Man nothing beats live music! Kristin and I, along with several others went to SONGWRITER”S NIGHT at WKCTC. It was in the theater up on stage. It was a rather nice experience they had a small stage set up on one end of the theater stage and tables and chairs on the rest of the stage for the audience.

The performers were very good. They started off with a friend of ours, Dale Bickford. He is a very talented musician that I enjoy listening to. He was followed by a Shawn Chester, who was also very good and very lively. He sang some contemporary Christian music. Rick Scott, songwriter and former Alabama band member, was next and was accompanied by two talented singers. One was a 17 year old girl, who man wow could she sing!

The gem of the night, to me at least, was three guys who called themselves the Wes Kaintuck and the Atomic Ramblers, a three-piece bluegrass band. They are actually a part of a larger band called Bawn in the Mash. Never would have guessed an old friend of mine Nathan Lynn would be singing bluegrass! But if you ever have the chance, check these guys out!! They are a rocking good time. And if you have ever spent any time in Paducah or lived in Paducah then they have some songs that will definitely make you crack a smile!

Wow what a subject! In the last couple of weeks I have finally come around, that is in the security realm. I have started hardening all machines I have. There are so many angles and so many mouse holes to block. Its a life times work in itself.

My biggest downfall was not checking the logs like I should have been. A co-worker of mine who also runs his own webserver actually made me think about checking more often and security all around.

I also updated all my server boxes as well. I think I should be running pretty good for now.

Wow the world moves fast. Another year has come and gone, but a lot of good things this past year brought. As I sat thinking about last night and the past year, I become to realize just how truly blessed I am. I am blessed with family, friends, and a wife, that no other woman could compare to. Funny how as you do get older you get wiser (even though I had wisdom tooth pulled this past week!)

Its so easy to get caught up in the here and now, the this and that but you will miss what true pleasures life brings, as in each other and the company of the one you love and care about. That in its self is a lesson that must be learned personally I guess. I remember early in college in my more rebellious days, if you will, there were times when I could care less about hanging out with my immediate family much less my extended family. Man now I think wow, what was I thinking. I truly believe your character is build from what you learn and who you learn if from, so soround yourself with people you admire and wish to be like.

So big recap of the last month. Kristin and I have been busy with some company for the past few weeks, her sister Heather is in town visiting us and Dan Hall, my cousin whom she is dating. We have had a blast having her here. I know it meant alot to Kristin to have her here. Holidays are hard here for Kristin, not being with her family. I espcially have enjoyed Heather being here, her presence has put a glow back in Kristin that she has been missing since she started having her headaches. It has been great for the four of us to hang out and do things.

Christmas was great, we drug Heather along to all my family events. She actually made one that Kristin and I missed (breakfast). We recieved lots of great gifts. Thanks mom and dad! Thanks Ann!(I love the clock!) I hope everyone had a good holiday. New Years was fun, Kristin and I had just a few people over (last minute idea). Dan and Heather of course, along with Joe, Angie, and Chrissy came. Amanda also stopped by for a while. We enjoyed some great wines and cheese, but above all we had a blast just enjoying each other. Kristin and I watched a movie earlier about a big family. I always wished I would have had a brother or two. Well its easy to over look but I do have a couple. Other people call them cousins. I couldnt have picked better brothers if I had to.

You know I was having a conversation with an old friend the other night. She was telling me about her boyfriend troubles and how didnt know what she was going to do on New Years. She told me that you have to kiss someone at New Years because it will tell how your year is going to go. In other words if you dont kiss someone, you will have a bad year. I told her that is funny because my worst New Years was the year I met Kristin, now look we’re married. She said well, maybe if you call me tomorrow night to wish me a happy new years I will be sound asleep in my bed. Life is meant to be lived, the world is your’s told hold. The only thing to hold you back is not anyone but yourself. Dream big!
