Credit Card Search

Finding the right credit card can be stressful. I mean, there are so many out there. I recently learned of the site CreditCardSearchEngine.com. They are the internet's longest running site for online credit card comparison and can help you find the right card and fill out Credit Card Applications. Whether you're looking for something that offers rewards, low interest or something else...this site will help. They offer the leading issuers such as JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Visa and many more. Take a look at their site today and find the right card for you and your situation. I did and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Getting Stronger Each Day

Kaelyn is getting so strong. She can hold her head up so well when she's on her tummy. She can also push off with her feet if she has them against something!! This morning I woke up to find that she actually wiggled out of all of her blankets and even moved to the top of her bassinet. She has much more power in her legs and finds a way to move them and kick off all of her blankets. She's changing so fast!!

Ford Escape

Jen and I are pretty excited because we're planning on selling our car and possibly getting a newer one that doesn't have so many miles. We're looking at an SUV which would be great for us now that we have a baby especially. We're not in any hurry...so we're just waiting on God's timing. I'm just glad that it's going to work out to get it when the timing is right! The Lord is good.:)

Radiators.com

Lately I've been on the web finding all kinds of car sites. Mainly because I'm helping my in-laws look for a new vehicle. As I was browsing for vehicles though, I came across the site Radiators.com. This is the largest radiator distributor in the country and well known for the selection of radiators that they offer. They have radiators for ever make and model. Whether you're looking for BMW or Toyota...this is your one stop shop for all your radiator needs. They offer quality products at prices that you'll love! If you'd like to learn more about this site, a Honda Radiator and about the unlimited lifetime warranty they offer...take a look at their site today.

Basement Projects

Jen and I are pretty excited because we're getting some things done in our basement. When we moved in our house it was almost completely unfinished. We're slowly working on things here and there...and so far we've gotten some furniture moved in and lots of painting done! The next thing to do is buy some carpet and get a shower. We were looking into carpet and it's actually going to be much cheaper than what we had thought. We don't be doing it real soon...but I'm excited that it will be happening sooner than later! It will look so nice down there!

Grocery Time

Jen and I really need to get groceries today. We've been putting it off because we weren't around for a few days due to the holidays, but now that we're back at home...we've been noticing how bare our cupboards and fridge really are. I think we're going to work on the grocery list in a while and try and head to walmart before it gets dark out. I may just go and get them so we don't have to take Kaelyn out in this cold weather.

LilaGuide.com

Now that we have a baby, we're seeing how much we need to buy and do. One thing that my wife and I always like to do is research things before we buy them or do them. In researching, I recently came across a site that helps parents find local baby shops, gear and services...as well as offering them real parent reviews and advice. Lilaguide.com is the site, and they're an addition to the very well known wedding site, The Knot. I was really excited to find a site like this...as we love getting honest opinions from others who have used the products or services that we're looking into. If you're a new parents and need a little guidance in finding the right activities or products...this site can help. Take a look today and see what you think.

Snowy Day

I didn't know it was supposed to be so cold today. I didn't even know it was supposed to snow...but we walked out of church today and saw it falling. It's not a really heavy snow or anything, but just enough to cover the roads a bit. I don't think I should have to shovel anytime too soon...but I'm not sure I want to be driving out and about in this weather. We'll have to see...but I'm thinking hanging out at home would be best.

Sleeping Beauty

One of my favorite things to do when I get the chance is just sit and watch our little girl as she sleeps. She's so adorable! She makes all these little facial expressions...smiling, frowning, etc. She's just so animated when she's sleeping. She even mores her arms and legs around a lot while she sleeps. My wife and I will wake up in the morning and she will have kicked off most of her blankets. She's quite the active sleeper and so fun to watch.

Wedding Planning

I remember a few years ago when my wife and I were planning our wedding how stressful it was. I mean it was fun...but there is just so many details and things that go into a wedding...it gets to being a little overwhelming at times. Jen did such a good job and her mom helped lots too. One thing I wish we would have known about though is WeddingChannel.com. This is a great site that helps out brides and grooms who are planning a wedding. They offer planning tools, photos, advice and a registry system as well. There's so many helpful things on this site...too many for any bride or groom to pass up. If you or someone you know is planning a wedding...take a look at this site today!

