The First Annual Gregventure

Last weekend, the YoungLife leaders from NKY headed out to Gaudtropolis for our lovely fall leader weekend. It was a great weekend, full of wonderful conversations, awesome worship and some legit lessons. During our free time on Saturday, Tieke, Sean, Drif, Morgan, Jess and I embarked on "The Gregventure" (unfortunately, our other Greg, Greg Baker, couldn't attend). We hiked from the mountain that The Gaudtraud's live on, down to the Ohio River. And it was a trek. When we first begun, Tieke concocted the idea that we could create a blog about it. So here it is.

Unfortunately, I stuck my camera in Tieke's Camelback and it got all wet. So the pictures turned out a bit blurry. Oops.

We found an animal skull!

Sean and Morgan with the animal skull.

Me, Morgan and Jess on sweet railroad tracks we stumbled upon. This picture would be really awesome if it wasn't blurry, ha.

Such a pretty flower! Once again, it would've looked a lot cooler if my camera wasn't wet.

Tieke's battle wound  


Haha. Tieke was really proud of that video for this blog. We were going to film another one once we got to the river but we forgot, haha, oops. Looking back on this, the Gregventure itself was awesome, but out documentation of it most definitely was not. It was actually kind of pathetic. But I promised Tieke I would blog about it, so here it is!

New Year

A new year has begun and I feel like all the good bloggers post about the new year. They either look back on big moments in the past year or look forward to upcoming events in the new one. I sat in front of my computer for a long time trying to think of something worthy of a new years post. And I can't really come up with anything. I'm not really a big new year person. To me, nothing really changes except that I'll spend the next four months writing 201 4 5. Which is so annoying. I've made the same new year's resolution for the past three or so years. It's to floss everyday. And I already know that I'm going to fail. I know this because it's the third consecutive year that I've made this same resolution. I want to floss. I enjoy the thought of myself flossing every day. And I hate the condescending look my dentist gives me when my gums start bleeding the millisecond after the floss hits them. I just never actually do it. It's hard for me to l...

How we paid off our debt in ONE YEAR!

Image
You guys... we paid off ALL our school debt.  This whole thing started last January. We were at the Young Life 75 conference in Florida and Dave Ramsey spoke. He was hilarious and wise and I instantly fell in love with him. He gave us all a free copy of his book. I thought that was nice but unnecessary for us. We already "budgeted" and had a (looooong) plan to pay off our debt. But it turns out that Dan needed something to read on the airplane home. By the time we landed in Ohio, Dan had figured out that if we followed this plan, we could have all our student loans, which were our only debt, paid off in 14 months! This sounded a little crazy to me but Dan was sold, so we gave it a try and whataya know... 13 months later and we're already debt free! Here's a picture from that trip last year where we heard Dave Ramsey... and went to Harry Potter World!!! Here's how we did it: Preface: None of these are our original ideas. ZERO. We literally just did exac...

We're moving... again!

For the past two months we've been renting a house. It's a great house. It's huge and is the perfect location and has a lot of character. Though, there are some down sides to it. It's very old so the pipes froze a lot in the winter. The walls are plaster, not dry wall, so there are lots of big and unsightly holes. Our backyard is a muddy mess. Stuff like that. But overall, I like our house a lot. Unfortunately we have had a few disagreements with our landlord. After a miscommunication in Mid-February she offered that we could break our lease with no penalties if we wanted to move out. At first, the idea was daunting. We had literally JUST unpacked our last box and hung up our final piece of artwork on the wall. We couldn't imagine packing everything back up again, transporting it, then unpacking again. But we had signed a two year lease and just weren't sure if we could stomach another two years of living in this property. So we started looking around, just...
