Salaam Malekum!
How we doin? Thursday..... Wellllll, Started early. Went to work at seven, due to the fact that I know I need to leave early today. I was shooting a wedding rehearsal out in Choctaw. My friend Ashley Bell, is getting married Saturday. I'll get to that in a minute! I ran downtown OKC at 11:30 and picked up some pints I had done on canvas! I must say, I was blown away! They are great! I left there and went to talk to Joel at Epperson video. I needed a second body, for shooting weddings and things. When you have two bodies, you don't have to switch lenses. You have one with a telephoto, and the other with a wide angle. (Make sense?) I got down to the camera store and Joel talked me into a factory demo from last year. It's a D200, and I freakin love it! Soooo, Joel talked me into a D200, and I talked him into giving me a discount (Cost) for the Quest! I used the 200 tonight at the rehearsal. It is so crisp! Anyway, Took a couple hundred pictures at the rehearsal, then home to edit and crop! I have 73 left! Pretty good ratio for me! I need to get in bed! I want to be in the office by 7:00 in the morning. Tomorrow is Sherrie's birthday! We are going to Louie's for lunch if'n you want to go! Love you all!

Namaste,
I'll get right to the point! Ricardo, Ben and I, met a very nice young lady from the PGA at lunch today. She has a ton of marketing tools to maximize the income potential of golf tournaments. They have mulligan games, and hole-in-one prizes.... Anyway, if we had met her several weeks ago, we would jump all over it! She is going to donate a couple of PGA Passports for prizes. Former OU basketball player, and coach Terry Evans, was in Louie's having lunch. He was there Monday too, but I chickened out! I had a basketball in my car, and I had him autograph it for the auction! After work I went straight to the gym. Had a great three mile run, then a great class. Home for a shower, dinner, and finely some rest! Tonight I have Ashley's, wedding rehearsal! I hope the weather stays nice!
Love you!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
We had a death in the family today! Tic was floating in his fish bowl this morning! Trey scooped him out of his tank and said a few words before sending him out to sea. We will get Tac a new friend this weekend... I'm sure his name will be toe! Pretty crappy day..... Don't really want to get into it but, went to the gym and got some really good work. Did a bunch of ground and pound. Really tired.... Going to bed!
Love you all!

Good Morn!
Very short and sweet! Picked up Premier Martial Arts as a hole sponsor yesterday. Trey went to PMA for several years, and the owner Jason Epps is a great guy. They have an outstanding martial arts program. Check them out at www.edmondkarate.com. Received a call from Jessica Clayton director of sales and marketing from the PGA passport. Ricardo, Ben, and I, are meeting her tomorrow for lunch. Jessica knows how we can maximize the tournament for our benefit. Went to the gym straight from work... Got an awesome two mile run in, then set up an obstacles course for the class. Class went very well! Promised Sherrie I would be home at 8:00, jumped into lawn mode, and even though we have had rain for the past nine days, I had to mow the jungle. Did the whole lawn in 40 minutes! Not bad for mowing in the rain, and dark! Meeting with WorldVentures today at noon. Still trying to get the hook-up for my travel! God Bless!

Namaste,
Sunday, was a pretty busy day. Got up early and headed to church, to serve in the parking lot! I help direct traffic from 8:15 to 9:15. We were having the first service in our new building, and there was a lot of confusion, due to the fact that the new entrance is on the opposite side of the building. I left there and headed down to Norman to see Clark preach. In between services, we went into his office for a little counseling..... I saw a couple who I have known for 27 years.... Walt & Cherri Strong. I visited them for a while, then headed back to Edmond... Picked up Sherrie, and Trey and went to the Edmond Art's festival to meet Chad Lovett and his family. Mike Giroux called and we met Ben Crocker up at the gym, we needed to do a few things and make a plan for the week. Ricardo & Jenni came over for dinner. They have been so instrumental in getting the golf tournament going. We are coming down the home stretch on this thing, and it will be a blessing, when it's over. Not that we are ready, but the stress is overwhelming right now! We still need golfers! Time to get ready for work! Love you all!
God Bless

