Peoria, IL Lifechain 2007

I thought I would post something about the lifechain my Church took part in earlier today.

I don't really have time to write anything of merit so I won't even try. This is going to be a picture post!

Historic Peoria...

While walking through the older parts of Peoria, I found a great little area. At the top of the bluff, in Peoria, there are some awesome houses. Which date back to... 1800s, which yes, I know, isn't THAT old, but I love the style of the homes and the age they proudly proclaim. The house below was one of them which had a plaque providing information about the home. Enjoy!




p.s. sorry for the bird doo doo. :)

Well we had a successfull first run of paintball this year. Here are some pictures from the event.

Dodge this!

As you can see I was able to enjoy a day of Dodge ball. You won't see me in these pictures, but I did play. These would be some of the highlights from todays games.

"Look at me!"


We bring you Speedy Gonzales!


"I wish I had teeth like Micah" sigh*


Good form!


I don't know how to play dodge ball, but I do know how to look cute.


Is it just me? or is he too excited!


I feel for the poor soul at the other end!


"It would be easier to throw if it was smaller then my head!"

Um... thats right! Dancing.

It has been requested that I post pictures from the "barn dance" experience!. Yes! I was there and again, yes! I did dance. Now that we got that out of the way, I can begin posting pictures from this event.

Unfortunately, due to the lighting restrictions, I didn't have much opportunity to capture the dancers in a recognizable fashion so I decided to to focus more on a creative approach to the problem. I also got some of the musicians, they weren't moving too fast.

Winter Fun!

Well, I driving in the snow, but getting stuck is no fun. My personal attraction to driving in the snow arises from the challenge provided by it. Driving without spinning out and coming to a unfortunate demise, is indeed a thrill.

Well last night I had an unfortunate happenstance. No, I didn't spin out and come to an unfortunate demise. I'm writing this post aren't I? hmm....

No I found out that my Camry wasn't made to plow snow with its front bumper, and that if the snow was deep enough, No matter how good of a driver I was, I wasn't going anywhere. Well of course I wasn't alone, but I will change the names to protect the innocent parties! Me and "Bill" were stuck, and after my car failed to produce acceptable distance in 15mins, we concluded we must walk.

We were currently 1-1.5 mi from "Bill's" house, so we proceeded to make a run/walk for it. The snow had stopped coming down at this point, but we still had the wind and drifting snow to enjoy.

Well to make a long story short...

We made it back, a tow truck then came to pulled out my car, which by that time had gotten barried under 4ft of snow, by a wonderful county snow plow :D.

To say the least, My car and I are NOT on speaking terms as of today. We are considering counseling, but I don't expect it to help.

Drawing: To be, or not to be?

Yesterday, at school, I figured I would try my hand at drawing a fellow student. Below is my drawing, not too close the original idea, but I thought I would pass it along for critique.

Cast your vote!!

1. would you like to see more drawing in the future?
2. would you rather not see anything so terrible on my blog again?

Wonderous Flexability

Well as you probably have probably figured by now, as we get older our bodies assume less and less flexability.

This photo I took last Sunday shows incredible flexability that us older folks can only dream about. The other amazing thing about this is that the subject still maintains an incredible amount of cuteness while bent in this manner.



Let me know what you think of the photo and if you are able to read this; DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!
