Great View

So this week Amanda and I are on vacation with my family down in Deep Creek, Maryland. It has been a great time so far.

The craziest part is how cool it’s been. Since the nice front came through it has been in the 60’s yesterday and maybe today. So a little to cold to swim yet.

What I’ve really enjoyed is reading books and just thinking through all the different life changes over the past year, and those to be coming.

That’s all for now. Check out our view below.

40 million less…

Well, the time has come and I have to blog about my vacation.  I was kind of avoiding this because it means that vacation is over, but it’s time to face the facts.

Overall, my vacation went really well.  Amanda and I had a good time with her family.  They are always fun to hang out with.  We ate some good food all week long, meaning, I ate enough food to last me to next week.  Seriously, I think I binge ate junk food while sitting on the beach, it was gross.  People were probably looking at me thinking I’m deprived or something.

yummy!

Speaking of food, I ate a muscle while I was there.  A steamed muscle.  One night we were watching Dirty Jobs on TV and they went to a Muscle Farm, it was pretty gross.  The next night we went to this seafood place, and sure enough, they had steamed muscles.  So I ate one, just to see what it was like.  I decided it was like nothing.  Really, it tastes like nothing.

As far as my goals go, I did most of them.  I didn’t get to finish any books, though I did read a good bit.  I didn’t get sunburn, but that is because I was putting on 80spf and staying under the umbrella the whole time.  I do feel rested.  Now I have to get back on routine though.

They funniest part of the week was a little news fact I brought with me.  Before we left for the week I was watching the news and they said there would be 40 Million less travelers this holiday season.  I thought that was pretty significant.  Well, we noticed it!  Typically the beach we go to is packed, along with the boardwalk and roads.  We got around with no problem.  We got into restaurants quickly, and had all kinds of space on the beach.  Every time we noticed a lack of people we kept saying 40 million less!

All in all, it was a good time.  I’m glad we got to go, though, now I think Amanda has had to much of me for to many days in a row.

In other news, I have some big changes coming up here soon.  My blog may be finding a new home with some new initiatives!  So, my blogging may be lacking over the new few weeks because of some busy stuff coming up.  I’ll keep you posted!

Goals for the week

So here are my goals while at the beach:

1) Relax (obviously)

2) Read

- My ARC copy of Margaret Feinberg’s new book The Sacred Echo and write a review

- Finish reading Jesus For President

3) Not get burnt

4) Maybe do some Photoshop tutorials,

5) Come back refreshed!

You guys can keep me accountable for how I do.  I might not blog while I’m there, but I’ll probably be using Twitter.  You can check out my twitter status on the side over there or follow me here.

See you on the flip side!

Blog Block

I’ve had blog block lately, partly because of my busy schedule, party because there are a lot of things going on in life right now too.

Sorry for the lack of blogging, hopefully after my vacation coming up I’ll be refreshed again.  Maybe I can keep you updated if I have access to Internet while we are at the beach.

peace,
