Yellow Jackets

25Aug08

Thank God for Intruder HPX. If I had been using Suspend SC, I would have been stung.
26 yellow jackets, all together.


The first group of wedding pictures are in. Thanks Maureen!

The rest are over at http://www.MrAndMrsNichols.com


I’m not one of those “everyone should be equal” people, however, I do believe that those who build the financial mansions should share in its riches.

Thank God for Independents.


Field Trip

22Aug08

To celebrate Dad & Bethany’s (and Kailey’s ) birthday we went to The Newport Aqaurium near Cincinnati, OH.

The lifecycle of a seaturtle. I stood there for 100 years to get this picture. Borrrrring.

UPDATE: Me laughing at Julie for working instead of joining us.


Walk down I-66

19Aug08

Future corridor of I-66 through Kentucky, but today it was our sidewalk.

The two porcelain dolls are now sitting on our antique vanity dresser, which was also caught in a fire.


Who We Are

19Aug08

I think Jesus had it right. Don’t tell people who & what you are, let them decide what you are to them. Actions don’t always align with words, so we must humble ourselves to outside opinions.

I’ve been updating wedding details over at http://www.MrAndMrsNichols.com – eventually it’ll turn into a couple’s blog or something of the sort.


I’ve never been one for signs, but as strange as this was, I have to think it meant something.

Jules and I have been struggling with something this week and having something happen like this that is so clearly defined and associated with the Bible, God & peace, helped us.
Why do doves represent peace? Because [...]


Rearranged

13Aug08

Just think about it
Lately I’ve been skeptical
silent when I would used to speak
Distant from all around me
who witness me fail and become weak
Life is overwhelming
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
I’d love to be the one to disappoint you when I don’t fall down
But you don’t understand when I’m attempting to explain
because you know [...]


Vows

10Aug08

Everyone asks you why you’re with me and while my gut reaction is to tell them to SHUT UP, there is a very simple answer to it. You’re happy.
Happiness is subjective. People think of happiness as a pinnacle, while I believe it’s a 5 foot high plateau with no end in sight.

Box vs Reality

05Aug08


Who I am, how I am, regarding my personality, is defined. Very defined.
