Hawaii Vacation

IMG_6600.JPG

We got back about a week ago from our vacation in Hawaii and I think I am finally recovered from the jet lag. We were able to go with my wife’s family and stay on the North Shore of Oahu. It was an incredible time. We really enjoyed our time there and spending time with family and each other.

We were able to visit Pearl Harbor, the Dole Plantation, the Polynesian Cultural Center, The Punch Bowl National Cemetery, Went to Sharks cove on the North Shore to snorkel, MANY beaches, and lots more that I am not thinking of at the moment.

I have hesitated to post pictures just because there are so many and I have a hard time picking just a handful to post. Hawaii has so many beautiful aspects beyond its beaches (which are awesome of course). These few pictures will have to do for now.

I am alive

I apologize for the long absence. (I am of course assuming there are hundreds of disappointed readers.) I had no personal computer for about a month. My ibook suddenly crashed. (logic board they say) I am now the proud owner of a macbook pro. Yes, I took the opportunity to upgrade :) It is handling my design work beautifully. Anyway, thought I would do my favorite thing and post some pictures of Ari.

Blogroll Update

I made a few updates to my sidebar that I wanted to let you know about.

1- My friend Joy finally has a blog and already has some great content.

2 - Birch Champeon, a friend of mine and missionary has put together a very cool, practical blog with tips for survival on the mission field. Some great reads.

3 - In January I started a second blog called Design Speak as a creative outlet for me as well as a way to interact with other creatives and hopefully establish some contacts. Feel free to take a look.

There are some other updates as well but I just wanted to draw your attention to those.

Snowmobiling

A week or so ago we went snowmobiling on the lake that is at the end of our road. Our friends Josh and Kate have one and brought it over.

We are taking our church to the moon

To the Moon
by Sara Groves

It was there in the bulletin
We're leaving soon
After the bake sale to raise funds for fuel
The rocket is ready and we're going to
Take our church to the moon

There'll be no one there to tell us we're odd
No one to change our opinions of God
Just lots of rocks and this dusty sod
Here at our church on the moon

We know our liberties we know our rights
We know how to fight a very good fight
Just get that last bag there and turn out the light
We're taking our church to the moon
We're taking our church to the moon
We'll be leaving soon
