That is all for now, there will be a post coming soon. God Bless!

engagement...

As I reflect upon the best time in my life, marriage, I couldn't help but remember that glorious day when my bride said, "yes". So, me being the "youtuber" that I am, remembered that Ben Potter, who made our engagement video, had posted it on youtube. And upon seeing it, the memories filled my mind, and flooded my soul. I praise the Lord for how blessed I am to have found such a beautiful and wonderful bride. It says in the Bible, "he who finds a wife, finds a good thing". And I have found the best!

...baby humor

This is probably the funniest video that I have ever seen. You may ask yourself, "Isn't it just a baby laughing?" And my reply would be, "Yes!" It is just a baby laughing, but in the most joyous way. You can just feel the utter joy that this child has and the sheer satisfaction he gets in just laughing. I think that it is a lesson we all should learn. Laughing is good, make sure it is part of your day today! God Bless!

ONE TRUTH...RIP

Well, with deep sorrow in my heart, I am moved to inform you about the closing of one of my most highly esteemed and greatly loved clothing companies, ONE TRUTH. Now, I know what you are thinking, "What? That is ridiculous. You need to suck it up." Well, my response is this, "I am trying." You see, for you hard of heart, this clothing company means more than just sweet SWAG, it means that there is a discontinuing of "clothing with a cause". And their cause was, "the gospel". Being a Christian, it is extremely hard to represent for the Savior when your clothing spells out "nerd alert". You see, ONE TRUTH, with their ingenious designers, were able to produce clothing that screamed, "Redemption, Salvation, Mercy, Love, Grace, and ultimately Jesus" without screaming, "Nerd, Awkward, Rip-off, and ultimately Un-intriguing." But more than the awesome rep that you were able to establish, the message of the clothing was at the center of it all. Many times Iwould leave people stunned and curious after wearing one of my favorite articles of clothing. So I want to express my deepest sorrow, and yet my hardiest blessings to the fellows of ONE TRUTH, and say thanks for showing us that it is okay to not only be a Christian, but to dress the part as well.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. There is a ONE TRUTH "Pillage my Village" sale this weekend, March 15 in SLO. It is at their warehouse, and it will be awesome. I am not able to go, so please go for me! God Bless!

an ode to mustaches...

Oh mustache, oh mustache,

how delicate art thee.

Although

 your presence

is very much annoying.

You look so dapper upon thy upper lip,

but be careful or else the razor will slip.

So, to you oh mustache, the fairest of them all,

keep right on marching beautiful and tall.

For those who are either uninformed or have enough intelligence to pass this trend by, it is Mustache March and I have been faithful to uphold the long tradition. And since the beginning of time all men, from around the world, have joined in this tradition of growing out the hairs on their upper lip despite the repulsion of their immediate families, friends, co-workers, barbers, grocers, and basically everyone else they come in contact with. So, I salute you, oh mustache grower in the face of the negative stereotypes and all, keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing. The mustache lives!

(P.S. There is no "official" tradition, just something we do for fun.)

...slo town

Kara, myself, and our good friend from Germany, Tobias Grunick, all trekked to San Luis Obispo a couple of weekends ago. The reasons for this journey were two fold. First, and in Kara's eyes most important, was the haircut appointment. Since there was "no one" in Santa Barbara who could wield scissors like "her girl" 

in SLO, she made the appointment

 and went. Now, to me, this seems quite odd, considering the amount of talented hairstylists in the area of Santa Barbara, BUT the more I think about it, it probably sounds odd toher that I would travel to Ventura for surf when there are waves just over the mountain. Anyways, those will be mysteries, yet in each of our minds they make sense.

The second reason was to see family, sister Lindsay, and friends. And what a blessing they are to our lives. One of the hardest things, among others, about leaving SLO was leaving behind friends who are near and dear to our hearts. And being there brings back those memories of going to Sunshine Donuts at 12 am, hanging downtown at Linea's Coffee Shop, indulging in the best, best, best Tri-Tip Sandwich in

 the world (Firestone's, oh yeah!). 

SLO is near to our hearts and maybe someday (maybe not, I don't know, it is totally hypothetical) we will be back, living the SLO life. You never know what the Lord is doing! Peace!

the great freeze...

This is one of the most impressive/awesome things that I have seen. If there is anyone out there inspired to do something like this, I WANT IN. Let me know when and where you are doing this because I want to be a part of it. It's great!

...new beginnings

Now, since we have become one flesh, according to Scripture, we have decided to take it upon ourselves to become "one blogger". Therefore, we are inspired to begin this new blog for the enjoyment for those who mean the world to us. And it is our pledge to bring you the following:

- up to date news on our lives.

- ramblings that most likely will make sense only to us, but we think you will enjoy as well.

- photos of our life together.

 - and anything else "blog-worthy".

We want to thank you all for reading our previous blogs, your support and curiosity are what keep this blogging dream alive. So, without further adieu, I bring you the first of many blogs. We wish you all God's blessing in all that you do!
