So, it has definitely been a while since my last post.  First, school took up a considerable amount of my time. Secondly, I just got married to my beautiful best friend and she kind of takes precedence.  Third, I forgot.  Thanks to Taylor, I remembered about my profile and decided to put something together.

Looking back at the past few months, I realize just how blessed I really am.  On June 9, my wife and I were united forever.  She is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.  I cannot put my feelings into words on here, in my head, or even to her.  She knows and I know, but we just can't put those feelings into words.  Also, I realize how blessed I after thinking about all those who have supported us in anyway.  I was extremely happy to see so many friends and family at the weddings.  I also am very thankful for those that were not able to make it, but kept us in their prayers and supported us in their thoughts.

At the beginning of July, Christine and I decided to add a member to our family...a puppy!

His name is Duke and he is just about 4 months old.  We know he is mainly a Lab, but there may be another breed mixed in.

Side-note: Anyone else see the yellow (or maybe green) and purple plaid suit-jacket that Coach Patterson had on at the press conference?  Coach is looking pretty fly for a white guy!

I think I am writing these blogs for myself as well as for those who may need a little day-brightening.  I've found that it can sometimes be therapeutic to get thoughts out of your head.   Also, I will continue to try to keep things light for those that need their smile for the day.

I would like to thank you for reading and I hope you come back soon!
