Progress and Expansion →
We’re moving right along on the house project though the scope of the project seems to be inflating. We’ve put a hole in the wall between the kitchen and living room by reinforcing it with 2 2x8’s and cutting the existing studs down to the level we wanted. The top of the wall will be about 6 inches above the countertops. Thought these two photos are from slightly different...

Hark the Herald Angels Sing →
One of the last two classes I had to take this past quarter to finish my degree was Christology. Seattle University, being a Jesuit university, teaches a very different Christology than what I believe. But that’s not what I’m writing about here. What I wanted to mention was an activity that we did in class the other day. The professor had us analyze different traditional Christmas...

House Update →
Here’s a quick update on the house. We got the keys on Monday and so far have ripped out some carpet and last night the in-laws came over and help us scrape the popcorn off the ceilings. That revealed a little bit of patchwork that needs to be done but generally, the ceilings are in pretty good shape. Hopefully I can get the patchwork done and and get the ceilings painted in the next few...

Obituary: Dustin's College Career →
Today, December 13, at approximately 5 PM Dustin’s College Career passed away quietly in his sleep. He lived a fulfilling, yet short, life of 6 years. The first year of his life was spent confused and disillusioned, wandering the halls of a small Christian University, struggling to keep control during his 9 month long battle with Dustin’s Video Game Career (RIP 2001-2002).

Top 15 Albums of 2007: number 14 →
Coming in at #14 on the list is Arctic Monkeys’ second full length album Favourite Worst Nightmare. This album was my first introduction to the English band and they did not disappoint. One of my favorite songs from the album is Fluorescent Adolescent. Check out the video below. Note: if you have a abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns you may not want to watch it.
Top 15 Albums of 2007: Number 15 →
I’ve compiled a list of my favorite albums of 2007. I know I am probably missing some and I’m sure there are many albums out there that I just didn’t have time to digest. For one reason or another, these ones seem to stand our form this past year. I’ll start with number 15. This is the 4th year I’ve blogged my top list. Here’s the past years lists: 2006, 2005,...
The Burbs →
We close on our house in a week as our inevitable move to the suburbs draws closer. I’ve been thinking a lot about this change that is coming up. I can’t quite yet put many of my thoughts into words, but I’m noticing a lot of pride and arrogance in myself about where I live. I am thankful that I now have to deal with that as God uses this move to further sanctify me. I am very...
