Hello dear readers. It’s been a few moons since I’ve last posted here and quite a lot has been going on.

I’ll start out with Settlers of Catan on the Levi and Ice Cream. Yum! Scruff, Jordan, Amy and I had a rousing game of Settlers of Catan on the Troy Levi. It was a great day and we brought food for a picnic. Randomly Nate and Dana saw us playing and decided to hang out. We all headed over to Dan’s for a movie and were surprised to receive ice cream cones. They were very tasty!

Next is my family vacation to Detroit which was mucho fun.

If you’re wondering if you read that correctly, you did. We went to Detroit to see a Tigers ballgame, to check out the city, to visit the Henry Ford Museum, Deerfield Village and to see G.I. Joe (which I’ll have you know, can be done other places besides Detroit, unlike the other activities). Unfortunately G.I. Joe followed the same path as many movies today and completely destroyed the G.I. Joe story and put some strange impostor in it’s place. But that’s a topic for another time. I had an excellent time hanging out with the family in Detroit and staying in the Pink Palace, which sounds quite scandalous but in reality is quite harmless.

Some pics from the museum are below:

It was a great vacation and I’m glad everyone could make it this year. On the trip up and back I also got to spend lots of time with my girlfriend which was x-cellent.

Since vacation there has been lots of hanging out with friends (seems like there is a Sogeti birthday every other week), going to Kings Island with Sogeti, reading Harry Potter (I’m on the 6th book, so addicting!), men’s night out, visiting Lis and Brian in Cincy, buying some suits (ye-yeah!) and generally taking it easy.

In there was also a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) night with Tayo and Justin who work with me at Sogeti. It was a pretty fun time where they taught me some submission holds and we spared a bit. Check out some of the amazing pics below:



The MMA session was very enjoyable and informative. Unfortunately Tayo is out for a few weeks recovering. Recovering from a surgery, not the MMA sparing. At least I think so. Keep your eyes glued to the UFC to check out our respective climbs to world champions.

In other news, I am in the midst of switching clients which makes life pretty interesting. It’s crazy knowing that whatever client I end up at will determine a large portion of my life for the next few months or years. Thankfully I’m not worrying about it too much and trusting in God to open the doors to where He wants me to go. It’s really peaceful being able to give something my best effort and accept the outcome even if it’s not the one I desire.

O, almost forgot. My friend Esther just started a blog. She is spending a semester studying abroad in Costa Rico which is sweet! Check out her blog here http://unsemestreencostarica.blogspot.com/. It has also been added to the links on the right. Have fun readin’.
