Life

Hey all,

Not much going on lately. Studying for college tests and good stuff like that. The weather is broiling hot at times and wet and rainy at others. So yeah... I don't really have anything to say except that life is going well. I'm excited!

I don't even have any pictures so I guess you'll just have to be satisfied with text. My brother has my camera but I wasn't taking pictures with it anyway. Have a great day!

See ya,
Ryan : )

Hey all,

Thought you might enjoy this arrangement of 2 pieces.



I really like strings with piano. It's a weakness of mine. ;-)

See ya,
Ryan : )

Here I be...

Hey all,

Wow! It has been a loooong time since I posted here. Well most of my readers know what is up with me since my last post. I went to ALERT for five months and then came back. I was going to go back for five more months but changed my mind at the last second. Now I am working on getting a plan for life together and am seeking God's direction for every step. I'm excited about moving ahead and can't wait to see what God has in store for me.

My life looks kinda like this right now. Roads going in every direction. Good thing God has the map and the destination. Otherwise I would be kind of lost.

Life goes on! Maybe I can keep updating this blog a little more regularly. Anyway...

See ya,
Ryan : )

Off to ALERT again!

Hey all,

I'll be saying goodbye once more here. Hope you won't miss me too bad. I'm going back for another session at ALERT. I'll be gone for quite awhile this time.



I would appreciate your prayers as I will be doing stuff that is probably more dangerous than before. High angle rescue, firefighting, sawyer work, etc. It'll be another growing opportunity as well so just pray that I'll be able to step up to the challenge and take the initiative on things. I need to work on taking the lead on things as opposed to taking the back seat. I appreciate everyone's support!

See ya next time,
Ryan :-)

Fun post

Hey all,

I'm posting from an iPod touch and I don't like
The keyboard much. However it is a novel experience.

Bye!

Hockey game on the pond

Hey all,

Here's some coverage of our first hockey game of the year on the pond next door. Some Flynns and Luekens came over and made it one awesome hockey game. The pond was only frozen hard for one day and now is melting under the rain. Hopefully it'll be back soon.

The battle rages under the trees.

Josh makes a break for it.

The sun goes down over the gas line. We played till we couldn't see the puck.

More fighting over the puck.

And more...

Becky prepares to backhand the puck into the goal.

It's Abigail! Man, she's a cute one.

One last shot of the action... Sorry, not very creative with the captions today.

All in all everyone had a blast! Thanks for coming over Flynns and Luekens! It was a great game.

See ya,
Ryan : )

I'm baaaack!

Hey all,

Yeah I've been home for over 2 weeks and I haven't posted. Thanks for all your prayers while I've been away. It definitely was the toughest 9 weeks of my life thus far and I couldn't have made it without God's help. There's some pictures on the family blog from the promotion ceremony and I only have a few pictures from Basic so I'm not going to put a whole slew of them up. Most of you guys have seen them anyway. There's a ton of pictures on Facebook as well.

If you're dying for pics then let me know. ;-)

See ya,
Ryan :-)
