Well...hello. It's been like 23 months since I've written. That is just how busy it has been lately. Work has been crazy. This is our busiest time of the year for Birmingham Coca-Cola. We have this big thing called "Image Review" every year. It is where most of the Corporate and Upper Management of the company inspect our sales territory. It is a very detailed thing. The CEO of our company and members from The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta will be in town picking apart my accounts in efforts of determining better ways to sell Coca-Cola products. It is a stressful time of year, but after April 25th everything will calm down and I will be able to just settle in and enjoy the selling season.
I went to Winter Park, CO. on vacation the second week of April. This was my second trip to Colorado and my third snowboarding trip. This was a great trip. I tagged along with my friend Clint Kimbrell who attends the University of Arkansas and the University Baptist Church of Fayetteville, AR. It was a great trip. There were roughly 50+ people that went. I had the opportunity to meet some great new friends. I really became a better rider on this trip. I rode my first "Black" on this trip. Worked on riding moguls, which is really hard and very exausting. Dropped into a Superpipe and attempted to grind rails. Hit some pretty HUGE jumps. Got a few bruises, actually my neck is still a little sore from eating the bottom of the Superpipe, but no major injuries.
I can't say the same about some of my new friends. We had like 3 broken wrists, 1 concussion, and some other dude banged his up pretty good. I've got another trip planned for December. I plan on going to Winter Park or Breckenridge. I'm trying to get a group up to go, so if you are interested let me know. It should be farely inexpensive. You would be surprised how cheap you can get by. Now that I've been a couple times, I've got the whole condo, rental, airfare thing figured out. It's not that difficult anyway, but if you've never been it can be a little cumbersome.
As far as other things go. Read a great book while I was in Colorado. "To Own a Dragon" by Donald Miller. It is a fantastic book about Don growing up without a Dad and living with a great man who taught him a lot about life. Currently, I'm reading "Soul Cravings" by Erwin McManus. So far so good. He's talking about how God created us to be relational and to love Him. Finished a pretty extensive study of Galatians. Really enjoyed that. I think I will start studying I Peter. Don't know yet.
MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC. Diggin a lot of new stuff. My friend Kenny Bozich is in a band called "The Almost" and their record came out entitled "Southern Weather" came out last week and it is fantastic. Taking a liking to few new bands: Circa Survive, Cold War Kids, Brand New, The Starting Line. The Academy Is... has a new record and I like it too.
Well, that should do for now.
One Love...
