One more try....

This isn't my first attempt at writing and maintaining a blog. I had one before, but through a comedy of errors it fell by the wayside. This one most likely will also so don't get your hopes up.

Anyway, as I stated in my "introduction" I am a father that is trying to make it through life without too many huge mistakes. I have already made enough of them in my lifetime and I don't want to repeat them. But, I most likely will. I guess you just never learn.

Things have changed for me in recent years. I have the greatest gift a loving wife could ever give to a husband. I have Paul, our 2 and a half year old terror. I also have my unbelievably strong daughter, Peyton, who lives with her mother in Washington State. I don't get to see her as much as I would like to, but that's the way life works sometimes I guess.

I get the privilege and honor of sharing my life with Danielle, the strongest woman I know this side of my mother. We spend too much time chasing after and attempting to clean up the aftermath of our little bundle of tornado. He just really does not realize just how much of a bulldozer he is. Nor does he realize how smart he is. There are times when we look at each other and know, deep down inside, that we are totally and completely screwed! He's way smarter than we are!

When we're not chasing him around I like to fish....a lot! Not near as much as I would truly like to, but I am the luckiest man on earth in that Danielle likes to go with me! We take Paul out with us as well so it becomes a giant family affair. Those trips are way too short because Paul just can't sit still that long. Oh well....that will come in due time.

We're both USA Cycling officials and really enjoy giving back to the sport we love. The time away from family is the only negative, but the time with our friends is well spent. It is good to catch up with them from time to time.

I attend Regent University and am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis in Pre-Law. My hope and goal is to finish this degree, my second, before I retire. Then go on to, hopefully, get my Juris Doctorate degree and become an attorney.

Other than that there's not too much else to talk about. We go to work, we come home, we do our best to corral the monster, as I like to call him, and we crash every night. You know...the American Dream!
