<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Well Done Good and Faithful Servant" </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">are the words I believe Joe's Dad heard as he enter heavens gate April 23, 2012 at 7:40 am.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are some many things I don't want to forget about the days leading up to and including his wake and funeral. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Going to get Drew a suit and Hunter immediatley picking something out for himself. He ended up with the new suit. Drew wore a jacket of Hunter's and a new pair of pants.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Hunter wanted to get a tie in his Granpa favorite color. Joe called his Mom she said it was blue not dark/not too light and that Grandpa would have that color tie on. We got 3 ties all in the most beautiful color of royal blue. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*It was is that same conversation that I was asked to do a reading and Joe was told that he was voted on as the one to say the eulogy. No pressure. We had been working on an obituary that everyone liked. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Drew and Hunter were asked to be honorary pallbearers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*We had a band trip as well as other family members being out of town. Joe's Mom graciously gave enough time for everyone to get home and gather their thoughts. His funeral was a week after he died.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*The wake was from 2-9pm. It was heart warming to have a steady stream of people for all 7 hours. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*ALL of Joe's friends stopping by</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*The next morning saying a last goodbye with all 6 of his children gather around their mother and all of his granchildren in attendance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*The pallbearers being called to circle up for instructions Joe, his brother, Bob and Jim, Son- in- Law George, grandsons Bobby, Drew, Hunter and good friend Tom Dunn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*The persession to the church and upon entry the preist said the most beautiful prayer and draped a cloth with a cross over the casket. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*The song "Surely the Present of The Lord is in this Place" as we proccessed in.</span><br />

<st1:state w:st="on">Illinois</st1:state></st1:place>, the son of Werner and
Adeline Dorman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He graduated from St

making 60 cents an hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He spent 4
years working as an electrical apprentice, then 8 years as a foreman until
suffering his back injury.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After his
recovery he began working in the office as an electrical estimator and project
engineer, eventually working his way up to the position of Vice President and
remained there until his retirement in 1993 after 46 years of service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His largest project was the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Sears</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Tower</st1:placename></st1:place>,

</span>I’m told that at these ceremonies, that workers write their names and
messages on a special beam before it’s hoisted into place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously, Dad missed the ceremony, so the
next time he went to the job site he took elevators as high as he could, then climbed
the stairs, and finally he had to climb a few ladders and found that beam way up
high in the building and wrote everyone’s names on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the way, the <st1:placename w:st="on">Sears</st1:placename>
<st1:placename w:st="on">Tower</st1:placename> will ALWAYS be the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Sears</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Tower</st1:placename></st1:place>

at Little Flower Catholic Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
met at a Sunday night dance at St. Kilian’s Catholic Church; a dance that Mom
had to lie about her age to get into. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You see, she was too young! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During their courtship, Dad would call Mom all
the time. During those days you had to actually give the operator the phone
number you wanted to call.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He called so
often, that his sisters, who hid under the table to listen and make funny
sounds, still remember Mom’s phone number <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Stewart 3 - 0844”. They settled into their

Gabriel who first met Dad as young neighbors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They were so close that they created their own language and would
communicate in a gibberish that no one else could understand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad did make other friends over the years and
was a founding member of the ADGVT Club, which was a group of friends that met
monthly for dinner at each other's homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

quietly off to the host's bedroom and reset the alarm clock for 2:30 AM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It took awhile for the group to make the
connection that it was my Dad behind the early morning alarms, and not a

many summer vacations camping in National Parks, especially Yellowstone, Grand
Teton, Rocky Mountain, and Glacier National Parks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started camping in a pop-up camper. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order to save space, Dad would allow each
family member to pack whatever they wanted, as long as it fit into a brown
paper grocery bag, he was the only one allowed to use a suitcase. This is the

crazy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only problem was that my
cousins were camping in a tent towards the bottom of a hill and water was
entering their tent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My Uncle Joe was
out there in the rain with his hammer digging a trench around the tent so that the
water would flow around it and not inside it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

