Sep 8th - Still a special day

September 9, 2013
While it's almost over, today, September 8th, is still a special day in my life.  27 years ago, I left home as an 18 year old kid to join the U.S. Navy.  Twelve years later, I started down the path of my current life where I began my second stint in college and owned it all since then.  While I haven't had any tremendous events really take place on this day since then, I can fondly look back and remember where a lot of things in my life started. 
Today, I am very happy with where I am working and enjoying what life has been showing me.  It hasn't been all the best but if it was, there wouldn't be anything really worth appreciating because it would all be taken for granted.  That's not who I am or who I plan to be. 
Have a great start to the week.

August 12th - Happy Birthday

August 13, 2013
A few things going on today.  A year ago, after being away for over a year, my feet touched American soil again as I returned from Iraq.  It was a really good day and memorable. 

And today is another great day.  Not only is it my birthday, but it's also the beginning of some new things in life, happiness and positive outlook.  Many adventures are ahead and I'm looking forward to them. 

Robin and Brody have done well.

August 6th - One year ago

August 6, 2013
One year ago today, I left Iraq for good after being there for one year.  Went through numerous rocket attacks, moved 3 times to 3 different bases but finally got out of there on this date.  It was a very happy time as I began a long journey back home.  Even though things didn't turn out the way I had envisioned, I am a lot happier and in a much better place.  Nice to have known you FU3.

Wow!  The time has been flying.  I just completed my first month at the new company and have to say, it's the best!!!  I'm learning new things, working with good people and working for a great company!  They know how to treat their people.

July 22nd - Grandma

July 22, 2013
Here we are at 2 years since you left us.  It's been difficult at times for myself with a lot going on.  Sometimes, I would come by and visit your site and talk to you and it would make me feel a little better but also make me miss you even more.  There have been times I wished I could have talked to you because you were always the one to show love, compassion and caring.  You made a lot of people better for just spending some time with them.  Your great grandson is so tall now and asks about...

July 12th - Good Times

July 12, 2013
OK!  I've done it again where it has been over 2 weeks since I've touched my site.  I have no excuses.  I will make sure to pay better attention to the site.  I'm looking at doing some major changes so we shall see what I can come up with.

In the meantime, it has been a very busy few weeks.  I left my old job back at MacDill to go to a software company.  For those who have known my drive to get a job at MacDill  may be surprised that I left.  However, the environment there was just too toxic a...

June 25th - Last week

June 25, 2013
Again...WOW!!!  Where does the time go when you're having fun?  Actually, it's just been crazy as I prepare to finish up my last few days working with the military and going back into the corporate world.  I'm looking forward to the change because the way the military runs things is not somewhere I want to work anymore.  Need to pan out and get into this new experience and take it for all it's worth.  I'm excited and ready for this.
Otherwise, things have been moving on as usual.  Never seem t...

June 5th - Months are flying

June 5, 2013
Can't believe I haven't posted on here in a few weeks.  Time just seems to fly by not to mention how busy times get.  Not really a whole lot to report or talk about.  Just been going and going.  Hoping for something good to happen next week though.

May 17th - Happy Birthday Zach

May 17, 2013
Today is a very special day.  It is Zachary's birthday.  He turns 14 officially in just over 2 hours.  The last 2 years I'd been away overseas and unable to spend his birthday with him but this year, he and I have been on a whirlwind tour of Orlando.  We've gone to Aquatica, Sea World, where he rode his first flying roller coaster, Manta and then went swimming with the dolphins and an underwater adventure at Discovery Cove.  Today we are heading to Walt Disney World where we will be camping a...
