mr. airport baggage handler guy

now when you are traveling this holiday season, think about the little guy. the guy that nobody sees. the guy that nobody notices... until they cant find their bag! ha! now you know what really goes on after your bag disappears off that conveyor belt at the check in counter... :) joke. i take my job very seriously, sort of.

back and forth

megan and i will be traveling back and forth between seattle and spokane during the next few weeks, while megan wraps up her last semester--working at evergreen hospital for her nursing practicum (from what i have gathered, what that means is she basically works without getting paid as a part of a requirement for graduation... sorry babe, i probably spelled that wrong huh?).  

i recently got the opportunity to obtain the video entertainment game halo 3, and in attempts to move our marriage along to the next phase (im not exactly sure what that might be), and to get in tune with our inner most feelings for one another, megan inquired that she might give it a shot as well. so to dan, and ryan, megan is the "friend" that joined us on that lusterous afternoon... here are some images of her in action-

it took megan a little while to get use to the controls... for a while when ever she went to shoot someone, she would wind up just spinning around in circles with her gun pointed at the ground. (for a while i thought that she was trying to see what her shoes looked like)



one she got the hang of it things started to get intense...



this is megan after she finally realized that she could go in to appearance settings and change the color of the generals "outfit" (actually i think this is when she discovered the jump button...)

life doesnt get much better than that. coming home after a fine day of work to find a clean house, dinner on the table, and my wife calling some 12 year old boy names because he keeps on moving when she tries beating him down with the spiker! shes actually not that bad. she does her best when it is spiker only rounds... uncle jerry you gota get in on this!

a year older...

for my birthday (which was last friday, the 26th) aaron and i went back to seattle for the weekend. it was so nice to see our families and some friends. aaron then surprised me with my birthday present...a trip to victoria for a couple days :)

since aaron has benefits through his work, we took the short plane ride (only 20 minutes) over to victoria. our hotel, miraloma on the cove, was in a small town called sydney, about 10 miles out of victoria. the hotel was amazing! we highly recommend it. it was basically a mansion with 22 rooms right on the cove. they had to bump us up to a suite, which was pretty much bigger than our apartment here in spokane :)
we ventured into victoria for the afternoon checking out the sights...the famous empress hotel, the legislative building, and all around town. it was such a relaxing weekend...we look forward to many more adventures taking advantage of aaron's flying benefits :)
