Reunion and Wedding

It was great having my family and Jessie in town for Abbi's wedding, family reunions, and visits. Everything was great and my only wish is that everyone could have stayed longer so we could have had more fun.

Grizzly Adam or Smooth Adam?

Little Things

At work I am required by policy to do a lot of little things that seem very stupid and insignificant to me. It frustrates me when I feel like I am wasting time doing these little things when I could be doing other, more important, stuff. I wish I could just forget about the long checklist of things but I know it would come back to haunt me later. I guess this is a good life lesson. I probably put to much focus on the "big things" in life and often disregard the "small things" which are very important and if left undone can cause tremendous difficulty and hardship. I will continue to try and do the little things on a more consistent basis and with a more upbeat attitude.

Portland Trip

I am a little bit bumbed these days because Jessie is gone for the next few months on a semester abroad trip to Hawaii. Before she left I was lucky enough to have her go with me on a quick trip to Portland to see my parents and have a little get away. We had a fabulous time and hopefully the fun there will help me survive the next weeks while she is accross the ocean. Here is some pictures of our fun.

Oops

Jessie had 5" cut off of her hair the other day and I didn't notice when I saw her after. Whoops. Hopefully she doesn't feel too bad. It looked good before and it looks good now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday Dad and Abbi!

Ying & Yang

I think balance and harmony are some crazy things and difficult to establish in this life. I sometimes wonder about my balance and harmony and have had a difficult time working through the balance and harmony of some of my dreams and desires.

I would love to live in the bustle and excitement of the city but I would also love to live in the peace and tranquility of the country. I would love to have an expensive automobile like a Austin Martin, BMW, or Mercedes but I also enjoy the redneckness of an old truck or jalopy. I love the excitement of a big party but I also love just kicking it at home where it is quiet watching ESPN. I like classical music with its artsyness and beauty but I also like rock 'n' roll for its raw emotion and outright crazyness.

I'm not sure if these confessions make me indecisive, a trend follower, unbalanced, completely balanced and in harmony, or possibly something entirely different. Whatever it is, I guess I'm it.