Saturday, May 2nd!
Namaste,
Wow.... Saturday was amazing! As I mentioned yesterday, Sherrie and I went to Applebee's to serve breakfast for the Epilepsy foundation. We walked in the door and they were not expecting us. They gave us a tour of the kitchen, and told us just to hang out and wait for people to show up. The Oklahoma City Yard Dogs sent three players out to serve the breakfast, so Sherrie and I ended up seating people, taking their drink orders, and busing tables. We met a bunch of great people. Beverly Young from the Foundation was instrumental in helping me network with some very influential people. Applebee's does one of these pancake breakfast every month, and we will be doing one very soon. We supply the pancake eaters, and volunteers to clean, and seat people, they supply the food, and cooks for a very reasonable price. We left Applebee's at 10:00, Sherrie, and Jordan had a mother, daughter brunch at Heritage Baptist Church. Trey and I ran out to El Reno to Burger Day. We were suppose to meet a friend of mine at the Edmond arts festival but it was raining cats and dogs. Trey and I hung out at the Crimson Creek booth for a while. He won a Gold Fish in the putting contest. Trey named him Tic. After Burger day, Trey and I headed home for a bite to eat, and to get prepared for the Limb's for Life 5k. My goal was to run the 5k in 29:59 or less. I have to tell you, and Sherrie can attest to this.... I started way, way to fast. I started up with the elite runners, and tried to keep up with them for the first kilometer. Bad idea. The first two kilometers were straight uphill, which meant finishing would be nice. I struggled through the first two kilometers, then hit my stride. Everyone that had passed me.... I started passing! I had some great music cranked on the old Ipod, and making the turn at the 2.5k, felt great. I smoked the last 1/2 and finished at 30:01! TWO seconds slower than my goal. If I could do it over, I think I would not have screwed around singing, and acting goofy for the course photographers. We got home I took a quick shower, and had dinner. Then to Wal-Mart to pick-up a few items. Trey needed a fish bowl for his new friend. We ended up getting Tic, a brother his name is Tac... Get it Tic, and Tac. We got home around nine. Sherrie decided we needed to get some house work done so we cleaned house for an hour, then crashed out! Today, we move into our new building at church. I have to be in the parking lot at 8:15, then I am going to jet down to Journey Church for their service. I need to see Clark. I will be home around 1:00, then Jenni and Ricardo, are coming over to discuss the golf tournament. Yesterday, Ricardo signed Oklahoma Therapy Institute, and Serta Mattresses. I think I signed Professional Recyclers.... Time to get started! God Bless! Have a great Sunday!
Love you all!

Wednesday,Thursday, Friday April 29th, 30th, May 1st!
What an amazing week! Staying really busy..... This golf tournament is soooo much more work than I ever imagined! Very rewarding! I have been signing teams, and sponsors and even receiving money. What a blessing! We have signed, Journey Church, MWC Specialty Hospital, Edmond Specialty Hospital, Kindred Specialty Hospital, Red Rock Landscape, 805 Fight Club, and yesterday.... I met with the management of Applebee's... They are interested in doing something LARGE! God Bless! I am meeting with them in an hour! Yes! It is only 6:00am on Saturday morning, but as I have stated... I'll do whatever it takes! Applebee's is hosting a fund raiser for the Epilepsy foundation and Sherrie and I are going to cook pancakes. Tonight at 5:30 there is a 5K in Bricktown. It is for "Limbs for Life!" I am running the 5k and Sherrie and the kids are doing the one mile fun run! It finishes on home plate of the Bricktown Ball Park. After the race you get to stay for the Redhawks game. That will be a blast.... We are getting hammered by thunderstorms right now, so I don't know how much I will like running in the rain! The Spandex will be out again! I had a photo shoot scheduled for this morning, but that got cancelled due to weather. Curtis is working a booth for Burger Day in El Reno... I need to get out there, and Edmond is having their Downtown Art;s Festival.... I went yesterday afternoon for a while, but it was very cold and rainy. I am suppose to meet Chad Lovett and his family at noon, to walk around if the rain let's up! Got to get in the shower, get ready for Pancakes! Love you all!
