Our beautiful Peanut.

This picture amazes me. I love how our baby's hands and legs are crossed. Very cute. The baby is an inch and a half in this picture.

Meet our Baby

What an amazing experience. Tomorrow we get to see our child again. It's grow quite a bit. We are at week 10 and in 10 more weeks we get to see a 3d ultrasound and find out the sex. Baby Cherry now has fingers and toes, and ears. God is so amazing.

Blogging all Crazy and Stuff

 

So have you heard?  I'm going to be a dad?  Pretty Crazy I think.  Today we saw the heart beat.  I'll post some pictures when I get them scanned in.  Amazing that God creates these little body parts inside another human.  Fingernails! Unreal! 

Beautiful Snow today!

I love it when it snows in Roseburg. It was such a warm day, just under 32, no wind, huge flakes and then blue skies.

Ignorance is bliss... ussually.

I'm not a very smart man, but I'm successful and happy. I don't need to be rich, I just want to pay the bills, own a jeep and be great at what I do. I'd like to be healthy and, as I age, I'm learning I need to be more aware of my body and the issues pertaining to men in America. These are issues where I cannot afford to be ignorant. I say America because we live in a country of steroids, pesticides, super-sized, over-eating, salt, sugar, caffeine and a lot of busy busy busy.....and I am no exception.

Cristina and I bought bikes, but that wont help us much until spring. I'm in need of a good type of exercise for the winter, however, I'm learning that my issues might go beyond fat.

Embarrassingly, my stomach has been growing quicker than any other part of me. My pants are tighter and my shirts are shorter. I see some fat but I know that's not all I'm dealing with. My back gets sore after eating and my stomach is hard and bloated.

So..... Cristina and I are making some changes. We've be doing some research on intestine and colon cleanses. We've decided to start a program called Colonix by Dr. Natura. I'm not promoting this product, but I will be writing my journey in this blog and hopefully will be able to recommend it. If you have a weak stomach, I warn you, my blog may get graphic.

After reading many testimonies (many of them on coloncleansingforum.com), I'm excited to see if this program will give me better breath, less gas, a smaller stomach, regular BMs and to be parasite free, oh my. Grossed out yet? You should read National Geographic's article on parasites and how common and dangerous they are.... Grossed out doesn't nearly explain how you will feel. With a lot of overseas travel, both Cristina and I are assuming the worst and expect to see some gruesome treasures.

Meet the new and cleaner Matthew Cherry. Whoot whoot!

Feel free to leave a comment if you have questions or have experience with this.

Matthew The Hobo

Meet my Facebook Hobo. This is what I would look like if I was a hobo. I watched a report on a family that travels and begs for money (I wont say homeless), and they make on average, $300 a day. A man in Eugene who begs for money makes an average of $200 a day. So Cristina and I are thinking of maybe becoming beggars. If your making this kind of money, you are either not homeless or you just love that lifestyle, there is no need anymore.

Thanks Mom!

Matthew Cherry has been quite limited in his productivity due to slow loading, terrible processing and overall slowness. This will all change this week as my mom's Christmas present is a collection of parts to upgrade my system.

This is going to be an unbelievable system upgrade allowing me to run multiple programs, use newer software and look really good.

All I can say is WHAAAAAHOOOOOOOEY!!!!!!!

Thanks Mom!

the hope of a new ucc

Inerseshen is in negotiations with Umpqua Community College on a new over-all design. This would include a new flash site, HTML site, printed materials, promotional items, and so on and so forth. This is a concept for a patch. Essentially we compacted the full logo into a small version for stickers, patches, team identity.

Hitting the mountains this weekend.

here are some shots of the mountain Trav and I are climbing this weekend. We are climbing to base camp Friday and hitting the summit of the middle mountain on Saturday. I'll let you know how it goes. This weekend is my 10 year reunion. That's weird. I can't go because i have no passport so I thought I'd do this instead. I'm not sure I'd go anyways. Highschool was an awkward and painful time. There are a few old friends i would absolutely love to visit with. But I think we will hit Vancouver and the Island soon.

Why don't I blog more often?

Because I like to put pics with my posts and I can't ever find the camera. There you have it... thats it.

So here it is. I want to build a fence around my new home. It's funny that I now love grass, plants, fences, walls, building, houses, the housing market, equity. These things did not matter to me a year ago.

One neighbor brought home an ugly blue bulging swimming pool, and put it in their front yard. Not only is it an eye sore to the neighborhood, it's, unknown to them, 3' on my property. They have literally 2-3' weeds and no grass. The other side mowed their lawn on the lowest setting and then let it die. This kills me. Why? I don't know, maybe because i put a lot of work on my home and it seems a shame. At least the neighbor across the way, Chris, cares about his home too.

Plane tickets are ridiculous! It's going to cost us $1100 just to fly to MN for 10 days! Again I say ridiculous!... and yet, worth every penny.

I love my job. I love being a business owner and having the freedom to improve and change without an irrational wall. It amazes me that most employees don't care about the company they work for, only the check, however, when that rare person comes in and truly has the companies best interest in mind, no one hears their ideas, because it would involve change.

My marriage is fresh. Cristina and I went on a wonderful Marriage conference, and although it ripped us to shreds and surfaced all kinds of hurt and confusion, it was needed and incredible. The question is now "why don't we put more time and training into the greatest investment we'll ever make?"
I learned my integrity, duty, obligation and honor as a husband has nothing to do with the performance of my wife. She isn't at all, but if she was vicious, it wouldn't matter as far as my role as a husband.
I learned I need to fight for the dignity of my wife in all situations. Especially when I'm the offender.
I learned that my commitment to Cristina has everything to do with my covenant with God and displaying the love and grace God has for his church though our marriage.
I learned that my time with Cristina should be an act of worship. It should include thanking God for her, and understanding how powerful of a gift she is, absolutely from God, and in doing so I honor her with my actions.
I learned that it's now time to get off the computer and go to bed.