with all of the things that went on in a house with 6 kids, 2 parents, dogs and

out in my mind like it was yesterday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was the day that Dad came home and said he bought the bus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The family was eating dinner, it was raining
out, and Dad comes in through the side door into the kitchen, he says,
"Guess what, I bought that bus", and he proceeds to walk through the
kitchen into the living room so he could hang up his coat in the front hall
closet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom was following him hot on his
tail and she was saying "What?, You bought that bus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How could you?", "Bob, what the

many weekends restoring the bus, repairing broken windows, the plumbing system,
and fixing electrical problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think
that my brother Bob secretly enjoyed driving the bus on those winding mountain
roads with big drop offs right at the edge of road, just so he could watch how
"excited" Mom got seeing those edges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An avid
fisherman found him the proud owner of 21 foot Fibreform boat where he spent
many weekends and summer vacations chasing after Chinook Salmon in <st1:place w:st="on">Lake Michigan</st1:place> and Door County Wisconsin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joan caught the largest fish on his boat,
weighing in at 32 pounds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BUT, you
should have seen the one that got away! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before the big boat, Julie recalls a fishing
trip when she was about 3 years old when Dad caught and landed a large Northern
Pike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fish was in the boat flopping
around and Julie was starting to climb the sides of the boat to get out and she
could here Mom shouting at Dad from shore to watch out for Julie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad was torn, but after measuring the fish,
he threw it back in the water and kept Julie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Later that night, he was telling folks about his tale and how large the
fish was and they all said he should have kept the fish because it would have
been a record. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the years, on those
rare occasions when Julie would do something that was not so pleasing to Dad,
he would mutter "I should have kept the fish."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Joe was sheduled to arrive home friday afternoon after a 2 week trip to Kazakhstan. Thursaday night we found out that wasn't
happening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="yiv790379122MsoNormal">
He left Atyrau, Kazakhstan early <span style="color: #1f497d;">F</span>riday morning for a flight to Houston with a
connection in Moscow. <span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>He noticed they were
circling Moscow, the pilot came on and said something in Russian. <span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>The only word Joe understood was "<span style="color: #1f497d;">S</span>heremetyevo", the name of the <em>WRONG</em>
airport. </div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="yiv790379122MsoNormal">
He asked the flight attendant and she said they
were <span style="color: #1f497d;">being </span>d<span style="color: #1f497d;">i</span>verted bec<span style="color: #1f497d;">a</span>use of fog.....<em>THE SKY WAS
CLEAR.</em></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv790379122MsoNormal">
They landed, come on the intercom and asked by
vote if they want<span style="color: #1f497d;">ed</span> to stay on the plane
(for several hours) or get off. It was a unanimous get off! There were only 23
pass<span style="color: #1f497d;">e</span>ngers making connecting flights. Joe
was going the farthest.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 23 were segerated.......forever. No monitors,
very little info, wrong airport, lots of frustation. At one point <span style="color: #1f497d;">I </span>texted Joe and asked when his plane for Houston
was leaving<span style="color: #1f497d;">;</span> his reply.....20 minutes ago.
<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>There is one flight a day from Moscow to
Houston on Singapore Air.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div _yuid="yui_3_1_1_3_1334091887968165" class="yiv790379122MsoNormal">
Finally he
flew to the correct airport 100km away and started the process of trying to get
home and hoping there would be a seat on any airline. <span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>There were several scenarios, but the best was
for him to wait and take the same flight Saturday morning. </div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="yiv790379122MsoNormal">
I'm thinking fun, 1 day and night in Moscow. Then
he reminded me, you have to have a visa processed in advance.<br />
<br />
He spent the
next 18 hours in the airport lounge with these two chairs together trying to
sleep. </div>

If you talk real nice to me, tell me I'm pretty and offer to clean our pool....I'll go before the king, on your behalf, and beg to heat the pool for a birthday party...... for someone of no blood relation. In other words, we're the teenagers answer to Chuck E. Cheese and I don't think it's any cheaper.
<br />
<br />
And when the friends decide to come over and make a cake and cake balls, I'll go to the store, buy the ingredients and clean the kitchen no less than 3X in one afternoon, all for the sake of a good time. Oh how I wish I had taken pictures...the mess it took to make this cake...<br />

