Nearly the end of October now, and it definitely appears that we are
full into Fall now. The weather has changed back to the dreary, wet,
colder types of days that have us turning on the heat, starting fires,
and drinking coffee all throughout the day.
The
fifth annual LBF chili cook-off was another success. This year, we had
our first female winner..... Stephana Timmer took home the first place
award for this year. In addition, Tiff Stauffer came her very closest
ever to a win, coming in a very close second place, with her gluten free
chili. And as well, another female winner..... Erin Swedberg took home
the coveted "Boobie Prize" this year. :-)
Football season is
coming to an end for us this weekend. Evan plays his final game today,
in Lynden. We are hoping so much for a great win, and even more than
that, hoping that Evan plays the best game of the season today. He
loves football so much, and we just love watching him play. He has an
amazing gift of athleticism, and he just does things on the football
field that other kids can't do.
With football behind
us, we will enter a new season this year. Although Evan doesn't like to
play basketball, Sierra has decided that she does indeed want to go out
for basketball this year. So, this morning, I will be taking her to
get her signed up for the season, and dropping her off for her first day
of practice. This should be quite fun, as she has never participated
in any other sports, with exception of one season of t-ball. We look
forward to seeing our little girl on the court.
For Evan, with
sports done for the year, we will be starting to have him take weekly
drum lessons. Evan is very excited about band, and music..... and
especially about becoming a drummer.
Grammy and Papa
have been here for a couple of weeks now, and have decided to add one
more week here with us. They came to spend time with the kiddos, and to
see Evan play in his last two football games of the season. They also
wanted to be here for their first time at our chili cook-off. And now,
they have decided to stay for watching the kids enjoy Halloween this
next week. The kids are enjoying it greatly, as they are being spoiled
like crazy!!! :-)
I started my second job, working for
Westside Pizza in Everson, just this last week. My first day was a
full 9 hours, and then I worked just a short couple of hours yesterday
again. I will be back on Monday for another full day, and then should
be into a fairly regular work pattern there throughout the month of
November. I anticipate putting in 20+ hours a week there, in hopes of
making enough money to help us start try and climb out from under the
huge mountain of debt we are in. At minimum wage plus tips, there is no
doubt that I am going to have to work as many hours as possible, and it
is going to take a very long time to make any real progress...... but,
it is a job, and part time jobs that work around my regular shift work
schedule as a firefighter, they are hard to find and come by.
I
am feeling sad today, as I realize that I haven't been on my bike now
in a full 10 days!!! Absolutely crazy, and I feel it. I have slipped
out of my routine this past three weeks, and really need to get back at
it again, right away. I am planning to go back at it hard once again
on Monday...... no looking back, no regrets..... just simply back on
track, with hard work and determination once again. Although I have no
intentions of being in a calendar or anything of the sort....... I would
like to be able to look at myself in the mirror, and to be able to see a
mid 40's year old guy who could be in a calendar!!! Time to get busy.
That's about it for now.... I am sure I am leaving out something, or more..... but I will post about all of that next time :-)

The Monster Is Gone!!!.................
.....At least for now, that is.
Yesterday morning, we were able to finally have just a bit of closure on the torment and pain and anger that has been a huge part of our entire year.... We were able to be in Superior Court, to watch The Monster (aka Greg Bass) be formally sentenced to prison, and then taken away to jail.
It was an emotional morning for us, filled with a whole host of feelings. We were so glad to finally have this day arrive...one which we all believed should have taken place a good six months ago now!!! As much as we didn't want to see this sick freak ever again, it was actually good that he was able to see all of us, and all of the friends and family and supporters that we had there on behalf of all of the victims that have been at the hands of this evil.
As he sat on the front bench of the court room, with only his mother at his side, we had practically the entire other side of the court room filled with the victims family members, friends and other supporters.....and that was awesome. Not only did the Monster have to see and take notice, but so did his mother, and the Judge. I believe that it made a powerful statement!!!
In addition, I went before the Judge, along with two others, and spoke on behalf of my son, Evan, as well as on behalf of all of the other victims..... past, current, and sadly.... those that will be in the future. I have no doubt that there will be more. The maximum sentence allowed is only 5 years in prison, and so, this Monster will be back at it again in just a matter of 6-8 years!!!
But for now, the maximum sentence was given. We watched and got a photo as the Monster was cuffed and taken from the court room, to be placed in jail until next Tuesday, when he will be hauled down to the prison in Shelton, WA.
Yesterday brought us some closure, and a bit of comfort. At least for the next 4-5 years. But I can promise this....when he does get released, and returns to our community once again, I plan to do everything in my legal right and power to make it very well known... who he is, what he has done, and where he is at... for as long as I am able to do so!!!!!
Thank you to our most wonderful and close friends, and my brother..... for taking the time to attend the sentencing with us. It means more to us than you all can possibly imagine!!! I only wish now that we had filled the entire court room, with standing room only!!!
Today, we start moving forward for the next 4-5 years, without having to worry about the Monster any longer. That feels really good. :-)
Perhaps, on this magnificent and glorious Fall day, I shall go out and spend a few hours on the bike!!! The kids are in school, and Tracie is in Portland for the Women of Faith conference.....so, it's just me and the bike and the awesome day outside!!! :-)

