Let's Play a Game!

Ok Everyone needs to look at the picture. This is our disasterous living room after Kim's last Baby Shower. I think we have everything but I could be wrong. So the Game is to review the picture and tell us what else Kim and I need before baby comes. First one to name some things that we need that we don't already have wins!!! Good Luck

The joy's of Winning is Crushed by the Losing

So Kim and I ventured to Vegas this last weekend. Remember the hugh that I was on after winning my Bracket. Well that was quickly dashed the minute we walked into the New york New York. My first $20 gone. That stupid slot, it said on the slot that it was Party America although I wasn't having a party by just giving the machine $20.

We later walked up the Strip (which is an incredibly long walk) the scale in Vegas is totally different from how I pictured it. Kim did great by walking about 34 miles the entire weekend but she is definitely a trooper. I ended up winning some on the first day because the Rockies won on opening day and we played roulette and ended up doubling my money at the Casino Royale.

Other than buying fake club tickets, Walking out of a restaurant after looking at the menu prices, all the smoke, and the naughty pictures all over the place...Vegas is actually a pretty cool place. It's an experience and I'm glad we took the experience. Oh and I made all my money back on the alst day on the Rockies and betting against the Lakers. LOVE IT. Now I just need the Broncos to win my 35:1 bet and I'll be what Vegas calls a WHALE.
Below are a couple of pictures of the memories and being with all our best friends was definitely a treat for us to have before baby comes.

Oh the Joys of Winning

So today is a good day. Why? Because my Duke Blue Devils are on top once again. I love being a fan of a team that so many people despise because when we win it's so lovely to rub it in everyone nose. Now many of you will say, "Oh Ernie is such a poser and just likes Duke because they are good" false. I grew up a Duke fan because my father, who I love and respect tremendously, went to Medical School there. Then my brother decided to go to Duke and while he was there I was fortunate to go to a Duke game and sit with the Crazies!!! Once you have been to an environment like that of course you are a fan.

This culture and society just loves the story and loves to build teams and other people up, and then when they are up we love to tear them down. (Tiger woods, Any president, Duke, Yankees, and when Butler starts winning all the time them too) It is a fault of our society so I don't get mad when people bash my teams.

So Today is my day and nothing you say will bring me down. GO DUKE now and forever more!!!

Transitions of a Nursery

Well we are almost done. The only thing we are waiting on now is the name that we are going to hang in the nursery and that will have to wait until after baby comes. Kim and I finally feel that we are done with the Nursery. As the time gets closer to the due date we are realizing how much stuff we are getting. The room definitely fills up fast and I have a feeling that all the room we have in our house now will slowly be turned into a baby factory. We are so blessed to have the space though so we aren't complaining. Take a look at what we have done to our front room. We think it turned out great!

Good Friday and Seder

I thought it was Seder (like Cedar) the wood but it is Seder (Say-Der). A very traditional Jewish traditional feast done the first day of passover to worship Jesus as the Messiah.

James and Lindsey had us all over for this very customary dinner and celebration on Good Friday and it was a very rewarding experience. I loved just taking time out of our daily lives to learn more about the history of Christ and the traditions that occured over 2000 years ago. James led us all in the traditional Seder dinner and celebration and then after the feast we ate Pasta.

I know.. I know... You are actually supposed to eat a kosher meal that the Jewish people would've eaten but let's face it, we didn't have the time or the desire to learn how to cook a traditional Jewish meal. Although maybe one day we will. The night was filled with laughs, somber moments, prayers, and most of all Glory to God. Thank you James and Lindsey for hosting us to celebrate Good Friday with you. It was great to see everyone!
