Hope Video

So I have told some of you about the video we made to say hello to Hope instead of an in-person "meet and greet". Here is our video in all its glory. I hope you enjoy it as much as Bekkah and I had making the video.



UPDATE: The official date for my ordination/installation is going to be Saturday November 29th. Bekkah and I found out today and are very excited about the news. Also we are happy to announce that we officially have a place to live as well! Will give out address and such as people ask and most likely out to email once all the details are finalized.

Moving the cat

So on Wednesday we made our last move to Columbus which involved moving the cat. Bekkah took the cat in her car and she got a little curious about where she could go. She decided to go to the backseat and then come back because it was crowded and she ended up like this... ╬

Cat Adventures Pt. 2,3, maybe even 4

Bekkah (the wife) and I have been watching our sliding door for the last week to see if the cats have shown up again and they have on a couple of occasions. It took them a while before they came back to visit (probably traumatized) but we have seen the kittens and their mother on a couple of occasions now. It is fun to stand inside or outside and watch them run around and chase leaves and sticks and bugs and each other.

Seeing as how the mother is not a complete goof off we think that we will no longer have to keep one as a pet (both good and bad). We took a long time to decide that night and since we decided yes it is kind of a big let down not to have the kitten. However, it is very fun to watch all of them play with everything.

Bekkah says we have a month to worry about whether or not these kittens are going to be dumped off somewhere or if the mom is actually a good cat. Guess we will wait and see. In the meantime that means packing for the big move back to Columbus.╬

Cat Adventures

Last night Bekkah and I had company over for dinner and at the end of the evening we saw a mother cat and her 4 baby kittens. We all had fun watching them run around and play and watch the mother ignore them the whole time.

Well after a short time our guests left and Bekkah and I continued to watch the kittens. The mother then ran across the street with 3 of her kittens. Bekkah and I saw the fourth one in a drainage pipe and that it had been left behind. We then contemplated getting a new cat or at least rescuing it.

Bekkah and I grabbed some tuna and some milk and tried to coax the cat out of the pipe. Once or twice we got the kitten close but she would move back into the tunnel. We sat out there by the pipe for an hour or so. Toward the end of our time, Bekkah started meowing and suddenly we saw the mother cat back several yards off. Bekkah made a trail from the mother cat to the pipe so that she could find her kitten. We then walked back to our house and Bekkah comforted our cat Charlie and I watched to see if mother found baby. She did and they ran across the street together and all was well.
We were both happy and sad that they were reunited. All is well.╬

All Alone

So my wife left me once again for the west coast, which leaves me all alone in my house. Well, I do have the cat.

So that means more video game time for me. It also means that it seems cool because of the extra game time for the first few days, but then it just gets plain boring because there is no one home to talk to or to hang out with other than the cat.

And I am sorry Charlie (our cat) but you are not as good as the wife. Plus I didn't realize how needy the cat was until I was the only one around. She is constantly hanging out with you and trying to get you to pet her. And she likes to rub against things so when I play video games she likes to rub against the wires of the controller. That is usually about the time I get beat down or shot in the head by a sniper in Halo 2.

Well the wife comes back on Monday and then leaves the next morning I believe for Columbus for a week long class. That basically boils down to three weeks without her.╬
