Wow. It's been a while!
Where do I start? I am very bored sitting at my doctors office while I wait to get a hearing test. Lately I have been on a Xbox kick again. I have been trying to go back and try to get all the achievements of each game. I finally got 1000/1000 on Ncaa 09. My plan is next to move to madden then finish Fallout 3. I am also excited about tomorrow night. We are going to LaComedia Dinner Theatre to...

A great weekend
Friday night I baked all evening and then spent the rest of the evening with my gorgeous girl Saturday night we had my family Halloween party. It was a great time and me and Carrie had a blast dressed up as a reversed couple. I was a chick and she was a guy. It was a blast Sunday we had a birthday party for Carrie’s niece. It was at Chuck e Cheese and it turned out great. After that we...
The Blogging blues
Lately I have had no urge to update any of my blogs. To be honest I still don’t. I have just been really busy as of late and not sure when or if the blogging buzz will return. Sorry to anyone that actually reads my blogs.
Poor Guy
Tomorrow is my oldest son Clayton’s first ever surgery. Ever since he was 3 he has suffered from chronic nose bleeds. He is scheduled to have the veins in his nose cauterized tomorrow at 8 AM. We have to be there two hours in advance.
The poor little guy has been ready all week, and now that it’s the night before you can tell he is getting a little worried. I told him he won’t...
My first Fantasy Football trade of the season!
With my fantasy team not doing so hot I decided to pull the plug on Marvin Harrison after his big game along with Larry Johnson to get Frank Gore and Donovan Mcnabb. I am now trying to trade Phillip Rivers to land a good WR
The last two days have been amazing!
The least two days I have spent a lot of quality time with Carrie. They have been nothing short of amazing. Last night we just had a romantic evening at home for our anniversary. Today I had to leave work early to take care of a few things and then met up with her later and spent the rest of the day at the mall. Today was a big step, we went looking at engagement rings. We have been together over...

Weekend wrap-up
This weekend wasn’t too bad. Friday night I took Carrie out to dinnerthen Saturday we went with her family to Youngs Dairy for their Pumkin Festival. Their pumpkin ice cream was amazing!!! During that time the housing around the trackball on my Blackberry fell out completely. I did nothing to the phone to cause it. But its totally gone. Its not fun using the BB without a trackball, but I am...

