This is the St. Joseph lighthouse. I almost froze taking the picture but it was a must. Lately we have been getting a lot of snow here in Berrien County. But as it's been said, "cold is bold and ice is nice." Actually I don't mind it. I think it's beautiful and makes driving fun or not. It does bring back memories of sitting in front of the radio, back in the day, just hoping against hope that my school would be announced on the "closed" list. I wish they did that for dental offices, but like I said I'm enjoying the snow and whatever comes along with it.




My friends Matt and Leah Kohls. It was super nice to see them this past Sabbath. Don't they make a great couple!? (married a little over 1 year).



I also spent time with Ruan and Tara. They have the coolest dog who by the way is also a missionary in Bolivia. He rides under the plane and then gets to ride down the baggage claim belt. How fun! Anyways, they gave a really nice vespers about their experience in Bolivia and how God is truly using them to build up a precious school. God has already brought many young people to Christ through their efforts. Praise God that he uses ordinary people like us!



On Superbowl Sunday, at 5 degrees...feeling like sub 0... a 5K race was scheduled and completed! (great job guys! once again...cold is bold)



Ready, Set, GOOOOOO! Actually, I think they shot a gun!



Christian, after a quick 22 minute finish. He received the 2nd place medal in his age group. :) My dad ran a really great race too!!



I also spent some time with my wonderful co-workers (friends) at a dental meeting in Grand Rapids last Friday.



What a great weekend! I praise God that He has made my life so fun and exciting to live!!

Well... if "cold is bold" then it looks like there was a couple of bold guys out there.:) The picture with your dad holding the whole grain bread could be an advertisement...
Enjoyed the pictures.

The scientific community is in disarray today as BIS news announced that I + C does not = B. It was previously thought that C = P but today that theory was disproved also. Although it has been quite a shock McGuillian of the NOYB said that “they could at least rely on G=F”. As this life changing situation unfolds we will keep you informed.

We have a live audio of runner Christian Martin, let's listen in: "Christian Martin, do you have anything to say to your fans?" "Yes, I'd like to thank all my fans out there for their support. I especially like to thank www.melaniesomething.blogspot.com for their coverage of the Super Bowl 5K, posting my picture, and reporting on my time and place in the race. I also want to thank www.christianheidi.blogspot.com for their continuing loyalty and unquestionable support. I love my fans out there and #103 will continue to run. As a famous philosopher once said, 'Cold is bold.'"

Important News Bulletin, Could you please explain your equations. They are confusing our readers. One thing we know here at Mi Vida is that "cold is bold."

#103, All the best in the Chicago Marathon. We are priveledged to offer our 1,000,000/month. Truly it's a drop in the bucket.

I am not sure what important news bulletin is saying. It does look like fun so I will let you philosophers work a real idea.
Who ever said cold is bold only knows the status quo. Better to be warm and bold than cold and bold for cold is not really bold.

Anónimo dijo...

Cold is not really bold because, well, the bold do not get cold.

Awww, looks like you guys have been having awesome weather! Ours has been nice. I went to the mountains this weekend for our GYC leadership retreat. Sooo much fun!

I think it is time that I gave my expert legal advice before someone gets in trouble. You can not accept credit cards over the internet without having a merchant license. So rather than risk jail time let us take care of the financial issues. Please make checks, credit card payments etc to lawyersanonymous and we will take care of the funding issue (for a healthy fee of cause).

I see people are posting crazy stuff so I thought it would be good to give some sane advise. Guys not a good Idea.


A man forgot his wedding anniversary and his wife was really ticked off at
him. She told him, "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in under 6 seconds, AND IT BETTER BE
THERE." The next morning, he got up really early. When his wife woke up a
couple of hours later, she looked out the window, and sure enough, there was
a small gift-wrapped box sitting in the middle of the driveway. Confused,
the wife put on her robe, ran out to the driveway, and took the box into the
house. She opened it, and found a brand new bathroom scale. He is not yet
well enough to have visitors.

Mi Vida ordered to pay $1.52B in patent suit
Jury says the blog maker infringed on Alcatel-Lucent patents related to digital technology.
February 22 2007: 6:28 PM EST

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A federal jury said Thursday that Mi Vida blog site infringed digital patents held by Alcatel-Lucent and should pay $1.52 billion in damages.

Tom Burt, Blogspot corporate vice president and deputy general counsel, said the verdict was unsupported by law or facts.

"Today's outcome is disappointing for us and for the hundreds of other blogsters who have licensed blog technology.
