The Weekly Photo Challenge: Challenge #22



The Weekly Photo Challenge: Challenge #22
This week's photo challenge was a non-wedding-related something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. I did not know exactly what to do for the something borrowed, but I am lucky enough to have an awesome little nephew J-man that was willing to wear my baseball hat for it :). I only have a point-and-shoot camera, and I didn't do any editing (mostly cuz I'm unsure how, partly cuz I am too lazy to figure out how), but I enjoyed having to be a little creative in this, my first photo challenge. Thanks, Em, for introducing me to this, and I will hopefully be a little more faithful with keeping up with it than Dad was.

Moved In

Well, I have moved in with my sister, Emily, my bro-in-law, Jon, and my nephew, Josiah. And by moved in, I mean I brought enough clothes to rotate about every 3 days, a toothbrush, and...that's about it for now. But I am new to the blogging world, introduced to it by my sister. I am excited to be in Milwaukee, the land of the great oyster cracker. I look forward to doing something interesting enough to blog about, all I have right now is baseball, which is plenty interesting to me, but maybe not you guys. I'm going to write about it anyway.
I play for the Branch Blaze, a semi-pro team near Manitowoc. I also played all 4 years my college eligibility would allow, and finally got all-conference this past year :) I am a pitcher, and I also play shortstop. We are playing well for now, and I am batting .384 so far this year, which is about .100 higher than last year :-p Alright, enough about baseball, back to the other interesting events of my life...
One of my softball teammates got married Saturday, and I went to the reception, finding myself stag. I felt like a wedding crasher, minus the hooking up with someone and not getting invited part. Other than that, I started my job packing semis for FedEx today. I put my Tetris skills to the test, but not so much my degree in Psychology. Boxes don't need much counseling. I might if I'm in this job too long, though. Ugh.
K, that's all for now, I am probably going to join my sister's photo challenge that she does weekly, so hopefully I can at least put up a couple respectable pictures. She said most of the people in it are women, so they wanted a guy's point of view. But I took a masculinity/femininity test on facebook, and I was ruled to be 57% feminine, so I'm not sure it will be much different.
Until we meet again, or if we haven't met, until we meet,
