2007 What Michele and I crave, rave

As the year ends, Michele and I can't help but share some of the favorite things of 2007 that we've encountered.

We urge you to check out our vices, raves and craves.











NAPERVILLE LIBRARY - Been over a decade since I visited a libary, and now both Michele and I are hooked! We don't pay for cable so we check out FREE DVDs - History Channel to National Geographic channel. We've learned more not watching sugar TV. My morning commute ended up being a throughly enjoyable experience with FREE audiobooks on CD. A library - cheap, educational and it's like being a kid again!

MARK DRISCOLL - Pastor at Mars Hill Church. Favorite preacher, he's funny, culturally relevant and such a blessing in light of our faith. Michele half-kidded we should move to Seattle to help out the church. Yup, he's that used by God in our lives.

BEN AND JERRY'S YOGURT - Our sin, weakness, craving. Ben and Jerry's yogurt - Half baked and chocolate brownie. Must have it in the summer - every week. We don't share either...get your flippin' own!

EBAY - we sold items that we didn't need, found great prices on gifts for family, friends and ourselves. It's addicting to win a bid, but we save oodles of cash finding products up to 80% off. Yeh, your gift from us might be from there, but you DO FEEL GOOD we save money don't ya?

ING - We save money, and stretch our money and investments with Ing. Great customer service, secure website and financial transaction and how could you not love companies named after a fruit?

APPLE Macbook - Ok you Mac-haters, we don't care. We love it, it runs both XP and OSX and is cute, compact, fast and best of all - it works!!! Neener, neener. My wife is a Machead!

Whole FOODS - Must have daily life shopping! Michele and my favorite place to shop. The best food store in the U.S. bar none. High quality food on a scale and selection you only dreamt about. The ready to buy food bar is yummy, but pricey. We won't be in any city WITHOUT it.

ELILIE KRIEGER - One of our favorite FOOD NETWORK shows, Healthy Living with Ellie Krieger. She whips up healthy recipes and has a very pleasant personality.
