28 Feb 2010Apparently there was a weakness in my blog theme and someone was able to hack their way in. It doesn’t look like there was any damage done, but everything was being redirected to various ad sites. I’ve changed the theme for right now and everything appears to be okay. Who are these people?

1 Dec 2009I’m down in Brookings, OR for a few days to do some insurance work with Colonial. This is my first time on the southern coast and I was blown away by its beauty. I’ve been to the central coast several times and that is beautiful in its own right. But this area is even nicer! [...]

24 Nov 2009I have to admit, I like looking through all those ads in the Thanksgiving Day newspaper as much as anyone. (Although I hated delivering that thing as a paperboy! Extra work and weight and no additional pay.) After all, who wouldn’t get excited about standing in line at Kohl’s at 2 a.m. so you can [...]

23 Nov 2009Meredee and I have been taking part in the Alpha Course at Eugene Christian Fellowship for the last couple months. The course is a “Christianity 101″ if you will and covers the basic tenants of faith. Although I grew up in church, I thought it would be a good review and a way to meet [...]

5 Jul 2009I don’t know where along the lines it happened or if it’s always been something I’ve done and not cared enough about it. Over the last couple years, I’ve noticed myself not keeping my word like I ought to. Sure, it may not be in monumental matters such as international treaties or sworn court statements, [...]

11 May 2009Last month I went to the offices of Colonial Life to follow up on a possible job lead my dad had initiated. They were interested in talking to me further about working with them on employee enrollment. The reason they gave me this opportunity was due to my Spanish abilities. Having someone who could speak [...]

10 May 2009Meredee and I went downtown Saturday to use her new camera and she even let me take some pictures of her. This is no small feat as she generally doesn’t like her pictures. But she let me that day and we got some nice shots. She also took a few of me in a cool [...]
I’ll admit it. In some ways, I’m a simple boy from the Midwest and am occasionally reminded of my cultural or worldly ignorance. In other ways I’m better traveled or “cultured” than others. It’s all relative I guess. But even though I’ve lived in South America, learned Spanish, and tried to understand the culture, there [...]

7 May 2009Congratulations to Meredee on getting her first DSLR camera! She had been contemplating what to do with her annual bonus check and even offered to put it toward paying bills. But I told her it should be used for something that she wanted and would enjoy because she had been so sacrificial with other money [...]

6 May 2009Meredee and I were married on January 16th of this year and it still surprises me that I’ve found someone who wants to be with me for the rest of my life. After leaving college, a DC internship, Argentina, and RMSP, I’ve become accustomed to goodbyes and returning to being alone. I remember traveling at [...]
