Welcome to my Blog!!!

Hello everyone,

Since I graduated college in May and moved away from MS, it is hard to keep in touch with everyone. Over the next few years, I will be moving to at least 3 different locations all over America and possibly the world. I miss everyone, and I’d like to keep in touch and let everyone know where my travels take me. Since my college roommate and good friend Ryan Sparks got married, he has been keeping a blog updating friends and family on his honeymoon and the many places his work has already taken him. I have really enjoyed reading about all the places he and Bekah have seen and the things they have done in just the past few months. That’s where my idea for this blog came from, and I hope that you guys will check in on the blog from time to time.

Some topics you can look forward to include:

  • Alaskan summer activities such as Glacier cruises, sea kayaking, fishing for aquatic creatures longer than Jarvis Varnado’s wingspan, visiting the tallest mountain in North American….Mt. McKinley, Train rides along the Alaskan countryside, hiking, biking, and “flightseeing”
  • Alaskan winter activities such as snowboarding, heli-skiing, snow-machining, northern lights watching, dog-sledding (especially the Iditarod spanning 1100 miles), and seeing who can sit on a block of ice buck-naked the longest.
  • More detailed information on the Northern Lights
  • Visiting the North Slope in the Arctic Circle
  • Books I am currently reading
  • A list of things that really grinds my gears

I figured if you don't come to the blog to read
about my adventures, you can come to the
blog to see me bust my butt.
This is how we sled in Buffalo

I like to see that I got credit for the blog. You are just one of the many thousands that have piggybacked off my idea.

When did you go to Buffalo?

Hey take off the word verification. I doubt you're gonna get spam comments from a computer. It's somewhere in Settings.

By the way, your pictures reminded me of myself in Breckenridge.

Hahah, by many thousands do you mean one?

I went to Buffalo in late 04. I've been back since, but I think that's what it was from. We went up to see the Bills/Steelers game in which the Bills lost to the Steelers' backups to miss out on the playoffs. And it finally snowed the morning we were supposed to leave, so we enjoyed it.

And it just reminds you of Breck because you were taking pics of everything just like I was? Haha, it was amazing.
