Well here we are

I go through periods of being obsessed with the Blog, and then not posting for a week.  Why?  I'm going to try and post a bunch this coming week.  I'm going to be in San Antonio, TX for the Army All American Bowl Game.  It's basically an All-Star Game for High School Football players.  Should be pretty cool.  The Army decided to have an Army All American Marching Band.  Which is basically an All-Star marching band for high school kids.  I'm excited about the trip.  It's going to be a lot of work, but ti should be lots of fun.  One of my best friends Vince is going to be there helping out too.  So that should be great.  We always have a great time together, and we're going to be rooming together and working together for 6 days.  Should be fun.

Christmas was great.  Well, with the exception that I had the stomach flu for ALL of Christmas day.  That sucked!  But the days before and the days after were great.  I will try and take some time to post pictures of the Peffer get together, and of Christmas morning at the Peffer house (which I was not a part of thanks to my stomach ailment).

I just wanted to put something up here since I haven't done it in a while.  I am officially working from home now.  It hasn't really sunk in.  But that's really because of the Holidays.  I'm guessing that once I get back from Texas, and I get myself into a routine, it will feel like I work from home.  

I've been busy getting the website built for my business.  It has been weird only because I have NEVER built a website in my life!  Thank God for the Mac.  And thank God for iWeb.  I would have been lost!  I developed a good outline of what I wanted for the site, and I knew what I wanted.  And I feel pretty good about what I did.  Even though I'm an amateur!  

Well I'm going to go watch a movie with my wonderful wife and eat a yummy meal.  

Adios for now!!

:-)

Where's Santa?!?!

NORAD Tracks Santa!!!

Hmm.....

I wonder why the Hugs melt so much faster then the Kisses.

Hmm...

Today was a big day

Well today was my last day at AGI. Holy crap!  It's hard to believe that I'm done there, and now I'm officially working from home for myself.  To be honest, I was actually more nervous then excited today.  Boy oh boy.  I just hope that I get my butt in gear.  I'm nervous!  But I've got to do it.

Wish me luck!!!!

I've also set up a blog about drumline.  The main purpose was to have a place where my students and anyone else can go and watch videos and see and hear about drumlines. 

Here's the link:

And here's a great picture form the past:

Ice, Ice & Ice

Here's some fun ice around our home.  I prefer lots of snow!

It might be tough to light these guys.

You think a leaf might grow out of this branch?

Neat tree across the street from our home.

I can feel Spring right around the corner!

Google AdSense

Hey everyone!

Megan and I have decided to donate all of our Google AdSense money to the Join Red Campaign.  Some big corporations have put out some products with the (Product) RED design.  A large portion of the purchase price goes towards helping to solve the Aids epidemic in Africa.  The Join Red campaign has done an awesome job!  So many people in that country have been helped.  Megan and I want to be a part of it! 

Check out this vid.

So, everyone needs to be in on this.  Every time to visit our blog, just simply click on the ad you see right below our wedding picture.  Just by clicking on the ad, Google puts money in our AdSense account.  Right now we are at almost $12.  Google doesn't pay anything until it reaches a minimum of $100.  And the tough part is, I can't click on the link!  Only YOU can.  So this is really all of YOU coming together to help make a difference.  

Don't forget, no matter how tough our lives are, or how stressed out we get, we are blessed beyond measure.  There are people being born into poverty and disease.  The Lord created this planet for US.  We need to look out for each other!  So while we stress out about what clothes to wear, how much money we need to make, and that nice car we wish we had, let's take a few seconds to click on an Ad.  

And if you're interested, go check out what Join Red has going on.
