Sometimes you have to just take a break.....

Today after Shantay's Doctor visit (got some good ole shots in her neck...) we decided to get a bite to eat. So it was to The "New" Hilltop Sub Shop. Not sure what the "New" stands for.... but who cares. All I know is that their home-made chips are GREAT to say the least.

Looking for good food... call 322-4222 and place your order.

We took a trip to Martinsville, IN to see the Ables.... and the price of gas was crazy(a good crazy!) Yep $1.53 gallon. Filled up the Pilot for a little over $20 bucks.... what a pleasant surprise. And to think I just noted in my blog a few months ago, about how high the prices were. Who'da thunk?

On the "BIG SCREEN"....

2008-08-02T14:49:00.000-05:00

Here is a email from last weekends wedding/reception.... (Reception was at Eagles Rock) with the help of Adam from Skuba Entertainment, we projected most of the reception onto the big screen... Everybody was loving it.... From the introductions, to special dances, garter & bouquet toss, cake cutting, it was all projected onto the "Big Screen" for everyone to see. Here are a couple of my shots "behind the scene" as John Gardner from Lewisburg Studios captures some fun memories.

Mike-

THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU!!!!

This was a fairytale, dream come true wedding. I walked into the reception hall, and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was everything I dreamed it would be, and more. It was perfect. YOU did an outstanding job, and have such amazing talent. I can't even begin to tell you how many people came up to me during the course of the night to tell me how awesome it was to see everything on screen! So many people want copies of the wedding video when it comes in! I was giving Rodo Video some serious shout outs. :)

I have nine weddings to attend so far this coming year, and I will be sure to let it be known that if they want to do their wedding justice and to capture all the moments they should give you a call. I really appreciate you taking the rings/pillow over to the groomsmen place and my little(big) brother! You are so kind, and it was a pleasure meeting you!

Thanks again Mike...you're the best! Stay in touch!

Here is a beautiful poem to remind you of winter during these hot days of summer... and it will warm your heart. Thanks Bill Dann (the writer) and Lew Peters (the voice of SSN)

This second version has a little modifications to the vocal track

Also notice the length of the video..... 3:16. Take the time and go through your bible and lookup all of the 3:16's... you'll be amazed.

Do you remember when....

I was going through some old emails and came across this image...

If we could just live in the past.... with knowledge of the future...,then we could appreciate the present.

FATHER OF 9/11 HERO TO SPEAK @ Blanchard Church of Christ. April 6, 2008

2008-03-13T13:23:00.006-05:00

The events of September 11, 2001 will forever be engraved in the history books of the United States as a day that changed the nation and altered American’s personal sense of security in a fearful world. One of the heroes of 9/11 was Todd Beamer, a passenger on United Flight 93. Todd and the other passengers on that flight realized the terrorists who had commandeered their plane were heading the craft toward a strategic target to do greater damage than simply to harm the passengers on board. After conferring with the other passengers, it was Todd’s rallying words, “Are you ready? Let’s roll!” that set in motion a counterattack from the passengers and crew. This successful counterattack ended when Flight 93 crashed in a quiet field in Pennsylvania, far short of its suspected target in Washington D.C. Many believe the terrorists had plotted to crash the plane into the White House or even into the United States capitol building. All of the passengers and crew died in the battle, including Todd Beamer.

Beamer was a devoted Christian. His faith in God influenced not only his value of human life, but also his hope for eternal life. Todd’s father David Beamer, will be in the area speaking at Blanchard Church of Christ. Mr. Beamer is coming to the area in cooperation with Emmanuel School of Religion in Johnson City, Tennessee. Emmanuel is a graduate seminary dedicated to preparing leaders for the church around the world. In the Emmanuel Village, The Todd Beamer Cottage stands as a tribute to this American hero. Outside the Beamer Cottage is a plaque that reads: “Awoke a free man – Became a soldier. Died a hero – Died a Christian”

You are invited to be present and meet David Beamer and to hear his story of hope and peace in the midst of terror and fear. While the events of 9/11 are in the past, the world continues to struggle with wars and terrorist activity. Apart from national strife, individuals have their own personal struggles with every day life. Those struggles can result in paralyzing fear. Mr. Beamer is coming to share his real life story. He will be speaking at Blanchard Church of Christ on Sunday April 6, 2008 at 8:30 & 11:55 services. The public is invited to hear this father of a great American hero.

Christmas 07 Newsletter

2007-12-13T14:29:00.001-05:00

Merry Christmas from snowy central PA! I just can't believe another year has passed, and I'm sitting in the glow of the Christmas tree lights writing another newsletter. This past year has been another one of simple pleasures and incredible blessings. This year we decided to let each member of our family write their own "article" for our "newsy" letter.