Family

Last night it was sure nice...Jen's brother and his girlfriend came up with Zoe to see Kaelyn. Jake is such a good uncle and really enjoys spending time with his new little niece. She was in a pretty good mood while they were here....playing and smiling. I'm glad that she has such a loving family that surrounds her. She's a very lucky and blessed little girl with a family who loves her very much!!

What a nice break!

This week sure has been nice. I normally don't get much time off from work...but this past week I took the whole week off. I got to spend time with Jen and Kaelyn as well as our families which was so nice! I got plenty of time to relax as well which was much needed after the long busy season that we had. I really enjoy spending time Jen and Kaelyn and am planning on taking off more time this winter.

Karisma

If you're looking for a wonderful and relaxing vacation, maybe you should consider Karisma Hotels, located on the beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya. From everything I"ve heard about Riviera Maya Resorts, it sounds wonderful! They now offer a new gourmet-inclusive concept, which is perfect for anyone like myself who loves food! They offer a high quality of service and truly amazing food! Here is where you'll also find accommodations and entertainment that won't be found anywhere else. If you're ready for a relaxing vacation this winter, take a look at Karisma. I'm definitely planning on it and I think you should as well.

So Cute!

Jen's parents bought Kaelyn the cutest little dress. We are going to have her wear it church on Sunday, so we thought we'd have her try it on just to make sure it fits. WE put it on her and she looked absolutely adorable. Since she's only two months old, she has never worn a dress yet. We were just oooing and awwing over her. What a cutie with her little tights and and shoes on. I can't wait to have her wear it to church. She may even wear it to one of the Christmas's we go to.

Almost Time

YYYEEAAHHH! I cannot explain how happy I am that today is my last day of work before a long break that I took off for the holidays. It's been way too long since I was able to take some time off from work...and now I get over a week to spend time with my family! I can't wait! It's going to be so wonderful. I think everyone needs a little vacation time and a break to refresh and relax. Only about 7 hours and counting!!

Capella

Have you ever considered going back to school? Maybe you have, but think that with your schedule it would be too difficult?! Well, now you can with capella university because they are a fully accredited online university. You can do your work from home, which is nice for anyone with a busy schedule. I've been strongly considering going back to get my masters, and Capella is somewhere that I'm looking very seriously. They offer a variety of master's programs, as well as undergraduate programs. I trust that they are a good school, because they are continually growing, as of now having nearly 20000 students from all over the world. I am really excited to have found a school like this and wanted to share it with my readers in case you're looking for something similar. Take a look at their site to learn more.

Time Off

Do you ever wonder where the time goes? I wake up pretty early and before I know it it's already half way through the day. I can't believe how quickly the day goes by. I guess that's what happens when you're constantly busy doing something though. Oh well. I guess that's how it goes. Hopefully time won't go quite as quickly when I have some time off from work. I'd like it to go slowly so I can enjoy it a bit.

Truly Blessed

I am getting so excited to have a new vehicle. It sounds like we may have a buyer for our car which is wonderful! God is good. He always seems to work everything out. Sometimes it's difficult not to get impatient with things, but I know that God works in His time, and His plan is the best for us. I am just happy that He's going to make it possible for us to get a new vehicle in the near future!! We are truly blessed.

Capella

Capella University is a fully accredited online university that allows people to get a higher education from the comfort of their own home. When you're working and busy with life, it's difficult to find time to go to school...but Capella makes it easy by offering a variety of degree programs online. Recently they released an Inside Online Education podcast on their website where Dr. Christ Cassirer discusses how Capella is the only online university to receive accreditation from CACREP. This is huge for this school and I was very impressed to find that out. If you're interested in learning more about Capella and all that they have to offer you, maybe a masters degree in counseling perhaps...take a look at their site today.

Work to do

Tonight is going to be very busy! Jen and I have a lot of cleaning to get done, and we also are going to paint our basement bathroom. The reason why we have to get it all done tonight is because tomorrow Jen's family is coming up and we want to be able to spend as much time with them as possible. Then after that almost every day we have a family Christmas to go to. It's ok...we'll just have to get right to work tonight and make sure that everything gets done. Jen is going to try and do some of it today while I'm at work, but I told her I'd help her out as much as I can tonight.

