It's been a while since I've posted, but I thought I'd drop in and say hi... maybe give a little update on where I'm at. I think that the last time I had dropped in, I had just bought my house and gotten my dog.

I had to get rid of the dog for two reasons. She was jumping the fence and I didn't have the money to put up an 8 foot fence. She ended up in a rescue, though, so she's safe. The other reason is that I am getting married, and had some concerns because my better half has 4 boys. They are 9, 7, 3, and 2... and they ADORE me. I met her about 13 years ago when we both worked together. We were good friends for a couple years, but I left for the Navy. I hadn't seen her for ten years, and they we ran into each other at church... and the rest is history.

We're getting married on Feb 8, and we're both extremely excited as are the boys. Three years ago I never thought I'd be here. Thanks to everyone that helped me through the hard times!
