What up peeps?! We are trying to move forward on the addition on our house, as much as possible. It aint easy! We cant get enough dry days in a row to pour concrete for the floor of our house, so instead of twiddling our thumbs til that happens, I'm trying to find an electritian to move our electrical box. This is one of many mundane little tasks that has to be done before we can frame the addition. So it should go something like this, move the electric box, pour the floor, frame the walls, install the windows and door, build interior walls, add plumbing fixtures, lay carpet & linolium, and presto...we're done! You might say, "oh, is that all?!" but if you knew what we've had to deal with so far, you'd be amazed at how close we've come. Once the addition is done, we'll live there for the next 3 or 4 years, and then move up with the house. We'll get a loan for the full amount and pay someone to build it for us. This build it yourself crap is for the birds.
Aside from that, school is getting ready to start again. I'm a little scared this semester. I didn't do very well in my last class and completely blanked on the final. I squeeked by and passed the class, but i'm kinda freaking out that this might happen again. I'm sure I'll be fine, but I have had a few sleepless nights since that last final.
I've got lots of pictures to show everybody, but I can't figure out how to make that slide show like a few of you have on your sites. Jen showed me the widget thing (I think thats what its called) where you can add things to your site. Could someone let me know how to do that so I can make my site more interesting?
Well, thats it for now. Later!
Loving life, and living love. In my mind, there must be a God. How else would I be so blessed as to be married to the greatest woman; be a father to the smartest and most beautiful little girl and handsome young son; and have so many wonderful friends to share my life with?

Wow, I was thrilled with the responses I'm getting on my blog. I'm so glad to connect to everybody on a semi-regular basis. I tried doing a blog thing with my brother on windows live, but we were the only people on it, so I said just email me. But being able to see whats going on in everybody elses life and them seeing how I'm doing is pretty cool. Now we need to get some of the guys in on this. I've heard from a couple of you, but not everybody. Where my peeps at? Don't I sound ghetto? Well gotta run!

Well, the new year has come and gone, and its time to shake off the holiday season and get ready for the long slow drudge of life. Gee, don't I sound enthousiastic! Maybe its just that I've been docked $50 at work because of a mistake the company made, call me crazy but that just sucks.
Anywho, the holiday's were pretty good to us. Caryl and I walked away with over $700 in cash, not to mention gift cards. We were pretty happy. Sophie loved Christmas. She would find a present under the tree, then scream, "whats in there?!" tear open the paper and say, "ooh, preettyyy!". Then promptly throw it to the ground, and scramble for another one. She didn't care wat was inside, she just wanted to open the presents. Ahhh to be young again.
I'm running short on time so I'll blog again later.
