Merry Christmas! and happy birthday to the www.barnezy.com 2.0!

Merry Christmas!  What a lazy day!  I’ve been sitting around all day enjoying doing absolutely nothing!  It’s been a great time spending time with my family and just taking it easy for a change.  We’ve opened lots of presents and eaten tons of good food!  I’ve really missed being back home and this has been a great vacation.  My shoulder is healing up nicely from last week’s shoulder surgery as well.    I can almost lift my arm over my head and I get better every day.  Ali and I got some money to put towards our Hawaii trip so we’re super-excited about how much fun we’ll be having in three short months.  Here’s a few photos from this weekend…

Merry Christmas!

Well it’s also been one year to the day that my Mother-in-law and Grandmother-in-law teamed up to get me one heck of a Christmas present.  They both chipped in to buy me the wordpress blogging software ProPhoto so that I could rebuild my aging and nearly-abandoned website from the ground up.  With this new software I was able to rebuild my website in a much more user-friendly format.  The photos and videos in particular became much faster to view.  The video quality went from youtube quality at best to 720p HD video.  Blogs and updates were incredibly hard with my old website.  I had made one update the past 1.5 years I had my old website.  This year I have made 80 blog posts to the date!  I’m so thankful to have such a nice site to showcase some of my work on.  I hope that I’ll always have time to continue to add as my experiences grow.  Apparently my website is actually worth something as well.  Due to the high traffic I see daily thanks largely in-part to our now famous proposal video, my website is worth $8,600.00.  Of course I would never sell it, but it’s really nice to know that people visit regularly!  I really do appreciate all of the wonderful comments all of you have left on my website.  It’s so nice to know that some of the virtues my wife and I strive for are still held by so many others!  The next few days will be a whirlwind but our new years plans to be quite interesting this year.  Check back on New Years Day for  an update on all of the crazy things happening!  We hope you all enjoyed Christmas and hope that you were able to spend it with those whom you love.  It is never my point to rub religion in the face of anyone, but I do hope that Christ is honored in the manner in which you celebrate Christmas each year. -Barnezy-
