Fast Times at Ridgemont High The Buck House
Man! This week flew by! I didn't even realize it was Friday until I realized it was Friday. By the time it got here, I realized I hadn't been a very faithful blogger. But I couldn't let Family Friday slip through the cracks. This week was kind of a big week for us. Nothing serious, just trucking along.
And now...PICTARS!
Needed a picture for the church directory and ended up getting some great shots. Here's the highlight reel:

All together now..."Awwww!" Brodie and I have gotten to spend quite a bit of time together lately, compared to usual. Between working and schooling all the time, it gets really hard to see him or Kimberly. Usually I leave for school before they do, and by the time Kimberly is getting off work I'm headed to the Olive Garden. With any luck, though, it's a temporary ailment.
Kimberly and I also are on a bit of a healthy kick. We're not fanatics, but we've stocked the house with healthier snacks and are making healthier decisions about what we eat. Over the past two months I've meandered down from 250 pounds to 235. It's not a huge difference, but it's a difference. Now rather than fluctuating between 248-252, I'm floating around 233-237. So that's a good start. We dug out the P90X, too. Full disclosure: I don't much care for working out. But I'm down for punching an imaginary man in the face.
A major upcoming decision is starting to really stress me out. I won't apply to law school until January 1st, 2012, but I'm really stressed about how it will come out. Everything is kind of riding on it, and it's a do-or-die decision for us. I've got to prepare to re-take the LSAT, probably this October, and I need a 159. Last time I took it cold, with no prep, and scored a 150, so I'm excited about my prospects. But a less-than-stellar start to my undergraduate career may undermine my chances of getting a fellowship, which would pay for my schooling and provide a stipend. If that doesn't work out, I'd still be eligible for a scholarship. If you're the praying type, hit up the Heavenly Homeboy for me. If you're not...well, go to church, fool! Sheesh,
In other news, the baby has been really mobile in Kimberly's little tummy. If I lay my big ol' head on the baby bump, she pushes it off. I like that, though. Hopefully she'll do the same thing when little boys start trying to get too close. We're still kind of hung up on a name, though we've got some favorites. But we've agreed not to post anything online until it's on the birth certificate. Side note: Last week Kimberly got a shot in the butt. What a trooper. I'm glad the childbirth part isn't in my job description; the whole thing seems terribly uncomfortable.
That's it for this week! Off to serve some salad and breadsticks. Hope y'all had a good week and are gonna enjoy this beautiful Arkansas weekend!
