Vacation's Over
Had a great few weeks of vacation. Here are some of my highlights:

1. Hanging with the family!:
Man do I love to hang out with my wife and kids. There were countless lightsaber wars, wrestling matches and books that we read.



2. Alex Roller
Alex and I worked together at Asbury in Tulsa 4-6 years ago. He fell into the Oklahoma Pipeline and got sucked out to California by Mark Oestreicher, Journey church and now he currently works at Youth Specialties. He's a rock star now.

3. The Brian, Elisha, Ben, and Zach's visit
The Francis family spent the night at the Riddle Family bed and Breakfast, as they were driving from Michigan to their new home in San diego (El Cajon) My Zach and Jaden were very excited to see their friends again and they stayed up late reading books and planning on telling scary stories in the middle of the night.
Elisha and Pam got some good time together and Brian and I ate breakfast at BBD2, got some Starbucks and then walked to the park 3 doors down for an epic lightsaber battle involving a thermal detonator (read: football) and a fort shaped like a big toy at the park.. It was about 70 degrees. Then we explored the park and climbed a few "mountains" in the creekbottom followed by a serious rock throwing competition.

4.Christmas:
It was way busy, had a lot of fun. It was good to see some family I hadn't seen in quite a while.

5. New Years:
Friends came over and we broke out the card table. Pam won and tried to give back the $3 she won from everyone.

6. King King: I got to prepare to evacuate my inlaws from fire approaching their house and watch King Kong all in the same night! King Kong was a ride.
