Thirty

Farrah keeps harassing me to post about my birthday, but I keep forgetting to do it. It’s just one of those things that happens when you get old. :p

Yup, on July 8th I turned thirty. Not much more to say about it. lol My mother and brother came in from Nashville to visit over that weekend, and I grilled out on Saturday and ate way more food than any normal person should. It really wasn’t the ideal situation for someone that is limited to a ~2000 calorie diet while trying to loose weight.

But it was a special occasion, and I enjoyed having the family around, so it was all good. :)  Thanks for everyone who sent in birthday wishes on Twitter and Facebook!

It Has Been Six Years

June 11, 2004 a date which will live in infamy… no wait, that was something else. Six years ago, Farrah and I said our “I Do’s” and started our happy lives together. That beautiful, blushing bride is still the most beautiful woman in the world to me. I love her so much, and I’m thankful for every day I have with her.

Home Alone

My wife is an amazing woman, and I love her dearly. Today she left out with one of her girl friends as they hike a 60.1 mile section of the Sheltowee Trace. If the hike goes without incident, a rarity for them, they should reach their end point on Saturday or Sunday. She’s been excited about the hike since they started to plan it over a month ago.

I doub’t she’d admit it, but I really think this is her version of payback. I left her home alone for a week back in January while I went to Las Vegas for CES. While I enjoyed CES and hanging out with the crew from OCC, I would much rather be out there hiking. Ahh well, maybe after I get all the bills paid off, I’ll be able to hike the AT. Ha! Like I’d be able to put off everything in my life for six months while I did that. I still don’t understand how people are able to do that.

Anyway, I wish my wife and her trail mate a safe hike. I love her and hope she hurries back. It’s going to be a long 5-6 days.
