My Top Five Best Puns About Sarah

I enjoy puns, I have made a lot of puns about my fiance Sarah Card, I reuse them and they get funnier and funnier with age.Here are my 5 favorite puns about her name.

1. Deal with it Card. I use this one a lot, I have to be careful not to use it when she is actually upset though.

2. Que Sarah, Sarah. This one is hard to bring up in conversation but well worth it when it is able to be used.

3. What a nice birthday Card. I use this one on Sarah's birthday and I think it gets funnier every year.

4. You are well 'suited' for the job. Again hard to use but delightful.

5. You need to be dealt with. I usually make this one after Sarah has made a pun. She groans but I think it's hilarious.

I have made so many more over the 3 and a half years we have been together and I have no intention of stopping... I really have know idea how she deals with me. I'm surprised she hasn't clubbed me, she could bury me with a spade, but she has a wonderful heart and she let me put a diamond on her finger.

All the best

How to Woo the Ladies (A Beginners Guide)

I have been in a relationship with the incredible Miss Sarah for over three years now, this seems like a lot of time to figure out how to be good at a relationship but I still manage to mess things up, I doubt I will ever master this art but I will pass along the little pieces I have picked up in my time. Here is my contribution to future generations of males.

1. She is a lady. Treat her as such. - This is not meant to be sexist or anything like that but guys be gentlemen. Open doors for her, don't swear or be crude in front of her. This will make her feel special and it is a good habit to be in. Politeness is key.

2. You don't need to fix all her problems - So she had a rough day at school or work and she is telling you about it, don't hop in with advice and things that you can do for her. Let her talk about it. Sometimes having someone listen is all she needs.

Why men shouldn't give advice

3. Little things mean a lot - Pick her up something, it doesn't have to be a huge present, just something to remind her that you are thinking of her. Make her a nice dinner for no reason. She will feel so special.

4. Tell her she is beautiful - Tell her when she looks pretty, pick out something about her that looks nice and tell her. Complementing her on her hair can make all the difference. Remind her how pretty she is.

5. Better yourself for her  - I don't mean changing your personality to suit her better I mean better yourself. Strive to be the best you can be, not just for her but for yourself and possibly one day your children. A relationship should strengthen both members, don't become complacent and lazy, work towards becoming a better man.

Blog Wars 2:The Future of Carrots

A largely controversial topic, the future of carrots has been debated by the great minds for generations. In the beginning there where many different colours of carrots, greens, whites and purples, but carrots are mainly grown in Holland and through hundreds of years of selective breeding they managed to have all carrots the bright orange that they are today. Now what? These long pointy vegetables could be used for multiple purposes, as a weapon it has many possibility because, lets face it, no one likes a carrot jammed up their nostril, it could also be used as a decoration do to its bright colour, the Christmas tree signifies life, the Victoria day carrot represents know one knowing whats going on but getting an extra day off work. People could hang them from their piercings like ornaments, they can also be used as a very dull orange marker. The potential of carrots is limitless, their uses abundant but they will most likely stay the same, that weird vegetable that you eat. What a waste.

How Camp Changed My Life

Camp has changed my life, I can guarantee that if it were not for Camp Cherith I would not be where I am today. When I was 14 my parents decided to send me and my brother to camp, I was terrified. At 14 I was crying and telling them not to make me go. I went for that first week and had a lot of fun, I enjoyed being able to talk to my counselors about the bible and not be waved off as too young to understand it. At the end of the week my leader suggested that I do the CILT program, which stands for Campers In Leadership Training. I decided to do it, coming into CILT I was a very shy, cautious teenager, after the first couple days once I got to know everyone I really came out of my shell. CILT let me learn skills I needed to be a great counselor but it also taught me important life skills such as being independent and different ways to study the bible. I went into CILT a shy guy teen and came out a confident young man. I would consider CILT as being a huge shaping point in my life. I met great friends who I still keep in touch with quite a bit, I learned great leadership techniques which have not only helped me at camp but in other parts of my life. I think CILT was the place where I began learning about balance, about balancing work and play, realizing both are important. I graduated CILT four years ago and I still consider it to have been one of the biggest shapers of my character. This year I was asked to be the CILT director and teach the new batch of CILT's an opportunity that both thrills and terrifies me. I hope that I can help these teenagers become new, productive members at Cherith and help guide them in their faith.

Cheers!

My Favorite Tools Round 2

Hello all, thanks for checking me out, here are a couple more of my favorite tools. These are some tools that are often forgotten about that make all the difference.

• My Tool Belt: I have a run of the mill Mastercraft tool belt, now before you start scoffing and telling me that Mastercraft is junk let me just tell you that this tool belt has come in handy so many times, it can handle being bumped around and doesn't fall apart. At 40$ it is a bit pricey but it is on sale quite a bit. 

• My Knife: I actually picked up my knife at Walmart because I needed one quick, it turned out to be a winner, it holds extra blades inside so if you need one they're right there. It is very sharp and will last you a long time

• My Drywall Saw: I was surprised how often I needed this tool and I still need it quite a bit, it isn't expensive but if you are not planning on becoming a professional drywaller anytime soon it is all you need.

• My Pen Voltage Tester: This little device is amazing, I can't count how many times it has stopped me from getting buzzed. I wouldn't trust it too too much but for household wiring it is really handy, it also turns itself off after a while which is really helpful.  

Hope you enjoyed this,

Cheers!
