What I Did Today

What I Did Today – Dec 4, 2006

Wow, today went way too fast, except the 2 hours I waited at the baby doctor’s for the locksmith to come ’cause I locked myself out of my van again (3rd time). We found out that the baby is normal size and that Brooke is at 1 centimeter… so we’re get closer. Ok I’m tired so goodnight.

What I Did Today – Oct. 26th, 2006

Today was another funeral, but this time someone in my family. It was my grandma’s sister, Kate. She is a follower of Christ which made it great. Here are some pictures of my day:

Grandma & Grandpa Phelps Street in Albia Centerville Iowa Gpa

I also had to go to Sprint to get my phone fixed ’cause I broke off my headset plug in the jack. They had to order me a new one :( But I get a new one with no scratches :) I also went to baby classes. Know I know how to clean my baby :)

Other than that I just did a bunch of usual stuff that I don’t want to write about ’cause I’m tired and I want to go snuggle with my wife. Goodnight.

What I Did Today – Oct. 11th, 2006

Today was a slow starting day. And it’s already 1:00pm

Best thing – Looking at houses. There are two we like but we haven’t officially decided yet.
Worst thing – Slamming my McDonalds between the service and practice.

What I Did Today – Oct. 10th, 2006

I’m going to start keeping track of what I do everyday. I will probably miss some things but I just need a place to keep track of it all and it only makes sence to put it here. I mean if you want to know about me and what I’m doing then this works great. So…

Best thing – Free food, duh.
Worst thing – Looking for the memory card for about an hour.

Today was one of those days that went way too fast, as usual. It’s one of those days you work hard all day, skip lunch till 3:30 and grab hour old pizza rolls from a gas station, then feel bad when 5:00 comes because there’s so much more work to do, and tomorrow is already Wednesday. Now my wife is already in bed, asleep. Maybe she’s still up reading her book and I’ll be able to fall asleep with her. And of course I get to rub her tummy and say good night to my baby. Goodnight.

Addicted to Chipolte

I thought it would be fun to do a live blog. I am actually in Chipolte right now in Minneapolis, MN with my laptop and cellular internet connection. I’m here with my cousin Brian and his two boys, Mattathias & Nathanael. We came to the cities to pick up Brian’s Leatherman (tool with a knife in it) from the airport. Last weekend we went to Las Vegas to the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show and we decided to carry on all of our luggage instead of check it and forgot it was with us. So Brian left it at the Business Center to pick up later. Anyways, now we stopped at Chipolte because he’s never been here before. Here is a picture:


We would also like to say hi to our wifes, Brooke & Andrea, who are back at home in Rochester and Newton. Hi! We miss you! Ok, gonna go now. Bye.
