Before and After

Im sorry to those who care that it has taken me so long to get these pictures posted but things have been nuts around here and we had an accident with our digital camera and thus I had to scan all the images before I could post them. Anyways check out the links and tell me what you think......Little different I am sure.

Our Home Before
Our Home After

Picture of the house and Moses

Couple of pics for you all. First is a picture of the outside of our house after all the work has been done. Will be posting more photos on that a little later.



Next is probably the best picture of my dog that we have taken.

Final Home Update

WE ARE DONE.....How about that for an update. Crystal and I got the house painted, the fence painted, the driveway pressure washed, the mulch laided, the bushes trimmed, and last but not least a new Bradford Flowering Pear tree planted. So as you can imagine we have worked our butts off and now I am ready for a vacation. Anyways check back later, probably tomorrow or Monday, for before and after photos of the Extreme Home Makeover Exterior Edition.

Happy Easter and a home update

Well just wanted to take this moment to wish everyone a happy Easter. Remember that we should be joyful and happy that on this day we celebrate new life. The life that was destroyed arose from the dead and thru that gave us eternal life. Thank you Lord Jesus.

Also just to update those on our extreme homemake over (exterior edition). We have the fence wire brushed, the weeds on the fence pulled or killed, the lawn mowed and trimmed, new grass seed laid, the skirting and rain shield all replaced on the house, the siding replaced(that needed be replaced), and all the wood patch work complete. We will be starting in the morning with the painting at the butt crack of dawn and hopefully if things go smoothly we will be done with painting of the house by end of Tuesday. Then we paint the fence and hopefully after that take a day or two to enjoy our "vacation". Isn't this how you would like to spend your vacation?

Blogging on hold

Aight, I know I don't have a huge fan base or anything like that for my blog but those who care starting on Thursday Crystal and I will be working on the outside of our house for about 9 days. I am going to take some before and after photos for everyone to see but during that time I will not be blogging as I will be a little busy with painting, landscaping, and repairing my house.

Windows Vista???

Ok I anybody who knows me knows that I am a tech junky. I love computers, games, TVs, DVR's and sound systems. So it is fair to say that I keep up with quite a bit of tech news. So when I found out that the newly, soon to be released for second half of 2006, Windows Vista(aka longhorn) was delayed I was not shocked. Microsoft yet again proved that they are the only company in America that can get away with putting out a half finished product and offer "Service Packs" to fix the bugs they missed and/or not meet any deadline they ever set. If anyone remembers XP was late too. I am really getting sick of this crap from Microsoft. Unfortunitly I have to use it but I don't rely on it anymore. My company uses Lotus Domino and Notes, by the way IBM is a great company who actually puts out a quality product and they are always ontime, and I have quit using Office for anything that I can get from Open Office by Sun, another quality company. So with all of this said I thought I would link a few of my favorite software packages and a couple of good blogs for anyone who cares about tech.

Mozilla Firefox(Web Browser)
A quality Microsoft Office Replacement
IBM Lotus page
From there you can download a free Lotus Notes client that will do all your email needs
A Blog about IBM and Domino

These are just a couple links to some good software that isn't microsoft. So i guess you could say I have joined the anti microsoft group. GO LINUX!!!!

Pride

Have you ever let pride get in the way of letting you do something you know you should do. The speaker at my church last weekend had a great definition of pride and humility.

Pride: Caring about what other think of you.
Humility: Caring about what God thinks of you.

That is a tough pill to swallow cause I want everyone to like me and sometime in my life I have do so at the expense of my Heavenly father.
