As I ponder the year, and how fast it sped by, here is a short sampling (there are a lot of things left out) of what stood out during the year… You can checkout Samantha’s year end recap as well as Jessica’s. If you have your own year end recap, please post a link in the comments! These are organized by category, not by chronology… Warning, there are a LOT of photos!
I may be in Hawaii, I’m still doing as much or more work as usual. It’s just a lot warmer here ;-). Today I’ve been working on some simple improvements for NetRender (NR), it’s a site that sells hi-res textures. John is my partner on the site and we try to improve the site anytime we can. Here’s what I’ve been up to: +backed up everything (as part of our periodic backup schedule) +removed the credit card logos from the
John Odom, or jodom as I affectionately refer to him, had his loft featured on the blik blog: Caption: Jodom’s pimpin’ pad Speaking of Jodom’s place, Samantha will be visiting John in STL after Shannon’s bachelorette party this weekend. She’s picking up a hard drive for me and hopefully she, John and Angela will get to chat a bit and maybe grab a tasty bite to eat :-).
The little creek near our house started running again. We put up four ricks of firewood today. I’m helping Samantha build a weaving bench out of red oak. Working on souping up a Dell M4400 to be a killer notebook ;-). Samantha and I started the P90X workout routine this week, we’re sore. 🙂

Samantha is visiting family in Bolivar this weekend. That leaves me home alone and up to my own devices. Friday was mainly computer work. Today was mainly remodeling work. Sunday will be some finishing work and clean up; I also need to do some enhancements that John requested for his site. That will complete the weekend :-). Then I’ll be looking forward to Samantha getting home. We don’t have too much pre-planned for the week. However, we always seem to
This has been a good but crazy two weeks. Two weekends ago Samantha went to visit her awesome family in Kansas. Kevin and I had our “guys weekend“. That was followed by a few days recovery for me. Then it was time to go full bore on projects around the house, farm and for work. I also got to spend a lot of quality time with my awesome family (usually in the evenings) so I think everybody had a great
