Bad Blogger

I've fallen into the category of a bad blogger. A good one would update this thing once in awhile. I tell myself that soon things will slow down, but I feel like we're like that cartoon snowball racing down the hill getting bigger and faster with every second! But, it's always a point to enjoy life, and I'm just poor at getting this thing updated.

Today, was another one of those small world days. The past few weeks in church I've been seeing this could that I feel like I know that I know, or at least I thought he looked incredibly familiar. Recently, we've had some changes to the praise team, and today, he and his wife were the leaders. Heather leaned over and whispered something to me about this couple, and said, "Nate and his wife......" At that point, it clicked. Everything aligned. Nate! I rewound about 6 years to a small apartment in Little Canada, MN. 2555 Park Street was the location, actually, and it was his apartment. The reason I can remember the suburb town apartment is because it was also my address. I'd lived there too with my buddy Bryan. Nate was the third roommate there. We each had our own rooms, but Nate often worked from 2am on into the day, and then was sleeping when I'd be around with Bryan. But, nonetheless, we'd been roommates. Now, here we were attending the same church in Mitchell, SD. After the service I went up and said, "Nate...." He looked at me with that familiar look and said, "Tyler....no way!" It was a great moment. He told me that he shared with our pastor that he thought that he recognized me and that he did think I was a guy he lived with many years ago. We were both thinking the same thing, but today was the first time we talked and put it all together.

This afternoon, i got the chance to go and catch some softball pitching. I guess, the theory was to attempt to catch some softball pitching. It was a fun afternoon though playing softball with Akina. It reminded me of the first summer they came from Texas to visit and we played catch. Now, it's almost summer time, and I'll maybe venture in on the Pro-Bowl. Saw a Facebook post today that thought the pro-bowl would be more interesting if one team was nothing by kickers. I think that would be a good time....
