He is Risen!

My roommate, Jacob (pictured next to me), had his 22nd birthday on March 4th! His momma had some big signage placed in our front yard to scream to our neighbors that we had a birthday boy in our midst!

My good friends Emily and Clint (and his brother Clay) leading praise and worship on Sunday morning. (Also featuring Stephen in the back manning the soundboard.)

Volunteering at the COVID Vaccine Drive-Thru at Fair Park! I was part of 'observation,' where you made sure people filtered into an orderly line to be monitored for 15 minutes after getting the vaccine to ensure that they're okay to drive again. 

Me, Brandon, and Joey took a road trip to NE Oklahoma to check out a camp to use for SICM (Student Institute of Campus Ministry) this summer. Unfortunately we did not move forwards with this camp, but I took a picture with a stuffed buffalo at a gas station along the way!

Me and Kylie got our first vaccination at the same time! After volunteering there for a day and a half (15 hours), I was eligible to be vaccinated! At this point, I've gotten both of my vaccination shots already. Praise God! Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of COVID...

Camp Eagle down near San Antonio. This is the camp we chose to move forwards with for SICM. It's incredibly beautiful and will actually be my first time at SICM. I'm so excited 1. to attend for the first time and 2. to even be able to offer this to our students! Last year's SICM trip had to be canceled, but this year we will be bringing a record number of students!

The San Antonio River Walk. It was my first time in San Antonio and it is a beautiful city! Though I'm thankful to live in Dallas.

This was also taken at the River Walk at night.

There were two majestic bald eagles at the San Antonio zoo. A little log cabin in the back and a small American flag waving made for a good photo.

On Easter Sunday, our church had a petting zoo! This is me and my kid.

During the filming of the illusionist for Showcase, we found a bird in the church. We thought it might be his bird for an act, but quickly realized that a rogue bird had just flown into the church and gotten trapped in a room! We tired it out and were able to capture it to release it outside.

Why are bananas curved in shape?

My mom celebrated her birthday this month and we all got on a video chat! (Peep the Zoom call in the corner.) My niece loves to clap with other people and so she was having a grand time. You'll have to go back (quite) a few blog posts to find when I first got my expander put in... who knew it would take this long for me to get my braces off?? Some friends told me that the braces were a part of my identity, so without them, what am I?! But seriously, eating is SO EASY again. Earlier this month, I got to go on a short trip to Boston with Steph and another couple. It was my first time (that I can remember) going to the East Coast. Being someone who grew up on the West Coast (and even now in Dallas), there has never been a rich history to the places I've been. But it was incredible getting to see the sights and walk The Freedom Trail. Going into Paul Revere's house definitely brought out the kid in me who loved him growing up, simply because we had the same name. Anyways, this ...

September 2024

It was my grandpa's 90th birthday and so we all surprised him by visiting Taiwan. The last time we all came back as a family to Taiwan was for his 70th birthday, 20 years ago. Here is a picture of all of us, including my cousins, and our significant others, and children (if applicable). I am so thankful for the opportunity to go back and spend time with my family! Here's the most readily available picture I could find of us, probably around 20 years ago, in my grandparent's house. The angle of the picture is close to the same, the flooring is the same. Not much has changed.

Showcase is February 26

  Showcase is in 1 week! If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, you can do so at anyfocus.org/showcase. All proceeds from the show go towards sending our prospective student leaders to SICM, a conference that trains and equips them to think pastorally on their campuses. This is a video of me and my family hanging out on Zoom on New Years Eve and celebrating the New Year for the West Coast (2 am in Texas). I decided not to attend any New Year's celebrations in person (and isolated myself for almost a week beforehand) in an attempt to not contract COVID before our staff retreat... I tested positive later that day. Though I tested positive for COVID on New Years, Winter Camp was a few weeks after which gave me time to recover. We flew in Rikk Watts to speak about the historicity of the Bible. It was nice to have some semblance of normalcy, as we had canceled Winter Camp the previous year. It was a lot of work, but definitely worth it to see the students bonding and having a good ...
