Greetings friends from my period of absence. I had surgery on my wrist 2 days ago. I had a ganglion cyst which was causing me pain, so I had it removed. It marks the first surgery I've ever had. First time I've ever been on Vicodin as well. All in all, it was a good first experience. But this splint on my left wrist is really getting to me....
I actually had some interesting surgeries of my own this week. A cystotomy, toe amputation, umblicial hernia repair and a cryptorchid castration. I think I made my technician a little wigged out when I was pulling out the surgery book to read over the procedure as the patient was on the table. In any case, all the surgeries went well. They were just stressful.
Well, this is about all my wrist can handle for now. I will keep you all posted. Pictures will be updated soon!

Last Thursday my hard drive crashed. After multiple blue screens, error checks, and pointless diagnostics it became unusable. I have had my laptop for 4 years and this was the first major problem that occured. Naturally, I contacted Justin for further advice. By Sunday, I had a new hard drive and all the data off my old hard drive. Thanks Justin!
Well, that's it.

Julius, a good friend of mine, asked me a question the other day. What makes you confident?
The question caught me off guard. I didn't have a good answer, in fact I didn't have an answer. Instead, I tried thinking about it while running along the trails. The first few miles are always the most difficult for me while running. I struggle with my breathing, my muscles, and my mental motivation. But, then I reach this point where all my pain and suffering goes away...
My senses open to the world around me as the worries of daily life dissipate. The smell of Fall floats through paper leaves, which sparkle ruby gold in the soft spoken sunlight. Everything is silent as the trees speak to each other, I can hear their whisper. I feel perfect, admist all this other beauty and perfection. And then I realize, the answer is God.
God keeps me going when the world tells me to stop. He tells me I'm right when everything feels so wrong. And He gives me the drive to live this life to its fullest everyday; For my family, for Kellie, and for my job. I feel blessed to be a part of His glorious creation.
