The Bucket List

Kellie and I watched the movie the Bucket List Saturday night. it was kind of depressing, and we didn't have the normal conversation of what would be on our bucket lists, since I knew a few of yours I want to share a couple of mine so far.

1. I would like to take formal dance lessons, and take my wife out somewhere where we would actually dance the waltz, or the fox trot or whatever.

2. Skydive (everyone who knows me knows this is something I've always wanted to do).

3. See the Grand Canyon again.

4. Make a difference.

These are a few I have come up with. Love ya guy.

Starting Over

I have started working out again. I started Monday so today is the 3rd day. I have lost some of my prowess, but I am motivated to stick to it. I need a little extra push with the diet but I am trying. The Spartans lost their bowl game, but the basketball team beat Ohio last night so I have a little bit of sports happiness. Mom and I both had an engine scare with our cars. Mine was an overheating problem that did not cause any engine damage, and mom ended up only needing a $300 repair. We both were afraid we would need new engines. Tanis has started to really get into board games and doesn't want to believe that he is too young for any of them. Love ya guy.

Going Behind Bars For Good

I have been tapped to spend an hour raising funds for MDA. They are locking me up on January 22nd. Anyone who would like can help me ahead of time by following the link and making a donation. Thank you if you can help.

A New Year

A fresh year starts today. I think I can come out of my funk now. I am ready to start my diet back up and re-start my workouts. A new year began today. I like the first day of a new year because it gives us an opportunity to look forward. It is a clean slate full of possibilities. I wonder what will happen. What will I see and do. I guess this is the part where i share what I hope to see happen in this next year. I hope to see all of us get serious about getting healthy(mom, Cheri, Alex and I). I hope to take my family on a vacation this year, even if it is only for a camping trip. I hope to become better financially (even though that will be very tough this year). I plan to grow in my faith. I plan to strengthen my marriage, and my family. I hope to increase the size of my family. I hope to start a hobby just for me with just me time involved. I hope to slow time down once in awhile and truly learn to enjoy the moment. I hope to become a better friend, and neighbor. I hope to increase sales and keep my company growing. I hope to talk to you a little more often. I plan on getting my conceal carry permit. I plan on not leaving things unsaid. Love ya guy.

The Lions

You died Friday Novemeber 2nd, 2007, on Sunday Novermber 4th 2007 the Lions won a football game. That was the last regular season game they have won since you passed. They went this last year 0 and 16. That makes them the worst team in the history of the NFL. Now I don't know what to think of this, but it seems maybe you were a lucky charm for them or something. As I write this the Spartans are playing in their bowl game. They are losing 10 to 6, if you could send them some luck I would appreciate it. I miss you. Love ya guy.
