Rooting for the Underdog

Many of us enjoy rooting for underdogs. David against Goliath. That small school playing cross-town rival huge school. Notre Dame in the national championship...

Tonight's underdog: Team Orange.

After a dismal start, several strategy changes, smoke & mirror tactics, and turning opponents against each other...Team Orange mounts a come-from-behind victory. Crowd goes wild. Confetti flies. Champagne corks pop. And everyone is encouraged to come again, only if they enjoy losing.

If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em...

...and if ya join 'em, might as well play better than them.

My wife's 1st birdie.

After a smashing drive and a good shot with her 3-wood, she pokes a 8-iron ball to 3 feet from the pin for a tap in birdie.

Men, sometimes you have to let you wife be better than you at things. Men, sometimes they'll be better whether you want them to or not.

She must have had an excellent caddie.

Sometimes even Santa likes easy...

Merry Christmas...

Vacation Essentials...

It appears everyone has to do their "thing" on vacation...going to the beach, playing golf, hiking in the mountains, etc...

Here's some snapshots at past vacations...

Some views pictures can't do justice
Essentials


The classic "horse" request...



Preparing supper...it's awful hard to beat fresh.
Some need things to fix on vacation.







Sometimes we work on vacation...or at least make our friends work.



Night fishing.




It's vacation once the fort gets built.

Exercise on vacation?

Everybody now!!!


Mom's still got it!!

Blog Names?

Aren't blog names sometimes more interesting than the blog content and/or people writing that content??

I'll begin with ours, titled really because the blog idea sprang up shortly after the marriage idea did. It was sort of the beginning of our lives together and at the time, the idea of taking the time to sit down and write about life seemed like something we'd have time for. Great idea, poor execution.

But we'll begin there...

The Engagement -  
Engagement pics tend to be fraudulent. Two people getting married, smiling at the camera, and generally wearing nicer clothes than usual. Not really what my engagement was like.

 But i guess i don't know how to take a picture of talking on the phone instead of sleeping, debating honeymoon destinations, and somehow spending a whole Saturday registering.

The Wedding Day
Epic for several reasons. Mostly because it was just our day. With people we love. Glorifying the God we serve.



















The Getaway
Sometimes ideas just pop in my head. This was one of those...

Overpromising & Underdelivering.

A classic "No-No" in business, the idea of over-promising & under-delivering guarantees any company the loss of customers.

Or any blogger the loss of followers.

So, a year and a half later, we update our blog. Hopefully to post more frequently, because life is too interesting not to document.
