Viva Las Vegas!!!
Hello, I just thought I would blog since I have been back from camp for like 4 days. So, I have a lot of good news to report so I better get started. I finally got to go at Final Cut Pro, LiveType, and DVD Studio Pro on my new G5. I took my G5 down to camp and made a video each night for the kids and they loved. It was cool to have a video every night for the kids in a couple of ways. First, the kids have something to look forward to each night, it gave me a chance to get to know Final Cut Pro better, and I finished over half of the DVD by having 4 out of the 6 done. Anyways, I finally finished it after finally figuring out DVD Studio Pro. I have to say it is pretty awesome. I can't wait to do more.
Well, I also received a call from another branch asking me if was still interested in going full time. A lady just put in her two weeks notice today, so hopefully I will be able to be full time at the bank with benefits.
And my final piece of good news is that when I got back from camp, I checked my email at the bank and my boss said that I got my days that I asked off to go to Vegas. So I am heading to Vegas July 7-11. I can't wait. It's going to be a blast. Josh is heading up the next day and we are going to rock the party, before 9:00 of course. Josie has to go to bed sometime.
Anyways, there has been a lot that has happened and am thankful for. Not much else happening now. Since the DVD is finished, I am going to relax and kick it for a while and save up for Vegas. Well, I'm out for now.

Late again, forgive me friends for I am late again!
Well, hello everyone. It's me again. Finally, I have come back to blog. Yeah, yeah, I know it's been a while, but I'm here now, so know your role. Well, it has been a crazy week preparing for camp. I'm not in charge and don't even have that much responsibility, but I am the only who has leadership experience at camp. Our youth minister is new and he is learning all of this stuff. Our pastor is not even going. So, I am helping him out with whatever he needs. Also, I am, at 24 years of age, the oldest male sponsor going. So there is going to be a lot of different factors play in, but I think it is going to be a great year. I am going to enjoy this year, because I am technically the "Video Guy". I just finished my first video on my G5. It is a 10 minute rules video. (Note: Thanks to Ben for the help getting kinks worked out) I also plan to take my G5 down there and have videos done each night for the kids. This year is going to be a total different, but awesome experience. We are in a new cabin, in a new week, with a new youth minister, and a lot of new people going.
[Edit] Just thought I would say Congratulations to some people. Congrats to Dustin and Becky on their new baby girl, Chloe. Congrats to Becca and Charles on the pregnancy. Congrats to Ben and Christina on being married for 3 years. I realize I am late on saying this, but as my headline reads. "Late again, forgive me friends for I am late again." Enojoy. [End Edit]
Onto other business, I have purchased a couple of CD's in the past few weeks. One is the majorly Josh-hyped album "Make Believe" by Weezer. It is a good CD. It didn't let me down. They continue with their unique type of music that is so catchy. The other album I purchased is "Panic" by MxPx. It is definitely a different type of music from them. The punk beat is still there, but rock took precedent over the CD. I'm not saying that's bad, because I love the CD. I still have yet to compare it to their other CD's. I think Ben jumped the gun when he compared it to "Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo". I'm not ready to put it up there yet. My favorite songs are Late Again, Kicking and Screaming, The Weekend, Call in Sick.
Well, hopefully I will be able to go full time at work in a couple of weeks. I can't wait, because I really need the money and the insurance will help. Speaking of work. It is still up in the air whether they are going to let me off July 7 - July 11 to go see Ben in Vegas. I know Josh is going up for a week. I can't do that, but 4 days is sufficient for me. So, hopefully I will get an answer soon.
Well, I better go. I need to finish some things before our service starts. Please keep us in prayer as we head to camp tomorrow. It is going to be a totally new experience because of the previous thoughts mentioned earlier in the blog. I just ask that you keep us in your prayers this week. Thanks. See ya in a week.

Well, this is my first post in a while. A lot has happened in the past few weeks. My youth minister and 4 of the kids are at Super Summer this week. And then on Monday, we leave for Falls Creek. It should be another exciting year. I have continued and hopefully started a tradition by having a "Rules Video" for camp. This year's theme is the "UnIncredibles" I have finished a majority of the video, but I still lack the editing of the audio files and adding music. I am learning more and more and I'm really pumped about it.
Well, this is a twice edited blog and I can't finish it right now, because I am in a Team Leader meeting for Falls Creek. So more to come. At least before I leave for camp.
Peace Out
