One door closes...
Just over 2 weeks after my lay off & I was offered a higher paying job with better benefits! Becky & I weren't too worried about the lay off because we just had a feeling that everything would work out & it did. You just have to have faith in yourself & we do. I'll be an admissions director for South University Online, helping people further their education... Sounds like a sweet gig to me.

Life is good...
I was laid off last week. The kicker is that I actually love my job which makes it that much worse. As you know, Becky & I work together; She was told that she will eventually be laid off as well. We'll be ok as I know it's just a blessing in disguise. Since this has happened, we have taken notice of the important things in life... The special little things that make our family happy...
- Playing board games & practicing dance with Kaidence.
- Watching Kennedee learn how to crawl & eat peaches.
- Holding my wife and knowing that we all love each other so much.
- Gardening as a family.
Here's a picture of how our vegetable garden looks currently. I hope that everyone who might read this is doing well & enjoying their own small blessings.

I love my girls!
My girls. What can I say...
Becky puts up with me talking about politics too much. (I am SO excited about Obama's National Security Team)
We have a King size bed, but I get exactly 11.25 inches of the left side of it as Kaidence needs to sleep with her daddy & she takes up most of the bed.
My little Princess Kennedee gives the biggest stretch when she wakes up & then gives me a smile when she opens her eyes. Today, when I woke up... I Stretched... & smiled thinking about how lucky I am to be sharing my life with these wonderful girls.
Becky & I have made a compromise about Twilight. On Friday, I get an ENTIRE day of fishing at the lake... If I bring Twilight with me to read.

Do they look alike?
I have been asked several times as I am sure many new moms are....Does the new baby look like the first baby? So I decided I would put a post up to let the public decide! Kaidence is in the car seat and is about a month older than Kennedee.
Who makes the best adult diapers?
Depends, Attends... Are they really like Diapers or are they like pullups? I digress...
I am old. It's cool, whatever. At least I'm not like 1/2 of the people in this room who are too ugly to even be in a soap opera. (extra points if you know that quote).
When I was a kid I used to go to concerts all of the time... like every night. The owner of the Marquee Theater has given me 2 tickets to any show this year. This is what got me feeling old originally. I took a look at their schedule to find a concert.
5 out of 7 concerts are out because if I don't get to bed before 9:00 on weekdays I'm cranky.
1/2 of the bands- I have absolutely no idea who they are
Metal- Too loud for me
Techno- Seriously? Shouldnt this be in a warehouse somewhere downtown
The only punk band playing is made up of 17 year olds- Sorry, just can't do it.
Rap- Seriously, I'd look like someone took their dad.
So, there's my dilemma. This also got me thinking about the things that are exciting to me right now... Which set my "being old" in carbonite. I'm so old, my wife doesn't even get that reference.
What's exciting in my life right now (besides my 3 beautiful girls):
1. I lost 2.5 lbs by eating performance enhancing nachos
2. We planted a garden! (pictured below)
3. My favorite lake is being stocked with trout next week!
4. I am fully stocked on those "regularity" yogurts
5. I found a freaking hilarious halloween costume
6. I hit my thumb with a hammer last night & now it's purple
Seriously dude. Seriously.
So, to help anyone who might read this also feel old I've included the following quotes. Every quote that you know means you are 1 year closer to adult diapers:
1. I have been trying this new fat free diet I invented. All I've had to eat for the past six days are gummy bears, jelly beans, and candy corns.
2. Relax, would you? We have fifty dollars and a pair of girls underpants. We're safe as kittens.
3. I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way.
4. You shot the invisible swordsman!
