Summer!Part 2
Man this summer is great so far! I know I just wrote about how good summer was... but yesterday I did my favorite summer activity, I washed the GXE! Got her all cleaned up, after all the driving she has done for me she deserves it. Then I noticed the other day that my rose bush by my house, that I spent time this spring pruning and helping it stick to the trellis, now has roses on it! I felt so proud to have had enough of a Green Thumb to bring it back from the dead. The landscaping, as well as the gardening and everything else at this house was all poorly done. I can only fix so much... but I was glad to save the little rose bush.

My roses! I am so proud of them!

Nothing relaxes me more then a bucket of water and my car scrubbie.

Then tonight I am heading out to play soccer with some faculty and staff here in Albion. That will be great. I heard about that last night while the Pistons were beating the Spurs. Go Pistons! So all in all, it is a good time right now. I have not played soccer in maybe 4 years... so we will see how that goes.

Tomorrow night there is a small get together in Kalamazoo to watch the last basketball game for the year (good luck Pistons!). Then Friday morning I head to Chicago to see Novalí and hangout and then Sunday do my hazing lecture. So on Monday watch for pictures from a fun weekend...

Summer!
Man this summer is going well. Work is very good, it is busier then I thought it would be for the summer, which is good cause it makes the time fly. We are wrapping up our fiscal year and I have some money leftover I am figuring out how to spend, nice to have extra money somewhere in my life...

This weekend was a ton of fun. Friday Heather and I just had a Blockbuster night and watched movies and did laundry. I think Harold and Kumar go to WhiteCastle is a must see... and Garden State was very good as well. Saturday morning I went Golfing with Ramon, Ruben, and Franky Martinez in Holland. I did alright, I still really want to try golfing left handed cause I think I would do better. Afterwards we got some Greek food in Holland. That night it was another get together at the old Rich street house, saw some old faces and met some new. It was great and Gary came out so we got to chill a little which was nice. Sunday was laid back, got up late... lounged around and headed home to watch the Pistons in their overtime defeat! The good part was that I took all my files and organized stuff during the game, so at least I was productive during the Pistons loss.

I finished my plans for having Novali in Michigan. I will have her for nearly two weeks at the end of July. I am very excited about that. One week with me in Albion, and one week in Saginaw. To top it off Andres will even be coming to Michigan that time as well. So everyone will be around while she is visiting. Very cool!

More good news... despite early predictions in the year... Team PLP will be making a showing this year! On Sunday July 3rd at GVSU there will be a race and I entered the Sentra. So we will see what the little GXE can do. I wish the NX was fixed, but she still needs repairs before she can hit the course again. This worked out perfectly cause on the 2nd I have a wedding in Grand Rapids, what perfect timing. I am also seeing if I can fit one or two more races in this season. So if you are free that weekend come and cheer on Team PLP.

Finally, thank you to everyone who called, text messaged, or emailed me a Happy Fathers Day. That was great, Thank you!
