Vacation Tiime

Becky and I just got back from a seven day trip to Gatlinburg, Tenn. or commonly referred to as the great Smoky Mountains. We enjoyed our trip greatly, as it is always wonderful for me to get away. We went with Becky's mom and dad, the Droke's. I wish I could put all my pictures here online, but that would take too long. - Jason

twitter

I (Jason) have a twitter site if you care to follow me there: twitter.com/jasonasykes. I actually post there multiple times a day.

Are you ready to give up?

Are you ready to give up on checking in on our blogging? Don't lose the desire to keep checking our blog. If you lose the desire, I'm afraid we will too...

BTW- all is well with our little family!

Black Friday Shopping II

This was my second year to hit Walmart in Hohenwald on Black Friday. If you remember last year, I hit it big and got a huge LCD TV for a steal of a deal- third in line at 3:30. This year was a little less competitive- I was mainly going for Becky and her list. I did however manage to score a Magnavox Blue-Ray DVD player (see pic at left) for $75- regularly $130. Needless to say I have become excited of my purchases! - Jason

Mornings in Hohenwald

Becky and I came up to Hohenwald for the weekend. Actually, I will go home today (Sunday) and Becky and Jacob will stay a few more days. It's always nice to come to the country (as I call it). It is very peaceful and always enjoyable. We got to see the progress on Barry and Jennifer new house since they have been remodeling. The morning here is really great, sunny but cool. I can hear the cows in the background. Jacob likes hearing the cows- he will point and say, "whas tat" (what's that).

Other Ways to Connect

Yeah, well, so, ok, you know, of course.... What can I say, we haven't done such a great job of keeping up with the family blog. We have been spending more time on facebook (who hasn't). You can follow us on facebook. If you are a fan of twitter- you can follow me there: www.twitter.com/jasonasykes.

Mayor Pro Tem Sykes

I recently had the chance to tour Memphis City Hall and visit with the new Mayor Pro Tem Lowery (until a special election can be held). I was able to tour his office suite and Mayor Lowery even let me sit behind his desk. It was pretty cool to sit behind the desk of the 19th largest city in the U.S. The view outside his office is amazing- it overlooks the Miss River, Mud Island, The Pyramid and the downtown area.
