A New Week A New Day

Today just flew by super fast. It was a super busy day that started early and ended late, but it flew by really fast. It was a good day, I got a lot done, still have tons to do.

Tiffany and I started our first fire in our fire place tonight which is totally cool. It puts out pretty good warmth in about a 5-6 ft area. Tiffany and the cats right now are actually sleeping in front of the fire place...it's sweet.

I set up a small sound system for a guy singing for the Gideon's dinner tonight. He was very nice, had a great voice and was very appreciative. You got to always love when people are extra appreciative.

One of our Big lights exploded during service friday so...we are going to have to replace that which is not easy or cheap...but we will make do. The Lord will provide.

A Great day today and I went 5-2 in today's chunk in my fantasy league improving to 45-22 so that is great as well. I finally will have an entire healthy team at the start of Wednesday's chunk...yay for no more injuries.

Quotage!

Nancy Pelosi: "But I do tell you that if the Democrats win and have substantial majorities, Congress of the United States will be more bipartisan," .....What?

Nicole: "Something is vibrating....Greg...what'd you bring to church?"

Justin: "Greg, do you see that light flickering...."
*BOOM*
Greg: "That light?"

Tiffany: "Tom Brady, He plays for the Cubs right?"

Ryan: "Wow that fire is hot"

Kevin: "Ready Camera 4 (We only have 3 cameras)"


Below is what I want for Christmas! For all of you who are looking.

Ahh...to be an Alumni

Well today I got to go back to the University of the Ozarks for a Board of Directors meeting, it was good. Got to debate and vote and some other cool stuff. I really enjoy being on the board. Ozarks is one awesome university and that is all there is to it.

I am tired tired tired but that is ok. I am about to get online and kill some terrorists with Greg so that should be fun.

I am starting to get excited about the election and gas prices, other than that it has pretty much been a normal Saturday.

Tomorrow is a big day at church so let's pray that God's will be done.

Have a good tomorrow!

Reba: "Ryan, here are the keys, take the Go-Kart!"

Tiffany: "Squash Fritters!"

Joe Biden: "Our economic policy is based on one three letter word...J-O-B-S...Jobs"

IT IS THE WEEKEND!!!

SWHOOOO....

That was a long week. Banquette was good last night, but I didn't get done putting the sound stuff up till late which delayed me getting the Mission Trip video done...I stayed until the weeeeeee hours of the morning working on it...I am less than satisfied...but Tiffany says it is good...we shall see.

It is good to have Lilly back, she is sleeping right next to me on our couch. In about an hour Greg and I are going to battle the forces of evil and destroy some terrorists...can't complain too much there.

Tiffany made a great dinner tonigt, Pork Chops, Aug Rautin(SP*) Potatoes, veggies, garlic bread...and of course Apple Sauce to dip my chops in...yumm yumm! So I am once again pleasently plump...*sigh*

Tomorrow I head to the University of the Ozarks, my Alma Mater. I am on the Alumni Board of Directors, and we have a meeting tomorrow. My committee has some very important business to discuss so it should be an eventful day. It is always great to go back and see the school and some of the friends we have that are still there. Ozarks will always have a special place in my heart.

Well I need to get geared up to go blow away some terrorists...ooh we also have a sim in my basketball league tonight, wish me luck, I am #4 in the East right now, let's hope I move to #3 and no more injuries, my stud Zachary Reyes has been down for about 40 days he has 15 or so left...Once we get him back things will be in full swing!

Here are your daily Quotes!

Tiffany: "AHHH"
Colleen: "Tara, Wingo just stuck his toungue down Tiffany's shirt"
Tara: "That's a new one...put him outside"

Steve: "Yay, I get to go watch High School Musical 3"

Greg: "Uh, where am I?"

All I can say on this 1st video is, "Man that would suck to start the thing early.

A lost loved one recovered

GREAT NEWS, LILLY is home!!!!

She got stuck in the next door neighbor's garage, I went in and rescued her this morning, she was so happy to see me...or maybe it was simply the prospect of our warm bed and some food and water...I don't know...but we can pretend it was the site of me...at the crack of dawn...eek what a site!

So anyways that was great we were losing sleep over it...literally.

Today I finished moving my office to our upgrade, that was a fun process....moving stinks, and rehooking up and editing suite stinks even more...I doubt rehooking is really a word.

Long story short I got the editing computer up and running, still have some things to take care of before it is finalized...but we are pretty much "IN" our new office now...pictures to come sometime soon. WOOT!!

We have a banquette tonight at the church for Teen Challenge so that should be an awesome event, I am dressed up which is always fun as well.

Well today was a long day, but good as Lilly was recovered.

Here are some random quotes to feed your hunger, and a video of cats in honor of Lilly's return.

Bridgette: "Did you say you barely had your pants on."

Jason: "I am not even going to tell you what I almost said."

Tiffany: "I want a bread stick"

Ryan: "Ok, I got a deal of the life time for you, I will trade you my bookshelf and sofa for your couch...deal?
Michael: "No, way. I like to sit their in the morning and read my Bible."
Ryan: "What do you do...lay back and kick your feet up on some rope lights?"
Bridgette: "Ha ha...rope lights."

Hump Day as they call it...

Well Wednesday which is our longest day of the week started off very badly...

Tiffany and I realized this morning that our sweetest cat, Lilly, is missing!

The best we can figure is that she slipped out of the garage when we were leaving for work yesterday. We didn't get home last night until after dark and Tiff worked on her computer and I played some video games and went straight to bed, didn't think to look for Lilly, as we didn't let her out of the house.

Well Tiff is home today searching and making fliers and posters, I went by the humane society, but no luck yet.