Fall Has Arrived!!! :-)
Oh man.... my very favorite time of year!!! I love the weather, the colors, the smells...... and the upcoming holidays!!! I long for the arrival of Fall weather..... those slightly cooler days, but still bright and sunny and dry.... perfect for working outdoors, or going on some amazing bicycle rides! :-)
I headed to Oregon this past weekend, to welcome the arrival of Fall, by riding in the Harvest Century Bicycle ride with my brother Brad, my great friend Scott, and our other cycling friend Doug. What an awesome weekend it was! The weather was fantastic, the route was beautiful, and the ride went very well for me. 120.5 miles logged for the day..... we left Grammy & Papa's place on our bikes at 6:30am, and arrived back "home" again at 6:45pm!!! A total of 7 hours 42 minutes on the bikes!!! :-)
While we were away, Fall came in here at home. The weather changed, with the temperature dropping down to those cooler Fall 60's, and a slight NNE wind helping to bring the leaves to the ground. It is still bright and sunny, and absolutely beautiful outside..... perfect for riding, and for getting some outdoor things accomplished before the rains return in another week or so.
Tracie is heading down to Portland this weekend, with a pack of women.... headed to the Women of Faith conference! Should be a great time for her, and them all.
Tomorrow morning is finally the day we have been waiting for now for most of this year...... The Monster (aka Greg Bass) is finally being sentenced and sent off to prison tomorrow morning, in Superior Court, at 8:30am. We are so relieved to finally have this chapter of our lives be coming to an end, and for justice to finally begin to be served on this horrific animal of a human being. We can only pray that God has His mighty hands involved on justice being delivered appropriately to Greg.
It is hard to believe, but we are now winding our way down to the end of the year. We have our annual Chili cook-off competition coming up in just two weeks!!! Tracie and I have our 21st anniversary in just two weeks!!! And Evan's football season will only have two more weekends after this upcoming Saturday. In the blink of an eye, we are going to be into November, and starting to prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!
This Fall and Winter will be just us...... no trips to Oregon. We will stay home as a family, and just enjoy the holidays and all that God has blessed us with.
:-) Hello Fall..... welcome back!!! :-)

HAPPY 46th ANNIVERSARY, GRAMMY & PAPA!!!
Yes indeed, today marks the 46th anniversary for my mom and dad......and that is quite remarkable!!!
Happy Anniversary to you both..... may there be very many more in your future together as well. :-)
We have been busy around here since my last post. Evan has played two weekends of really great football in a row now. In his game on the 15th, his team was victorious by a score of 39-0. Evan had a fantastic game, and scored 39 points for his team!!! Yes, you read that correctly..... the kid is good, and he is gifted, and he is talented. He loves the game of football, and it showed!!! :-)
Then, this last Saturday, his team won again, by a score of 27-6. Evan managed to score 21 of his teams 27 points, again playing really great football. It was so much fun to watch... not only Evan, but to see how the whole team has improved so much, and has come together as a football team!!! Lots of fun for sure. :-) Grammy and Papa came to visit for four days, and got to watch Evan in this game. That was fun for them, and for him. :-)
Grammy and Papa came to visit and to celebrate Sierra's upcoming 9th birthday with us, as they will leave for deer hunting camp on her actual birthday. So, they were here with us over the weekend, and we had some fun together as a family.
Bad and good news also.... our refrigerator stopped working on us, and it was going to cost around $800 to repair it. We found one, instead, at Dewaard & Bode, a return item in great shape, for $399!!! So, we now have a new refrigerator, and I think we are going to like it much better than the one that died!!! :-)
I started work at Westside Pizza last week. Worked only two shifts, first for 2 hours, and then for 3 hours. I am a fish out of water, and have no idea what I am doing. There is a huge learning curve, and I have a long ways to go. I only planned on being a delivery driver, but the owner really wanted me to be an in-store guy for him at the new Everson store when it opens in the near future. It turns out that this is hard work, dirty work, and a lot of work.....all for only minimum wage. I am really not all that sure if this is going to be worth it or not just yet..... I am going to have to work a whole lot of time and days here in order to make the kind of money that we need to try and start getting out of the mountain of debt that we are currently in. On the other hand, I don't really have any other options falling at my feet right now. So, I will keep on trying to learn what I need to learn, and hopefully things will get a bit better each day I put in.
One thing for certain...... I have a huge appreciation for my regular, career job as a firefighter. I love my job, and am blessed to have it!!! :-)
Brad and I will head to Portland this upcoming weekend, to ride in the Harvest Century ride, with Scott Taube. :-) Very excited about this event, and looking like we may actually get good weather for a change!!! :-)
Grandma and Grandpa are heading up to visit and celebrate Sierra's birthday this Wednesday. They will be here through the weekend. So, we are trying to get ready around here for our next set of guests, and I am trying to get ready to head out of town for the ride. In addition, just trying to get some things done around the farm before the weather turns on us soon.
So, gotta get out now and plant some trees..... see ya!!!
Happy Anniversary to you both..... may there be very many more in your future together as well. :-)

