Holiday or Helluvaday Weekend????

Never seen so many morons on the road at once until it becomes a holiday weekend! Where do they get their driver's license? And why aren't the law enforcement officers pulling them over? Oh well, I'm glad to be home safe and sound with my son. Julie is on her way to Arkansas for a wedding. I wish she were here with Nolan & I relaxing and watching TV, but she'll be home tomorrow evening and I can't wait! I love her so! Nolan is excited this evening because he gets to hang out with daddy and sleep in my bed with me. We will lay in bed & visit & give each other "big bear hugs" as he likes to call it. I don't want him to ever grow up! How do parents do it... dealing with their kids growing up so fast? I just hope that at the end of this journey called life that I will know him and be able to give him big bear hugs! Okay...I just made my self tear up...as I mentioned in the subject line above...it has been one helluvaday and I'm an emotional wreak...why? Not for sure why...tomorrow is a new day and the beginning of a well deserved 3 day weekend so I am going to enjoy every second of it!

G'night

Fortunate to have a son

Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for giving me my son. I remember the night he was born and how the joy of becoming a father was set aside while the stress, fear and concern for the birth of my son was overwhelming. I remember seeing him for the first time and and thinking that he was so small and fragile, but yet such a large part of my world he was and will always be.

I am blessed to be a father, a parent and a friend. And I am fortunate to have a son.

I love you Nolan.

What I Have Learned

Marriage is harder than it looks. If you take everything you know about love before being married and multiply that information by 100, you are still dumb as a pet rock when it comes to love if you have not been married.

Intuition is underrated. If I could live my life over, I would follow my gut more.

I define great entertainment by the effect the movie, music, piece or performance has on me years later.

Out of every quality to expect, search for and hope for in a friend, lover or family member, Integrity should always be at the top of the list.
