

So have you accepted Jesus into your heart? Do you know that you are going to Heaven? Have you by faith accepted his sacrifice so you canenter into the kingdom of God? If you are not sure and would like to, all you have to do is pray this prayer. You don't have to join a church or clean up to come to God. Let His love flow into your life!

MORE SNOW!

Wow - I have not been very good at updating this. Maybe perhaps it is because I spend all my free time SHOVELING SNOW!!!!!!!

I have had 1 to 2 hour Snow Shovel GPP sessions the last 3 days! Lots of core and posterior chain work!

But as the old coach says - what you do today will be easier tomorrow.

I just hope I don't have to shovel tomorrow. :)

Tonight - I will take a break and have dinner at the Texas Roadhouse and see "Stomp"!
