World Vision

It’s official, I’ll be spending the summer in Federal Way, WA (near Seattle)! I’ll be working for the African Programs department summarizing field proposals and some other work. It’s been looking good for months, but the final decision was made last week!

The White Stripes announced their new album a little while ago. Here’s the cover art:

Manly Weekend and an Update

April 17th, 2007 -- Posted in Cool!, Insight on Dan!, Kim, Strips | No Comments »

Last weekend a dozen or so guys from Cru went on the annual Men’s Retreat. Usual activities include shooting potato cannons, football, eating a lot of meat, and blowing things up in the fire. Each year the explosions go up in intensity (this year was model rocket engines and aerosol cans). And we had 6 cannons instead of last year’s single cannon. It was an amazing weekend up in the Adirondacks. On a serious note, the speaker was really good. He was just an average guy with a lot of good advice gathered over the years.

The cannons look something like this and were 4-7 feet long:

Potato Cannon

As a fan of good music and Get Fuzzy, these are hilarious:

That’s enough of that.

School’s winding down for me. I’ve been writing papers for what feels like forever. My 25-page history thesis is coming along. I keep reminding myself that these might be the last few weeks of school ever; unless I go to grad school…

I’m also in the process of working out an internship with World Vision. I’ve had two interviews and I’m currently doing some work for them so I can get a feel for it and so they can see if they like my work.

Kim’s getting a lot of work done on our marriage (sex) quilt and it’s going to be beautiful! We’re also coming long well on our table. It’s primed and we’re starting to work on the checkered top. We’ll post plenty of pictures when it’s done.

It’s been so long since I’ve posted that I don’t remember everything I wanted to say…
