Boise and a Baby!

I have finished my term at the ever so exhausting Amazon.com call center and have come to Boise to vacate away from the ever so dreadful tri-cities of Washington. It is so good to see friends and family after being gone for the holidays. Joel, my brother, was able to take leave from his duties in Iraq to come home to Boise for a very big event in his life as well. Please help me to welcome into the family Sierra Grace Biggs, 7lbs 14oz, born on January 28th, 2010! She is one healthy, happy, beautiful baby and I am one proud uncle to say the least. Emma, who is going to be two at the end of February is now a very excited big sister who is growing so fast I am amazed.

Some how two weeks went by very, very fast and has not provided me enough time to see all my friends who reside there. I was able to see some of them though and the tie spent with them is cherished and memorable. I had planned on training MMA extensively while there, however since spending time with family was my main reason for the visit I did not train more than a day or two of my visit. I was able to get a tattoo while in boise to begin finishing my sleeve on my right arm, so I am grateful for that and hoping to have everything finished by the end of spring! Seeing as how all of my tattoo's are biblical, I got some angels fighting demons to represent spiritual warfare on my forearm. The image is from a famous drawing by Albrecht Durer. you may be asking me or yourself who this man is, and my answer for you is Google it! Here is an image of what i got tattooed on my arm...

As I find myself back in Washington I am constantly questioning what I am doing here and why cant I seem to feel God's presence in my life here either. For several months my spiritual life has been very bleak and dark. Who am I and what is my purpose? I am in need of a desperate change and it shall come soon I believe. Until next time, hopefully with news of my future existence and inhabitance, Blessings...

Welcoming in the New Year...

Wow, it has been five months since my last post and sadly not much has happened in my life since my last post. Hopefully this year will bring me some adventures, stories, and most of all happiness. So far all i have got was sick, since i woke up Saturday morning i have been struck with strep throat somehow. Since my last post, I have found a job working for the inglorious Amazon.com as a customer service representative... however, this position is only seasonal work and my job may be coming to a close sometime soon. For those of you who are familiar with the reading device known as a Kindle, that is my specialty. I help troubleshoot problems that the 70-90 year old people who buy these have. More often than not, many of the people buy the device with no knowledge of technology or what WIFI means, and worse than that, they don't even take the time to read the owners manual that is provided on the Kindle! While I await my seasonal position to end I am now looking for more permanent employment here in Washington.

I have had a few different looks since moving here to the Tri-Cities, Washington, here are a few pics:

I grew a mustache for halloween...

I went for a visit to Boise to see Emma and Shelly in November... Joel is over in the middle east pushing papers at a desk for the government. Miss my brother quite a bit...

I have been representing with some red and brown hair and the mohawk with a rat tail at the bottom with the holiday beard completing the look...

I have been keeping busy outside of work by going to the gym almost every day to workout on the weights or to train MMA with some of the locals, though they do not compare to Combat Fitness instructors in Boise. Every now and then I will venture over to Richland to go to the skatepark and skate shop to chat with folks and enjoy myself. Back in October I took a trip up north to Spokane to go see a concert, which was great, until the next day when i had lost my voice from yelling and singing at the concert. totally worth it if you ask me! Just as before, i still watch the fights, (UFC) thankfully i met a guy named Russell who has a sweet place right by me and also has a 55 inch flat screen to host the fights. Hopefully I will be able to make a trip to Boise in the end of January/ early February. fingers crossed on coming... cause life here in Washington is not all it was hoped to be, especially in the realm of finding a church to go to that I can truly learn from and look forward to going to. Please pray that God would find I place that is able to meet my needs, that I would look to Him to meet my needs.

Hopefully this year I will get a post in on the blog every month instead of taking a five month hiatus... big thanks to all my readers... Happy New Year!
