input

after three or so years, i may or may not be switching from blogger to a new blogging host called livejournal.
it's simpler, but at the same time it has a few features that blogger lacks that i think would come in handy.
now, i won't be deleting this blog or anything (of course--i have years worth of stuff on here!). but, i would like your input on whether or not y'all like livejournal. anyone can comment (you don't need an account) and, ya. so tell me what y'all think.

thanks!

and sorry about the wierdness, i will fix it soon.

all 6 at once

the fun thing about being older and all of us living in different places? family get-togethers are a lot more fun. so, i haven't posted this yet because it was a surprise for steven, but i am back in CA til the end of august. i came back early so i could see my brother steven, who flew in from japan for a week with his (recently announced) fiance. fun stuff.
so i got to see all three of my brothers at once this weekend, and probably will get to a few more times this week. i don't think the 4 of us have been together in a long time... i definitely can't think of the last time... it has to have been 2 or 3 years. so it's been a blast seeing them.
anyhow, enjoy the pics, and i'll make sure to update soon.











this pic of the four of us... i looked at it, and i just thought... wow, we look old. i mean, compared to 15 years ago (like this pic i found), we're big! it didn't really hit me until i saw that pic of us we took this weekend.

sweet pic

so my dad took this really sweet pic while he and my mom were here last weekend... he photoshopped it, and i think it looks super cool. i just had to share it.

we've had an awesome thunderstorm all day today... TONS of lightning, massive downpours, and soul shaking thunder. wonderful stuff.

dear anonymous-
pardon my lack of posting. you see, i spend about 7 hours a day in my room... the same number of hours i spend sleeping. the other 17 hours are spent out and about on the zip-line, leading hikes, leading campfires, and partaking in meals. i confess there is also the occasional nap.
so, if you (whoever you are) would like a personal update, go ahead and call me.
and know that this post is all in good fun... and it was directed toward an anonymous comment left in response to my lack of posting. i found it funny and as something that i could write a quick post about.

anyhow

but honestly, i do apologize for the lack of posting. i really miss spending time sitting down and writing stuff out, so i am trying really hard to get back to it.

my little story for today is a bit of a proud one... i received employee of the week for this past week. i'm not gonna lie, i'm a bit stoked.

alrighty, i hope your weekend is going well.