He's trying out for Drum Major today. He decided before spring break and at the time there was more than a hand full of contenders. At a meeting about the job description and learning how to conduct he found out there would only be 4. The drum major from last year and 3 new recruits. Of the four, two will be chosen. Since there's a good chance last years DM will be one, she is great, he's got a 1 in 3 shot.<br />
<br />
The process is as follows:<br />
<br />Conduct a band with a piece of music they provide in advance.<br />
March and Conduct in a pattern. They've chosen for them to march in the formation of a sword.<br />
Be interviewed by Directors and other outside people they bring in to judge.<br />
Be voted on by peers<br />
Write a paper saying why you're interested.<br />
<br />
This is what Drew wrote: <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For as long as I have been in the
Langham Creek band I have heard about the trombones of old. I want to be a DI
because I want next year to be the year that people look back on as a model for
future trombone sections. I want to be a Drum major because I want the same for
the band as I do for the trombones, to be the model for future bands. I think I
would be perfect for DI or Drum Major because I care about achieving these goals.
For example on the marching field the past two years in the trombone sections
there was a lot of time that was wasted by waiting in between reps therefore
losing valuable practice. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Of my DI’s and Drum Majors the past two years I
can pick out qualities that I like and want to replicate for myself. Anthony
Harris always gave something to work on as well as new ways to look at a
concept. Michael Greenburg would show up to every practice energized and giving
it 110% all the time. Elijah Ramos provided a good model for marching and
behavior. Kevin Land was a great teacher because he was patient and went the
pace needed for whoever he was helping. Edward Alcantara would not only help
those who ask, but he would also seek out the chance to help others out. These are
the qualities that I would try to have as a DI or Drum Major.</span></span><br />
<br />
No matter the out come it's win/win. He loves band and would like to be drum major but would like even more to march and play his instument next year.<br />
<br />

They came in 11th out of 23 other bands. This not being a state year, means that the show is usually more theatrical. Which LCHS band is not! According to Drew and Hunter, they are a marching band with precision. <br />

Sunday, Joe and I headed home to get ready for our church's "trunk or treat". We were supposed to set up a beach theme for Drew to sit and pass out candy. Half way home we found out the band was running behind. Sooooo, I passed out the candy! <br />

Monday night Hunter dressed in his go-<strike></strike>to "Justin Beiber" outfit and went out with a sweet girl in a morf suit. Drew grabbed his banana and hotdog costumes and trick or treated with friends. <br />

Having no kids at home, guess what Joe and I did? Closed every drape, turned off the lights and pretended we weren't home. BEST Halloween ever!<a href="http://"></a>Goldilockshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14194882166559677486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337318780269882411.post-81043124162864783202011-10-25T19:31:00.156-05:002011-11-06T07:48:49.099-06:00Parents WeekendIt's not just for college kids anymore :) Our Mom's blessed us with a visit last week and we did a TON of fun stuff. After picking them up at the airport our first stop was lunch at <a href="http://yiayiamarys.com/home/">Yia Yia Mary's </a>, so good! <br />
<br />
Our football game was Thursday night.<br />

Our Happy Drew, he <i>REALLY</i> didn't want to have his picture taken. He was trying his best to hide it, I think he did well. You can barely tell........<br />
<br />
Friday we headed for a drive in the country to Round Top. We ate lunch <a href="http://www.royersroundtopcafe.com/">here</a>, my Mom and I shared a shrimp BLT and each had a mug of <i>Chicken Corn Chowder</i>. We thought it went better with Joe's Jalapeno cheese soup, so we mixed the two together. We were right!<br />
<br />
Everyones knows when you're out to lunch you have to stop by a cute shop, so we did! The <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Apothecary-At-Round-Top/115249178580293">Apotheacary</a> doesn't disappoint!<br />
<br />
Then if all that wasn't enough, Joe indulged my wander lust and went in search of <a href="http://www.hollymathisinteriors.com/2011/10/rachel-ashwell-part-2/">this</a> and came up with <a href="http://theprairiebyrachelashwell.com/">this</a> too!<br />
<br />
Saturday Drew and Hunter marched in their UIL Region 27 Marching Contest. The band did great getting all ones for the 22nd consecutive year.<br />