Would you be so kind to support my son in...
Hey everyone! I would like to take a second to ask for your help!
My son Clayton just joined Boyscouts and has jumped into this head first. He is so excited about being a scout. Recently he found out he is selling popcorn to support his troop. This is the ONLY fundraiser that he has all year. This gives his pack money for the events and materials they do year long.
His goal was not to get the...
When will it end?
Life has been a rollercoaster for me as of late. Between friends and family dealing with rough times and me having my own issue I just want to scream. My back is STILL not healed up and is not even at 25 percent yet. I just want to be able to get on my bike and work out again. I have been stretching, sleeping on the floor however it seems just as it starts feeling better I tweak it just by moving...
Fall is awesome
I love fall. I am not really sure why, but iit just puts a mood over me that gets me wanting to enjoy the cool air, beautiful leaves, and fall festivals. I was reminded of this yesterday after watching the Bengals lose a close one. I decided to take Carrie, my mom and the boys to a local apple orchard to get some fresh apple cider. It was a good time but being since we got there late there werent...
Movie Night
Last night I took serious advantage of having the power back. I first started with watching my favorite movie from when I was a kid with the boys. The movie was RAD, the ultimate in BMX movies. After that I watched Bait Shop and The departed. All these movies were great. It was so good to relax with these movies. Might do the same tonight after I take the oldest to Boyscout signups.
Let there be light!
Not long after putting the boys down for bed and bearing down for another powerless night’ at 8:45PM I heard the lovely sound of electricity humming through my house. Instantly I was is a great mood. After 3 days without power my mind was finally at ease. I even think I may have saved some of the food in my freezer. I still don’t have internet but can easily live with that. Hoping to...
Day #3 With no electric.....
This is getting more and more frustrating as time goes on. As of right now we are still without power and have seen no signs of it coming back anytime soon. Between spoiling food, cold showers, and pitch black nights I am not sure just how much more I can take. The only net access I have is very limited to work and the Blackberry. Just keep praying that power is restored soon.
Sitting in the dark......
Crazy winds swept through my area today. Electric went out around 2PM and still shows no signs of coming back. Its been such a frustrating day here in Ohio. What’s worse is I missed the Bengals game and have no clue how my fantasy team is doing. Hurry up and come back electric!
A little weekend round-up
Friday night I spent the evening with Carrie and her family. I was having some serious lower back problems and was lucky enough that their family friend that is a massage therapist was there. She gave me a good rubdown and it felt a bit better. Saturday I woke up early and road the new bike for 30 miles. The ride went great despite my back giving me fits here and there. Later that evening we took...
I am a special guest on The Guys Podcast tonight!
I have the honor of being a special guest on the next episode of The Guys Podcast. D.G. had asked me to join them for the live recording tonighta nd I accepted the invite with pure excitement.
Many of you know this is my all time favorite Podcast and have been said to be their #1 fan. This is a big deal for me. I am somewhat nervous in hopes that I don’t bomb. Courtney will be out...
40 Mile Bike Trip Afterthoughts
Today I set out determined to ride to Carrie’s house from mine. This is right at 20 miles one way. This would turn out to be the furthest I have been. Usually bike trails are pretty easy to do 40 miles. I however wanted to make my goal a little harder, which is why I chose a road route.
It took a bit to get my legs into it but after the first hill it was smooth sailing….Until I had...
Fish fry
Tonight we went to some friends of the family. They had a huge fish fry. There was plenty, well actually too much fried foods. All in all it was a good time though After that we came home and I enjoyed some one on one with Carrie. Tomorrow I am going to try and ride my bike to Carrie’s parents and then back home. This would be my longest trip and be around 40 miles round trip. I just hope I...

This is going to be tough
The past few days have really been uneventful. I have pretty much just been hanging out, spending time with the boys and Carrie as much as I can. The boys go back to their Mom’s for two weeks Monday due to her going on vacation soon. I am gonna miss the little guys not having them for two whole weeks. Hopefully she will let me get them for a few hours or so the week after next. This...

Last night the bike ride went well. I went past the 20 mile mark. I actually could have went longer however I had to make sure I made Carries Mom’s birthday dinner. The dinner was great and it was good to be there for her birthday. Her Dad and I talked a little about bikes and he has me looking forward to getting a nice bike soon. It will be a little while before I can spare the extra cash....
20 miles
That’s how many I’d like to surpass tonight. A guy that I work with has decided to ride with me tonight. He said he is only up for doing 6. I however want to do much more. I just hope I can due to time restrictions. We will see.
Another Awesome Weekend
Our trip to The Wilds was great! The kids had such a great time as so did the adults. If your ever in the Zanesville Ohio area make sure to check out what The Wilds has to offer!
I uploaded my pictures from the weekend and you can see them here.
Packing up and headed out!
I am currently packing up for our mini vacation to The Wilds this weekend. We are all really excited and the kids don’t have a clue where we are going. The rents are coming with Carrie and I as well. I think my Dad might be just as excited as the kids.
I hope to score some really good pictures and maybe some video. See you all soon!
The Wilds
Last night I booked our hotel for our weekend trip to The Wilds http://www.thewilds.org in Cumberland Ohio. We are taking my parents and the boys Saturday and go on the safari tour all day sunday. It should be a great time and I hope to get some awesome pictures. I hope the boys enjoy it.
The Ickies
The last two days I have felt awful. Have had some sort of stomach bug or ate something bad. Whatever it was it had my stomach feeling horrible. I feel a little better as I type this I just hope it holds. Tomorrow I hope to get back on track with everything. It was awful being sick the first night of getting the boys back
