Injuried

6-1-11
Yes, I was knocked on the head... and No! that is not why I act like I do :)
I wish I could tell you some great story where I rescued a poor puppy or I was sticking up for my girlfriend, but it really is a simple story.
For part time, I have been helping build a house. My brother Josh and I were handing up ply wood to a guy on the roof trusses. (I will add that we were warned to be careful) So as we handed one up, I saw it reached and rest on a 2x4 and Josh and I both figured that the guy had a grip on it so we let go. The problem is that it slipped from the guys hands. I looked away and a second later the ply board hit my face! I knelt down a second to catch myself and started wiping blood away from my face. I tried to stop the bleeding on the top of my nose with my shirt, got a couple band-aids and finished the days work :)

I didn't hear any wedding bells!

So I have been... reprimanded that I need to update my blog more. Well the word update sounds to casual... I need to post on my blog more. lol.
I guess the biggest and bestest thing that has happened in a while is the event of my brother Sam's wedding to Melissa Phelps(McConkey). Another great part of this event is that Ashlee got to come down and spend time with me during the festive activities.
On Thursday(June 9th), Josh, Mom and I loaded up and hit the road. We meet up with Ashlee's family in Findlay a couple hours later and headed to Cincinnati. We spent the night at my sister's.
On Friday(June 10), we got up and headed to Kentucky. We checked into the hotel, picks up our suits, and helped a little at the church. We then got ready and came back to the church for the dress rehearsal. After the rehearsal, we all went out to eat at Ryan's buffet. Yum! For the guy's night before the wedding we went to the junk yard and played air soft. Needless to say that I got a nice mark on my forehead which I applied ice to so that it wouldn't look too bad for the wedding. Of course, I will say that I was up till 3 oclock playing video games.
Saturday June 11, I should of slept in more, but I was ready to start the occasion. I woke up slowly with a cup of coffee in hand. The next couple hours were spent getting ready for the wedding. We had to be at the church early for pictures. I am glad to say that most of the picture taking wasn't that dreadful... until after the wedding. lol.
The wedding was wonderful and the reception was really splendid as well!
After the church was cleaned up we all piled in and headed back to Cinci.
Sunday June 12, we went to church at ICON(Immanuel Church of the Nazarene) in the morning and evening with a relaxing, sleeping afternoon. The GBS quartet was singing for the evening service and it was nice to the some buds.
Monday June 13, I got up and Ashlee and I went out to IHOP. We then hung around till Bri took her nap and hit the road again, this time to home. After we were unpacked and settled in, Ashlee and I went and saw Rio( an animiated movie about this bird that is almost extinct) and ate more popcorn than I bargained for.
Tues June 14, I showed Ashlee Heini's Cheese and the Wilderness Center. The fam picked up Chinese and then we had to go meet Ashlee's fam for her to go back home :(
The 14th is the anniversary that Ashlee and I made it official
It has been a great last several days. Spending time with friends and family, seeing a cute couple get married, gaining another sister, spending time with my beautiful girlfriend, spending time with my niece, etc
