Well, I’ve been pretty busy lately with working overtime and spending time with the family. Over the past few months a lot has happened, but nothing to the effect of life changing proportions. Anyway, I’ll sum up things up more or less for historical retrospect for myself.
During April…well now that I come to think of it, I don’t remember anything I did during that month. In June, my brother, David, got married to Amy. I was my brother’s best man and that was a fun experience. The wedding itself was nice and I had to do a couple announcements/toasts afterwards, which I did surprisingly well at considering I’m not a fan of public speaking. I also started back up my GameFly subscription since its been about a year and some games I have been wanting to play are out now. Funny thing is, I swore I wouldn’t subscribe again until GameFly established a distribution center on the East Coast, but I figured how to speed up the turn around time a bit. You can check out the Games section of the site for comments on some of the games I have been playing lately. I’m still updating that though.
Not much really happened during the months of July and August. In September, Emma started preschool and turned two years old. She definetly has a different temperament than Bethany and can be very stubborn headed at times. Bethany also started back at the same time and goes three days a week now instead of two. We also visited the Georgia Aquarium during this time and about the only thing I really liked that was huge tank with all the Stingrays, Whale Sharks, etc. Other than that, the Tennesse Aquarium has them beat on variety and such I believe or at least it seemed like there was more to see.
Now here we are at October. Me and Rebecca will be celebrating our six year anniversary in exactly one week. It really doesn’t seem like six years, but that just goes to show how fast life can pass you by at times. I still love her a lot and I’m glad I found someone who can put up with my geek-like ways. She’s been a great mother to our three girls and hopefully one day the girls will realize that as well and keep a strong relationship with her. I try to help her out as much as I can, but its still probably not enough and over time I expect to improve in that.
Anyway, that’s pretty much what we have been up to. Nothing exciting or exotic, but I don’t for a minute take that for granted due to how much worse things could be. This also now brings me to why I entitled this log as I did. You see, recently Rebecca has become more internet savvy and found that bane of a site called MySpace. I dislike that site so much, but I won’t resort to ranting about that now. As a result, she has come in touch with a handful of people we knew in high school. Its rather interesting how most of them turned out and their current situation in life. I thought some of them would have done a lot better, but most seem content and happy from their blogs/comments on there. The really weird thing is or that I’m surprised by is how many no longer seem to know God like they did in high school.
I’m far from perfect, but I still love God and know that he is the reason where I am today. Plus, the things I learned from high school and were instilled in me by my parents have brought me to this spot as well. I only hope that I am able to do the same for my girls. My greatest fear I think is that my daughters might grow up one day to reject the values me and Rebecca share. I don’t want it to all have been for naught. Anyway, I’ll probably start a thread over in the Forums to keep track so to speak and maybe restablish some of those relationships. But for me, I was never really close with anyone in high school (ie. kept in touch after high school, developed a relationship outside of common events like baseball, classes, etc.) except my wife. I fit very well into that “geek” or “computer nerd” stereotype, but I never let it bother me, because I knew it wasn’t them that I had to gain acceptance of or do right by, but God.
