My Story

I was born August 8, 1974 in Joliet, IL. My life didn't start out picture perfect. My mom was 16 and my dad 19. I was a date gone bad. They married and divorced six years later, right after my brother was born. After that I lived with my mom and never really saw much of my dad. We kind of jumped around for awhile. I moved from one school to the next. It made it very hard to make friends and during this time I felt alone. Then after my second...

A Reason for Thanksgiving

This weekend I had the privilege of meeting my new sister-in-law. My brother Jeremy and his wife Christina eloped this fall and we had a reception for them this weekend. It was a lot of fun seeing family and friends, and it was most enjoyable meeting our newest family members. Christina and her daughter Mary fit right in and I must say that I was a little nervous about the marriage but having met her and seen the two of them together I think they make a great...

I was at home yesterday with the girls and I happened to look over at Kim and she's lying there with her head in a box. She was just laying there as still as could be. I thought it was funny and thought I'd share it with you. I have no idea what she thought she was doing.click on the picture to ...

My Scariest Moment

Last night I was in the house when I heard "the scream". You know the one, the one that raises the hair on the back of your neck. The one that makes you feel sick. The when that tells you that your child is not ok. I rushed to the door to find Becca holding her head and when I open the door she says through her tiers, "I'm bleeding". She then removed her hand and blood poured from her head down the front of her soaking her hair and shirt. I rushed her the...

A Hard Lesson

Well, many of you may have already installed Microsofts new gift to the world SP2 for Windows XP. I did and it was the worst thing that ever happened to me (that is technically). I lost everything. After installing the computer wouldn't reboot. After flipping out, it took two weeks to get my system up and running. I was able to retreive some files off the hard drive using Linux before reinstalling windows. It has been frustrating to say the least. But I learned...

I went fishing with men's ministry from our church, called Ironmen, today. After about 20 minutes I caught this 36" Northern. I caught it on a leach on a ultra light rod and 4lb test line. it was a blast! Unfortunitely, that was about it for the day. It was our first time to the lake but I think...

Daddy's Little Girl

Today Becca made this picture while I was at work. I asked her, "Why did you draw a heart with your name above it?" and she said, "Because I love you so much." Needless to say, my own heart burst with as much, if not more, emotion than I did on the day I said "I do". This is one of the first times Becca has expressed her love to me so vividly, purely and most of all, on her own. It made my day :) I wonder... How does it make God feel when we completely...

FREE PDF Creation for All !!!

I've tried a lot of PDF software and most of the free software is fine, but one thing that always bothered me was the advertising that was added to the document and you had to pay to get it off. Until I found PrimoPDF that is. It's a great program that works as a virtual printer. In any program you're in you just select Print... in the File menu and then change the printer to PrimoPDF. The software will ask you were to save the PDF file and it makes it. Easy...

Good Friends

One of God's greatest gifts is friends. Monday was kind of a bad for me. I was tired, work was....well, work. And all of life's problems seemed to be reminding me that they were still there in force. I felt like going to be bed and wake up when life became perfect. But, since that wasn't an option we ended up going to dinner with some friends. We had so much fun. I felt so good after we had come home. I even had a better day today. Hey, they even treated us...

GAYS AND MARRIAGE

This week the state of Massachusetts made it legal for gays to marry. Unfortunately, this is not much of a shock. It was really only a matter of time. We are now the fourth country in the world that allows gay marriage. The gay marriage thing really bothers me. I believe it is a symptom that shows how bad our society, and how corrupt our culture, has gotten. "He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike, are an abomination...

What can I say, I've been getting a lot of maintenance jobs on websites and I haven't had time for my own. but I'm going to be trying to keep up. :)Let's see, there has been a lot going on but I'm not going to even try to put it all down here right now. My latest project has been trying to get our new computer up and running. I've been looking at getting a new computer for about six years...
