Tupperware

It's been awhile since we've posted anything, and since Scott has had his face in his notes for the past 2 weeks...and for the next few days, so i decided it was time to step up and post about my most recent investment.

Remember these???
I'm pretty sure my mom still has the same red Tupperware pitcher we used to take out to the barn to be filled up with fresh milk and brought in for dinner. And those cereal containers...Yeah, she still keeps the filled with Fruit Loops, Cheerios, and Frosted Flakes. Growing up, i didn't know anything other than Tupperware for our storing needs. Good memories there.

So, it was time.
I figured I had gone through enough Zip-lock throw away containers and lingering stains from spaghetti sauce or something a year ago on everything else...


So my collection begins. I plan to have a party on June 11... which i plan to add to my collection with items like this lovely BBQ/grilling set:and FridgeSmart for keeping my fruits and veggies fresher longer... and this cool chopper

Pretty isn't it?

Just some old pictures.

Here are some old photos. I don't believe I posted these in the past. Maybe.

Men's Ministry and Women's Ministry

Katie took off last weekend and went up to the "mountains" for a retreat with the women's ministry. She, along with Shari, led the music. At least that's what I heard. I wasn't there.
Katie, Sarah Beth, and Rebbecca. Jeremy, Jason, Joel...Sarah Beth is single.I took a morning off studying and hit the golf course. It was a fundraiser to raise money for the youth group. We had a blast. I arrived at 7 am to find the other three in my group already hitting balls.
Ryan, Brian, Mike and I. This was only Mike and Ryan's second time on the golf course. It was interesting and let me tell you the home owners on the course are lucky to have damage insurance. At the end Mike said, "Dude, I only lost six balls today!" Good job Mike.
There was a great turn out. Some how we won a trophy. It might be 10th place but whatever.
I stole this photo from face book. Some one took it without me knowing. Dad, let me know what i'm doing wrong.
Till next time...maybe the beach this weekend. We'll see.

100 Degrees in April??

Wow! It's hot outside. That's ok. Just as long as it's cool in the house and at night. Sorry about the delay in postings. I (scott) am having things thrown at me from every which way. This quarter is short so that means more time in class and less time out. That means things get cut out of the schedule...fun, t.v. time, unfortunately exercise, bloging, etc...

But I know people check our blog and want us to update. So here is a quick one.

Katie went on a women's retreat this past weekend. She said it went well and left feeling encouraged by the testimonies of many of the women. She also developed better friendships with some of the women her age as the younger population continues to grow at our church. She led worship with a friend and was able to incorporate playing piano into the worship, which has been really fun for her.

I am eating, studying, and sleeping. Really, that is it. I signed up for a golf tournament to raise money for the church youth group. That is Saturday. 5 more weeks of school. (not including this week) One week of exams. Two week internship. Then one year down and two to go. I guess that went fast. Yeah...not at all.

Kate and I look forward to seeing most of you who read this in the upcoming months. We will bring hugs, stories, and hopefully good company.

Single Parent Family Fair @ Trinity

Katie and I served today at our Single Parent Family Fair hosted by our church, Trinity. It was a time for single parents to bring there kids for a day of fun while they get pampered with a car wash, massage, free everything, car check up, and anything else they need. I was on the car washing team. Some of the cars were so dirty. It was great to help them out.
This is Brian and Adam. Set up throughout the campus were booths intended to help out single parents with every day stuff. Our friend Adam runs a gym in the area and he was giving fitness tips. Brian (w/ the balloon hat) was part the of welcoming team.


Somehow Katie's boss managed to sneak a free neck massage (the one in the middle)
This girl is staring down the weird puppet show that was going on.
Chick fil a was there passing out stuff.
This lady took family photos all day. The pics actually came out nice.

1,000 Steps Beach

1,000 Steps Beach is in South Laguna. Because it is a decent walk DOWN to the beach you don't get many small children and there seem to be quite a few locals.The best thing I ever did was take the Boccie ball set from my dad's garage before I moved out west. (Dad, if you ever wondered, I have the Boccie ball set.) That set has seen more sand, dirt, rocks and roots than any other boccie ball set. I'm convinced boccie and volleyball are the perfect mix of exercise and enjoyment for any beach day.
The winter rain brings all sorts of plant life to pop up everywhere.
The house Katie and I purchased with the money I make at my part time job. I have to throw the "Just kidding" in there for those of you who actually think I'm serious.
I read there were 227 actual steps that make up the pathway to the beach from the road. Between the boccie balls, food, camera, and other necessities on my back going down the steps I was reminded why I exercise.
We made the short drive to Dana Point just south of Laguna. We could have done without but it was nice to say we were there I guess.

Update on this week.

Well, it's my last weekday of spring break. I've appreciated the silence. It's interesting how I always reach for the remote or click for music without thinking about it. Today is nice. I don't even want to talk to myself.

I finished the quarter strong. Five "A's" and one "B". Whatever. I guess grades are necessary. I know the stuff and that's all that's going to matter when I take boards. Hopefully I'll remember it come time.

Monday I start spring quarter. The winter quarter is over and spring quarter is short that's the beauty of it. The last two weeks, which would normally be class, is a clinical. I'll be going to Bellingham, Wa. from June 1-June 12. I'll stay with Katie's family and eat all there food. Kate will join me the last few days and then we will fly to Ohio for a wedding in Jersey.

I can't believe the first year of school is almost over. Now that I think of it. Summer anatomy is short too, so is my fall quarter because of a clinical. Wow, I'm almost done. yeah right.

This weekend Katie has made it clear that the beach must be in our plans. And I totally agree. I've asked some friends about beaches we haven't been. We will see where we end up.
