Whoa! Six monthes of silence! Not cool!!

So I checked in on the website today and saw that 6 full monthes have now gone by since my last post. Saying I apologize does not do it in a situation like this. Unfortunately that is all I can offer. I sincerely hope that this will never repeat itself, because what good is a website or blog if you never update it? With that said, I suppose I will try to fill those of you who are out of my daily circle in on what I have been doing all of this time.
My summer was excellent. I had a laid back job working landscape maintenance for the Sycamore school district (at home in Cincinnati, Ohio) which entailed me trimming about 500 shrubs and moving a lot of mulch. I also got to watch The Price is Right everyday this summer on my lunch break. Another big event this summer for me was the World Cup. All I can say about that is that the World Cup is amazing, especially in HD. My goal while this was taking place was to download every match in high definition and have my own DVD collection of the world cup. Unfortunately this eventually caused my computer to crash after I had downloaded about 30 games. I am still working on getting whatever else is out there.
The end of my summer was crazy-hectic as usual. About a month before school was going to start I was invited on a road trip to Nova Scotia, Canada to visit grandparents of a friend. The drive is 26 hours one way and we only stopped for food and gas. Once we got there, we got settled in and had a pretty relaxed week. In the mournings we would help with general maintenance work around the outside of the house and the rest of the day we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. Sometimes we went out for a hike and to skip rocks at "the cove", or we drove golf balls at an island 200 yards across the sea. We also played a game called Settlers of Catan a lot. And to fill in the rest of the time we either read ot talked. The food was great. Each dinner was made from scratch and we had something different every time. It was certainly a great experience.
When I got home my next project was to begin construction on a set of drawers that would be put under my water bed. I hope to have pictures and a video up that I took to document the ordeal. The video was done on the tail end of an all-nighter I pulled to finish staining and polyurethaning my drawers. I imagine those of you that know me would find it funny. Well that project took up so much of my time that I wasn't able to move into my new house on campus until 2 days before class started! So I am just now to the point where I have gotten settled in and organized.
The school year looks like it will be another great year. Academicly I have a light schedule this quarter with one class on mondays and no class on fridays (7 classes total). This has allowed me to pour into my passion at Ohio State: Campus Crusade for Christ, where I helping to lead a freshmen Bible study in my old dorm, Taylor Tower. So far everything is going great and I can't wait to see what God has instore for us. I also am going to be the webmaster for the Ohio State chapter of the Amaerican Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) whcih shouldn't be too hard.
Well, that's where I stand as of now, so hopefully you feel up-to-date on my life. Oh yeah, and how could I forget, I have season football tickets to what is sure to be a breath-taking season of Buckeye football. Being #1 and having beaten #2 Texas and having a very well ranked opponent from up north to visit us in the last game of the season, this will be one season not soon forgot. Go Bucks!
