It's on like Donkey Kong

So... Brian posts a blog... I must retaliate and keep the lead!

Or something... Eh.. I'll just pretend we are competing if only for my own amusement. Glad to hear from the best man though!

Speaking of wedding activities... Planning for the big day seems to be in full swing! The church activities are gearing up, and Kelsey is in hot pursuit of a flower supplier and all things invitations! The good news is that in just a few short weeks I get to carry around a little laser gun and register! Just last night I learned that Kelsey got us all set to register at.... (drum roll please) MENARDS! Things are looking up for Kevin's tool collection! HA!

We got back from the Cabin in Hatfield and had a very fun time. The lake was still down, but we still got to go swimming and enjoyed a few boat rides! Kelsey finally saw all that there was to see! Even though the water was down, we still got pretty far up river thanks to Uncle Dave's amazing driving skills! I'm always thankful when I can sit back and drink a few beers on the lake. However, I did get to drive Dad's boat for a few seconds. It brought me back to my younger days. Memories of jumping out of the boat at 30 MPH and tubing at sometimes faster speeds made me smile, and hurt. I think that might be a good bachelor party idea. Jumping out of boats and making our bodies hurt for weeks on end just to say a perfect farewell to the younger years that are no more!

The good news is that we have a new young crowd at the lake! In just a few short years I'm sure i'll be volunteering to pull Trevor and the cousins behind the boat while the parents get a break on the beach! Should be a good time!

Well, I've done it. I finally got sucked into fantasy football. Thanks to Russ and his league, and the opening that Rich and I are currently holding onto. Yep.. we're team "Orton/Grossman '08." That's a Bears reference for all you newbies out there. I have no idea what the end result will be, but i'm hoping to have some fun with it. Even without the FF league i'm really excited for football to start up again!

This is definately the time of year where i start to get excited about a lot of things. This year the list is a little different. But there are some old favorites. What I can't wait for:

1) High of 60 degrees (Perfect for Sweatshirt/long sleeves)
2) Projects to get done in the back yard.
3) Engagement Pictures at SJU
4) Hockey Season!
5) Gopher B Ball Season!
6) Performance Review for work
7) Another Chirstmas in our own home!

I'd say i'm not a specific season person. I definately look forward to the CHANGE in every season. May be why i can't pick a specific season as my favorite. I get too wrapped up into looking forward to the next one after I've witnessed the same ol stuff for a few weeks.

Oh well.. i guess we just keep on pushing forward. The wedding is getting closer! I can feel the excitement building! Or is that the stress too?? Who knows! I just can't wait until it gets here!

HO K Peace out!
