June 21 - Summer starts and a castle touring it was

June 21, 2014
Greetings from Germany.  Been here now for just about 2 weeks.  It's been interesting when it comes to work,  or should I say, the flustercluck that is going on out here.  Haven't been doing nearly what I thought I would be or as much and it is a bit frustrating.  But hey, it's just temporary and then back home.

So today went to Burg Hohenzollern which is a castle sitting on top of a mountain about 45 minutes away from Stuttgart.  Gonna be putting some pictures up here as well to show the sights I saw.  They were amazing.  The castle is huge and literally is on top of a mountain looking down.  It kind of resembles Hogwarts. 

One place I wanted to go is marked off.  Not sure if I'll be able to go to all the places I listed earlier but I will make it to some. 

So until I post again,

June 9, 2010 - The BBP has landed

June 9, 2014
Well, we actually landed yesterday but due to technical issues, weren't able to post anything on here.  So posting today from Germany.

It's a beautiful country and I saw a little bit yesterday  but am looking forward to seeing more of it in the following weeks.  Lots of things to see, do and places to go.  Not to mention all the countries I am going to try to hit and see.  We have France with Euro Disneyland, Switzerland and Austria with the hopes of getting some skiing in.  Might try to hit I...

June 6th - June is hereand so is Change

June 6, 2014
Wow!!!  Been a busy time the past few days for me.  As some of my friends know, I am leaving for Germany for almost 2 months.  I am super excited about this opportunity and hope more comes out of it.  But if not, it will be an awesome experience none the less.  So much to do with so little time but I am chugging along and hopefully will have everything set to go tonight.  I've been to Germany twice for a total of about 4 hours for layovers when I was going to Afghanistan and coming back from ...

May 23rd - 24 hours (not for me)

May 23, 2014
Today was supposed to be a great, fun filled day while spending 24 hours at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.  Grrrrr
However, it was worth it because I got to spend the weekend with my son on his 15th birthday.  Can't beat that.
So to all my friends who will be doing the 24 hours, have a great time.

May 18th - The Day After

May 18, 2014
Well, yesterday was my guy's 15th birthday.  He had a great birthday and was just a low key celebration, though it lasted roughly 2 days.  He was up all night with his birthday present.  Made me feel so good that he's so happy. 

I love you Z!!!

May 12th - Almost but not quite

May 13, 2014
Happy May 12th.  No, it's not a holiday or anything special really.  I did manage to do something today that while it could have changed things, I decided not to go ahead with it at this time.  I was offered a job to head back overseas but I felt the position wasn't a good fit for me and neither was the location.  While it would have been decent financially, it wasn't great money.  It's not all about money but if I'm going to do something like that again, it had damn better well be worth it a...

Happy Cinco de Mayo

May 5, 2014
Hola!!!  Happy Cinco de Mayo.  Who here knows what Cinco de Mayo stands for?  No really.  Raise your hand. 
OK, so it's not Mexico's Independence day.  That's all I'm saying.

I know, I know.  Been a few weeks since I've updated the site.  I kept meaning to come here and do more and I'm actually looking into modifying this site and making it something else.  Not yet though.  It is still a "Project". 

Anyways, in a couple of weeks, my guy will be 15 and able to get his restricted license.  Wow! ...

April 19th - Days go by and still I think of you

April 19, 2014
Good morning all.  It's been 12 days since my last update and in that time I've had impure thoughts, used my name in vain and stole 2.6 million dollars from an old man who just had it laying around.

OK, maybe some of those aren't true.  You decide.  :-)

Been a busy week and seemed to be on the go almost all the time but feeling changes occur and seeing the light for some good things.  Don't wanna jinx anything yet but I'm cautiously optimistic. 

So as the title of this post says, Days go by and...

April 7th - Slacking off

April 7, 2014
I know I keep saying that I'm not going to let this happen but it always does.  If this was all I did then I might be able to keep this site current but I work odd hours and just get busy with other things or am wiped out mentally, emotionally and physically to get on here.  Been a tough month for me and hoping some things get better soon.  It's really wiping me out. 

I'll try to be better.

March 3rd - Flying by

March 3, 2014
Can you believe how fast the year is flying by?  I know I can't.  It seems to be flying by faster and faster.  I know that it's been said it happens when you get older but this is crazy.  I think technology is doing it to all of us.  We're more connected than we've ever been and busier all the time now.  There doesn't seem to be the same feeling there was 20 years ago when you were home on a Sunday late afternoon early evening.  Remember the feeling of just enjoying the moment?  Well now it's...
