The Bachelor... Mormon style?

It's awkward, so very awkward. But I can't stop watching.

PS. It actually has some great ideas for creative dates. And the music choices for the videos are pretty sweet.

So I've started up an additional blog, which is not really a blog, but a list of things in my life I find inspirational. It's clean and simple. If I feel so inspired I'll put up a photo, or a quote, or a song, or...

2011

Twenty-Eleven. It's a new year! I put up a new layout. I hope I can have some fun travel adventures this year...

South Padre Island

Thanksgiving weekend some of us went to South Padre, Texas to watch Noah play two games. Here are a few pictures. Noah hit a game winning shot in 2-OT and was selected as an all-tournament player.

Jake and Jo playing in the Gulf of Mexico. I walked around on the dunes. It was a bit chilly down there for a few days.

Oklahoma!

I really enjoyed living in Norman. Besides coaching volleyball at NHS, I also attended some OU football and volleyball games. College towns are the best, especially as a new school year begins in the fall.

Fall Volleyball

Another fall season of volleyball has come to a close. I enjoyed my time coaching at NHS, working with some wonderful girls, and also appreciated the opportunity to live and work in Norman near the campus of OU. It has also been nice to watch my sister grow up and play at Bartlesville, helping them to a top-4 finish and making the All-State team.

Jo's team (BHS at state)The Bruins played Edmond Memorial (state champs) in the semi-finals. Jo (#5) also made the all-tournament team. I was able to see them play a few times this year, including at Ponca City (where I started coaching volleyball).


Ark City, KSA few of the girls from Arkansas City I helped coach in club a few years back. I came to their senior night, and after the game they wanted to take a picture with me.


Collage of some of the fun times this year... at IHOP, Zio's, Union tourney, Arkansas team camp (and the stairs), Retro night... and Jo & I at Stillwater. Then our end of year banquet (below), I gave out 'awards' to the juniors.

Colorado

Got to visit Boulder, CO again this year. The fall session of my semi-annual trips for work to attend conference meetings. And then I go out and explore the town at night. The weather was gorgeous all week! I wish I had more time during the day to go hiking up in the mountains or take a nice long bike ride along the boulder creek trail. Our hotel is next to the University of Colorado campus.
