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!
