I was introduced to a new food this weekend that I refer to as ‘Cake Balls’. Courtney had a baby shower, and one of the girls made a cake for it. The cake was cut in a shape, and she took the scraps of the cake that were left after cutting the shape, and made them into cake balls. She crumbled up the cake pieces, mixed them with frosting, formed them into a little ball, then dipped them in white chocolate. She then put the cake balls all around the cake as a decorative border.

YUMMY!!!

When I went and saw Angels and Demons a few weeks ago, I noticed some hidded dots and symbols throughout the movie. Most of them showed up towards the climax of the movie and they would appear in a flash of light, or a quick camera pan. After the movie was over I asked my friends if any of them had seen it, and they thought I was crazy.

I searched around on the internet, and about all I could find was a question on Yahoo answers that was talking about the same thing. There were about 20 other people that had noticed the same thing, but we couldn’t make heads or tales out of it.

I forgot about it for a couple of weeks, and tried looking into it yesterday to see if there was any new information about it. I was alarmed to see that the question in Yahoo answers had been deleted, and I couldn’t find anywhere on the internet where it was being talked about.

If anyone has any info about this, can you enlighten me?

Courtney has now become infatuated with her belly button. It’s really odd… she will sit there in front of the mirror and just poke at it, then she will turn to me and say “It’s almost ready to invert!” It’s like some kind of strange milestone for her.

I was woken up in the middle of the night to Courtney yelling “bloody h**l” and limping around the room trying to massage out her leg cramp. She’s moved into the cramping stages of pregnancy and we can feel the baby moving now. I hold my hand on her stomach as we pray before going to bed each night. The baby has already stolen my heart <3

Yesterday I put together the baby’s crib. It’s true… it’s happening to me. I’m turning into a dad. I only used the wrong bolts twice, so I give myself an A! Renick was a nice help too and Courtney went and got me Dairy Queen for desert.

Woohoo!!! The baseball bat inside the crib is NOT for beating the baby.

The DNC went really well. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. It was really neat because the same group of officers hung out at our location for several hours every night which allowed me to form some (all too brief) friendships with them. Really all I did was sit and hang out with them… joke with them, watch TV, listen to their stories, and just get to know them on a personal level. I have never really had a chance to do that with cops before, so that was one of the biggest blessings for me.

They told us that the last things cops want is to be preached to, so the way I approached them usually was just to tell them a little bit of my testimony and left it at that. Most of them didn’t inquire any further, but all of them were very touched that we volunteered so many hours just to serve and support them. It was a little sad when we said our final goodbyes this morning.

So, I went out and bought an XBox 360 over the weekend. Yay!
