Off to Alaska

I finished packing all of the stuff for Alaska… Quite a Task! Espcially not really knowing what to pack. Some days its going to be upper 50’s, some days it will be like the upper 30’s! (When we are in the Glacier National Park). Also, some of the Dinners are “Formal” wear, some are casual… [...]

Alaska Here We Come!

Getting everything packed up for our trip to Alaska! Our plane leaves at 6am tomorrow morning! Early! It will be a LONG day of travel before we get to the Cruise Ship.
We’ll be back July 5th, so expect pictures then (or probably the next day since I’ll be crazy tired!)
Oh— and No Cellphones, Internet and [...]

Here is Pastor Mike, Eric, Scott and I almost at the end of the game (we moved a little because there was basically no one there). Scott at least gave a thumbs [...]

So as I was walking today around campus between classes I got to wondering how many miles a week I do travel on foot between my classes. So I went into Google Earth which has this cool feature you can make a map of where you walk on the live earth view and it will [...]

Get Smart

Went and saw Get Smart Saturday afternoon (with a friend that I haven’t hung out with in a long time!).. anyway, it was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while! I believe what made it even more comical was remembering the good old high school days when we made “spy movies” [...]

As I said in my earlier post, Spaceship Earth has taken on some major changes since I was last there in 2006. Siemens AG took over sponsorship and has changed a lot. At the beginning of the ride they have a touch screen on your car where you select where you are from and [...]

One Word— AMAZING!
This was probably one of, if not the, best weekends I have ever had! As most of you know, I went down Friday to meet with some of the Disney Casting Directors. I began the morning at 9am with a meeting with the Director of Casting. She shared some wonderful insight into working [...]

Useful Finance ;)
