To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hate Me If You Want

Alright, I'll admit I've been slacking hardcore on the whole blogging thing.  A couple things have happened since I last wrote...first off we got our Jetta that I posted about.  Then a couple weeks later we took our brand new car on a late honeymoon.  We had to make a stop in Salt Lake due to the loss of an incredible man, but eventually we did make our way to Huntington Beach California.

Isn't she hot? ;)

We stayed for a couple days, long enough to get sunburnt, and then made our way back to AZ...Where I had a new job waiting for me. :)

Currently I work in the Statistical Processing Department of Scottsdale Insurance Company, and it is going pretty well so far.  It definitely is the grunt work job, but in the long run it will all be worth it.  I've been making some pretty big moves trying to build a career for myself and that seems to be making an impact.  I've apparently made quite the name for myself already with the members of Operations.

But anyway, the gorgeous woman pictured above has started her own blog, and is kicking some major ass with it.  We got her a nice web page design done by Priceless Designs, and we'll just say that Katie hooked her up.

You can check out Tyler's blog here http://raysofpurple.blogspot.com/  it really is something speacial.  It brings her a lot of joy doing, and that makes me extremely happy and proud to see her take such a passion in something.

That is pretty much it for now...not a whole lot happening in my life, just a lot of work.

My life right now...

Not a whole lot has been going on recently. Just the same old, same old. However, the wife and I have some big plans on the horizon. Next month we plan on getting a brand new Jetta, with a sunroof for her. And with that brand new Jetta we plan on taking a week long trip to Huntington Beach, CA. Sort of a late honeymoon if you will.

On a duller note some exciting things have been unravelling at work. I am finally getting recognition. I get a promotion at the beginning of April, and everyone looks up to me for guidance. I am also preparing myself for The School of Underwriting that I am going to apply for when it becomes available.

Later days. ✌

A Time For Change...

Lately I haven't been the person that truly is me. I have been letting the stress and poor attitude of the people around me, effect how I act as a person. I sit and worry about things that are out of my control, and in return I get nothing but disappointment and a pessimistic attitude. Also, I have been bringing this attitude home with me and have been lashing out at the person I love the most, my wife. We both do our fair share of compromise in our relationship, but she is the rock the rock that keeps us grounded. Lately I have been completely skipping over the fact that she does so much, and that is not fair. I am ready to make a change. I am ready to go back to being the romantic, loving, and supportive man that she wanted so desperately to marry. I do not deserve her as the man I have been acting like, and I do not deserve to be a father if this is the way I am going to act in the future. So it's time for a change. It's time to brush the stuff off that does not matter and focus in being me. It's time to go back and treat my wife like she is the most precious thing in the world. And it is time to start shaping myself into the man I want to be in the future. The leader, the loving husband, and the father of the year.
