Universal Studios on Mother’s Day

Emerils Restaurant Outside at Universal StudiosEmerils Restaurant Inside at Universal Studios

Okay, I know I have not written a post in a while. That is because I am trying to tie up loose ends on the two big projects I am working. They are close and I am quite proud of them. :) More importantly, they got done. Those applications were basically willed into being…my will that is. :) The interesting part is that everyone wants to use them now! They people are happy they are there. However as we all know in the IT world, the paper work is usually slower than the application. :) Oh well enough about work.

I did want to share a little bit about some time I tried to take off right before the rollouts of the software. However, as you have probably already guessed I spent most of the time working. Anyway… My wife and I wanted to do something really special for my Mom on Mother’s Day. Of course my wife would reap the same benefits. :) On with the story…it turns out my Mom is a big Emerils fan. So since we were going to the happiest place on earth (will be in a later post :)…guess you will have to come back to see what that is about! :)), we decided to take her to Emerils restaurant. I believe she was excited and enjoyed it. :) There was a hefty check considering all of the people in our party, but it was worth it to see the happiness in my Mom’s eyes. By the way, I believe my Daddy enjoyed it too. ;)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! Remember the reason for the observance, and give thanks. Amen.

Happy New Year!

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Happy New Year everyone.  This is where everyone writes about all of the new year resolutions.  If you guess I am about to do that, then you are absolutely correct. :)  However, I will hopefully be a little more reasonable than some. 

  • I intend to loose some weight.  Notice I said some, and did not indicate a specific amount. ;)
  • I will also try to exercise more than I did in 2006.  So, if I do this one I should be able to keep the first resolution.
  • I intend to also not stress so much about work.  However, this is predicated after I have my IT shop organization in place.
  • I intend to spend more time with my family.
  • I intend to do more things for me.  I may or may not elaborate on this some time in the future.  Guess you will have to keep coming back to see. :P
  • I intend to pray and attend church more this coming year.  Once again, if I keep this one then all of the others will be achievable because prayer makes all things possible.

I believe five should be enough.  This is enough for me to remember and to possibly keep. :)  Speaking of keeping…

I hope you are also making realistic resolutions and setting some achievable goals to build upon.  I wish you and yours prosperity in 2007.

Cheers!

Christmas

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

Christmas always brings a warm feeling to me. It marks a time where we are to think of others and not ourselves. We should also remember what the season is really about. We should also ensure the children of today also remember what this time is about. With that, I want to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas!

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Also, I will be saying a special prayer for Kermit and his family.

Thanksgiving…What are you thankful for?

Monday, November 21st, 2005

Sounds like an innocent enough question. Here are few things I am thankful for:

  1. God
  2. Family
  3. Health (Any health is good ;))
  4. Shelter
  5. A honest way to provide for my Family
  6. etc.

My list could actually go on and on. What are you most thankful for? Let me hear from you.

Cheers!
