Settlers, Cities, and Knights!!

So tonight my wife was amazing and said, “I want to play settlers of Catan with your.”  I said okay can we go over to Eddie’s?  And she said “yes.”

So we went over to Eddie’s and played Settlers of Catan with the expansion of Cities and nights.  And now we are in the process of making shakes.

God is good!

The games ended in a win for myself Barely.

Me: 13, Eddie: 12, Amanda: 5.

Now when Mrs. Culin gets home we are going to play the card game called, Guillotine.

As you can tell we are a group that loves to play games.  so if you like to play games, Bring it.  But watch out for my wife she can be a intense competitor.

James and Alyssa we miss you very much on nights like tonight.  maybe we can play a game using ichat.  How fun would that be?

Well here is a lasting impression of my wife and her intensity of playing games!

Aloha!

Single again

As of tomorrow about 2:30 pm I am going to be a single man.  My wife will be at a conference in Texas for the next 4 days.  I am free, free as a bird.  I think I am going to run amuck!  Anyone up for running with me?

I think that the first thing I am going to do will…. Amanda is sitting right here.  I have to save it for a later blog.

Peace!

Free show?! Heck Yes!

So Yesterday Amanda and I were blessed with a pair of tickets to the Michael Buble concert.  It was AMAZING.  The stage and effects were awesome.  It was a great date for me and my wife.  Plus some of the things that we saw were really funny.  In the row right in front of us there was an old man (approx. 60’s) and his date that he was so excited about, looked young (approx. 20’s).  I first thought it was a father daughter combo but then we saw some sweet lovin’.  Blahhhhh!!!  Then you had the 12 yr old in the front rows that Buble was talking to that didn’t smile. They put her picture on the big screens. There was other fun that happened onscreen as well.

But the show was amazing.  Now the group before blew my mind when they performed. There are a 7 piece vocal group that didn’t use an instruments or tracks. Everything was done vocally. Every beat, every sound, every silky smooth lyric. You should check them out. They’re called Naturally 7.

Thank you Jesus (and of course, Rebecca) for the free tickets. Awesome night. Would highly recommend it.

Master’s

Can you believe it?  I did it!  I have taken all of the classes, walked across the stage, been hooded, taken a picture, and shook the hand of Dr Ellis (President of CBU) and took a picture with him as he handed me a Gold cylinder for my degree to go in I guess.  And yes sat through the entire ceremony.  Thank goodness it was at night and not in the morning.  Anyway all this to say I was still waiting on the results of my Comp’s.

So tonight I did not go tho church.  I am sorry friends and family, but I went to my master’s class dinner where I discussed my comp’s and final portfolio project that I need to do.  When talking to the department chair we discussed my comps and then he said congratulations you passed.  I took a long deep breath and then took a sigh of relief and then was able to relax.  I want to thank all of my family and friends that have been there for me along this long rough road from this past summer.  You have all been an encouragement and blessing on keeping me sane.  I especially want the thank my girlfriend at the time and now WIFE, Amanda for supporting me in this process and telling me that I can do this.  Also my friend and professor Dr. Sullivan, You have been an encouragement to me educationally and helped me to learn about what it is to be a true man of God.  Crystal, if it wasn’t for you I don’t know what I would have done.  From keeping me focused in class (most of the time) to keeping me from freaking out you have helped me to get this degree.  And to all my family that I saw and talked to you daily, Much Mahalo’s.  I love you all.  Da Zimbardi’s Mahalo’s for letting me stay with you, you have blessed me with more than you can ever imagine, and PA sorry we didn’t get to hang out as much as planned, I do think you are the coolest.  I mean you are an amazing artist, I loved the jean book covers,  I would sport all your stuff.  And Gracie you make me smile all the time.  James and Alyssa,  Thank you for allowing me to invade your home and stay over every once and a while!    You are my family and I can’t wait to go eat at the waffle house in ATL with you!  I miss you guy’s sooooo much.  It is not the same with out you.  Eddie and Cheryl for the love and support, you are amazing family.  I am sorry if I missed you.  I love you all.  Lastly, Mom and Dad (I hope you have been surfing in Heaven with God) Stacy, Kainoa, Matt, Brooke, and Tim thank you for loving me.  I could not have asked for a better family.  God has blessed me.

So there is is folks,  I have a Master in Science, in Pedagogy.  Graduation pictures to come soon.

Kids???

Aloha to all of my friends and family and who ever else if reading my Blog.

I am writing to ask you about kids. Whether you have them or not I would still love to hear your answer.

1. When do you think a married couple should have them?
2. Is it better early in the relationship, or later?
3. Do you raise them like you were raised, or how your spouse was raised?
4. Do you spank your kids like you were spanked?
5. Allowance? (what is that, I had a JOB!

Thank you. I was just curious on what my friends, family and people in general think.twins?
