Hello?
Is anybody out there?
One year...
That's how long it's been since the last person commented on my blog. Much longer since my last post.
What has happened since 4/2/11?
Well, we bought a house. It is really cute and was built in 1946. I would post a photo but they are all on my home computer. I learned to paint, plumb, and put up siding and drywall. It's been hard work but a lot of fun!
I killed a deer.
We went to New York City for Christmas with the fam.
We stayed in a really old house.
We drank a lot of coffee there.
Joel and I went to The Late Show.
I grew a beard (not in one week, obviously).
After the trip, we got the sweetest puppy in the world. Her name is Zoe and she is a Golden Retriever.
She got bigger.
Experienced tons of live music. Here is James Mercer of The Shins.
I doubt anyone will read this. I'm sure most people have removed me from their list by now, so here are a few random words:
stupefy
drive shaft
bounce

For some reason, I still check pleo. -
^^ Me too. The reason is probably that I still pay for it. And also, every once in a while someone posts.
I read your entire post including the words. -
Enjoyed the update! Happy for you and Ash! Miss you both :) -
WHAT?! WHO?! WHERE?! WHEN?! WHY?!
CAN I BELIEVE THIS?!
WHAT TO MY WONDERING EYES SHOULD APPEAR
BUT ADAM POSTING ON PLEO THIS YEAR!!!
I wondered if it was me that you were referring to? Yeaaaaaa me!
Christopher told me you are home owners. Congratulations - I am so happy for you ASHAM! No Bressy here :-)
Love golden retrievers - my favorites. She is a beauty.
Sounds like an exciting time in NYC. Coffee makes things good. More coffee could only make it better.
*Third time back to edit this comment. Congratulations on your deer! How much did it weigh? -
You're still on my list. That is a cute little puppy! You're life is much more exciting than mine.
Maybe because I am 3 years older than your house. LOL Looking forward to seeing pictures of the house. -
Well, well,well! Lookie here! -
Hello! -
Got on today and was surprised to see your name lit up! Cute dog! I read your words, too.
-
I still check pleo every few days, but haven't updated in forever because I don't have gold anymore. I need to come meet your puppy. -
Hey, it's good to see you post and catch up on what's been going on in your life. You've been busy and productive. Welcome back. -
Yes, she is a sweet, sweet girl! Maybe if you come to one of Jonah & Dylan's soccer games, we can bring Zoe! -
Did you like the roasts or steaks best?
-
thats a young deer bigger the deer better the meat is bc its more matuer than a young one like that -
and another thing killing that young of a deer i would be care bc the mom could come around
-
Hey there! Love the recap! -
Mighty deer hunter!!!!!
-
oh ok thats good then u got some real good meat then
-
nice update. Haven't seen you in a long time. Murdering deer these days?! I'm thinking about doing "Angelic Warning" at Camp Tekula on the 29th. Even if you preached that one at Stonegate, I'm sure no one will remember. -
Soon I will no longer be "your favorite aunt in Katy", and I won't be able to claim "your favorite aunt in Groves" because you have another one there! I am losing my identity! Who will I be? Love to you and Ashley, and Zoe!! -
great to see you Sunday! I haven't been on here in almost a year either...and who knows WHEN you'll get this message! ha
Golden Retriever probably = destruction machine! but cute one ;)
Happy Christmas!
-
Maybe you can sell that photo to Corbis.
-
Beautiful couple :) Hope you are both doing well!
-
Love it!
-
He posts! He lives! Viva la photo!
-
Thank you very much Adam L.
-
Its Asham! Beautiful picture. I'm sad we never see yall, we need to make plans to hang out after the holidays! :-) -
Happy Anniversary you guys! -
A very happy anniversary to you and Ashley!
-
Happy, Happy Anniversary!
-
Happy Anniversary! -
That's such a cute picture! Happy Anniversary!! -
You know - speaking of photos. A few years ago I mentioned that outside looked like a frozen, sparkling, ice covered fairyland. You asked to see pictures. I must tell you that (*face turns red, head hangs down in embarrassment) I accidentally deleted the photos! At the same time, I also deleted photos of my children while in Hawaii. Great sadness. I actually cried. So, I am on the lookout to get some pics of any icy time - that's sparkles and will send pics then.
-
how are things in AUSTIN!?? gotta get back up there to Holy Cacao!! mmmmm...
-
Take a look at the pics I posted. Late but better late than never.
-
aww, thanks Adam. :)
-
Me too! Just not sure of the name yet, because Buddy said he got only 2 positive responses... yours and Joel's!! Hahaha!
-
Happy Christmas!
-
Pa-haaaa! Ted you are just ahead of me. Every new white dot I see and check, you were just there. LOL
Nappy Nine!
-
He writes! He lives!
-
In 89 years we'll have 9/9/99.
-
Happy Nine! -
I wonder if I can make age 115!
-
sushi in crosby? yes! Jordan and Dustin ate there 4 times the last week of summer! (not so much now that their paydays are over!ha) but it's a little Chinese Cafe and they think it is better than PF Chang's! whatever!
-
hey there!
-
Yes, the hill country is the most beautiful! Can't wait to spend time with you all this weekend. ;-)
Bittersweet...
Well, as most of you probably already know, today, Jesber is (are?) making the voyage across the pond to Ramstein, Germany. We will miss them very much, but we know that with prayer and God's help, they will further His purpose in their new home.
I ask for your prayers for their safe travel and that the Lord's work would flourish in and around Ramstein.
This will also be one of the biggest changes our family has ever seen, as we have always lived in the same state (with a couple brief stints in Florida at FC). Please pray, as we are, that we will trust the Lord during this time of change, and that we will come out stronger through this test.
Thank you to all who have supported and continue to support our family in so many ways during this transition. We are forever grateful :)
Lastly, I leave you with a few recent photos...

