Coach and Brian Get Hitched

Today was the big day.... And of course, something always happens. God was mad at Gretchen for going commando in church, so He cut the lights in mid-Mass...and gave the sign of peace while kneeling for good measure. But there were no shotguns (in plain sight) and no one ran from the alter or reception. The Fantastic Four (pictured above) got a snapshot (by Christopher- pretty good huh) before daddy duty took over and I had to leave because Matthew was coming un-glued..... what a great ride home. They are off to see the prosperous country of Mexico... hopefully won't smuggle any locals home.... and will be back in the "saddle" (if you know what I mean) next week.

Makes me proud to say "War Eagle"

In light of the arrest of the great one... Jimmy "Sell that Coke" Johns, the Crimson Tide Million Dollar Band has decided to change the fight song to "The Smuggler's Blues".

The Bachelor Party

Our friends, Brian and Gretchen, are getting married this Saturday. As tradition mandates, the bachelor party was last Saturday. A good time was had by all. No arrest, injuries or other afflictions were recorded; although a interesting game of "Never have I ever...." did take place. Of course, MAN LAW dictates that all information obtained during said game must be taken to the grave or at least used to embarress the hell out of someone while consuming ETOH.

Here's the kids...

I guess all parents are proud of their children. It is a human nature. But these kids are truly my greatest footprint on this earth. God gave us 3 incredible souls to guide and love. As I look at changing careers, Annette is the ROCK at home. How do you thank someone for sacrificing their time, energy, and career for your children. We decided to make every effort to have a constant presence at home. Even though at times it is very difficult for both of us; I pray that the kids are able to look back as adults and say- "WOW! Look at all the great times."

Life changes

Can you believe it? I have decided to take a sales position at CPSI. Talk about a change... maybe I am going through a mid-life crisis.... how many people really live past 70 anyway.

I will use this media to share updates with family and friends. So I guess I should saddle my horse, we are going on a great adventure.
