The Crew - 05/12/2007


This past weekend, we worked on my parents house. We placed over 460 block, and removed 23+ trees. The yard is starting to take shape, and is one steps closer to be completed by the time Amber and I get married at the house.

Crazy!

Long time no talk... Things have been pretty crazy for Amber and I. We have been working on wedding plans, rejoining leagues, visiting old friends, getting our new car fixed.

This past Saturday (3/31/07), Amber and I were heading toward Madison, WI and a wild turkey flew across the road. We ended up hitting it with our new car at about 70 miles per hour, it scratches the paint and put couple of dents in the hood. When you think about it, it is pretty funny. At this time, the car is in the body shop and should get it back in a week or so. Hope the body work is good. Some times you just have to sit back and laugh!!!

Ice Fishing - 01/27/07





Ice Fishing in Lac du Flambeau, WI

Amber and I went ice fishing in northern WI with her family. This was the first time I have ever gone, and it was very enjoyable. We did not catch anything, but the beer was cold, and the company was delightful. We will have to do this again in the near future.

Austin, TX - 1/20/07


The picture on the left is from the LBJ President Library. It was very cool, and you have a great time seeing the history of LBJ. It is educational, but they have many impressive displays, and it is free. After the library we went to the “The Story of Texas” Museum. It covers the history of Texas and its people. The cost was only $5.50 per person, and parking was free. It was nice, but it had lots of reading, and very little displays. The library is better then the museum. Right up the street is the capital, and very impressive from the outside. Over all the trip was great, and weather was drizzly but it did not affect our mood. We would love to visit more of the state on our next trip from the plains to the coast.

San Antonio, TX - 1/19/07


Amber and I went to San Antonio, TX to visit the local sites. We had a great time seeing the "Alamo". I high recommend that everyone see it once in their life time. It is in the heart of city, but once you enter the mission it feels like going back in time. You get to see the original wall, building, artifacts, and so on. Very impressive!

We also walked the famous "River walk", and eat at a local Mexican restaurant. The river setup with all the shops and eating place would be a very romantic in spring, and with warmth. Maybe the next time, it will be warmer and we can enjoy the evening.

We traveled up the “Tower of America’s”. It is a lot like the Seattle Space Needle, and it gives you a 360 view of the city. The fog was pretty bad, but you could still see the main parts of the city. The price is only $11, pretty affordable. This also includes a 4-D movie about Texas.
