I wonder...

…how many of the ‘small’ things in my life lead me to where I’m at today. If something small from my past was changed would I be the same person?

I guess that makes me cool, I have a tweet pic now.

Edit: Thanks for the tip Rick! Wow, I haven’t visited Facebook in quite a while. I just checked my email this morning and it said I have tons of messages in FB from Saturday (which for those of you who haven’t figured it out, it was my birthday). I want to thank each and every one of you personally for your birthday wishes and I want you all to know I love you very much! I sometimes wonder...

August 9, 2009

Today is August 10, 2010. That’s obvious to most of you. But yesterday, August 9, 2010, was exactly one year after my mother’s unfortunate stroke. I look at her today and remember her from one year ago on this very day and the change and progress I see in her is monumental; a true miracle from God at how far she’s come and recovered. I’d like to give a warm shout out to the therapists and...

One of my all time favorite games & movies. I found this on David Young’s blog from College Humor; which I found from Jake’s blog from Jake & Amir. Ok, if that isn’t a lot of advertising then I don’t know what is; just watch the video.

Happy Father's Day

I want to give a special shout out to my father, Steve, who I call Daddy, for Father’s Day. As many of you are aware, he can no longer grace us with his presence as Jesus called him home in 1991; nearly 20 years ago. Daddy was, and always will be, one of my biggest heroes. He served our country in the Army and was a Vietnam War Veteran. Luckily, God allowed him to survive and come home or my...

A Rainy Day

As I sit here quietly listening to the beautiful and unique sounds of thunder breaking the silence that encompass my home, I am reminded of memories of my childhood days when I would sit for hours on end watching storms from the comforts of the garage. I would sit as close as possible to the outside world with only a few feet of roof preventing the raindrops from becoming drenched and trembling...

New TV

I finally have a new TV! For those interested it is a Visio 32” HDTV flat screen TV and the picture is incredible. Danielle helped to pick it out and bring it home. I think I had the most trouble getting it in and out of the car; it just didn’t want to fit in the doors. Let me explain why I needed a new TV for those of you who don’t know the story. My old TV had a bubble screen (which didn’t...

A Child's Fishing Trip

 During a recent fishing trip to my mother's house on Monday (Memorial Day) I overheard the following conversation between Jack and Aliyah regarding the minnows she was looking at.
Jack: Are the fish doing alright in there?
Aliyah: Yeah, they're fine!
Jack: That's good then.
Aliyah: Yeah, they're sleeping.

Night of Strange

I’m not sure what to think about last night. We decided to go to Taco Bell to grab a bite to eat and bring it back to watch a movie. If only it were that simple. We pull up to the speaker to place our order. Everything is smooth so far. The complications began when they were out of tomatoes for the night. No worries, we’ll choose another meal. I asked for a number three with no lettuce. ...

Fine Dining

So last night was interesting. Danielle and I had decided to go for an evening at Applebee’s. The evening went well. At one point Danielle began laughing. The aftermath included me pulling chunks of food out of my hair. I’ve learned my lesson, I will try and refrain from making her laugh when she has food in her mouth :-) Take care!

Aug 24th

Late Start It should be noted that I had requested that the fireplace be turned off soon after arrival. While the fire itself was not on, it was still hot. So the original plan to begin the day; Danielle was to do some shopping as I was to get some much needed sleep. Other than that, our schedule consisted of being at the Dixie Stampede at 2:15 (I think), so there was no hurry. Things...

Vacation to Pigeon Forge - Day 1

The Drive So Danielle and I begin our long journey toward the heart of Pigeon Forge, TN. This would be our second departure, as I originally forgot to bring my motion sickness medicine. Luckily, it wasn’t needed. A scheduled stop was made at what I ‘think’ is the Wal-Mart in Adairsville. Once the cooler was filled up with drinks and food, and the car was filled with gas, we were off. The...

Alvin and the Chipmunks

I watched the Chipmunks movie last night and can honestly say I’m quite impressed with it. I bought the movie when it first came out but never had a chance to sit down and watch it. The movie really brings back a lot of old memories. The music was actually pretty good, I like their version of “Cause You Had A Bad Day” at the opening sequence as well as how the...
