Muchos Gracias Jientes!

On the eve of a new year I've awaken from my blogging slumber to say thank you.

Thank you to...

• Jesus Christ for his proactive love and sacrifice
• My wife for her tireless love and care for me and the girls
• Family for reminding me of the lineage I've been birth from and why being grounded is bliss
  
• Friends that balance me, laugh at me, and encourage me to not give up
• The pain of life this last year which has been a great tutor, maturing me
• My employer for steady pay checks
• My home for being homie and a great place to change the world by raising a family there
• Chuck Taylor Allstars shoes for hanging in there even though they are on their stylish last leg cuz I wore them out
  
• VW Bug for chugging her way into her 41st year of service
• The moments of joy that fill a day when I pause and think about how good I have it
  
• MESO for helping me get my photography business off the ground this year.
• To see the first US President who aside from being qualified to lead happens to be Black (fancy that)
  
• and last but not least my pillow for the slobber you've collected and comfort you've provided as I re-charge each night to live out my destiny another day.

I know my list is a little scattered but I'm thankful none the less for those things mentioned and those I failed to mention.

Black Adventures in White Snow

Well we are trying to get to Cali for Christmas but can't currently due to some crazy weather in Portland. Here are three videos that highlight our most recent adventure out of the house to the airport to see if we could reschedule our flight. It took place this morning at 8am and sadly ended after a great and expensive effort at 9:21am.
