not real fun. thursday night Staci and I we're starving for some home fried french fries as well as hamburgers, started up cuttin up the potatoes and SLICE! - almost took part'o'my right handed ring finger off. not much more to the story really; it bled quite a bit, we taped it up and figured it be fine till the bandage replacement 3 hours later left it still splattering blood. time to rush down to the shady (and only) Urgent Care still open @ 9:55pm.
basic paperwork, vitals, and pedigree chart filled out, then it's up on the table to wait for my doctor to shuffle in (with a walker mind you). 3 stiches later I was er... um .... good as new?
honestly, my life is like a sitcom. pictures to follow if you'd like.

When did Hell freeze over?!
Seriously. the Cardinals are going to the superbowl? we have an African American president? I got a RAISE at work??? (50 cents /hr, but I'm happy :)
yeah alot can traspire when I don't blog for days and weeks at a time. alot has happened. seriously. alot.
in the meantime Staci and I are *Officially* Addicted to "The Office". not the new stuff mind you, we're still on season 3, but we're quickly catching up!
School started over again. I began the semester with 4 classes, but slimmed it down to 3 after the first Day(Dropped my Spanish 101 class -Long story. ask me about it if you REALLY want to know.)
other than that life is peachy. I'm a HT'r now, with the ward mission leader as a companion and all less active families. Hopefully I'll be able to do something about that.
what's new with you?

church: A new time, a new calling...
Our ward FINALLY transitioned to a more functional time for us. I dunno bout you but 8:30 AM is WAY too early to be in sacrament meeting. through a marvelous change the Harris ward now meets at 10:30. ahhh, much better. we may have only had to suffer a short 2 months but hey, it feels ALOT longer when you're severely sleep deprived.
must've done something (right? or wrong?) in the new ward though; they've already got a calling in mind for me. "sunday school teacher" for the teens, ages 16 & 17. oh. my. gosh. Not knowing what to think I accepted and will start sometime in the next two sundays. hope the kids aren't too ... Teen-age-ery for me. yikes. I'm surprizingly excited though, it'll be interesting that's for sure.
Staci had somewhat mixed feelings as well. of course she's happy for me to have a calling so soon but obviously wouldn't want to be in sunday school alone. she was invited by the bishopric to attend my classes but doesn't feel it'd be appropriate. I still don't know why - I need the help!
(personally I thought they could have called us together yet for who-knows-what-reason they didn't.) - any thoughts?

Christmas '08 / Fry Daddy
Well Christmas time has come and gone. Staci and I very much enjoyed our first Christmas together and look forward to future. this past Christmas we were able to think deeply about the past year with gratitude for the many wonderful blessings the Lord has given us, especially each other. ("awww..." - I know, shameless plug. it's true though...)
As for Christmas morning however, it was all about the presents! - I received the über Cool Olympus Camera that took the following shots, as well as many other much appreciated accessories, movies, clothes, etc :). Staci received her lot of presents as well and so far as I know loves them :) however knowing of Staci's food allergy to Wheat / Gluten I decided a few gift cards for food may prove helpful as well. (y'know, In-N-Out burger, Chipotlé) mmMMMMmmmmm.
The big hit this year seemed to be a special gift known as a "Fry Daddy" (a big shout out 'Thank You!' to her parents Cindy and Faren btw)~ we haven't been able to eat french fries from most places and as a result make regular stops to In-N-Out. the following pictures show us serving up our very own fried foods! take a look
Attempt #1 - Fries (hey, don't knock the Mario pants! they're comfy)
Attempt # 2 Gluten Free Mozzarella sticks! (- Look how happy she is!)

Hope you all have a happy new year! Check back later for WEDDING PHOTOS!

NEW POST!
okay okay okay i'm a horrible person. I don't update this blog daily, weekly or even bi-monthly. 'Quarterly' sounds somewhat accurate but hey, I just got married so give me a break. :)
but speaking of, I LOVE my wife! she's my best friend and I enjoy living with her very much. I'm also quite excited because last saturday our wedding photos came! over 500 of 'em too. it'll take some time to pick out favorites, post on facebook, and the like but until then y'all will have to be patient. like you always are.
other than that school's out and I couldn't be happier. Staci's excited as well yet she at least has a light at the end of the tunnel. she's graduating spring of '09 and someday I'll get past freshman year... sigh.
all that's left is a fairly desperate job hunt from both of us. I do enjoy my job occasionally (especially when i catch counterfeiters!) but most times I'm running ragged from branch to branch and I'm tired of it. WaMu and it's transition to Chase has put more stress on me than I can deal with, and I need something new. Staples has left Staci worn out and frustrated. all will work out of course but for now we're looking.
our new ward, the Harris Ward, is great. several newlyweds move in each month apparently as we have had 2 new couples already! they're very proactive in getting to know us though, which I can appreciate. I just hope we don't get stuck in primary!
