Ravens Game

This past Sunday, we scored tickets (courtesy of CM's parents) to M&T Bank Stadium for the Ravens regular season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars. We even received passes to go down on the field before the game to watch the team warm up for a little while.



The picture above is of the Ravens Long Snapper, Matt Katula. He has a funny story.




Watching a game in a luxury box is the way to go. The food was delicious. All the pictures can be found here.

Christmas 2008

Our first Christmas together was a lot of fun (and travel). Many thanks to everyone who gave us lots of fun gifts. All of the pictures are here.

Young Life Leadership Christmas Party

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Tree and Decorations

So our initial hunt for Christmas trees didn't go so well. The selection at the first tree farm we visited was weak.


We eventually found a good tree at another farm. I like to think of it as the Charles Barkley of Christmas trees. It's fat.


The house looks great and it's been a lot of fun to put everything together. We even got some snow the other day.

YL Visits the Batley's

Yup, that's our Associate Pastor's family. The week after we showed up at their house at 6:30 AM and no one was awake to let us in. Good times.

Putting the final touches on Halloween

Let me first just say that I felt like I was dressed up as one of these. We were however Hungry, Hungry Hippos. I'm about as proud of the above photo as I am of this one...


All pictures from Halloween and pumpkin carving are here.

North Bay 2008

We have just gotten home from our Young Life fall weekend and after a nap this afternoon, we are still in the process of recuperating. Here are the pictures from the weekend. Enjoy!

Halloween 2008

So one of our new traditions is to go out every year, pick a pumpkin, and cut some sort of a design into the pumpkin. This year's theme could be called "A House Divided".

Farm Pix

CM and I had some free time to other day and decided to go out and get a few shots out in the country. A few pictures are here.

Team Towson Camping Trip

So in what is becoming a new tradition, Team Towson decided to go on a camping trip a couple of weeks ago. The Metzger family had gotten a tent and camping supplies for our wedding (Thanks Rich and Nancy) and so it gave us an opportunity to try out our new stuff.

The guys were in charge of leaving early and setting up camp and we headed up to a place called Morris Meadows. Long story short: it was terrible. We would have slept on a gravel parking lot.


So once we left hell Morris Meadows we decided to set up camp in the Weaver's backyard. The tent worked great and we ended up having a great time.


To top it off the following morning we decided to get a group picture. Unfortunately this was the last picture I could get before the battery died on the camera. Pretty much summed up the whole experience.

First Club of Fall 2007

We had our first club of the fall semester last Wednesday and it was a blast. In the picture above, it has been said that the kid next to me looks almost exactly like me. So to play it up, we had him come out as Mini-Me. The sad thing is that many of the kids had no idea who Mini-Me actually was. Here are all the pictures.

Kelly and Drew's Wedding

A couple of weeks ago CM and I attended our first wedding since our own back at the end of June. We had a great time at Kelly and Drew's wedding and we were able to get a couple of pictures in the midst of all the dancing.



I think this shot of Kelly walking down the isle is very cool (taken by my lady) and He's Always Been Faithful was a great song selection to walk down the aisle to. A few more pictures here.

House Update: Living Room

This weekend CM and I worked out getting our living room painted. The upper picture is us working and the lower picture is sort of what the room should like when we are finished with everything.

Throwback Thursday: Chewbacca Dancing

Back by popular demand...



This was done at Lake Champion 3 years ago when I was up there for the summer as video intern.

Labor Day

For labor day weekend, wifey and I traveled to Ocean City for two days to be with her family and then back to good old SP to go out on the boat and hang out with my fam. We had great weather and got to see one of the coolest sunsets that I had seen in a long time.



We were trying to get a family shot with my fam here's how it turned out. We look good.

More DC United

I recently had the opportunity to take CM and our friend Kirstin to a DC United game. I had some stuff to film pre-game so we were able to enjoy a 3-0 victory by DC including a couple of great goals (first and second). Thanks to Kyle for the great seats.



All the photos are from that game and my last DC United game are here.

Old Man Softball

Recently I played softball with our church's team and the wifey was a good sport and came along to photograph the event. The problem was the game only lasted about a half an hour because the team we were playing laid the smackdown and slaughtered us in a few innings. So for our resident photographer to stay entertained she created another photo shoot for the Weaver kids.




All the pictures are right here.

Zuidema Family Cruise

CM and I just returned home from the Zuidema Family Cruise/Family Reunion/Birthday/Anniversary Celebration. We had a great time and it was a fun opportunity to get to know her side of the family. If these photos look familiar, it's because I went on the same cruise last summer with my family. Good times, including this hum-dinger of a photo below. Dutch Girl never saw it coming.

O's Game

Wifey and I didn't have very big plans for Sunday until a guy at church walked up to me and handed me 4 Orioles tickets and a parking pass. So the two of us along with Sarah, Kirby, and Jeff made the trip to downtown Baltimore through lightning and rain to watch the O's break a 15 game losing streak on Sundays.




Luckily I thought to bring the trash bags before we left. The other big highlight of the day was getting to see our umpire friend from my Bachelor Party. It was the same dude!


After the game Jeff and I yelled at him and waved our hands in the air to get his attention but I think he probably just thought we were drunk. All the pictures are here.
