The beginning

I've begun posting blogs here mainly due to my friend Alyson ... but Myspace's lack of cooperation was also a big player in the move to this site. I'm not feeling very bloggy tonight, but I can not figure out how to update my profile ... I think the first blog is required, you know, like an initiation (without the alcohol and nude olympics). In any event, I just returned from Florida and was immediately thrown into work. Since I've come home I found out that my Amanda is leaving the great (I am being sarcastic, I promise ... not about her leaving mind you, just the word "great") state of California for the sunny (yah, again) state of Florida. I will miss having her so close!!! We only took advantage of it twice! *A note on sunny Florida. I grew up there. Lived in some small town in Florida for 21 years. You would think that I would be prepared for it to rain almost the entire time I was there. I wasn't. The worst part, I wanted to see a good thunderstorm. I haven't gotten one of those since we lived in Oklahoma (almost 3 years now). It made me sad.

Back on to news worthy topics. My friend Travis is getting married in a week. I am praying for him. That's all I'm saying about that. Mikey is getting his life back together and I have never been more proud of him. He's been through a lot and I think he is handling himself very well. It was great to see Mike, Alyson and Tom. As I've gotten older, I have learned a lot about friendship. I wish I had held on to all of my friendships a little tighter back in the days of MCHS. I guess that learning the "hard way" sometimes may be the only way. I won't let another 7 years (almost 8) come between us again. At least I won't if you won't.


Me, Mikey and Alyson

Mikey, Me, Alyson, Tom and Jennifer out to eat. Did someone say creamy?

Alright, I am completely blogged out. Until next time!
