Me and My Boy!

On Sunday I had a great time hanging out with my son. My daughter was invited to a birthday party so while she was hanging out with her friends I had 3 hours to spend with Alexander. I really enjoyed watching him get excited over the different activities at the Betty Brinn Children's museum. I realized that I don't do that enough with him. I think I am going to start that more.

Weight Loss Challege Update!

Alright I have calculated the information and I now have the winner for round 2 Weight Loss Challenge. Thank you for all those who participated. The results were not that pretty. We had a total of 5 people involved in the challenge and only 2 of them actually lost weight. I guess the rest wanted to donate to the winner.

The Winner is ...........Mike Childers.......come on down you have won the event. So those of us who are losers we will need fork over the money and I will be contacting you individually. And those of us who see Mike will get to hear all the gloating for his victory. You know we only have ourselves to blame for that one. I am up for round 3 if we have any takers. With which I will destroy you all. I was thinking a Thanksgiving to Easter challenge.

We have Finally Moved!

I have finally moved into and closed on a house in Wisconsin. I will work on how to get pictures posted. Maybe if Brain comes over on Saturday I can have him help me. I have noticed some interesting things through the moving process.

1. Pick-n-Save is basically the only Grocery store in the area.
2. I bought a house with a yard that takes me 2+ hours to mow.
3. Unpacking is not very fun.
4. I didn't know I had that ? is an expression that has run ramped around my house.
5. The other expression is Where have you seen that?
6. I still can't find 2 seat cushions
7. Waiting for services is similar to waiting for a flight
8. I am still trying to figure our why I didn't throw aways some things
9. I like having a personal computer
10. I don't think I will be moving again......maybe......

Patterns

Well it has now been about 2 Months since beginning the relocation from South Carolina to Wisconsin. I can say that I can't get into a pattern here. Mostly because I am separated from my family. I truly find it amazing as I reflect how my family grounds me. I miss dynamic that family life offers. I have a a good chance to reflect upon myself. Which is not very fun because my flaws get magnified (which there are so many). I know this is good for me in some ways, but I am hoping that will change soon. I need to establish a pattern that is better that the one I am in now.

Disk Golf - What fun

I was just sick and tired of sitting in my apartment watching TV. I found if very difficult and expensive to bring my golf clubs so I did the next best thing. I took a $25.oo gift certificate from a captain's choice golf outing that I helped my team win and purchased 3 golf disks. I have now gone out 2 times. Now if you would have said to me that you could get sore from throwing a golf disk I would have laughed at you ..... However I stand corrected as it feels like I pitched back to back baseball games. My arm is hanging so low it is dragging on the floor. But I wouldn't change a thing. Where else can you enjoy a nature setting, compete (against yourself and others) and play basically for free. Who wants to play!

She did it!

I am a proud Dad. My daughter can now ride her bike without training wheels. She was ready and determined. I could not help her at all. I could only watch. She was riding on her own after 2 outings. A good thing is that we didn't have any scraped knees as she was learning.

Weight Challege Update

Round 02 is underway and I can say I have already had some good success. I think mostly it is because I just ate way too much on Memorial Day and my body has now adjusted. I almost ate what I wrote. Oh yeah it was good. I had a starting weight of 225. I have a goal of 185 lbs for this round. So that would mean (Kyle needs to lose 45 lbs, Brain needs to lose 44 lbs, Mike needs to loose 38 lbs, and not sure what Jon needs to lose). Wish you well boys....I have a feeling I am going to be looking out my rear view mirror.