My Mom and I have read about and seen <a href="http://www.tastydays.com/videos/flip-happy-crepes">this</a> airstream/foodtruck for years and have wanted to visit! Only problem, there was a 45 minute wait once you placed your order:( <br />

Monday the guys went back to work and school:( My Mom and I headed to <a href="http://www.pappadeaux.com/home/">Pappadeaux's</a> for lunch and of course more <a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/">shopping</a> :)<br />
<br />
For dinner we tried a <a href="http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2011/09/recipe-for-julienned-zucchini-spaghetti.html">new recipe</a>. It was a hit....for those who ate it! <br />
<br />
And finally today was my Mom's last day, we squeezed in one more restaurant. This time we went with an urban theme and headed downtown to <a href="http://www.bombaypizzaco.com/index.php?status=featuredpizza"><i>The Bombay Pizza Company <a href="http://www.bombaypizzaco.com/index.php?status=ideas"></a></i></a> which was AWESOME! And because we have that go-to-a-cute-store-after-you-eat rule. We crossed the street and went to CVS and bought some killer <a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&sugexp=kjrmc&cp=8&gs_id=t&xhr=t&q=dial+lotion&qe=ZGlhbCBsb3Q&qesig=NBB2HJeeUFSsxlMNBVpnqg&pkc=AFgZ2tlH68qSffpxO1lfCxOQFrGifFLqEw3cWFVbs7NmVboV3XtH5VFwB7CJENUQNgrVwqgFYM1UmgcJKNp5p_fVhfSgm3lNoQ&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1322&bih=839&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=17403433692170618337&sa=X&ei=G2WnTvztM8iugQe-kfEp&sqi=2&ved=0CFcQ8wIwBw#ps-sellers">lotion</a> that makes your hands sooooo smooth!<br />
<br />
It was a great visit and we can't wait to do it again!<br />
<br />
PS I think our dogs will miss Grandmas the most!<br />

Once upon a time.....Drew took a chance and shared his green friend with the world by taking him to MYF. <br />
<br />

The trio on the far left of the couch are leading the group in <em>Praise and Worship</em>. It moved Drew's friend so much he sat up. I think the guy on the far end would like to trade places with him. Laying on the floor, that is, covered up in a green morph suit. <br />
<br />

The evening ended with an outside prayer at dusk. And everyone one went home, had quaintly time with their parents, got in bed at a decent time, and lived happily ever after. The End. <br />

