Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Insight Bowl
Most people know how much I love Iowa Hawkeye football. Growing up in Iowa, Hawkeye football was a religion. I’ve been to several bowl games in the past, but last year I missed the Insight Bowl in Phoenix. Well, I wasn’t going to miss it this year. Especially, since it was the same bowl in Phoenix against an Oklahoma Sooner team I’ve seen a lot of living in Big 12 country. I went with my good friend Aaron and we stayed at his good friend Jarod’s house in Phoenix. It was a real quick out and back, one day trip. Jarod set everything up for us and it was awesome. I’m not sure we could thank him enough.
Ice, Rink & Skates – Look Out!
Ever since we started attending Allen American Hockey games, Blake has wanted to ice skate.
Happy New Year
Good Riddance 2011. I for one am glad to put 2011 in the rear view mirror. Therefore, I’m not looking back.Â
Yes he truly does. He did a good job in checking things off our kids respective lists. For Blake a drum set and microphone. For Brayden a dump truck and a fire truck.
Lots of people say a marathon is a 20-mile warm-up followed by a 10K race. A friend of mine said a marathon is a 20-mile warm-up followed by a 10K race followed by the hardest 5K race you will ever run — much better!
