Wow how time flies!!!

Oh my goodness!! So sorry for the long delay. I have had some provider issues and just not able to find time to devote to the blog lately. For those of you who dont know me, I have embarked on a new career path. I was able to find another company where it seems like more of a family than a job. So we did go on a cruise to the Bahamas, (I didn't even get off the boat) and Half Moon Cay. We did have a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful. Ya boy Sarge is a tech nut and I love new gadgets!! The wife just got me a Blackberry Pearl!!! This thing is awesome!! (Once I figure it all out!!) HAHAHAHAHA!!! My daughter is doing well in school and we are currently trying to find a new family member since we lost Calle. Another one wont take her place but we all miss having a dog in house. The blog may be moving soon so I will keep you updated and I promise to do a better job at updating!!!

Farewell Old Friend.

It is with a very heavy heart that I write this today. Our Beloved family friend Calle passed away yesterday after a short bout with lymphoma. My wife "Angie" used to work at a vets office when we were engaged to be married. One day shortly after we bought our first house, I was living there alone for a few months, she brought home this little mop of hair that had a tail wagging. And for our first 5 years of marriage she was our only child. We kept her in kennel at nights and during the day while we were at work. My office here seems a lot emptier this morning. When our daughter was born Calle watched her like a hawk and if she happened to be crawling down the hall and we didnt see for whatever reason Calle would follow her and bark for us. That's the problem with having a dog. You get so attached and it just hurts so bad when they are taken from you. I will always remember when I would come in from a hard day at work. Calle would meet me at the door, She would always wait for me to take off my shoes and then she and I would wrestle a little bit. She always ended it by licking me on the face. I miss that most. I know dogs arent people but they sure do teach us a lot about unconditional love. Dexter was the name of the last dog I had when I lived with my parents. He just passed a year or so ago from a stroke. The last thing I told Calle before I laid her to rest was to let Dexter know that we still love him too and they would have a great time having the angels to rub their bellies and throw their tennis balls. The hardest thing so far as a dad that I have had to do is come home and console my two favorite people then go out and create a final resting place. I think I did it right? Calle loved the outside, when we would let her out on a day like yesterday she would find the nearest shady spot and just lie down and chill. That is what she was doing when she passed. So farewell Callebell!! We Love You!!! And we will never forget you.

Good Times!!!!

Hello out there!! Time for another episode of how the trailer turns!! I want to talk to you all about beliefs. The people who are important to me know some of my beliefs. For those of you who do not know me personally, let me enlighten you a bit. Yes I am a christian. No I don't believe that you have to go to church regularly to be considered a real christian. I feel that is your own personal conviction. I have been a youth group leader and a sunday school teacher. That all went away when I made mention of enjoying an adult beverage and that I listen to various kinds of music, (metal being the most notable). I also believe that you should give thanks to God for the good and the bad in life. Always remember that the bad days make you appreciate the good ones even more. I also believe that good friends are hard to find and when you find them you should appreciate the good and the bad points about them. Especially if the good things they do for you as a friend outweigh the bad qualities they may or may not have in your eyes. Where their intentions may be the best, their way of carrying out those intentions could be something you may not agree with. Now that my little sermon is finished I want to take a minute to thank my Mom and Dad for a great time at the house the other day with a fish fry to celebrate not only my Birthday (33) but also my Grandparents anniversary (58). It was a wonderful night with most of my favorite people in attendance. Some of my close friends didnt make it and that's ok. They treated me to a birthday dinner earlier in the week. And I wonder why I am fat, HAHAHA. As with any get together with me and my Mom there was of course a little speedbump, but I thank God everyday that I have a relationship with my Mom that allows us to discuss our differences like adults and try to come to an understanding. We don't agree with each other sometimes but at least we respect what the other is saying. Love ya Mom. Hey and I know I didnt talk about it last month but Fathers Day came around again and I thank God everyday for my Dad. It is because of his example that I feel I am the man I am today. I know I make mistakes in raising my children and its ok. I know he feels he probably made a few with me. I still love him and I know he still loves me. My best friend lost his Dad a few years ago. I couldn't imagine. Of all the men that I have come in contact with in my life, I hold them up to the example that my Dad set to me as the perfect father and quite honestly most fall very short in my eyes. We are on a bowling league together and I cherish all of those nights at the alley. We are like best friends instead of Father and Son for a few hours on Monday night. Love ya POP!!!

Until next time!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

Hi All!!! Glad that I am apparently getting some new readers to the blog. ;) So HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! I hope all the ladies in your life know how much you appreciate and care for them on this special day. I thought I would drop a few lines about the important ladies in my life, starting with my grandmother Nancy. I love this little woman, she never has had a house that you couldnt play in as a child and she never showed any of the grandchildren more love that the others. But we all knew not to cross her, just ask me and I will tell you about Kmart. My wonderful and beautiful wife Angie, there is not enough space on the web for me to begin to tell you how much I love, adore and respect her. She has not surprised me at all with how great of a mother she has been to Madison. I tell Maddie all the time that she should just watch her mother and she will learn how to be the perfect mom and wife. Our best friend Jamie is so awesome!! Not only is she a 3rd shift nurse after going back to school in her late 20's, but she also juggles the duties of being a wife, the stress of nursing, the fun ;) of being a mother to a daughter who is very headstrong, but she is also the mother to an autistic son. Jared is a very complex child whos mood will change in an instant but you can tell he loves his mom. Angie and I admire Jamie more than anyone will ever know. Now this is the first year that my Mom and I didn't spend Mothers Day together and that was ok. She got a free trip to the beach with some friends and needed a getaway. My Mom is and always will be one of my best friends. I know that I can call her anytime of the day or night if I am upset about something and I know she will talk to me and calm me down. Quick background, I just started a new job after leaving the one I was at for over 5yrs. I have been very depressed and took a big hit to my self confidence. I haven't really told many people but I have been depressed for several months now. I talked to Mom a few nights ago for about 2 hrs. I am now happy and content with every aspect in my life. THANKS MOM!!!! I LOVE YOU AND HOPE YOU HAD FUN AT THE BEACH!!! Guys, tell your Mom you love em. You only have one!!! Ladies, a sincere HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU ALL!!! Angie, Jamie, Meemaw Nancy, I LOVE YOU AND ADMIRE YOU ALL!!!!

Spring has Sprung!!

Well all it looks as if spring is upon us. Yours truly has already cut the grass 3 times this year. That is about all I did last year all together. So I have one question for the local governments and weather people......WHAT DROUGHT??!?!?!?!?!?!!? Most of the local weather people are still saying we are in a severe drought. Well let me just tell you a few things, THERE IS NO MORE DROUGHT!!! The government and the local news stations only survive on you being scared. Scared there is a shortage of water, gas and other basic essentials to human life as we know it. The truth is we have no shortage of any of these. There is plenty of oil in the world but it takes the people who matter to not give in to every special interest group to be able to drill where they need to. You granola eatin, tree huggin, prius driving hippy idiots know who I'm talkin to here. Lets address the water issue now. Have ya looked on either side of the country??? Thats a ton o water there people. The money would come in with filter systems to make it worthy of drinking. We as a people need to band together and bring some common sense back to the people who matter!!! Get out and Vote this year and let your voice be heard!!! THAT IS ALL!!!!