Homecoming? <br /><br />Here's the 411. It can be very involved and require several steps. But can be Lot's of fun and stress free if you're a guy and have a Mom who'll take care of everything...... Love ya, Drew and Hunter :) <br /><br />First, if you're a guy, you have to decide if you want to go. I don't know if for girls that's ever a question. Then who to ask, in our case it was easy.<br /><br />Now for the tricky/fun/what is everyone else doing, how to ask her part. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdk07Tu-sCxfVKd30Ra2aEqX8I0sm1QsVSBFg5QdLZ3gh7jRH-_ZgsV7JIBaZMwLWmJNMCf10SxW82gebegrUKMiUEFggiqXPD5lMVcmL1tvzUqAtibuVPEGtoBwMBysPqPR75sdiX8E/s1600/2011-09-10%25252017.49.34%255B1%255D.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdk07Tu-sCxfVKd30Ra2aEqX8I0sm1QsVSBFg5QdLZ3gh7jRH-_ZgsV7JIBaZMwLWmJNMCf10SxW82gebegrUKMiUEFggiqXPD5lMVcmL1tvzUqAtibuVPEGtoBwMBysPqPR75sdiX8E/s400/2011-09-10%25252017.49.34%255B1%255D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662405435826408066" /></a><br />Hunter's girlfriend is in the Lobo drum line and likes penguins. He put yellow sticky notes on his drum set saying Homecoming? and finished with giving her a pillow pet penguin. <br /><br />Drew has a love of road reflectors. He wrote Homecoming? on one and gave it his girlfriend when she was over watching a movie. <br /><br />Other friends we know decorated yards and bedrooms. <br /><br />Next step, the mum! Which I have come to love and really want to make next year. The Thursday before the game/dance guys and girls exchange mums/garters and wear them the next day to school. I'm kicking myself, everyone was here that night and I didn't get ONE picture....I forgot! <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhebiKBp-5YXumYkVstP96IX4QU1xDuCKmlwNAWVwbFviMS9vTZgUHIaiG7YRUxRX458yqyb2SliVhlyPP6IjFk0nSjzDt8C2aLrZUdI3tQ5gUOd-jgv6b9Iqdbs2e5uHaVBqL7N8zm-nw/s1600/homecoming+2011+230.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhebiKBp-5YXumYkVstP96IX4QU1xDuCKmlwNAWVwbFviMS9vTZgUHIaiG7YRUxRX458yqyb2SliVhlyPP6IjFk0nSjzDt8C2aLrZUdI3tQ5gUOd-jgv6b9Iqdbs2e5uHaVBqL7N8zm-nw/s400/homecoming+2011+230.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662344624347669986" /></a><br />But we were ready Saturday night!

Which means Hunter really likes her, because he doesn't like sushi! <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoofX2z17KBc2spcG5LtVG-CkLWIU6ub-pEXehzzqr73C2GqCq37aeuGpHnS4WkKR6rw9SfscrWpjAGe1U0FeWH-zyetPNzj42u_Uo0aTPZ_xr4K77Eqtaf-zkr5SMCeM1JA9F74J0aZk/s1600/HunterandBlaire.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoofX2z17KBc2spcG5LtVG-CkLWIU6ub-pEXehzzqr73C2GqCq37aeuGpHnS4WkKR6rw9SfscrWpjAGe1U0FeWH-zyetPNzj42u_Uo0aTPZ_xr4K77Eqtaf-zkr5SMCeM1JA9F74J0aZk/s400/HunterandBlaire.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662344337598188226" /></a><br />Is was fun seeing them dressed up:) Can you see their "band tans"?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnIaoNhqXpcYg8AL_APXtttbgMpKkq8TludjXVw1KnKeyVYl4m-8yF6H2gAxYcT7ud418HunF4W6h3hw4hPUzPyV4YSX1dgEa14keqj0sJhAkQz-c1vZOclsngULmPTYk2vD01anAYsHU/s1600/DrewandMarisa1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnIaoNhqXpcYg8AL_APXtttbgMpKkq8TludjXVw1KnKeyVYl4m-8yF6H2gAxYcT7ud418HunF4W6h3hw4hPUzPyV4YSX1dgEa14keqj0sJhAkQz-c1vZOclsngULmPTYk2vD01anAYsHU/s400/DrewandMarisa1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662335574397355218" /></a><br />Drew and his girlfriend went with a group and had Italian.

His girlfriend told him she'd bring a tide to-go pin, take him to a bathroom men's or woman's, it didn't matter, and clean him up, funny stuff!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaM0HfHpOtzN-cjH0OMVRdzu_5Dpk8U2qqSQXnyWdY8EUKrADlHKc4fD3GRrruo0BpyprmloQb5Elj8zhkDu6SPytddvrChOW0_zIcuhtSGMTW2mlwn2g3Z-Lw_xuNICl7l55a3qRZMZs/s1600/DrewandMarisa2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaM0HfHpOtzN-cjH0OMVRdzu_5Dpk8U2qqSQXnyWdY8EUKrADlHKc4fD3GRrruo0BpyprmloQb5Elj8zhkDu6SPytddvrChOW0_zIcuhtSGMTW2mlwn2g3Z-Lw_xuNICl7l55a3qRZMZs/s400/DrewandMarisa2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662335422718023346" /></a><br />Me?

