Introducing My Posse

While we were on our honeymoon i came up with the idea that I should form a posse. Now the purpose of this posse would just to hang out and have each other's backs. it wouldn't to be real intimidating, just relaxing and having a good time. I was very careful in who i let into the posse. each person serve's their own purpose and no one else brings what they do. But i also had to careful who i let in, since i couldn't let people in with personalities that would desire to overshadow me. That doesn't mean the people don't have outgoing personalities, but they are all ok with sort of taking a backseat. so here's my posse!

Leah- plays the role of 'magirl'. the other people are allowed to have their own 'magirls', but they can't be apart of the posse. Leah's job is to be faithful and by my side through it all. that is unless i was to prove myself to be insane and waaaay too obsessive.

Big, Fat, Bald Guy- This was a guy that sat at our table at a comedy/mystery dinner theater that Leah and I went to on our honeymoon. This guy had the coolest laugh and laughed at everything. he would be the guy that laughed at everything i said and generally made everyone feel good.

Big, Old Guy- this guy was someone we bumped into at Williamsburg. He looked like he was old and out of it. I was sitting next to him and it looked like he was incapable of really processing what was going on. Then out of no where he started to crack jokes about what was going on and he kept coming up with more. He would be the old guy who has walked the block a few times and was a little cynical about things.

Ricky White- ricky is an 8th grader in my small group. he would be around to be the 'protege' and to just do stupid things that would make everyone laugh. He would get us drinks when we were thirsty and make us laugh with the weird things he does.

David Ortiz- he would be the jovial big guy that would have our backs. Kinda the big loveable guy that would bring the muscles to the group. he would also cook for us sometimes.

Alice Cooper- now before some of the 'old fogies' read this one and flip a lid, let me explain. this guy is a christian now. Paul, a guy on staff with me, met him at his church when the Master's Chorale when there. I had heard that he had gotten saved, but didn't think too much of it. But Paul said the guy was totally solid. But Alice wouldn't be a regular member of the posse since he probably has plenty to do. He would be more a 'friend of the posse' that would hang out once in awhile and give us hook ups since he has plenty of connections.

Jason Varitek- he would be the hard working guy in the posse. when i needed someone to count on to get the job done, i'd count on Varitek.

There are other guys i'd like to have in my posse, like Doc Holliday, but he drinks too much. Then i'd like to have Willow in my posse, but his role is already taken by Ricky. Batman would be a connection of ours, another guy to have our back, but i don't think he'd be too fun to hang out with on a regular basis.

Back in SoCal

Leah and I made it safely back to SoCal after our honeymoon in Williamsburg, VA. We had a great time, did a lot but never felt like we were rushing ourselves. Thanks to everyone who had something to do with the wedding! We really appreciated your involvement!

Now its back to work. i'm hitting the ground running, as we have jr high summer camp in two weeks and then CORE Week after that. i'll add more later, but just wanted to let you know we're doing well and loving marriage!