Looks like they made it!

Aww.. I know you will miss them dearly and we will, too! I hope that they can help spread the word in Germany. What a blessing that will be to so many!
-
Feels weird.
-
awe, I love the pics. I know it will be hard for you guys because I am sooo close to my family too!! Maybe you guys can go vacation in Germany and go visit them! -
cute! I love our family! :0) So fun! -
awwww...one of my favorite families!! I'm excited for them! and I really want to go for a visit one day!!
-
They will do great things! Enjoyed the photos :)
-
nice pictures! God will provide, and deliver! He always does! Thinking of you during this time. -
Glad they made it there safe and sound! We will pray for their work. Now yall have a good excuse to go to Germany! :-)
-
Aww, yay! I know he will do an awesome job!
-
So this is the first time I've checked pleo since we've been over here. Thanks for that awesome post. We will miss you as well! I love the picture by the way. I need a copy! -
Prayed. :-)
-
Prayers for all of you and blessings on your family. I know you and Jaquelin will enjoy visiting. Must be an epidemic, I have friends whose children are headed to Singapore and Thailand. Both of my children would go in a heartbeat if given the opportunity of a short term assignment. They love adventure and have fallen in love with travel.
-
Haha... yeah, those wheels are bright. I guess I'm going to have to like shiny wheels now.
-
You know you did the job right when you have extra parts left over! :-) However, don't try that on an ethylene compressor...may not like the results!
-
I'll keep them in my prayers! -
Adam, it was great to see you at Hensel and be just encouraged by seeing you. You're such a good guy and you've always been very welcoming and loving to me and I thank you very much for that. Much love, friend! -
Craig Vetter can help you with that.
-
great family photos! -
a new chapter ... but it's hard :(

Pleonast has presented itsself as an online journal, and a handy one at that. Most of my family and friends have dropped of for Facebook (I have an account, but since it "draws vacuum", I don't use it much) but my mom and your dad occasionally make a comment.
Drop on by!
Aleta, we are doing very well! How are you all?
