In January I started eating better and working out. Last week I stepped on the scale to see 306. That’s down 16 lbs from where I started just a few weeks ago. I’m getting there, headed in the right direction. I’ll probably check weight/body fat one more time before I go on hiatus [...]
Two weeks ago yesterday I started actually doing something about my weight and how I felt. As of today, I’ve lost 10lbs and dropped 4% body fat.
I’m pretty excited about this. I already feel better and I can tell my middle is thinning out.
My buddy Jon [...]
It has now been almost 5 years since I have played football, and I’m still at my playing weight. You may think, “Hey, that’s great. You haven’t gained a bunch of extra weight.” The truth is that 322lbs is not a healthy weight for a 31 year old man, husband, and father of 4 (5 [...]
Today I was frustrated. Frustrated that my Bride had a different agenda in mind for my morning that I did. Frustrated that expectations were put on me that I didn’t necessarily know about or agree to.
I was frustrated.
Then I realized, as I talked it out with God on my way to the office, [...]
I felt the baby kick for the first time tonight. It never gets old. It’s an amazimg thing, to me, that a little person grows inside of our wives. Amazing!
Oh, in case you didn’t know… Kristie is pregnant again with our fourth. We are due in early March, well….. she is.
We [...]

We also just bought a house in Normal. hopefully we’ll close around the beginning of November. Timing will be tricky though, we have several things floating around the weekends end [...]
Just when I said I was going to post more often, I slack for over a month. Anyway, I’m up late tonight because Kristie is out making Bulk Meals with some girlfriends. This is a HUGE deal for our family. It keeps our freezer full and costs down. Plus, there are some really good meals [...]
Oh man, it’s been a long time since I’ve written on here… months.
So, kids and family are doing well. I’ve been busy with work. We’re trying to make the most of this summer and do things in St. Louis that we haven’t done before.
We’re trying to watch less TV (Tivo is off now) [...]
My kids are so sweet, and they come up with some of the funniest, cutest things to say. A few days ago, we were eating dinner and Emmry reached her hand over to me ( I was sitting next to her ) and said something.
“What did you say Sweetie?”
“You my bes fwiend, Daddy.”

That’s right, AndroidTapp.com is giving away a brand new G1 phone to a randomly selected winner (me) in January. I’m pretty excited about Android and have been following it for quite a while now. I’m a HUGE fan of open source products and use a ton of them on my computers. [...]
Wow… it’s been a few days since my last update. Since then several things have happened…
Caleb had a birthday, Emmry had a birthday, and I got a job! I started working with an energy efficiency management firm this month. It’s going well so far and I’m excited about affecting change in the stewardship of [...]
Yesterday was a big day around here. 30 years have come and gone and I’m that much older and wiser. The funny thing is, I don’t feel like I’m 30. It didn’t come over as the milestone I’ve been picturing it to be.
It could be a lot of things really. It’s strange not [...]
