Well, i had a fun weekend! On saturday, my friend robert and I went to the Dodge Ram World Challenge. We drove Dodge Ram pick ups on various off road coarses, and compared them to other pick ups in the class. Unfortunately, the Toyota Tundra kicked Dodge's ass! There was free food, and we got to get inside a dodge viper(they wouldn't let me drive it though :~( but it was super nice!) There were also some give aways, and we got registered to win a new dodge ram pick up! Keep your fingers crossed!
Then that same night, Caryl and I went on a date night. We left Sophia with Robert and his children. We started out with appetizers at Friday's. Just enough to fill an empty tummy but not to over indulge. Then we went to see the Dark Night (the new batman movie) It was pretty cool. I thought some of the effects and toys were cheesy, but that's kinda the point for batman, right? Then we finished the night with a trip to Ameristar. I didn't have a bunch of money, so we stuck to the slots. I actually won $50! I've never won anything on slots before, so I thought that was pretty cool.
On sunday, I spent the morning taking down some trees for this winter's firewood supply. I love the chain saw! Then we took the fish I caught on a camping trip a few weeks ago, and went to the inlaws for dinner where we fried up the trout as a mid afternoon snack. Overall, it had been a pretty relaxing weekend. One of the last we'll ever have, i'd bet. What now with school in full swing, work, and the new baby on the way.
We'll find out the sex of the baby in a couple of weeks. Caryl and I are still debating if we'll tell anyone, or keep it a secret until it arrives. My brother had a cool idea, where he let everybody know he was having a girl, but didn't release the name until she was born. Then he made proper introductions when people came to visit. I don't know, a whole lot of ideas to play around with. We'll see. Well, thats it for now. Blog at you 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?

School Again
Well, it's the first day of class of the Fall semester! Whoopee... I'm killing time in between classes, so I thought I'd blog a bit. I hope this blog finds you well, and in great spirits! As they say life is too short to waste on worry and stress.
So nothing new here. Caryl and I are finally rolling around baby names for the new addition to our family. We may have actually come to an agreement, but Caryl has a history of letting me get used to something and then changing her mind, so we'll have to wait and see. Caryl's doing the same thing she did with Sophie, though. She plays along like its a boy, so then fate will be forced to suprise us with a girl instead. I'll be happy either way, though. Boys and girls both have their pro's and con's, in the mean time, the anticipation is killing me!
Well sorry this is so short, but I've gotta run to class now. I'll try to blog again sooner!
