my wife's on a plane

I just dropped my wife off at the airport. I already miss her.

can't afford the rent, but it looks fun

I ran across this article today.

(CNN) -- Ambitious plans to build a revolutionary 420-meter shape-shifting skyscraper in Dubai have been unveiled by architects. Each floor of the tower would rotate independently, architects claim, creating an ever-shifting shape. The 80-story Dynamic Tower, described as the "world's first building in motion," will also be the first skyscraper constructed from prefabricated units, according to a press statement released by New York-based architect David Fisher's Dynamic Group. Each floor would be capable of rotating independently, powered by wind turbines fitted between each floor. "You can adjust the shape the way you like every given moment," Fisher said. "It's not a piece of architecture somebody designed today and that's it. It remains forever. It's designed by life, shaped by time." Apartments will sell for around $3,000 per square foot, making each unit range in price from about $4 million to $40 million. Work on the tower is due to be completed by 2010, according to Dynamic's Web site.

ok, that's cool!

My brother-n-law got me started on this JOTT thing about a month ago. It has taken my productivity to a new level (personal and professional). I can actually JOTT myself (never thought I would say something like that).

Have you ever needed to write something down while driving? Now you can do it without picking up a pen. Just Jott yourself. Jott converts your voice into emails, text messages, reminders, lists and appointments. Check it out...www.jott.com. Happy jotting!

Kung Fu Panda

Terri and I took the kids to see Kung Fu Panda last week.
Actually the kids took me and Terri and asked us to pay.
Either way...it was fun and I would actually go see it again.

An entertaining movie that helps you realize that we should never give up on a dream.

Two thumbs up.

thirteen years

That's right...thirteen years! Today is my wedding anniversary. I have been married for thirteen years and I have enjoyed every one of them. I am looking forward to the next thirteen years.

And yes, this is a picture from our vacation last week.

If you have taken the time to read this then take another 30 seconds to call your spouse just to say...I love you!

i love vacation

We are having a great time in sunny South Carolina!! I watched a beautiful sunrise this morning. Wish I was a morning person so I could enjoy one everyday. Only three days left. It's happening too fast! I hope it slows down a little.

trusting God to provide

Without going into great detail, I decided to shake things up a little (see last post). In the course of doing so I found that the way I want to see things unfold doesn't always happen. I had it all figured out when out of the blue I was thrown a major league curve ball. Two days of praying, thinking and asking advice resulted in a decision. Long story short...I shook things up a little, got a little shaken up myself, and finally put it all in God's hands. That's a good place for things to be...In God's hands.

are you comfortable?

Is being comfortable a bad thing? Is finding yourself in that place of the same routine OK? I'm not sure. I guess it has its good points, but I wonder if it keeps you from experiencing MORE. Sometimes it's hard to move out of the routine into the unknown. I know...the fear of risk keeps me paralyzed at times. I guess it's in those times that we need to trust God and not lean so much on our own understanding (and comforts). It seems like a scary and exciting thing to leave the routine, but I need to shake it up a little. We'll see what happens.

memorial day weekend

As we wind down from a fantastic three day weekend I am reminded how blessed I am. It has been a fun weekend of friends and family. I am also reminded how blessed we are as a nation and the freedoms we enjoy. The tremendous sacrifices that have been made and continue to be made is humbling. To the brave men and women who fight for our continued freedom... Thank you for your dedicated service to this country.

two weeks

Yep, that's right...
I leave for the beach in two weeks!

one movie down

Terri and I took the kids to see Price Caspian on Saturday night.
Two thumbs up. The kids liked it! This one will make the video library!

movies to see this summer

I enjoy going to the movies, but usually end up watching most on DVD. Here are a few I hope to see before they leave the theaters...

Indiana Jones, Incredible Hulk, Batman, and Prince Caspian (Chronicles of Narnia).














We'll see what happens.
Hope to see you at the movies.
