There is a whole website dedicated to "how to's" -- anything from breakdancing to identifying birds to being a strong manager to planning a dinner party. This is craziness!!!

I Am One Spoiled (But Lucky) Man!

My wife irons all my dress shirts (I wear a shirt and tie everyday to work) and pants, cooks my food, cleans my house and still lets me crash on the couch and do nothing but watch TV after work....I am the luckiest guy in the freaking world!!!

BUSTED!!!!

I've been pulled over several times during my life, although not anywhere near the number of times my good friend Andy has. Anyways, you know that feeling you get when you see lights flash behind you, or when you see a cop car turn around after you fly past them? The rush is incredible, isn't it? Tonight, after I finished washing the cars, I noticed flashing lights as I was sitting in my office and looked out the window and this poor lady. Sucker.....

First Car Wash

Today was the first outdoor car wash at our house. Since I live so close to work, I don't really have time to unplug from work like most do. When the weather is nice, I'm able to unplug while working outside. The past few months have not granted me that pleasure. Thank God for warm weather!

Dinner Out

We are on our way out to dinner with Andrea's grandma. It was once such a chore to go out with Jade, but she is doing much better these days. It is weird to think about how she is growing up right before my eyes...

Big Ten Championship Day

We got to Conseco a little early to relax and people watch (which is pretty easy with all the Fan Fest activities going on). I wonder if the place will sell out without any Indiana teams in the game?

Picking Names

Picking a boy's name is hard after picking a perfect name for our little girl, Jadyn. Andrea found a book of a bazillion names to look through....that will be our nightly reading for a while.

Weekend Away Day 2

Unless you live in a hole, I don't need to provide details on the crazy happenings in basketball yesterday. Purdue's loss in overtime, IU's loss on a last second desperation shot by Minnesota, or the crazy weather that blasted a hole in the Georgia Dome....which is causing havoc for the SEC and their ability to get their tourney in before Selection Sunday. WHAT A DAY!!!

I love college sports. Watching the games in the Fieldhouse was great because you get to see the various school colors clumped together throughout the venue. Fans driving from all over to dedicate four days of their life to college basketball. It is truly an amazing event.

Andrea and I are enjoying lunch at the Cheesecake Factory before we continue on our day without a child around. We just finished buying me some shoes and dress shirts...yes, I know, Metrosexual, but I love my clothes.

The Big Ten

My wife and I are spending the weekend in Indy at the Big Ten tournament. I'm trying to enjoy the game without worrying about spectator injury as I'm insuring the event.

Oh, funny story....one of the Michigan players was called for traveling and my wife goes, "Oh, did he fumble?" HAHA

It's A Boy!!!

There was no screwing around with this little guy. Within the first 30 seconds of the ultrasound, he decided to declare his manhood to the world. What a proud moment for Daddy!

A Concerned Little Girl

Jade was worried about her mommy....she continually asked the lady if she was "fixing mommy"....

I Own This Place

Jade seems to think she owns every place she walks into. As you can see, she sat herself down in front of the registration desk for all to see.

Taking A Picture Of Mommy's Tummy

We are at the Dr.'s office today to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. As I was taking a shower, Jade walks in and yells, "we're taking a picture of Mommy's tummy!!!" It's weird going through all of this for a second time. When asking Jade if she want's a little brother or sister she quickly replied.......SISTER!!!

My Office Meets The Office

Today I spent the entire morning in an awards ceremony. Because I'm a visual junkey, I was captivated by the graphics and production side of things. They really go all out. At one point, I was reminded of The Office episode where Dwight Schrute gives his acceptance speech and I nearly started laughing out loud during one of the speeches. Not a good career move...

The second photo is of the Programs Tangle B members for 2007. You'll see my name and a few others from my office on there. This is a special club for those with new production over a certain $$ amount.

Annual Awards Meeting

I'm in Orlando for the annual B&B awards meetings. This year, after the awards night, we took a police escort to see Cirque Du Soleil's La Nouba (2nd photo shows one of the CDS people....they had some of the people "showing" us to the transport). Pretty cool show - but it makes for a long day!

A Long Night And Old Friends

I was up until 3:00 this morning finishing the youth website and a video for church. Needless to say, I was dead tired going to church. I ran into a few old friends of mine who wanted to go out to eat with me, my wife and my daughter. Isn't it great to have friends who come in and save the day without even knowing it?

The Great Porn Debate

I watched this on abcnews.com (click HERE to view the full debate).  Pretty interesting stuff.

Crazy bit of info...Craig Gross bought my first house in Huntington with David Dean to use as a rental for college students....