It reminded me of one of my favorite <a href="http://youtu.be/XtBcjJL8ra4">Newsboys</a> songs:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Shine <span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />
Dull as dirt<br />
You can't assert the kind of light<br />
That might persuade<br />
A strict dictator to retire<br />
Fire the army<br />
Teach the poor origami<br />
The truth is in<br />
The proof is when<br />
You hear your heart start asking,<br />
"What's my motivation?"<br />
<br />
And try as you may, there isn't a way<br />
To explain the kind of change<br />
That would make an Eskimo renounce fur<br />
That would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster<br />
Unless you can trace this about-face<br />
To a certain sign...<br />
<br />
Shine<br />
Make 'em wonder what you've got<br />
Make 'em wish that they were not<br />
On the outside looking bored<br />
Shine<br />
Let it shine before all men<br />
Let'em see good works, and then<br />
Let 'em glorify the Lord<br />
<br />
Out of the shaker and onto the plate<br />
It isn't Karma<br />
It sure ain't fate<br />
That would make a Deadhead sell his van<br />
That would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons<br />
Oprah freaks<br />
And science seeks a rationale<br />
That shall excuse<br />
This strange behavior<br />
<br />
When you let it shine<br />
You will inspire<br />
The kind of entire turnaround<br />
That would make a bouncer take ballet<br />
(even bouncers who aren't happy)<br />
But out of the glare<br />
With nowhere to turn<br />
You ain't gonna learn it on "What's My Line?"<br />
<br />
Shine<br />
Make 'em wonder what you've got<br />
Make 'em wish that they were not<br />
On the outside looking bored<br />
Shine<br />
Let it shine before all men<br />
Let'em see good works, and then<br />
Let 'em glorify the Lord<br />
<br />

<br />This sweet 3 year old boy got his mom to stop the car, get out , give a dollar, not knowing that it was for a car wash (oh no, you get a car wash with this kind of entertainment!), with 3 other little kids in the car, to watch them play.

<br />
<br /><em><strong>I AM</strong>
<br /><em></em>
<br />I marched in the scorching heat of the day hoisting my sousaphone with pride.
<br />
<br />I belted out the numbers of the counts given.
<br />
<br />I held my sousaphone as if it was mounted upon a statue of gold.
<br />
<br />I raced toward my water bottle in search of hydration and dashed back as soon as I could to perfect my marching style.
<br />
<br />I powered through the torturous pain in order to build up the finest muscle in order to hold my sousaphone up.
<br />
<br />I focused with laser like precision toward the band directors.
<br />
<br />I practiced day in and day out twenty four seven so I would not let my fellow band members down.
<br />
<br />I visualized some of the finest bands in the nation from the Cavaliers to our own Langham Creek Band.
<br />
<br />I persevered through the toughest of practices and remembered the happiest of laughs, <strong>I am a Langham Creek Band member.

<br />
<br /> This years theme was;
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching</span>.
<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2 Timothy 4:2</span>

<br />Nicknamed Breezy, his counselor had this to say about him; one of the activities was to walk across a tightrope, many gave up. Drew didn't. He had;
<br />
<br /><strong><em>Persistence</em></strong>
<br />
<br /><em>Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. </em> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Ephesians 6:14</span>
<br />
<br />He was also;
<br />
<br /><em><strong>Good-natured</strong></em>
<br />
<br /><em>And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.</em>
<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Luke 8:15 </span>

<br />His first year 2006
<br />
<br />His coach had this to say;
<br />
<br />One day on the lake, Hunter was being pulled on an inner tube. He hit a wake and went <span style="font-style:italic;">FLYING<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span> 9feet in the air! The coaches looked at him; he had a huge smile.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">Joyfulness<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! </span>
<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Habakkuk 3:18</span>
<br />
<br />He was also a good;
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;"> Listener<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span></span>
<br />
<br /> <span style="font-style:italic;">My children, listen when your father corrects you. Pay attention and learn good judgment </span>
<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Proverbs 4:1</span>
