We had a great time visiting. Hopefully we'll make it up soon for a longer stay.



Meg & I posing with The Simpsons while waiting to watch Spider Man 3 (the longest movie of my life)

We had a great time hangin out on the way to & from the movie with Steve & Andrew. And while waiting in line for the movie. Thanks Steve for letting us crash over there. Thanks Nanny for the platter of goodies.

A little update on me while I'm here:


  • I'm starting my summer classes this week.
  • I got my grades back from last semester & I got all A's!
  • I went to the Gwen Stefani concert this past week & had a blast. (No hating please!) Here's a fun picture I took there:

  • This past weekend I went to a College and Career retreat & while I was there we saw a video called "Indescribable" of a message that Louie Giglio spoke. He referenced a few lyrics from the song Indescribable by Chris Tomlin:
    Indescribable,uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.You are amazing God...

Throughout his message he showed varies pictures of different stars and galaxies that are around the Milky Way. One of coolest things that he showed was this picture....

This is an image of the Whirlpool Galaxy (larger one on the left) and a dwarf galaxy(smaller one at the upper right). Not only is this image amazing because of its beauty and the fact that God created it but there is something very special about the very center of this galaxy......

This is an image of the nucleus of the the Whirlpool Galaxy:

This is what they call the ""X" across the nucleus of M51". Now I don't know about you but it sure doesn't look like an "X" to me it looks more like a cross.

I thought that was so cool. Not only did God make all of these stars and galaxies but (in my opinion)he even placed a little reminder of the love he has for us in the center or should I say heart of one of his beautiful creations.

I just had to share these images because I think they are remarkable. If you are interested in the message by Louie Giglio my remarks on it don't not give it justice you can order it here.

Andrew's visit in Tennessee

Andrew went up for the day to visit Wyatt. His mom sent some pictures of their visit. I thought I would share them. They are so cute! He's helping Dada build his tricycle with his tool belt on & all!





That's Wyatt's new Deigo doll from grandma sitting on the ground. That huge thing made it all the way up there on the plane for little WyWy.
