Baptized in the River

Today is a special day for me. 5 years ago, on March 26th, 2005 at 10:00 AM I was baptized in the American River by Mr. Clyde Kilough. I had just graduated high school a short while before that and I was planning on moving out (for the first time) so that I could help expand the company I was working for in Tennessee. I faced a lot of hard challenges and decisions that year after my baptism but I got through them mostly unscathed. I look back on that time in my life with joy and a little longing, wishing I could start over back then but I will continue to look forward not back.

*Funny note about that day I was baptized. Right after Mr. Kilough laid hands on me he let me know that it was Easter that day. My friend Dave says that getting baptized on Easter is like mooning Satan, lol.

Down With the Sickness

Ughhh... I ate at a chinese buffet Sunday, then my roommate, Chris made some boxed chicken alfredo bake thing, which was basically like a heated jar of Ragu alfredo sauce, with canned chicken.  It was gross.  Anyway, between those two things or possibly a flu bug I picked up on Sabbath, I got sick.  Real sick.  I'm so tired and worn out and sore.  I'm finally feeling better and don't have the wicked stomach ache that I had the last two days.  I can't wait to get back to school...
