A little crazy fun for the weekend!

Sorry for the week and a half posting break. I'll try to do better! Last Saturday I woke up expecting a boring day of mismatched college football games and high calorie intake. At about 11 AM though, my roommate told me about a fun filled trip of cliff jumping in KY. Without much thought I counted myself in on the trip and we set off with four other guys to a spot where a train tressel crosses over an Ohio River tributary. The water was about 12 to 15 feet deep all around. The concrete that had been put in for the train tressel had ledges at 15 and 45 feet that dropped straight into the water. And then the five that were really brave (and where shoes not flip-flops) dared to walk out onto the train tressel and jump off from 65 feet. I was the whimp, but I'm going to make the jump next time in shoes. I did however do the 45 footer several times and it was a blast. The tressel also had a rope hanging off that was a lot of fun. For those of you who are very worried about my well being, I know it's a little dangerous, but we swam around the pool of water in order to make sure it was all deep enough (even though one guy in the group had jumped there before), and we only found a few spots with tall pointy rocks that could have divided us in half at impact. Just kidding! It was safe and a whole lot of fun! (The pics above are taken from 45 feet. You can watch a short video if you check out my facebook page.)

Semester, college football, fantasy football begin!

It has been a busy last couple of days here at the Lord's Army Basic Training Camp at CCU. I started classes off yesterday with Adolescent and Child Psychology from 8-8:50. I immediately made my presence known by shouting the word puberty during class discussion. (It came out with a bit of a squeek.) I moved on to Geology at 9. Well actually I moved on to some Old Testament class only to realize that I had confused my days and classes. So once I found the proper class I was hit with the devestating news that a mandatory field trip to the wilderness of Mamouth Cave had been scheduled for the weekend of the LSU vs. Auburn game. I mentioned the conflict, but was not even given the satisfaction of a verbal response. That was the end of yesterday's classes and today's classes were OT Prophecy with my favorite, Dan Dyke, and Basic Bible Doctrine with Snyder. Snyder is an interested character who will probably be given his own profile post on here.

Other happenings this week included the beginning of the NCAA football season which started with two SEC football teams winning. And opening day also included a superstar like broadcasting of the Ball State game by Cameron (pictured above) and his new and improved color guy. I didn't catch his name. To listen to future games go to WCRD.net.

Finally, I must mention that we had our live draft for the family fantasy football league. We didn't get quite the attendance that I had hoped for, but that's okay. It's going to be a fun season and I can't wait to kick Mom's butt. lol.

My bald head

Sho' nuff I traded in my fro for some shine. Yesterday, for reasons undisclosed on this website, I decided to shave my head. Maybe I was subconsciously sucking up to my future father-in-law. I now stand firm in my spot with the rest of the men in the Smith family. (Devin is just a boy, and he will become a man when he goes bald right before Basic.)

And yes, I know there is a bit of a tan-line.

Like long lost bothers!

Moving day

Last Saturday was a special day for Lindsay and I as we made the pilgrimage from southern Indiana to Cincinnati where we will make home for probably at least the next three years. While I drove my car packed with my stuff, both sets of parents drove a truck full of HER belongings and Larry's pulled a Uhaul with more of the same. The day moved along smoothly with minimum tears (which was probably due to the fact that Lindsay and I both returned with our parents for one last night at home.) Problems were at a minimum up until 12:30 that night when my phone rang with a text message that quickly turned my nights sleep into a nights amount of worry. In the message Lindsay informed me that she could not find the only set of keys to her recently purchased Cavalier which was suppose to be our ride back to Cincinnati on Sunday. I was later informed that the keys were most likely in Cincy. So thanks to Eva's generosity we made it back to Cincinnati in her Toyota Yaris. After looking almost everywhere for the keys Lindsay discovered them in her shoe which she had left in Cincinnati. THANK GOD FOR UNDERSTANDING PARENTS!!!

Don't let the pictures deceive you of the size of the apartment. They were all taken from the same general spot!
