I plan on losing weight this summer, and I plan and doing it to help others. I will be building a website around this lose-weight-for-charity concept, but I need help on deciding which name to go with. Please give me your input.
If this idea sounds interesting and you want to know more, want to help, or want to lose weight with me, send me an email or get in touch with me on Facebook or Twitter. I plan on using the proceeds to benefit Christian and Stephanie Nielson and Magaret Manning. I haven’t talked to either of them about this yet, but I will soon, once I get the ball rolling.

Category: Announcements, FriendsI chanced upon this video of Richelle Talbot singing on YouTube last night. It is from October, but I never new she did this. For those of you that don’t know, my friend Richelle has an amazing voice. You are about to find out for yourself. She recorded this cover of Held by Natalie Grant in her dad’s studio and dedicated it to Christian and Stephanie Nielson, who are survivors of a terrible private plane accident last August. Christian and Stephanie miraculously survived, but were severely injured. Stephanie, who got the worst of it, received burns on about 80% of her body. They have both recovered, and are trying to return back to normal life. However, the costs of months of hospitalization and dozens of surgical procedures along with other things have been insurmountable. If you would like to help them, find out how by visiting the Nie Recovery website. Also, there is a benefit concert being held Saturday, April 18th at 7:00pm in the Gilbert High School Auditorium (Gilbert, AZ). Christian and Stephanie are cousins to Penny, so we would love it if you helped them.
Anyways, Richelle is awesome. Check out this YouTube video of her singing.

The new Ninjormon video (#2) was released recently. For those unfamiliar with the Ninjormon: The Ninjormon is a parody on the character from Ask a Ninja. It is made by my brother-in-law, Jared Nielson, and his friend, Ted Sowards. The humor is mostly for Mormons, but if you know anything about them or their interesting and unique cultural and social mannerisms, you may find the Ninjormon entertaining. Check it out the Ninjormon videos on YouTube or from the Ninjormon website.
