A New Year That Brings A New Life Style Change

So 2011 has just begun. I have been looking forward to this year for what seems a long time now. This is the year that I separate from the Air Force. I have been sitting at my desk thinking about it...yet again... and a second wave of realization has hit me. I am getting out of a job that I have known for a little over 9 years now. The only job and life style I have really known since being on my own. I have a lot to do and a lot to prepare. Just happens that right now I am on stand still as I am waiting for certain things to happen in order for me to continue. I am waiting for a friend to submit my resume with a company so I can begin looking for a job and I am waiting on the Air Force to approve my seperation date so I can begin the paperwork process of seperating the Air Force.
About 155 days until I begin my terminal leave, that is 155 days to get all my ducks in a row. Looking at it, that is not a lot of time to get everything done. I am kind of glad for that though as it will help pass the time quickly. I am sure as the time gets closer, I will be wanting to desperately push on the brakes, but for now that is good.
I am excited, scared, happy, etc. A lot of unknowns but me and my family are more than ready for the change and the opportunities that lay before us.
2011 is going to be an interesting year, a year I will always remember. Bring it on 2011...I have been waiting a long time for you.

It's Been a While!!

Ok, it has been a while since I have posted any new posts. Every once in a while Life decides to throw a lot of curveballs all at once. The last few months for me have been nothing but curveball after curveball. It has been one of the more stressful times in my life. I probably should have kept posting as it would have offered a more healthy way of dealing with the stress. I instead shut down, bottled everything up and bit by bit began working on what I needed to inorder to get life back on track. I have never been accused of always making the right choices. :) Oh well, whats done is done and the point is I am back on. To say I got knocked on my backside would be an improvement. I got straight beat down, run through the mud, backed up on, repeated cycle, etc. Yet sometimes in life we need these times in order to realize what we have been doing wrong and fix them before its too late. Now I am a Christian and believe very much in God. So for me it was more than life just throwing cu...

My Dog's a Tattle-Tale!

So, an incredibly funny thing happened last night that I have to share. I am seeing now why they say that dogs are mans best friend. I have two dogs...well I have a dog and my wife has a dog. My dog is a Beagle mixed with Basset.  He is a good dog, very protective of the family and yet one of the most sentimental dogs I have ever seen. For instance if one of us is sick in the house or sad, he picks up on that and stays near them until they feel better. He is very loyal as well. As long as everyone is fine, he is never very far from me and if I move around the house, he is typically not far away. The only time he is not near me is at night, when he decides its bed time. Then he goes to the pillow in my bedroom and stays there the rest of night no matter what I do or where I go. That is his way of him saying, "You're on your own dad, I need my beauty rest." He a good dog and we are a perfect match. My wifes dog is a Yorkie. A ten pound, yappy lap dog. At first I hated thi...

I am Back With What Men Think....

Novemeber was last time a wrote anything and now its almost the end of June. Where has the time gone? I guess time flies when you work as much as you can, take care of the family, bills, house, etc. Blink twice and a year goes by. After hitting a proverbial brick wall recently, I learned that it doesn't matter how strong you are, the mental stamina one might have...everyone needs a break at some point, time to just unplug and take some time for themselves. So I took a couple of days off work and did absolutely nothing and am now using this blog to continue what I had been wanting to do with it, as well as, use it to take a little bit of time for myself here and there and do something I enjoy while the rest of the world waits for me to finish (as long as its not an emergency that arises). I have been reading the news as I always do and have noticed there seems to be an increase in articles for women based on what men think. Most I agree with but s...
