30 Jan 2011DJ uploaded 6 pictures yesterday. Check them out.- 19 Jan 2011Halfway there... almostTomorrow mark 3 weeks until I graduate from the NCO Academy. This weekend mark the halfway point, and to celebrate I am coming home for the weekend. 11 hours of round trip driving is a small price to pay to see my awesome wife for a couple days. I very much look forward to the break from this place. It is stressful at times, and generally unfun as all military training environments tend to be.

31 Dec 20102011 - Starts out with SeparationDJ will be leaving me on January 3rd for NCO Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee. He will be there for a total of 6 weeks. Thankfully, he will be able to come back and visit. I will be responsible for our 4 furry babies which can sometimes be a challenge. It is the cooking and cleaning that is even worse. DJ spoils me and I LOVE it that way. My employer will keep me busy in January. I am moving to a new off-site warehouse and there are many questions how this will change my job. I am so happy I love my job. I wish everyone the best for 2010!

- 26 Nov 2010The Game is tomorrowThe annual Michigan vs. Ohio State match up happens again tomorrow. Once again, Michigan is given very little chance to win. Michigan can make its season tomorrow, or, regardless of the bowl result, have a slightly disappointing one. I just hope our offense has the ball with a chance to win late.
Kelley and I have been doing awesome in our fitness routine lately - I am nearly in the best shape of my life, or at least since I was 16. We have been running outside in 60+ degree weather despite it being late November. Crazy weather!

- 6 Nov 2010Big events around the cornerBig news: I'll be going to the Air Force NCO Academy from January 4th until February 10th. It is at some AF National Guard base in Tennessee, around 6 hours from Augusta. I am not a fan of being away from Kelley and home for 6 weeks, but we knew this was coming eventually so why not get it over with.
I recently scored an 88.1 on my fitness test, a huge accomplishment considering I had never scored better than 79.5 before now. If I complete the 1.5 mile run 7 seconds faster and do 2 more push ups, I'll get a 90 and be considered in excellent shape. That is my goal for next April.
Michigan won its first football game in a month and will be going to a bowl game this year again, finally!

- 9 Oct 2010Good things must end eventuallyMichigan lost its first football game of the season today to its hated rival, Michigan State. That really stinks, but I knew Michigan was going to lose some games this year.
I won NCO of the Quarter for my squadron for the third quarter, 2010. I haven't done that since 2006, so that is pretty cool. I also weight the least that I have since near that same time. Good timing on that since my PT test is in a little over 2 weeks. Overall things are going well!
Comment on/rate this... - 13 Sep 2010At least change is always constantSeems like out situation is constantly changing. Not always in bad ways, not even close, but in unexpected ways many times. Kelley has decided not to pursue her Masters degree after all. 3 years of misery is not her idea of a good time and I agree. We started a bowling league last night after 1 year off and I did terribly, but Kelley did well. I have a new computer on the way and I pretty stoked about it. I start teaching my first class all by myself in 2 weeks. Work is hectic, but not too bad. We are starting to invest with a financial adviser - craziness!

I hope that it will provide me with knowledge to understand clearly how international business began and where it is going. I believe that after gaining this knowledge, I can play a more active role in my current position as well as make me increasingly marketable for the future. I am not certain as to what opportunities this degree will open, but I hope to one day be a manager.

- 7 Aug 2010We Win!My wonderful mother called me this afternoon and told me the 2009 Rose Bowl was airing on the Big Ten Network. She wanted to give me an opportunity to watch the Buckeyes beat Oregon one more time. I enjoyed the game. I found myself cheering when we scored as if I was watching the game live. I found

There are five necessary things in life I heard someone say: food,
Read the rest... - 3 Jul 2010June recapWow, June was an interesting month. I started back to work after a 4 week layoff at the end of May, so getting back into the groove at work took much of June. It was also super hot here in Augusta for pretty much the whole month. We saw a couple good movies - The A-Team (super awesome) and Toy Story 3 (good). We went to Atlanta to see the Tigers come to town and lose on a bad call in the 9th inning. The umpire even admitted as much after the game.
I went to Denver for a class at the end of June, and just got back yesterday. It was a nice experience, mostly because I got to see my sister Tracy and my two nephews. My hotel was really nice also - my room was a suite!
Our tenants in our rental home finally moved out yesterday and left the house a dump. Luckily, we have a good property manager who is helping us get things cleaned up before our next tenant comes in. We are probably going to have to spend at least $1,000 to get it move-in ready, though. Ah, the joys of being a rental property owner! We are looking forward to a great July!
