Get a tattoo for charity

Last Saturday night Julie and i were watching the news when we saw a news story about a tattoo shop in Elkhart that was donating all the proceeds from Sundays tattoos to Church Community Services Church Community Services is a faith-based interdenominational non-profit agency that assists people in crisis and empowers them to move out of poverty. Services include a client choice food pantry, emergency financial assistance, plus our Soup of Success Job and Life Skills Training Program which empowers women in poverty to make positive changes toward greater self-sufficiency. We also offer public education on poverty. We had been looking to get a tattoo with our kids names on it or something. So we both said to each other. That is an awesome idea. I have never seen a tattoo shop do that. That is about as far as it went.

Sunday we were sitting around watching a movie with our kids, I looked at Julie and said. "Man that is tempting. I really want to go get a tattoo". I have three other tattoos Julie has none. So we started talking and decided to do it. We called Julie's sister to come watch the boys. we just told her. we were going out for lunch or something. The boys didnt even know.

So we started designing what we wanted and came up with two stars and a heart with each initial in it. We both got it on our ankle.

The shop raised about $1,500 that day for Church Community Services. How amazing is that.

Below are some news stories on the shop

10! Years Of Geocaching

This weekend Geocaching.com celebrates 10 years of geocaching.Wow it has really been 10 years. Personally we have been caching for 7 Years. We started on July 28th 2003 (my birthday)

Looking back it has been a blast we have gone places that we would have never gone if it were not for geocaching. It has been a blast watching the kids find stuff and trade stuff, Even placing "caches" around the house with what ever they can get their hands on. Wow not only do i geocache but i spend a good amount of time talking about caching on the geocaching podcast. It is because of geocaching that I have this fun hobby of podcasting.

We started caching in 2003 and we are not the fastest cachers. As of this point we only have 444 finds. But then again we do it for the hunt and the memories not JUST the numbers.

This weekend we are attending a geocaching event and it should be a blast. There are several geocaching events across the US this weekend celebrating that 10 years ago President Clinton turned off selective availability and our GPSr went from 100m to 10 m in accuracy.
