| well, i finally decided to update. Life has been pretty hectic, there are more projects coming up this week and add on top of that us moving on Sunday. None of us in the house have even started to pack. I'm excited but also worried having 5 guys in a house. Our house is okay, but can be pretty messy at times, with the current situation and stress people have been neglecting our duties around the house... the sink is piled high and i just loaded up the dishwasher... and it's still stuffed above the sink level yikes! i really hope things get better and that the new house will be organized like we've been planning. i think after our lease is over at the new house, i definitely will never live in a house/apt with more than 3 guys. 5 guys just has more tendency of clutter...
in other news, i realized how complacent i've become with my faith and just spending time with God. Life has really become really busy and just worrying about the housing situation and finances and stuff.. i have like 2-3 monrhts i think of unemployemnt left. i really need to save and get on my tax returns to get money back... with being out of a christian environment(college was a Christian college and my work was a Christian publishign company) i've really had a need to question what it means personally to be a Christian. What does mean to be a Christian and live out my faith? So that's what i've been struggling with. kinda vague i know... but, i think to answer that i need to start getting disciplined in getting back into the Bible and spending time with the Father.

| well haven't posted in awhile, so i'll give an update. As far as school goes, i started last week, and it's been goin really well. It's totally different from going to a regular college... classes are about 2-4 hours long, but lots of it is work time to put into the projects. I definitely enjoy them and can defintely see myself doin this kinda thing for awhile. As far as girl business... well after a month or so if talking she suddenly decided that she didn't want to be in a relationship, for a year to two years, she says. and she still wants to be friends. i'm slightly ticked that she would lead me on for a month and suddenly decide this. it's quite frustrating. i swear, i have all kinds of luck to be attracted to girls who don't know what they want. oh well. i'll have to deal with it, i think i'm done pursuing girls, i'll wait till one actually knows what they want and have the maturity to commit to a relationship. anyway, sorry about the rant. in other news, our house was bought and now we may have to find a new place to move into, so the next couple weeks we'll be house hunting. busy busy busy

| well, it was good to get back together with the LC crew. the 12 dollar deal wasn't as great as i thought, i'm probably not gonna get it ever again. i think i would have been more satisfied with just a boneless buffalo appetizer, oh wel maybe when we all get back together sometime jan 2nd or something we could do get more food whee! good to hear that bum is unharmed, hopefully those buggers will be caught soon and that the security door would get frickin fixed. lamesauce. well, today i ordered the new unibody macbook pro. in addition, i also ordered a 500GB 5400rpm SATA drive off of newegg.com to replace the 250GB that comes with the macbook pro. on the website, a 250GB to 320GB upgrade is $100, and i got a 500GB instead for the same price :) stupid apple overcharging everything. i'll post up pics once i complete the surgery(upgrade). Well, in other news, I think i'm the event photographer for my church that I attend. (one of them anyhow) We had a huge christmas concert that had Shaun Groves(who I got to meet, Bum knows the song he wrote, After the Music Fades), Cindy Morgan, and Travis Cottrell. For the kids, they had a bunch of neat Christmas story tours that walked them through rooms that setup to show the Christmas story. Here are some pics:
200 graham cracker gingerbread houses!
our monster sound and lighting room
the stage
"Kidztown" which is our auditorium for the children's minsitry and sunday service for the kids. this room was originally the main auditorium(it's still huge)
my friend helping one of the kids decorate his graham cracker house
one of the tour rooms for the kids, i think this is the room with the shepherds? i think... WITH LIVE SHEEP
I actually got up in the catwalks with a couple friends above the main auditorium and got this shot!
and finally shaun groves with the service coordinator of our church
overall i took 438 pictures that night. I had my 24-70mm lens which was probably 5 lbs and another 4 lb dedicated flash unit and my camera body(another 3-4 lbs) and let me tell you, my frickin finger muscles were sore after about 5 hrs of shooting. holy nuts. well, hope you guys enjoyed the pics!

| hey guys, i'll be home on the 20th! woohoo! i sitll haven't finished my christmas shopping yet... wah. also, i just found out i'm leading worship for a youth retreat where Rob Bell is the guest speaker! yikes! If you don't know who he is, he's the guy who does the Nooma videos. He's been called the "next Billy Graham" and on the top 50 most influential Christians. so needless to say, i'm SLIGHTLY nervous about this retreat. GAHHHH