Times they are a changing.....
Yes, there is some real truth behind the title of today's post. Time's are changing for me, personally, and for my family..... very soon.
I went in today to Westside Pizza in Lynden and spoke with the owner. As of next week, I will begin working my second job. I have some real mixed feelings over this, and am not sure how to deal with them just yet. I never thought I would be in a position to where this is what I would have to do, in order to help sustain my family..... and yet, here I am, in that very position.
After going through the Dave Ramsey, Financial Peace course, I know that this is what must be done now, in order to work the steps towards financial peace. And yet, I am already dreading that I will no longer be around my kids regularly, and that I will be missing out on so many important things in their lives that I never wanted to, or thought I would have to.
I am asking for prayers, that God will help me to have the strength, courage, and stamina..... to deal with this new chapter in my life. I know it isn't going to be easy, and I know it is going to be very difficult on my children...... and that is the hardest thing for me to take. After being away from them for the past 48 hours, it really stinks to even think of just how much I am going to be away from them on a regular basis very soon now. My heart aches over this.
So, time to head outside and get busy taking care of as much as I can around here the rest of this week and weekend, because I have a feeling that my time around here is going to become significantly less real soon.
I long to see the results of following Dave Ramsey's steps to financial peace!!!

9/11 - Eleven Years Ago Today.....
Eleven years ago this morning, our world changed forever. Attacked by completely misguided people, who do NOT know God, who do NOT appreciate life, who do NOT know the love that Jesus has for them....... and it has caused horrible loss of life, destruction of property, and changed the way we all live forever!
Today, as I head to work for the next 48 hours at the Bellingham Fire Department...... I am proud to be a firefighter, proud to be an American, and most proud to be a follower of the Lord, Jesus Christ!!!
To my brothers who gave all this day eleven years ago..... 343...... I will never forget!!!
To all of the innocent victims who perished this day eleven years ago.... I will never forget!!!
In the words of Alan Jackson, "Where were you when the world stopped turning, that September day?"

FALL.... Football and Bicycling, Oh My!!!
School is back in full swing now for our kids, with this next week going to be their first full five days stretch. Our school system here starts school before Labor Day weekend, so our kids have a three day week, followed by a four day week, and then finally a full five day week.....I suppose to break them in slowly.
Along with school starting comes the arrival of the football season!!! We attended the Nooksack Valley High school home opener last Friday, and had a blast....along with a great win!!! :-)
Today, Evan's team plays their season opener, against a very tough Ferndale team, in Ferndale. It is a beautiful Fall day today, and the weather will be quite warm at game time, 1:45pm. Evan is very excited to get out and get playing, rather than just all practice. He wants to put all of the may weeks of hard work into action on the field today, and that makes me happy and proud!!! I am also looking forward to the big game this afternoon. I have watched for weeks now, as this team has practiced and learned and conditioned..... and it will be great to see how we work together as a team, come game time. :-)
Today also marks the big day for the OSU Beavers to kick off their season..... GO BEAVS!!!!! :-)
Last month was a great month of cycling for me, and I posted a really good number of rides, as well as miles. September is shaping up so far to be another big month of cycling for me. I have been riding longer rides, and am getting geared up for back to back weekend century rides, starting next weekend with the Chuckanut Century, and then the following weekend in Oregon for the Harvest Century. Brad and myself are heading out tomorrow for an 85 mile training and preparation ride for these upcoming weekends, to see how we are doing with our fitness levels and cycling legs and seat bones!!! Should be a great day, as we head south to Skagit county, along Clear Lake, then back up along Colony Mountain and Lake Sammish, on into Fairhaven. We will meet up with Tracie and the kids at BFD station 2, and then head on over to Mambo Italiano for a wonderful dinner together to finish off the day. :-)
Scott Taube will be joining Brad and myself this next weekend here for the Chuckanut Century. I was really hoping to have him here for a couple two or three days, so we could show him our place, and where we live, maybe take him to our church with us, and out to one or two of our favorite places...... but, he won't be able to make it up here until late Saturday night as it turns out. We will be up early to ride all day on Sunday, and will get home fairly late that evening I am sure.... dead dog tired and sore as well. Then, Scott will head back to Oregon on Monday. Bummer for us, and yet, we are so happy to at least have him finally able to make it up this way!!! :-)
Brad and I will be off to Oregon the next weekend, just the two of us, to joins Scott Taube for the Harvest Century. This ride has been moved up a couple of weeks from years past, and we are very hopeful that we will get much better weather this year!!! :-)
The rest of our month looks something like this..... school, football practice, football games, work, bicycling, church, yard work!!!
However, there is ONE other big event that we will have this month........... Sierra's 9th birthday!!!!! :-)
Grammy & Papa will come to visit for s few days, and then Grandma & Grandpa will come the next week to visit...... and we will celebrate Sierra's birthday twice this year!!! :-)
That's about it for now...... more to follow as I get it all straightened out, in my head, and on my calendar!!! :-)
