The Prayer at Valley Forge

Well we had a great Christmas...I always hate to come to the end of the holidays. They really are my favorite time of year. For some time I've wanted the painting of George Washington kneeling in prayer. It brings together two things that I'm extremely passionate about in God and country. So this year I received a fine print of it in a nice frame...I love it! It looks really nice hanging up on the wall.

Among other things, I received a sweet longhorn deal formed out of metal, it's awesome. I've dubbed him "Stubbz". I really enjoyed hanging out with family, eating good food, and just enjoying the holidays. Only 357 more days until Christmas 2011!!!

Nine Sierra

On Friday I took the oath of enlistment into the United States Army. I enlisted in the Army and will go to basic combat training this summer-upon finishing that I will then move on to the Officer Candidate School at Ft. Benning, GA. I'm honored at the thought of being an officer in the U.S. Army, and am very excited about the adventures that lie ahead. It really is a dream come true. Since childhood, I've been very passionate about the military. I've always looked up to my Dad so much...and I've always been so proud to have a father in the Army...I watched him diligently put on his soldier's uniform for my entire life. I was thrilled to raise my arm to the square, look my Dad in the eyes, and promise to defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies. Army strong.

This house is protected by the good Lord and a gun...

...you might meet em both, if you show up here not welcome son.




This is my Sig Sauer 9mm...purchased in the name of home defense.



This is my Bushmaster M4A3 carbine...after the parents house was broken into, I decided to up the ante a bit.



On the left you will see some Remington .223, and on the right some 9mm 115 grain metal.




We don't call 911.

Lackland Air Fest

angie and i checked out the air show at lackland afb...saw the usaf thunderbirds again...they were pretty sweet...highlight of the show was seeing the new f-22 raptor in flight...it was awesome. unfortunately, i lacked a chrissy and her photo skills/equipment...so the only pics i got were weak...but it was fun.

few and far between...

despite lofty expectations...my niners have been dreadful this year...so once in a while when we get a win, i have to savor it while it lasts...thought this was a cool picture of crabtree doin the air jordan, while rockin his j's.
