Well it's been a busy spring and now summer is pretty much here, and it's hot. Starting sometime in February I managed to spend nine weekends in a row out of town for at least part, if not whole, weekends.  Visiting friends. Watching disc golf. Mourning and celebrating a life. It's been a whirlwind. I've taken some pictures along the way that I'd like to share.  Of course I hope to keep up with the blogging throughout the summer. I've got no huge summer plans, but Tia, some friends and I may go to West Yellowstone for Farmageddon Fest - a music festival.  I recently got promoted at my job and I'm settling in.  I've got a busy couple weeks coming up with quarter end!

| Brandon and I traveled up to Holton, KS in early spring to visit friends Joel and Julie.  We took our time traveling and stopping to play a couple of disc golf courses along the way. | 
  | 
| Tia and I went to Lawrence and met up with some Bethel folk.  We saw William Elliot Whitmore at the Granada. | 
  | 
| We also saw Drakkar Sauna at the Granada. | 
  | 
| In March I visited my dear friend Ashley who is now living in DC.  She showed me around town properly with cupcakes from Crumbs. | 
  | 
| Peanut Butter Cup cupcake! | 
  | 
| Oh, and no big deal, but Ashley and I set court side at a Washington Wizards/Portland Trailblazers NBA game. | 
  | 
| Ashley also 
got to come home in May for her family's big auction.  Josh, Ashley and I
 went to see the Avengers in IMAX 3D while she was home.  | 
  | 
| Visiting grandpa.  Such a loving, caring, wonderful man was lost.  He was always proud of the things we had done.  He was willing to help anyone out. | 
  | 
| 
Despite the sadness surrounding us we were able to love, bond, and hold each other close.  I cannot describe how thankful I am for this family. | 
  | 
| And baby Gavin is about the cutest little genius around. | 
  | 
| Tia, some friends and I camped out on a farm east of Newton for String Break, a benefit mini festival for Kirk Rundstrom.  Here's Tia ready to go. | 
  | 
| Camping, Drinking, Music. | 
  | 
| Brandon and I also traveled to several of his tournaments this spring, with more to come. | 
  | 
| Brandon, Nathan, and I went to the Bartlett Arboretum in Belle Plaine, KS to watch Tim O'Brien play a show. | 
  | 
| The weather was great.  We had a slight breeze and some cold beers to keep us cool |  | . | 
  | 
| For $10 you got to see the concert and tour the arboretum.  You could bring in your own cooler with food and drinks, which is what we did.  I did have to splurge on a $5 BBQ plate too though. | 
  | 
| We through a party for our friend Gen's birthday! | 
  | 
| Measuring cups made a substitute for small beverage glasses. |
