27 Things for 27 Years
This is my third year in a row doing this on my birthday. It may be my last.
1. I turned 27 today.
2. This is already shaping up to be a good year.
3. I normally get nervous when my birthday comes around.
4. I realize how quick life is starting to go.
5. I haven’t been on Xanga for a few weeks.
6. Life has been pretty busy lately.
7. We recently moved to a new home.
8. The previous owners left it messy, and they had a lot of cats.
9. I think you can see where I am going with this.
10. We had to rip up about 80% of the carpet in the house.
11. We replaced much of it with hardwood laminate flooring.
12. Because of this, I am learning many new life skills.
13. I am very blessed.
14. The house we are moving into is going to function as a ministry house.
15. We will have house church, host bible studies, and hold common meals at our home.
16. My wife and I have two roommates that will live with us.
17. One is getting married in October.
18. We are really about to have three room mates.
19. It sounds weird that a married couple would live like this.
20. We happen to enjoy it.
21. I’m still really sad about what’s happening with Xanga.
22. Assuming it goes to a paysite, I won’t be returning.
23. I’ve made a WordPress blog in preparation, the details of which are coming soon.
24. Xanga has been here for me through a lot. My break up and getting back together with Tesia, other highs and lows, my engagement and marriage… It could go on and on…
25. I’ve always thought I would announce the birth of my first child on Xanga.
26. Monday, Tesia took a pregnancy test.
27. I’m going to be a daddy for the first time

HUGS!!!

Aww, yay! Congratulations!
Happy Birthday and congratulations on your upcoming child
If xanga 2.0 meets its goal you have a subscription waiting from me. I feel bad about the promise I made you and did not keep. I did know you are busy and did move. Good luck with your ministry and your life as a father.
oh my goodness gracious. Happy Birthday AND congratulations!! i hope you open a wordpress account, I’d still like to keep up with you.
Congratulations. It’s going to be such a long and amazing journey. I wish the both of you the best x
Congratulations!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! And CONGRATULATIONS NEW DADDY!!! You are a blessed man!! I don’t know if there is anything strange about having 3 roommates or not. If it serves Christ, who cares what anyone else thinks.
OMG! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha… missed you around here the last few weeks.

Congratulations!
Congradulations God bless you!!
huzzah ! congrats, dude.
For what it’s worth, a) congrats, mang! (that’s not a typo, but how I for some reason pronounce ‘man’ in real life), and b) you were one of two people who had a giant influence on how I view the “opposition.” You and TGB kept me in check every time I thought of painting “all Christians” with one label or another. I hope I can figure out how to make WordPress more of a community kind of thing so I don’t miss out on your posts.
Final note, have you considered naming your child Krisko? I’ve been told my name sound girly, so I guess it’s good if it ends up being a boy or a girl.
Congrats!
Congratulations!
Congrats man!!! Enjoy!!
