Our Midwest Christmas tour is over, we’re back to the mountain in Georgia, and except for the occasional outbursts and singing of an almost-three-year-old, the college is quiet. Students don’t return until the 4th and classes resume on the 8th.
Except for the Packers losing to the Bears (and indirectly causing me to lose my Fantasy Football Championship to Renee’s brother, Jon), we had quite the enjoyable visit home. It was the first time we had been home over the holidays since we have been married and it was refreshing to be with family and friends, and, yes, even enjoy the cold and snow. Continue Reading »

Almost a year and a half ago, Renee and I were completely blindsided while anticipating the birth of our next child-at a routine doctor appointment, we were told the baby did not have a heartbeat. After Renee went through two D&C’s to remove Brit, we both wrestled with how to grieve after such an unexpected and heartbreaking loss. In many ways, we’re still figuring that out…it’s been quite a journey for us and has been the most difficult year of our marriage. Even more difficult than the first year, and that included Renee locking me out on our 3rd floor apartment balcony! Continue Reading »

Greetings, dear reader. Just a quick update here. I promised pictures from our trip to the Smokies and have finally delivered. A few weeks back, our great friends from Denver, Lief and Emily, came out for a long weekend and we drove up to Gatlinburg and rented a cabin for a few nights. It was great to spend some time with them and we had a fantastic time up in the Smokies.
Also, as you may or may not have been aware, Halloween has come and gone. While Jonathan didn’t go trick or treating, he did get all dressed up in his costume with his pal Katelyn and made every girl on campus go, “Awwww!” He loved having his costume on even though he was dripping with sweat.
Finally, we made a trip to the ER on Saturday after Renee spilled hot queso from Qdoba on her wrist. She only heated it up in the microwave for a minute. Fun times. For the record, she said it was more painful than childbirth. Either she’s not remembering things correctly or I had WAY too much sympathy for her after Jonathan was born. Anyway, here are the pictures (not of the nasty burn, but of other Fall activities). As always, you can check out the pictures we have up here by clicking on “Photos” on the top of the page.

Well, again it has been much too long since our last update, and there has been much going on. At the beginning of August, the whole Residence Life staff here at the college was back to start training and preparing for the arrival of students. After a week of getting to know each other, planning RA training and learning more about the job, the RA’s showed up and we were off to Alabama for a weekend retreat. We were able to meet and get to know the 35 student leaders over the weekend and Jonathan was not wanting for people to play with him…he slept well every night. After the retreat it was time for a week-long intense training with the RA’s and preparing for the arrival of new students on August 17th.

Hello friends,
I just wanted to say that I have every intention of sitting down and writing an update as to how our time down in TN/GA is going…however, we do not have internet access down at the place we are staying on campus until our apartment is finished. So, this will have to suffice for the next few weeks I’m afraid.
Upcoming news:
- Adjusting to life in the south
- Living with side-by-side toilets
- Ken’s new guitar
- Updates about Jonathan
- The new job!
- Ken’s Official Endorsements

I really stink at keeping this thing updated. So here’s a big pile of what we’ve been doing the past several weeks.
May 12 - Ken graduates from Denver Seminary. It only took a half-decade.

Hello friends and family,
With an update long overdue, we finally have some news to share. First, let’s talk about Fat Club. It’s unfortunate that the backup I had to restore was missing that fantastic picture of me prior to the weight-loss race. I’ll find it somewhere and do a comparison picture, but after 3 months the results are in…I went from 227 lbs to 184 lbs, a 43 pound loss that gained me first place out of 8 (well, 7 really. That slacker Keith didn’t even try…and still owes money too!). I barely eked out my buddy Lief in a come-from-behind win, but everybody else in the competition did great as well…the results are here. What to do with my winnings? Buy new clothes… Continue Reading »
