I know that this is a picture of Angie painting and that these are my goals, I was painting as well, but she was doing such a good job at it that I thought I would get a picture of her painting, rather than me. Besides she is much cuter than me anyways.
So yeah, here we are paiting the second bedroom a lighter tan color to better match the current bedding stuff we had in there, and to better match basically anything else that we want to put in there as well. The pale yellow was not doing it for us and really didn't match too well with the darker yellow bedding we had in there.
Here is the completed room.

I have wanted to serve at a food pantry type place for a while and always kept putting it off or never really acted on it, so I added it to my goals and that got me more involved... Well, to be honest, Angie told me about a week before we served that we were going to do it, I really had no hand in the planning of it, but I was there none the less.
We served at the
Hope Center in Waukesha. I mostly went around pouring drinks and clearing plates and cleaning up the hour and a half I was there, but boy is it a treat to be able to serve in that capacity. There were probably about 75 or so people of all ages that where there taking part in the dinner. There were a few I recognized from around town here. I would highly recommend finding a local pantry or kitchen to serve, it will be just as rewarding for you as it is for them.
There were some really great people there that would be great to get to know a bit more, some, despite their situations, really seemed to have a love for life and the people in their lives. It is a good reminder to be thankful for what we have and to not expect things handed to up on a silver platter.

Hope Center in Waukesha you can visit their

Belive it or not, I have never had the luxury of ordering a pizza and having it delivered - crazy, I know.
I had just finished my
second marathon earlier this day and I figured what better way to gain back the roughly 3500 - 4000 or so calories that I had burned than by ordering a pizza.
I had heard alot about the "new and improved"
Dominos pizza and the cool on-line ordering process, so I thought I would give it a shot. You can actually see on-line when the get your order, put it in the oven and when they are on their way over - pretty awesome if you ask me.
Here you can see that "Kyle" put my pizza in the oven and it is on Step #3 - BAKE.

It's hard to think back to May 24th of 2009, it seems so long ago. That was when I completed my first marathon in Madison. It was a hard finish but I had alot of support keeping me going, my family, friends, my wife, and a good friend
Andrew. We ran the whole race together, start to finish and when I finally did cross the finish line there was such a sense of accomplishment for me and all the emotions leading up to it that I can actually say I got a little misty eyed. Despite the great emotions from the race, I decided because I felt so tired and sore and altogether pooped, that I was never going to do another one...
Fast forward to March 27th and that is when I finished my second marathon and am already signed up for my third - crazy stuff.
I felt 20x better finishing this one than I did finishing Madison and I had
Andrew and
Matt as running partners the entire way. It was alot of fun, albeit not a great race if you are expecting lots of spectators to cheer for you. I think I saw about 10 - 15 spectators the entire time we were out there.
Here we are at the top of the tower at Lapham Peak we had to run up - the highest point in Waukesha County (about 14 mile mark)
One of the total of 4 or so rest areas, but boy were the oranges amazing they had there
(about 19 mile mark)
The studs at the finish
(26.2 mile mark)
