*cough* showoff *cough*

I'm going to narrow this thing down to 5

  • Winning a stand-down staring contest with a bear
  • Louisiana - midnight swimming at the lake with a girl out to the tower. Climbing up into the warm humid air to the top and laying there watching the stars fall.
  • Planning events for the church College Group
  • Time with my sister
  • Moab (or Colorado)

Funny, I don't see those taken :p

I also enjoy it when there is someone every where I go that knows me and that time a moth got stuck on my bung hole while I was pooping on my epiphany toilet with the door open.

These are in no particular order of importance due to the fact that they are equal to me.

1. Earning my Eagle Scout award
2. Birth of my daughter 20 yrs ago on Feb 6th
3. Graduation from college.
4. Graduation from another college.
5. Birth of my son 4 years ago.
6. Meeting and marrying my wife, Linda.
7. Learning that two of my friends have become Christians.
8. Watching my step-daughters mature into beautiful, smart young women.
9. Owning a Jeep. Yes, it is important to me.
10. Moving to Phoenix. God has opened a lot of doors for me. Trusting in Him is great.
