The absolute best thing about it is it's ability to create subgroups. So now I can follow that random business mogul or celebrity but they don't clog up my stream of people that I actually care about. 
</div><div>My biggest negative so far is that it is quite a bit slower than Twitterfon, but we'll see. I've got $4.99 invested in it now!</div></div>

<p>The Rabbi implores, "don't you understand that discipleship is not about being right or being perfect or being efficient? It's all about the way you live with one another." the success or failure of a given day is measures by the quality of our interest and compassion toward those around us. We define ourselves by our response to human need. The question is not how we feel about our neighbor but what we have done for him or her. We reveal out heart in the way we listen to a child, speak to the person who delivers mail, bear an injury, and share our resources with the indigent. </p></div>

Talk about some milestones! <br />
So proud of them and can't wait to see what life will look like for them now. <br />
At the graduations, which everyone knows are super boring, my brother and I started joking around and posing in the background of other people's photos. <br />
I got caught in the background of this one that my mom was taking of my bro and sis-in-law's family.

Life has been so busy lately that I don't even crack open the computer when I get home. Life with a 50 hour work week, 3 little kids and a wife is a busy thing. We're having fun in there too, so don't think I'm hating life. Just busy. </p><br /><div>I love blogging. I love meeting new people through it and even more, meeting them in real life. But lately, I've been having those dark thoughts of saying goodbye. Who am I trying to impress? Is this a creative outlet for me? not really. Am i more stressed because I haven't posted in a couple days? As my 30th birthday is quickly approaching, I feel like I'm having this shift in a lot of my thinking. Plus, all of my lists and links are so out to date, it's gonna take me a day to update them all! So, I'm dropping a bunch of them right now. If you read my blog and you don't see your name/blog link under one of the headings, then leave me a comment and I'll get it back up there. </div><br /><div>I don't think I'll stop, but it's hard for me to do something halfway. I either want to do it, or not. </div></div>

Her love of life and her pursuit to always be the best are inspiring. Her beauty was what first attracted me, but her self-confidence and drive won me over. </p><br /><div>She is a talented singer and even though she never got her chance on "Star Search" she still uses what God breathed into her to praise Him and lead others. She is an intense gym rat, and unless she comes home completely drenched, she didn't work out hard enough. She loves people and can talk to almost anyone in any situation. Oh, and she is one of the most creative people I've ever met. </div><br /><div>Family Night is a huge deal in our house. If you know my wife at all, you would know about family nights. Under the Sea, Caveman (i got to wear a loin-cloth), Princess, Take me out to the Ballgame, Movie Theater, Circus, or Olympic night, it's always been fun. She could seriously be the marketing executive of some company, because she spends like $4 and makes these amazing nights that I'm our whole family will remember for years to come. </div><br /><div>Jacinda is an amazing mommy to our three girls. They love her intensely, don't like letting her go, get upset when she's not there, and squeeze her hard when she returns. Life has definitely thrown us a couple curve-balls, but I bet you our kids wouldn't be able to tell you that. They've been moved from their home, yet Jacinda makes them feel at home everyday. Again, her creativity allows her to keep them happy in every circumstance of life. The picture below is a perfect example of Jacinda. Laying on the operating table, belly wide open for the C-section and look at that smile!</div><br /><div>I love her with everything I have and she is my standard for what a woman should be. I was thinking of words to write for her and I think love makes you cheesy. It's like you don't have the words to say, so you resort back to some 80's romance movie or something. But, I heard this song awhile back and the lyrics seemed perfect:</div><br /><div>She's got whatever it is, I don't know what to do</div><div>Because every time I try and tell her how I feel, it comes out</div><div>"I love you"</div><div>You got whatever it is</div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial; line-height: 16px;">When she loves me, girl that's how I feel</span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial; line-height: 16px;">When she loves me, I'm on top of the world</span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial; line-height: 16px;">Because when she loves me I can live forever</span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial; line-height: 16px;">When she loves me I am untouchable</span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial; line-height: 16px;">Jacinda, you are amazing and I'm very aware that I got the better end of the deal here. You were an "out of my league" Clovis West girl, who somehow fell in love with a Clovis High guy with pointy sideburns, chain wallet and skate shoes and I can't thank the Lord enough for introducing us.
