Updates...

Last post... June 2013.  Awesome.  I owe you all some updates!  Yes I realize that "you all" refers to probably the 12 people that might read this thing.

So life is never without surprises, it's always throwing curve balls at you.  My own personal life in the last year has been filled with lots of joy and some sadness as well.  I am going to get the sadness out of the way quickly and move on.  Because I have.

My wife and I separated and are divorcing.  The first couple months were really difficult because anyone in that situation tries their hardest to make sense of it, and if they can, fix it.  I tried to fix it, I went farther than I wanted to go to fix it, because to me staying with the woman who I married and spoke sacred vows to was really important to me.  HOWEVER, once you realize it cannot be fixed you start to come down from that place of anger and frustration and see it for what it is.  We were two people who fell for each other quickly and didn't take the time we needed to truly know if we belonged together.  Do I regret it?  Not even a little bit.  She and I were in love, for a long time.  And above all, she gave me Jack.  But as I said, you realize that you may not have been right for each other in the end.  So I moved on.  It was neither easy nor pleasant.  But with the support of family and friends, I did.  I am now MUCH happier and ready to tackle the next chapter of my life... Bring it on world.

THE HAPPY STUFF!
My son Jack turns 1 this month (March 30th).  He is literally the most amazing person in my life.  I cannot imagine my life without him and it's hard to remember life before him.  Those who have children understand that concept. You focus all your energy on being a parent, being a good parent if you can.  And though there are plenty of ups and downs, it is a feeling of pure joy.  In some of my earlier posts I have mentioned being anxious or excited to meet him, and what would be be like?!  HE IS ME!!  The picture below is of both he and I around the same age.  Have I successfully figured out cloning?  Maybe, Maybe I have.

                                                     I am in a bucket, he is not....


I am meeting new people and catching up with old friends.  Life is moving along "swimmingly".  Where will the next couple years take me?  Who knows?  That's the fun!


More to come....
