Lake Weekend

Well, here is an updated picture of my friend Matt. You remember, that guy who is getting married in a little over a week... I told you he has dropped some pounds and is looking quite svelte. Here he's pictured with his beautiful fiance Deb, and that fine young man in his arms is Jackson!

We had a great time this past weekend at the lake house. The weather was perfect and we spent much time out on the water... the best part of Lake Kerr is you are almost all alone on the lake! Apparently, 80% of the lake is owned by the Army Corps of Engineers, so it hasn't been built up and probably won't be. We had plenty of room to maneuver the boat, tubes and ski's. Unlike last time, we have no injuries to report! Guess we learned from our mistakes.

I sure missed my family, but it was a great weekend to hang out and catch up with some really good friends!!!!

Bachelor Matt

This weekend I am heading to Lake Gaston, VA with a group of my friends to celebrate the upcoming wedding of my friend, the real Matt Edmonds. Matt and I met in the 3rd grade and over the years have become best of friends... he's a brother to me. I am excited for Matt as he winds down the final weeks of bachelorhood and enters into the next phase of life -- the beginning of a wonderful marriage with Deb.
Matt's aunt and uncle have been kind enough to allow us access to their lake house. It is one of the nicest vacation homes i've stayed in and the views are incredible. I am looking forward to a great weekend of chillen out and catching up with old friends... also, boating, skiing (well, trying), tubing, campfiring...

In the first picture, Matt is standing far left. Please note: This picture is 3 years old. Significant weight has been dropped since and Matt is looking fit and trim for the wedding day.
The second picture above is supposed to be lake gaston.

Golden Corral

Tonight, Jesse (J $) and I headed home from the Big "M" and decided to stop off and grab some decent grub. I say decent because, in my opinion, the Golden Corral has never been that great. With exception, ofcoarse, to the bread. Absolutley the highlight of the meal, in regards to culinary delights. The low point of the meal came when we decided to try the "yam sticks". Self explanatory and taste just as bad as it sounds! I think it made Jesse throw up a little in his mouth, but did not keep him from returning to the buffet for some mashed potatoes. Jesse and I shared an evening of good conversation and laughter. Points of conversation included:
- Baskin Robins million dollar taste tester
- Worship styles
- What you would want to be an expert at
- How Jesse's singing voice sounds in his head
I laughed so hard people were staring... or so he says. Jesse is an outstanding young man and I am blessed to be his friend.

If your wondering, the big "M" stands for Meleney Equipment. My current place of employment and Jesse's summer job. He works in the warehouse and completes monotaneus tasks with a joyful disposition. He found that Akon is not respected by the Big "M"'s current warehouse employees.

A good day... a great evening.

So long.
