The First One

So here I am sitting just signed up and now I'm supposed to write something... It's not that I don't have anything to write. It' just that I have too much to write. So much is happening in my life lately and so much I can say and so much I can't. This Blog will be a filtered one for all to read. Though what I will say will be my true feelings there will be things I will not say. This is because of a few reasons. First is that there are just some things that are to be left alone and second I don't want to bore you with the juicy details of my life that are mine


The first thing I want to say is that my daughter Shalee and her new husband Travis are coming to town for their post marriage open house (the reception after the reception for all those who couldn't make the first Reception). With that said I can't wait to see them. I know but I really can't. I miss my Shaybug and think of her often. I only get 2 days with her and I plan to make the most of each day with them both.




I'm looking forward to establishing a better relationship with Travis. Things didn't start off very well between the two of us. I hope over time the both of us will be able to get past the past and get to know each other.

I'm tired and want to go to bed but I can't write my first blog with out mentioning the 2 other pieces of my heart that complete me. Josh and Sue.




Joshua is my 12 yr old son who is now the focus of my life and I'm enjoying every minute watching him grow up and begin to be a man. He's into Sports (Football, Basketball, and Lacrosse). He loves Boy Scouts. He's so much of the kid I wanted to be but never was. I'm so proud of him! He's my man.





I've saved the best for last... my wife Sue. It goes without saying she is my carousel, she's my wishing well, And she lights me up, when she rings my bell. She's a mystery, She's from outer space, She's every minute of my everyday. And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times It's her it's her, She makes me sing. She's every line, She's every word, She's everything. (Thank you Michael Bublé for helping me with that last bit).

This is the tripod of my life Sue, Shalee and Joshua.

Ok with that I'm going to bed.
This may be the first and last one... but it is the first one.
