March Madness

I sent out invites for a Bracket Challenge. You should have all received one (check your Facebook account if you don't get on in your email). If I missed anyone, let me know.

Fill out your bracket on Facebook or on CBSSports.com!

I am terrible at brackets, so I have only dumb luck to hope for, but perhaps some of you know what you are doing?

Home Sweet Home

It is good to finally be home.

Orlando was amazing. Our hotel had an alligator pond in it. Ate dinner in the same restaurant as some Tampa Bay (Devil)Rays. Saw the final launch of the Shuttle Discovery.

North Dakota is a type of cold that cannot be described. I am fairly certain that I got freezer-burned. I walked across the Missouri River. Fast moving water... frozen. My grandpa is doing better than I had hoped after starting the week having a very rough time getting around. By the end of the week he was able to get up/down, navigate their apartment, and stand to cook without assistance. He switched away from the super-industrial-walker and back to a more normal apparatus after the doctor gave him the green-light to put weight back on his hip.

All-in-all the trips were successful, but two weeks is simply to long to be that far from my house. Especially when it is negative 60 outside.

Where in the world is Jonathan Sandiego?

Spent last week in warm sunny Florida... I stayed in a private villa, got to watch the last launch of shuttle Discovery, got treated to super fancy dinners including one place where I got a Green Tea Cheesecake with Edible Gold trim..

This week the snow is up to my shoulder and it is negative 20 degrees. It has to heat up 52 degrees to be freezing here. My grandparents are doing well, we have a series of appointments and errands to take care of this week, but by the end of the week they should good to go. The doctor's appointment Thursday will tell us if grandpa is ready to walk on his hurt hip again.

Love you guys, and will be back in a week.

Rusty and Bryce, we should schedule our Left4Dead2Athon!

Get Ready!

So, it has been brought to my attention, by multiple people, that I suck at trash talk.
Well, one friend of mine has decided to help change that and bought me a book entitled insults and comebacks, so get ready....one day my trash talk may match the best of the best.....one day.

CM's BiRthDaY!

Hey everyone! Claudia is forcing me to make this look good, thus the crazy title, and green lettering. It is true what they say, "Green looks good."? We are coming up to Cary for Claudia's birthday, and as everyone deducted, except maybe Bryce, from the picture, we are going to Firebirds! We can meet at the parentals house and leave from there Saturday, March 5th, around 6ish. You are all invited to come! Hope to see you there!
