happy birthday 4amblue. two years old today.
here's a little something from the archives.

to me, it seems longer. 2 years doesn't sound right. but i suppose that's what it is. a year ago, my tan skinny body was sitting outside a computer lab in kona, hawaii typing a post and now it's sitting inside the computer "lab" here at the souled out building. a year has taken me to strange, far places and brought me right back. hawaii, fiji, switzerland, italy and israel twice. God has allowed me to travel the world, following him and it has pretty clearly changed who i am, inside and out.

God does the craziest stuff when you just simply trust him. i mean, look at 4am. now RYAN is in hawaii, jon's finally back home, kasper is still missing, eli still provides us cool pictures of tanks and here i am, where i usually am...at heart&soul. souled out has changed a whole bunch, too. tim's the youth pastor now, we've got a fully operational master's commission up and going and not to mention the cool stuff coming a little bit down the line with the leadership team.

being home from travels is really an adventure in itself. looking for a job stinks, but God is still being faithful and providing me with everything i need. jon is home, and i can't tell you guys enough how wonderful it is. it seems like we don't do too much, but i can tell you that that's mostly true. we search for music, make comps and laugh, and laugh and laugh.

but at the same time, ryan is gone and it's hard not having him around. ryan man, i miss you so freaking much. and jon, i'll never be able to express how grateful i am that we hang around each other and how humbled i am by having the honor of calling you and ryan my best friends. i love you guys, and this year only has cool stuff waiting for us. be it in japan or a dumb job.

i need to go, cause i got a cell group meeting now, but here's to another year with 4amblue. where would the world be without it?

okay wow, have i got a link for you guys. some recommendations: fly, jump, run around, watch tv, eat chicken, sit on couch, destroy, die and our personal favorite, poop. get creative, it does pretty much everything you can think of.

you've got nothing, jon.

go see the lady killers. so far all the guys here have loved it
and all the girls have hated it.

i must say that tonight was rather eventful: peanuts, silly putty, disappearing easter brownies, about a boy, just about stale cocoa puffs, glencoe beach, walking straight into a bench, a hurt ankle and knee, thunderstruck, sheridan road, dinosaur beach, flash wars, 4 new comps and local law enforcement even showed.

not bad...jon, post those pictures, man.
also, i hate posts like this.
