Cascade Christian Football in WA State Championship Game!
My high school football team, the Cascade Christian Cougars, are in the state championship game.
The game will be played at 1 pm at the Tacoma Dome on Saturday, December 5th.

Trent Misses Me
My LA roomie Trent misses me… he posted these two funny articles on his blog about it. I especially like the video in the second one:
I miss you too sweetheart. 🙂
