New Orleans

A couple weeks ago, I had the oppurtunity to go on a mission trip to New Orleans with some other leaders in Fuel, we did SO MANY different things. It was a very impactful trip, and I learned a lot. We did so much, that at times I was frustrated that we didn't have more time to practice, or do the things we were doing. But I learned that I don't have to be in New Orleans or on a mission trip to practice some of those things, and I could continue to do them in my everyday life. In addition, I also learned a few things about empathy. Thank you to all who supported me in prayer and financially on this trip.

Here are some pics I took, mostly of us having fun, as I wasn't too focused on picture taking while we were working.



For more detail on the things we did, you can check out our FUEL Blog.

Mammoth Mountain

Fuel went up to Mammoth Mountain last weekend for a long weekend in the snow. Here's what it looked like:

Better late then never right?

Here are some pics from the past month:

My roomate is a huge Patriots fan, so this is what I found on our door when I came home from the Super Bowl. My neighboor made us a shrine to Eli.

My office got resituated and everyone was moved around. I lucked out, here is my new view from my desk.

I went over to Catalina Island for a half marathon with some friends.

Rocky, Micheal, and Michel were all stoked about running, but unfortunately an injury kept me sidelined.
It looks like I'm a drunk bum sneakin in the picture.

So, while they raced, I babysat all the stuff and saw all the great sites.

The view of Avalon from a top a mountain.

My sister, Ashley came to town to surprise my cousin Jill, and for my birthday, an amazing party that my family threw for me.

Dani and I got to kayaking with Ashley and Jill on Monday before Ashley left.

This about sums up the day, Ashley and Dani are stoked and rearin' to go, and Jill going the wrong way and wondering how we talked her into this.

Food Diary - Saturday & Sunday

I went to the Fuel Leadership Retreat this weekend. We stayed at the Double Tree at the Spectrum. Here's what I ate:

Saturday

Breakfast - A jalepeno bagel, an everything bagel, and hotel coffee.
Lunch - Wahoo's Carne Asada Nachos (my usual there) with Dr Pepper.
Dinner - All you can eat fajita bar at Dave & Busters. I ate 4 big ones, and some chips and queso. Iced Tea to drink.
Late Night Snack - I got hungry around 2:00 am, and there was no food or snack machines in the hotel. So we got a group and went to Denny's. I had an omelete with sausage, bacon, mushrooms, and extra cheese. Coffee to drink.


Sunday
Breakfast - Fruit spread (watermelon, strawberries, banana); Sausage, Bacon, Potatoes, eggs, and french toast. With coffee to drink....lots of coffee.