We'll start with Michaela.

I like playing with my dog, Buster, most of all. I train him to do tricks and to sit and stay. He works for peanut butter bones! The most exciting part of my last year was being in a play! I got a part in "The Little Mermaid" at our local theatre, The Millbrook Playhouse. I had to audition. That was so fun! I had to say my name and age different ways and I had to sing! After I got the part, I had to practice every night for 5 nights then we did the play twice on Saturday. I was tired, but it was great! I can't wait to try out, again, next year! I also liked our family trip out west. We went to see a meteor crater in Arizona. It was so BIG! I loved the museum there. I got to use a computer game to pretend to send an asteroid into the earth and destroy it!! We did a lot of hiking out there, but I didn't like that part very much. The very best part of my year was my Mother/Daughter Weekend with my Mom. We stayed at a hotel in State College and did all kinds of girl stuff. It was great to be with just my Mom. (We just got back from our weekend this year….We got to go sledding this time! We went to a special sledding park in State College and we were the only ones there!) We also get to do Bible study every week...just the two of us!!!

The Year in Review, by Phil:

My favorite part of the last year was winning first place, at swim championships, in the 50 Backstroke! ( I got 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd in my other events!) I also liked spending time with my Texas cousins this summer. Aunt Heidi, Courtney and Christi came here and stayed with us! We went to Hershey Park with my other cousins, the Robbins Family and my Aunt Abby. It was soooo fun! I liked going to Arizona with my family. My favorite part was going to Slide Rock State Park. It is a natural water park. It was so much fun, but the water was SO COLD…My Dad only went down the rock slide once! I also ate rattlesnake while I was out west! It was good! I also got a real hiking pole at the Grand Canyon and I used it hiking down into the canyon with my Mom. It was really hot that day! I went to my first concert in November. My Mom and I went to Penn State to see Reliant K and Switchfoot. We had a spot on the floor right in front of the stage. There was no one in front of us…just the stage! It was great! (My ears didn't stop buzzing for 2 days!!!) This is my first year riding the bus to the middle school and I hate it. The only thing good is the cool bus stop my Grampy built for Michaela and me to wait in. It's pretty sweet! I hope you all have a great year and a Merry Christmas!

Shantay Remembers 2007:

The most amazing part of 2007, for me, was not our trip to the Grand Canyon, (although that was a dream come true!), or hiking in Zion National Park, (I love to hike!), or even taking the Pink Jeep tour in Sedona, AZ (I highly recommend that!),…No, the most amazing part was celebrating 20 years of marriage to Mike! We spent the evening at home. We grilled steaks and then enjoyed the most beautiful summer evening on our deck, remembering the past 20 years!!! Mike took my wedding rings to Addie's Jewelers in Lock Haven and had a matching anniversary band made for me! It is so lovely! I will surely be enjoying that for the next 20 years. God has blessed us with a wonderful marriage and great kids…we are blessed, indeed! The most incredible part of this year, for my Mom & Dad is that I turned 40 in September! (They only feel old on MY birthday!) Mike & I spent the day on our local Rails to Trails. We biked 12 miles then ate lunch at a log cabin restaurant along Pine Creek! We are enjoying every moment in these gorgeous PA mountains! I am so glad God has allowed us to be home to enjoy His creation and my Mom and Dad!

Mike's turn……

Let me start by saying that reading over everyone elses stuff…. I'm gonna be the first one to write next time… they took all of my ideas. All I can add it that "I'm getting older…" Time is going by faster then it used to… my kids are getting bigger… I don't have the same spunk that I used to have… the dog is getting whiter/greyer (and so am I) and my wife is 40. Yes, I am going through my right of passage as a middle-aged husband/dad. My life is a good life. God has been faithful and has blessed me more than I deserve. Great kids, Great wife, Great life. We have been doing a lot of schedule modifications because of a new job that I picked up during the fall. I worked for Inter-State Studios as a school photographer. I traveled all over central & northern PA. We also shot some schools in Pittsburg and Reading. It is the "assembly-line" of photography… shooting 300+ kids a day on my camera. I took the position to help me with my photography skills. In the next year, I will be promoting the photography end of Rodo Video & Multimedia. I worked with some "old" friends… The Class of 1982 had our 25yr class reunion. Small turnout, but nice get-together.

82 Jersey Shore Bulldogs Class Reunion....

2007-09-04T14:41:00.000-05:00

25 years have gone by....
Had a great time @ the Gamble Farm Inn.... both Friday Night & Saturday Night. My core group of friends that I used to hang out with did not attend, but I got to talk to classmates that I never really knew during High School. It was great catching up and sharing stories. I look forward to the 30 year reunion.
