Deanna and I just got back from a wonderful weekend in the Hills celebrating 11 years of marriage.  Check out the blog, pics, and some video clips from the weekend on our family site.

I’m so in love.  I’m so blessed.

At Valapalooza, We Like to Dance…

// February 18th, 2008 // No Comments » // Elevate Update

I’m sure a Valapalooza highlights video will follow this post sometime soon, but here’s some quick clips from the opening moments of this year’s big event. The first one is a hilarious, elaborate set-up for a dance that Jim Waldrop did for his wife, Dyani, at last year’s event. Dyani was so disappointed when she found out that it wasn’t filmed the first time, so we wanted to give Jim a chance to do it again and get it on film. My idea was to spoof Jim’s dance, with Deanna taking the chair this time and myself coming up with some crazy-cheesy choreography. It was easy with such a beautiful wife, companion, and best friend as my inspiration. [I love you, Deanna.]

Here’s what it looked like… (brace yourself)

And here’s Jim’s dance for Dyani — what a guy!

Feeling Faint

I gave blood today.  It was the first time in years; the last two times I almost passed out and I’ve been a little nervous since.  Deanna has always been a faithful to donate on a pretty regular basis and she encouraged me to give it another try today.  Well, I made it through and felt fine all the way through… then, I got up to go and sit-out the suggested 15-minute waiting period.  I picked up a newspaper and started to read.  It wasn’t very long before I could barely sit up, let alone read the newspaper.  Deanna noticed that I looked pale (and troubled) and got the nurses to put me back in one of the chairs where they could put my legs up.   I ended up feeling faint-headed and nauseaus for the next four or five hours.  I’m finally starting to feel like myself again.  Whew!

I don’t know what my body doesn’t like about donating blood, but I’m not giving up.  I’m going to give it another try in a couple of months to see if I can get any better at this!
