Someone's in the kitchen with Sticky.....

Well hello bloglings,

Here's the last week or so in review:

1) Erin and I have been thinking about bullmastiffs alot...... we like bullmastiffs. I used to live with a bullmastiff named Moose, and she was the sweetest dog I've ever been around..... We found a baby bullmastiff that needed to be adopted and we thought - Battlecat, is that you? But alas, several factors are working against us...... First off, we don't have the time/money to train a a baby pup, Second, the adoption place never responded to my e-mail inquiry, third - the adoption place wanted a donation of an extra $350 on top of the adoption fee for their time and efforts..... which I'm sure they deserve but a $500 adopted dog is way out of our price range.......
So Battlecat lives on in spirit, and hopefully one day the time will be right for us to acquire one.....

2) Erin and I got play with some friends this past weekend!!!! Huzzah for friends! I'm really lonely here in TX with my med school studying wife...... she works really hard and I wash the dishes a lot...... So anyway I got to hang out with Bill (www.kaleobill.com) this weekend and we discussed many things including (but not limited to) eradicating ethnocentricity in the church, effective church discipine, and the Lord's Supper, so that was a good time. On Saturday night Erin and I had dinner with Aaron and Sarah (Sarah is a 3rd yr med student) and Justin and Rebecca (friends of Paul McCarley's) at Chuy's (www.chuys.com). I had a chuychanga, and it changed my life..... I can never be the same..... Chuy's is like the only place in TX that serves green chile so Erin and I were elated...... and seriously the chuychanga rocked my world on so many levels...... if there was an aisle to walk down, I was ready to dedicate my life to Chuy's and transfer my membership......

3) I got a phone call from a certain individual telling me that he got engaged this weekend, but as he hasn't updated his own blog..... I am unable to comment further here, but I'm very happy for him. Way to go person to be named later when you update your blog......

4) Houston has been experiencing a cold front which means that the temp has dipped into the 70's....... in Utah at 70 deg. I'm in shorts a flip flops...... here, people are busting out the heavy sweaters...... but you know what.... when the temp has been in the 90/100's since I've been here, the 70's feel amazing.... so hooray cold front.

5) You have to go over to Paul Rudnicki's blog and check out his picture that links to my blog..... it is amazing... it really is a 'raging' llama..... I've never seen such an amazing picture of my favorite quadriped..... (ostrichjockey.blogspot.com).

6) Oh..... I almost forgot to blog about this..... I played indoor soccer last week with some people from Erin's med school.... I played goalie and I was clearing a ball (indoor soccer is played on a field that resembles a hockey rink and you can play off the walls etc.) along the wall - I really struck it well, and it bounced off the wall and directly into the fingers of a gal who was playing in defense for us..... it was her first time (she happens to be a 3rd yr. med student interested in sports medicine) playing indoor, and I think I broke her finger..... so that sucked..... but we did finish the match tied 3 all, so it was overall a good experience.....

OK...... that's the week in review.... more posts when something interesting to write about strikes my fancy.

grace -
