Sometimes you need to get a Sitter

Sawyer my oldest is now a freshman in High School and though all of my kids get along fairly well, I would choose not to give him the responsibility of watching his younger siblings. Parker age 12 has Asperger's Syndrome and Alexa is 10. Kids at that age will get in arguments and quarrel regardless of Asperger's Syndrome. So there are times that you need to get a sitter so you can go out on the town with the hottest of ladies and not have to worry as much.


Lana is such an amazing lady and I am blessed to be her man. She looks at life as a mother of a cancer survivor. (Her Daughter has been Cancer free since 4 years old and is now 12) When your child is diognosed with a terminal disease, your outlook is different and the little things that would bother most, do not bother her because she has been through so much. Last week we went to the Stanislaus County Society for Handicapped Fund Raiser. http://www.societyforhandicapped.org/ It was a black tie event but when you cannot afford a tux, you go to Ross and pick out a really nice tie for $9.99 and make it look like a million.


Lana, Thanks for a wonderful time and thank you for making me look so good. I thank God daily that you are in my life. I love you so much!

Summer is coming and my gut is huge!!!



It started on Thanksgiving and never stopped! In fact, Newtons law was in full effect and my body stayed at rest. Let me back up even further! I met an amazing lady about 2 years ago and started hanging out with her on June 16th and never stopped. When I met her I was 200lbs. Give or take a few bags of Chips and Salsa (Which BTW is the greatest food ever created! I just can't stop once I start.)

She asked me out to a cooking party that was at a friends house. She told me that it would be fun and she would like it if I could accompany her. What's a single guy to do when you get asked out by a hot single successful Christian business woman? You accept the invite and hope that it goes well. It went well! As a father of three incredible kids, I need to be careful of who I date, who I am seen with and I have to be on good behavior all the time. The Apostle Paul wrote: "Watch your life and doctrine closely. That way you can save yourself and the three amazing kids that God entrusted you with." SPRSV (Single Parent Revised Standard Version) We went out a second time and a third time and we have never stopped going out! There is a by-product to the great times and that is my size! I have gained 24 lbs. since I started going out with her. Here is a picture of me when we first started dating. I don't look too bad but still at this weight I am about 10lbs over weight according to the BMI that Kaiser has. I decided to not only start an exercise program today but I also decided to blog my exercise efforts and my set backs. As always these blogs will be done as first drafts and with no post publishing edits.

BTW The amazing lady that I am dating makes me so happy and loves me for who I am. I am truly blessed to be in her company. She likes me for the way that God made me. With all of my defects and insecurities. God! Thank you so much for bringing her into my life but forgive me for being so happy that I now look like this. I will keep posting as inspiration hits me.
