Way too busy! But had a blast doing it all!

Where to start? Well, I am just started another semester closer to me graduating with a degree in construction management. This semester starts the more in depth construction courses which should be a lot of fun because of lots of hands on stuff, but also all the math I get to do. Yes, I'm a freak because I love doing math.

This past summer, I worked most of it at the National Guard Armory where my unit drills. I worked there to help get things in order for when my unit comes back from Afghanistan in September. Being able to work there got me a chance to live at home for the summer and it was the first summer at home since the summer after my senior year in high school. This meant the family got to see me all the time again. It was good to be home that long too which meant home cooked meals!!

Also, this summer I was on staff at the FC Chicagoland Camp again. This year, I was a counselor in Buccs with the middle age boys. That was a blast to do. Being up there at camp is always fun because you are out in nature seeing God's glory while being attacked by deer flies and mosquitoes. It is always great to be down by the lake for morning devotions with fellow Christians singing songs and seeing God's creations all around us. Also I was in charge of bus one going to worship and that has the really little kids on it. My favorite qoute from camp was Sunday evening getting on the bus to go to worship, Jena Mosburg asks Justin Alvarez about me because of me yelling for the kids to follow me, "Is Seth always this loud?" and Justin's reply was a simple, "Yes he is." Also this year, I brought out the face paint for the Philippians. It was our signature to me yelling, "Let me see your warface!" All in all, it was a great year at camp this year even though I lost my voice again. I hope to be back next year too.

Well thats all for now from Normal, but remember I'm not normal. Remember to always give glory to the Father above for all we may accomplish in life. WeeMan out!

    Yes, you are a freak.

    The warpaint is disturbing, but I am not surprised that you always have a way of making a statement. Red shirt, black tie, anyone?

    When I mentioned to Ethan the age of the boys in your cabin, he noted that you were that age when we got married. Crazy!

    She's easy to miss. She was a pretty amazing lady (until the strokes). Every thing about me is a product of her instruction. I could quote her while cooking, doing laundry, mending, shopping, etc. I spent more one-on-one time with Grandma than either your mom or Aunt Donna because I was last. I do miss her terribly.

Remember the Soldiers that protect this country during the holidays.

  • weeman3486
    A lot of soldiers are away from home during the holiday seasons so remember them and their families as you gather with yours.

    Thanks Seth. You too. Just trying to be an responsible, married, Christian adult. I hate when some people don't get it that it's normal to make mistakes lol aka Parents. Oh well. Any big plans for Thanksgiving break?

It has been a while and I have been tagged.

I know I don't comment on this enough, but life is full of lots of stuff to do especially when one is in college. Right now I have 4 and 1/2 weeks left of classes this semester and I am looking forward to having winter break. Thanksgiving I'm off a week for school and my parents and I (and maybe my brother) plan to go to Ohio to see my sister and family over that holiday. I saw snow Sunday night driving back to school from Rockford, IL and it shows falls already over and that winter will hit hard this year. Oh and yes since the temperature is dropping, I have been baking stuff lately. I made apple-crisp first part of October and I made brownies on my birthday. I'm glad I was lucky enough to have parents who cook and taught me how to cook. Of course though, I do experiment on different types of dinners I can create. Now here are my 8 things since I was tagged.

1)I have been told before that I grew up in the wrong era because my dream car is a 1969 Chevy Chevelle SS. Either Illini orange or navy blue.

2)When I was little I wanted to be a firefighter when I grew up.

3)In my immediate family, I am the weird one in the bunch. I am the only one with a birthday ending in an odd number and I am also the only one to have a birthday toward the end of the year.

4)I never took a home economics class growing up and yet I know how to sew, and crochet and cook.

5)My senior year in high school after the football season was over, a couple of teammates from the football team and I started "Dress Up Because it is Thursday" where we would come to school in a suit and tie just because it was Thursday. It started with 5 guys doing it and went to a quarter of the school doing it by the end of the school year.

6)When I was about 9, I jumped off the house roof.

7)I am known to randomly funny lines from all sorts of movies.

8)I learned to drive through the many years I spent at my grandparents' house mowing their many acres on the riding lawn mower.

That is my list and I'm sticking to it. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here. So until next time WeeMan out!!

    Who taught you to crochet? Bet you learned all that stuff in Scouts!

  • roseofsharon
    I also love the idea of "dress up because it is Thursday."
    by roseofsharon at 10/28/08 4:14PM
  • curlie
    John and I never thought you knew how to cook. When did you ever do that when we were around? Mooch. :P

    You wanted to be a firefighter? Really? :P

    You ARE the weird one.

    Crochet? Where are the nieces' and nephew's blankets?

    I did not know about #5. You're a weird trendsetter!

    This has been enlightening.... Thanks for that. I love making apple things in the fall! So good. It just makes the house smell wonderful. I like "Dress Up Because It's Thursday." Though, I have modified that to "dress up because I am going out in public." There is just something about looking like you have it together when you go out for all the world to see. Have a great day!

    Oh, I know about the firefighter thing. I was giving you a hard time because I knew that one VERY WELL. :P

C.F.C.B.C. Summer Camp

I'm back from an exciting and uplifting time being on staff at camp this past week. It was great to see everyone again and to be able to spend a week learning from God's word. It was also fun to be able to play on a sports team. It was all around a great week of being with friends and fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I hope to be back next year. Now I'm getting ready for another semester at Illinois State University to start the 18th of Aug. Where does time go anymore? Well that is all for now. WeeMan out!

    Glad you had a good time! :)

    I've been scheming behind your back. Wouldn't you like to come see me? In the summer there are lots of nice girls here to meet. (wink, wink). They all seem to disappear when school starts. Wish I'd thought of it sooner. :)

In one piece and on solid ground!

I just returned this weekend from Ft. Benning, GA and Airborne School. I graduated Friday with my jump wings. I know I may be crazy but I had a blast while I was there. I jumped out of an airplane 5 times from a height of 1250ft without getting injuried. God was watching over me and keeping safe. It was so hot there as well. I know I lost weight from the heat and running at least 4 miles almost every day. Now that I'm home I'm just relaxing a little bit. I don't know anything else right now. WeeMan out.

    If you lost weight, where'd you lose it from? Did you have any to lose? It was so good to see you - all in one piece, too. :)
