    Hello Sean! Congratulations on becoming an architect! If you work really hard, maybe one day you'll be as good as Mike Brady from the Brady Bunch. (Sorry, he's the only famous TV architect I can think of right now). So are you still in Boston?

    Sean, hi! This is Liz Smith in Warner Robins - remember me? I gave Peter an apron with a photo on it of the two of you washing dishes in Dublin!! I saw Fiona in Bowling Green. Actually, she saw me and recognized me which really tickled me and came over & greeted me. She told me Peter & Lauren have a baby now. You're an uncle - YAY! Your mom sent me a family picture that had been made. It was great, but I don't remembe you in it... where are you living now? Congrats too on becomin an architect.

The land of 10,000 lakes.

In Duluth, MN kicking back with my folks, Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins and Cousin-in-laws. I got to see my Uncle's new log cabin on a lake... very nice and I learned that my Granny can fly a Concord (well she can play an organ, but it looks like the cock-pit of a fighter jet).
Otherwise, I'm thoroughly enjoying NOT being at work.

THANK GOD FOR THE RAIN!!!!

He always answers prayers, but I especially love the ones that I don't even pray for... He's just watching out for our best interests.
I'm trying to buy a condo with the Lyons, and perhaps we'll take over Houston one condo at a time. :)
Otherwise, I lament to say that I can't worship at Eastside anymore as it's just too far away and I cannot be as active as I'd like. I hope you Eastsiders understand... we're still brothers and sisters... and what a great group of the Lord's people... great elders, great preacher, great family!
  • laughing_eyes
    how sad for the Eastside family ... what area are you moving to?

CINCO RANCH IS OUT!!!!

Hey ya'll.
Very sorry 'bout the delay... you see I came to Kirksey at the end of a very tough project (a bank at Cinco Ranch) and had to pull all kinds of crazy hours. THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!! Otherwise, life in Houston is purdy good. I'm really enjoying getting to know my Eastside Family (the church) a little better. I still have not been able to go real-estate hunting like I'd like, but all in it's good time.
Hope you are well!

Be well and try some wasabi green peas... you'll love 'em.
  • flgatorgirl
    my bf ate 2 grape-sized amounts of wasabi, and the next day brought wasabi green peas over to snack on. something's wrong w/his stomach, there has to be. they're still sitting in a bag 2 feet from me, i'm not really cool w/that...
