1 hour 47 mins

as you can read above that is how long I have until I won't be working two jobs this summer, what a glorious relief from everything this will be, I'm so excited I can't even tell you!

have a great summer

Bike ready kit, minus chain, lines, and pedals

So after a few minutes (3 weeks) of work we've went from here

and here

to here

ending with the glorious work that is now kits new road bike that hopefully we'll get here to ride to house church once in a while soon!, missing it is really a big bummer on the summer, working two jobs and trying to cook with everything seems like i'm just being slack, I promise were going to start as soon as school starts!

weddings, vt, and chinese internet

So this past weekend was the first wedding of 2008, or maybe the 2nd we'll just call it the 1st of the summer, which is odd for me at least I would have thought that there would have been at least a couple more guess not right. So this was Tripp and alli's wedding Tripp is kits cousin how many ever away, and what surprises some people is that almost 2 years of dating and I still haven't been introduced to every one. The wedding was in Blackburg VA, so just a little bit of a drive. Yet it was interesting to see the memorial prepared for the students of VT that died. You could tell that the students needed something or some way to express them selves and that was how it was done, right in viewing distance of the engineering building where it happened. At Tripp's wedding one of his friends from china came to help him celebrate. I can't or don't even want to know how to start to spell his name and I know if I start that i'll just butcher it and make it sound basically what you want his name to sound like. But he was telling us about the restrictions that china puts on us and basically how he didn't know how or why in some cases that the same kind of restriction weren't put on every one. It was an interesting conversation because i've heard little snid bits of how the whole system works over there, and basically how horrible it is and how the human rights need to do something but still it's kinda interesting to hear from some one's own voice who lives there.


also does any one remember the continent of floating trash somewhere in the pacific ocean, I figured we'd still be hearing about it, I guess it was a good media now kinda thing.

the itsy bitsy spider

So for all of you who don't know oconee, ok the upstate is in a drought. Yesterday Clemson was put on a severe drought warning, I was like really Clemson I figured we'd be the last because of the campus but then again here we are in a severe drought. Yet tonight it's raining ohh what God given blessing rain it is. First I was like I'm going to dread this walk coming from my car to the building I'm staying in. Yet no how can I miss this. It's pretty amazing, I felt cool rain on my shoulders, it's been so long since I nice night rain has came, and it was so refreshing, I want music to be playing, I want to see an old silver airplane come up and me in my rain trench coat say something memerable, yet for tonight I'll settle for nothing more than, the itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout, down came the rain and washed that dang ole spider out.
