There are three case companies that I absolutely trust and can count on every time.
Now, don't get me wrong, there is a slew of companies out there making awesome cases, better cases, crazy cases. But these are the guys that make quality stuff, at solid prices, every time. And, these are the guys that I went to for my own stuff. It's easy to say R&R is the best, but I can't afford them. It's a BMW. not fare.
--------------------------------------------
Rock Hard Cases These guys do the custom, fully legit ATA road cases. Can't use them all the time, don't need to use them for the generic stuff, but there they are. Very solid, nice guys. Most importantly though is their craftsmanship. TOP NOTCH. love em.
--------------------------------------------
AudioPile EWI Tourcases Very realistically affordable, great variety of generic stuff, all day every day. No custom fees, they just keep a stock of stock cases. See what I did there? :) It's Mark and Liz, a very lovely couple from Washington state who have always been more than pleasant to work with. They're my secret weapon.
--------------------------------------------
Pelican Products The cops use em. I swear they must make a 1000 different cases, and if you can't find one, they do customs. Beautiful foam work on the inside of these guys. Extremely lightweight, nice rolling luggage wheels. These are the guys for the individual, "let's foam it out" pieces of gear that are critical. They pick up the slack from the other two guys and really get the smaller, detailed items protected. Quality prices, extremely quality gear.

That's cases! Sorry I'm a nerd but I felt like that was fully relevant information for the blog readers. :)
Laura just left to go back to Benton, and sitting here going through some photos we took this weekend, I thought I'd post them for the three of you to see. :) Is there a fourth now?
Seriously though, I thought to myself, "the blog isn't Facebook, people can Google that sucker, should you upload anything you feel like?" The answer was yes.
My life's an open book. Just nobody reads it, so I guess I can put whatever I want. :D
Anyways, here they are. Click on the link under the photo to see the others, I believe there are six more.
The ones of her we grabbed in about 4mins on the front porch (I don't know if you where here this weekend but it was HOT). (By here I mean America)
The ones of us together mom took for us in about 8mins at Bogle Park here in town.
Again nothing fancy or special, I just REALLY enjoy taking pictures, especially relaxed quick ones, especially of her, especially.
There now that that's off my chest. Seriously? Two weeks until classes begin. Hard to swallow.
But that's nothing, here's what's really blowing my mind. This will be my 5th semester at college. 5 of 8. What? And, the 8th will be a full-semester internship, so really this is 5 of 7 for classes. WOW. Say it with me. WOW.
Anyways here's my class schedule. I've always kept a good track record of uploading this to the blog. :)
I'd post Laura's schedule too, she's the one with the real workload, but I try not to make a habit of randomly posting other's private information on the world wide web for all to see.
Let me just sum it up for you...
Mondays 8am Tuesdays 10am Wednesdays 6am-4pm (that's one class) Thursdays 6am-4pm (AGAIN) Fridays... OFF
So I was like, "aw well that'll be nice," turns out somebody told her, "if you didn't have Friday's off you couldn't pass the weekly tests, because studying all weekend wouldn't be enough."
I'm here at FBC Bentonville's Children's Camp 2010. This year's theme is "iAm," teaching the kids all about who our God is.
Having a spectacular time here with some of my best friends in the world.

Jarrod Anderson - Teacher/Leader
One of the favorite parts of camp every year is playing "Jungle Pong" with my friends. We've got a huge space here in the Worship Center with stained concrete floors.
Jungle Pong is similar to Ping Pong. We're playing with about 7 people. Each person has a number to know when to hit the ball. It doesn't matter how or where you hit the ball, the only rules are that it must bounce once on the floor before returning to the table. Check it out:
:) Like I said, having a wonderful time here with my friends.