I kind of feel sick, and that rain I was so looking forward to I wish would hold off while our baby is lost outside.

Our cats are indoor/outdoor, but we only let them out when Tiffany is home. This is easily the longest period of time she has been gone from us.

If you think of it pray a little prayer that she comes home to us.

Well until next time...have a good week.

Another Day in Paradise

Well in my fantasy basketball league the trade deadline passed yesterday.... *sigh* that is my favorite thing to do in that league...trade, trade, trade, and more trade...everyone in there knows it too...but I am good at it as well.

Well we had a Staff meeting today, and all went well, just making plans for our community wide Thanksgiving service. I had one good idea in there so that was good. We had staff lunch afterward as well...which is always awesome. Our church cook, Sally, is AMAZING!!!! We had Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, Carrots, and Salad...oh yes and Country Gravy....bad to the bone...I am plump now. I washed it all down with a couple of cups of Sweet Tea too...that hit the spot.

This has been a good week for our website as we already have 500 visits, not hits, but visits. Last week we have over 2100 visits which is GREAT! Work is good.

My friend Evan from college stayed with us this past weekend which was awesome since we had not seen each other in 6 months, sad. Sad to see him go back to Little Rock, but it was still good to have him stay for a while.

Sadly enough he found out on his way home that one of the anchors for the show he produces at KATV Channel 7 in Little Rock was beaten nearly to death in her home in an apparent burglary. She is in critical but stable condition now, keep her in your prayers. Here is the story about it.
News Story Here

On a more positive note the weather is getting cooler and it looks like we will have some good rain tomorrow. Yay! Tiffany and I both love cooler weather and rain, so what is usually a dreary day for others is great for us.

Two weeks ago I spent about a week away from Tiffany on a Mission trip which was the longest time we had been apart since getting engaged, sicne we have been married neither of us could remember being apart for more than 2 nights...if even that. It was nice to come home to a nice home, beatufiul wife, and three lovely kids...I mean cats...sorry. Anyways being away from something you love for a period of time often will remind you how much you love it, or how great it is. I am not encouraging anyone to go a week without their spouse or food or anything like that, but just think about how hard it would be and then realize, "Ahhh, I am a lucky and blessed DUCK!"

Well I think that is about all I get in me, so without further adieu (...?SP) I leave you with some random quotes, and maybe a video if you behave.

Tiffany: "Flop Lilly, Flop, Flop, Flop" (In highest possible pitched voice)
Lilly: "Meow" *Purrrrrr* *Flop and Roll*
Tiffany: "YAY!!!!"

Donna: "This world is nuts" (In reference to Obama/Mother Teresa candle Votive)

Ryan: "Cover me, I am going crazy chicken on these guys!"
Greg: "Your covered"
Butters: "oooooh"
*BANG BANG TAT TAT TAT*
Ryan: "Ok, I found them, but I am pinned down here by the uh...um...this Alamo like thing, Cover Me!!!"
Greg: "Ok, you are covered" *Pop Pop*
Ryan "Ok, here I...." *BOOM, POW POW TATATATATATAT*
Greg: "Are you dead?"
Ryan: "Very"
Butters: "Oh man"

Kristi: "Do you have enoug CDs to make copies for tomorrow"
Ryan: "Probably, how many"
Kristi: "A few...'
Ryan: "...."
Krisit: "200 or so?"
Ryan: "We might need some more CDs"

Ahhh....Mondays!

Let's start off with the basics, my name is...Ryan....my wife's name is Tiffany. I work for a church. I am the media guy! I love basketball and the Houston Rockets are the bomb, I am also a member of a fantasy basketball league that is completley made up...very awesome hobby, but complex to those on the outside, you will hear about it from time to time.

Most people generally don't like Mondays, I guess you could call me indifferent, but Mondays don't bother me one bit. This is my first post on here, I decided I wanted a creative avenue to talk about my life. For friends, family, and anyone else who cares.

Most Mondays for me consist of catching up on e-mails, phone calls, and my long list of things to do...like getting my new office set-up...pretty much the bane of my existence right now. I am having to re-set-up my Editing bay, that equates about 25 cables and another dozen plus components ranging from Mini DV deck to speakers to dual monitors etc. Great when it is up and running...a big pain to move!

Tiffany and I have almost completed our move to our New, Improved, Bigger Office. We didn't even ask for it, the church just wanted to be an extra big blessing! They figure with all the Media junk we have, and as loud as I get sometimes with my video editing, it might be better for us to move down the hall to the bigger and better office! No complaints here, except computers stink to move.

Well it is time for me to call it a day. I will be writing again soon, and I promise not to leave you all hanging on waiting for the next post for too long.

In honor of my best bud Evan Hoffmeyer's Xanga, I leave you with some utterly random quotes!

Evan: "I need Barbecue Sauce with that"
Ryan: "Suace" (In a high pitched 'Shaft' theme song kind of way)
Evan: *excited laugh*

Tiffany: "If I go to my parents tonight, and don't cook dinner, how will you guys survive tonight?"
Evan: *bang bang* "I shot that guy in the foot" (Killing terrorists on Xbox Live)
Ryan: *big smile "We'll survive"

Evan: "Sauce"

CR: "WOOOO!"

Evan: "Schlumberger?"
Ryan: "Do you think they come with cheese?"

Greg: "She gave me the look, got to go, be back aprox 2 hours"

Evan: "Sauce"

Clint: "I'm Old"
Ryan: "No you're not"
Clint: "Fine, I feel old, give me that!"
Ryan:"You win."

Evan: "Sauce"
Ryan: "That will last"
