Not much going on around here

Weekly update, but not much to update! Settled back into work after portland trip, and work it is. Next weekend I have an open house at MontanaSky, we will see how it goes, will be cooking hot dogs and have the radio stations there, a busy time at work. Isaiah is doing great in college, honors student (and reaping the rewards of additional scholarships because of it) and is hoping to go the the Meadowlands for the MLG tourny in April. Micah is skiing a bunch, heading up today while dad works :( The weather has been beautiful lately, sunny and warm, for this time of year anyhow, had a nice bbq last night and feeling like i might be ready for summer. Gina's job is going well, she even said "I am enjoying it" which is nice. My work week actually went exceptional, one of those weeks where all the "loose ends" came together and lots of items that have been hanging out there got finished, which always feels nice. Thats about it, hope all is well with everyone and see ya next week.

Home Again!

We made it home from the Big Portland trip. We had tons of fun and stayed quite busy for sure. We drove over all day on Wednesday, found our hotel and awaited the bus to arrive with Micah on board. Around 8pm the bus got to Concordia College with a load of tired kids, they set up their sleeping area and headed to bed. Thursday we watched basketball games and then went to the family fun center where Micah played tons of laser tag and go carts. Friday we got Micah to his Math Competition, he did great, we spent the evening at the Mall and then went to Imax Theatre. Saturday he spent almost the entire day playing chess where he really did spectacular. Around 50 of the best brainiacs in the Lutheran School system faced off, Micah ended up in 6th place, won 4 out of 5 games (one little mistake or he could have taken it all!), but what a great run. Then, the long drive home! Gina spent most of the time eating at Panda Express and wondering around the mall. All in all a great trip! Will post more later, hope everyone is well.

Big Week coming up!

After a busy week of work and a busy weekend of skiing and grocery shopping and organizing and doing taxes, the next week will be great. Today (Sunday) is a lazy sittin' round the house day, a calm before the storm. Monday is going to be crazy at work, lots to do, lots to catch up on and long days on the horizon. Packing at night, getting the house ready to be gone (Zay is staying to care for the dogs and to keep the place in tact) then the same work day on Tuesday. Wednesday early morning we will drop off Micah at Trinity for the long bus ride and then make our way to Portland, should be a great trip, we are really looking forward to it! Watch for live Portland updates!

MontanaSky Open House

Last night I had an open house for MontanaSky and the Kalispell Chamber. I had spent a lot of time (and company money) getting ready, had a great Taco bar from Qdoba, had a bunch of brochures printed, had everyone clean up the office and organize, it was a big undertaking. It was supposed to start at 5pm and go for a couple of hours. Anyhow, 5:00 comes, no one is there yet, I was getting a little nervous, you know, throw a party and no one comes. Anyhow, around 5 minutes after 5, people started showing up, we had about 120 total show up, all the food was gone, it really turned out great. What a relief and I was really happy with the event. Gina, Isaiah and Micah came up for Taco's, lots of other business people I know showed up, talked til I was horse and still got home in time to see American Idol.

one more short post for the day

One of the very best things I have been enjoying this year is the Daily Audio Bible. My favorite reader of all time, Brian, reads the bible completely through in one year. He reads from many different translations, so you have to be open to that, but the message is always great! His main site is www.dailyaudiobible.com and is great. If you want to download all the readings like I do, and I listen each night when I go to bed, they can be downloaded at http://feeds2.feedburner.com/dailyaudiobible I hope you enjoy Brian as much as I do!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

What a great day! We love super bowl day......fun, food, great game and commercials! Had a great week and were very busy, updated newletters and other stuff on the family website, got lots of work done, Micah went Skiing, Isaiah went to a LAN (game party) and Gina has the day off for the super bowl, what a great day indeed. Hope you all have fun and GO ARIZONA!!
