Mike and Nicole Peterson

Ok, sorry for the delay in posting.  I have been busy napping and eating mac and cheese.

Ok, for the big news.  I am going back to school.  I have decided to study computer animation, multimedia production and video game design.  It has taken a lot of thought and I now, I have my classes, new clothes, backpack and start on April 6th.

My only thing is that baseball season starts soon and I’m so happy that my classes this up coming quarter is all online.

Please stay tuned for more updates.

Hello All,

Ok, as you can see, we have changed out sight look.  We have also changed out tag line for this year.  I am going to try to update the blog more this year.  We have lots to tell.  Lots of changes going on in our lives.

First, I know we didn’t get our holiday cards out this year, or last year, or the year before.  For all of those who sent us them, we are sorry.  We are just lazy.  I have no other excuse.  I wish that I could tell you that we fought off a dragon or had to drop a ring into a lava pit but that is not the case.

Second, we are still trying to adopt and are getting ever so close to finding that right child for our family.  We have decided to adopt and older child, around the age of 2 or 3 since our neice, Claire is getting to be that age (I know, time flies).

and finally, for those who are wondering, I am feeling better.  It has been a year and I still battle with a few things here and there but for the most part I feel better, not great but better.  I am hoping to feel 100% by the time summer starts.  Wish me luck.

That covers about everything that I have to say.  Nicole and I lead a normal life.  Don’t worry, we are looking after my dad and making sure he is eating ok.  He is over for dinner about 1 or 2 times a week.

Keep checking back and I hope you enjoy our blog.

Hello everyone

It has been a few months.  I will post more in a few days but for all of you, have a happy holiday.

Today is my birthday.  I turned 32 today.  I can’t believe that I’m 32!  The family when out for dinner with me.  I chose Ci Ci’s Pizza Buffet because I haven’t been able to eat a lot and pizza sounded good.  Claire entertained us at the table and my dad told stories about the good old days of Steven and I as kids.

But now for my bad story of the day.  Someone hacked into my XBox Live account, charged 500 microsoft points on my credit card and changed my gamertag.  I had to spend all night talking with tech support who after about 4 or 5 hours told me since no other info was changed, that it was my fault and no refund would take place.  What a bunch of crap!  I am so mad right now.  So, then I message all of the friends that this punk placed on his friends list after deleting all of my friends, and asking them what was going on.  So if you have an xbox live account, be careful since people can get into them as well.

Even though I was mad, this really didn’t ruin my birthday since I got eveything fixed and I’m over it.  I will be posting more pictures on flickr soon.  You will have to see our bathroom project which is another story for later.

Good night

Mike

Well, it has come to an end. On July 27, 2008, my dad retired from 36 years as a pastor.

On Saturday, the members of St. Matthew and Silver Creek threw a great party for him. I have posted pictures from the day on the flickr page. I hope you enjoy them.

Thank you all for the memories that we have made over the last 14 years in Almena. Thank you to everyone who took care of my dad after my mom died.

We will miss you all.

Mike
