This is the church we were at this weekend - Philadelphia Church
Seattle, WA. This sign is a landmark in the community. This sign was
once cutting edge then outdated and now old enough to be considered
retro with a very renissance city. (joseph garrastegui would being
taking pictures like crazy around here- this ones for you)

2008-11-03T18:40:00.000-08:00

Whoosh! There it goes! Good thing I didn't want this one

2008-11-03T18:30:00.001-08:00

Blue C's - If you like sushi this is the place to go- but move fast or
the sushi will pass you by.

2008-11-02T22:30:00.000-08:00

Worship at Philadelphia Church Wired Worship service. Great band.
Loud. A bit deaf at the moment. Bekah and
I are sick but somehow still able to sing and worship- a bit of that
extraordinary strength. This morning went great as well. Now for
fellowship and food. I could get used to all the food- very nice
restaurants.

2008-11-01T16:43:00.000-07:00

The Original Statbucks- how cool is that

2008-11-01T14:55:00.001-07:00

We happened upon this troll under a bridge. Check out the VW Bug in
his hand.

2008-11-01T14:27:00.001-07:00

The docks in Seattle. The weather is overcast and drizzling- typical
day in Seattle.

This is where they film Deadliest Catch- how cool

2008-10-31T21:58:00.001-07:00

We arrived in Seattle- Beautiful city- just ate at the "high life"-
Its an old firehouse. Now it's time for bed- my body says it's 1am-
goodnight from Seattle

2008-10-31T19:20:00.001-07:00

The view from up here.

2008-10-31T15:03:00.000-07:00

Bekah wanted her picture with the Moose. I don't know why, I just take
the pictures. Now off to Seattle!

2008-10-31T14:17:00.001-07:00

A little pit stop in Minneapolis on our way to Seattle - if only we
could stop and see our friends

2008-10-31T11:20:00.000-07:00

Somewhere between Pittsburg and DC I am enjoying a cookie and
Starbucks (shoutout to Jeremy and Sarah for the treats) while Rebekah
winds us through the rolling hills of PA. It's nearing the midnight
hour and we are still a distance away from our destination.

2008-10-29T20:30:00.000-07:00

Our view for the next 2-3 hours. Yippee!

2008-10-29T14:26:00.000-07:00

We are officially homeless. A bittersweet moment as we leave our first
home. So long Elkhart...hello D.C.

2008-10-23T19:35:00.000-07:00

Mike Parisi- got to see him in the majors this summer- thanks for the
tickets! Get better

How to retrieve your keys from a pond...

Yes, this is my ultimate "Ahhh! I've lost my keys" scenario.

Pic 1 - A nice fishing outing on the Messick's Pond. Notice the red encircled keys. I like to hang the clicker in my pocket and let the keys hang out so they don't scratch my phone. As you will see below this is not a very smart idea and has plagued me ever so much with loosing my keys.

Pic 2 - Note how the keys are missing from my pocket. I did a little casting and cast my keys out of my pocket and right off the dock. Jordan, Steve and I are now watching the bubbles of where the keys disappeared, contemplating their recovery and wondering "How deep could it really be?"

Pic 3 - Well lets see how deep it is. This is only a small pond... mind you, Jordan and Jimmy both caught 18" Bass moments early... and I hate ponds for fear of having a bass mistake my fingers for worms.

Pic 4 - So I still haven't reached the bottom...

Pic 5 - Time to get a little adventurous. I have reached the bottom, but no sign of the keys :(

Pic 6 - Time to go all in - Head first, both hands - Important Note - I recently lost 19 pounds. My jeans are not very tight anymore. There was a close call at one point, but thanks to Steve and Jordan I remained in my pants.

Pic 7 - Ah, Success!

Special thanks to Grant Black who just happened to have his camera to capture this wonderfully embarrassing event!

Yes, the clicker still works.

2008-10-18T17:52:00.001-07:00

What time is it? Apple Pie time- compliments of Rebekah, Sarah, and

2008-10-04T04:36:00.000-07:00

Because of this man I am up way to early and fishing? Oh well it's
only 32 out. What! Brrr!

2008-10-03T22:01:00.001-07:00

2 is always better then 1... Is that the correct "then/than"? I always
get them confused. Actually I often use poor grammer when typing-
thanks dad! Ha!

This inside a church gym - as long as the basketball court. I wonder
if I'm too tall?

2008-09-20T11:55:00.000-07:00

Yes that is an 8x8 ft. pie pan, and the
Apple Pie was good!