It will be great!

I'm SO looking forward to having some time off from work. Working for months and months without any time off has been pretty overwhelming. I know the holidays will be a busy time, but I'll be happy just to be off from work and able to spend some time with my family. Jen and I may even go shopping one day or something. Who knows. All I know is I'll be happy as long as I'm able to spend some time with Kaelyn and her! It will be great!

Silver

Monex Deposit Company has been around for over 30 years and is known as America's leader when it comes to gold, silver, and other precious metals for investment. I'm sure many have heard all about them. For those that haven't though, they make it possible for you to purchase gold, silver and other precious metals for personal delivery or delivery to a safe storage place, like a bank or depository. I'm telling you all this now because now is the time to invest in silver bullion. The world demand for it exceeds it's annual production. If you're interested in learning more about Monex Companies and how you can get involved in investments with them...take a look at their site today.

All Done

Wow...I can't believe it's already another work week. Where do the weekends go?? I do feel like we got a lot accomplished this weekend though...which is really a good feeling. I got the basement painted, and now all I have left is the bathroom down there. I think I may do that tonight or something. It sure likes nice now that it's all painted!! What a good feeling!! I know Jen is going to be wanting to get carpet down there at some point now that it's all painted, but we're not in any hurry to do that right now. We'll just see how the money situation goes.

New Car

Jen and I are pretty excited because we're planning on selling our car and possibly getting a newer one that doesn't have so many miles. We're looking at an SUV which would be great for us now that we have a baby especially. We're not in any hurry...so we're just waiting on God's timing. I'm just glad that it's going to work out to get it when the timing is right! The Lord is good.:)

Truck Accessories

Have you ever heard of Buyautotruckaccessories.com before? I never had until just recently and wanted to share it with any readers who might be interested in checking it out. It's a great site that offers a nice selection of bull bars from well known, quality manufacturers like Steelcraft and T & H. I was really impressed, not only with the quality of the bull bar that this site offers, but also their prices. They have the lowest guaranteed prices around. You should definitely check them out and see what you think!! They have a very nice site...laid out very nicely so it's easy for you to find all the things you're needing to find. It's very user friendly which I really appreciate it when it comes to a site like this and I know you will too!

Very Busy

Today has already been a long day for me...and it's not even noon yet! I started out my day at 7 this morning, heading to my dad's to help him hang some drywall in the bathroom he's remodeling at his house. Then, I hurried back home to take a shower and get ready to go ring bells for the Salvation Army for two hours. Now I'm home and getting ready to start painting our basement. I'd like to have a little time to relax...so hopefully painting doesn't take me too long.

So Strong

Kaelyn is getting so strong. She can hold her head up so well when she's on her tummy. She can also push off with her feet if she has them against something!! This morning I woke up to find that she actually wiggled out of all of her blankets and even moved to the top of her bassinet. She has much more power in her legs and finds a way to move them and kick off all of her blankets. She's changing so fast!!

VoIP

Xpander Communication is a company that is known for their VoIP Call Center Phone Systems. I'm sure you knew that already, but did you know about their new Nimbus VoIP Call Center Edition? It's a new thing that they recently talked about in a web release, that basically improves the way the old phone systems used to work and get set up. It helps customers save money and get their phone systems installed in a timely manner...within 7 business days!! I thought that was great. There is also no additional investment for moving or adding. I was pretty impressed with Nimbus and I think you will be as well. Take a look at the site today to learn more.

Feeling Better

I was having such bad back pain the past couple of days that I finally decided to go to the chiropractor yesterday afternoon. I definitely feel so much better!! He told me that I must have just knocked something out of place or something, because after he helped realign things I feel a whole lot better and actually got some good sleep last night. I have to go back one more time and then I should be good to go!

Great Kids Toys

Jen and I were out last night looking for a gift for Kaelyn for Christmas. Since this is our first baby, we really didn't know what they all had for such a young baby...but boy is there a lot! They make some really neat learning toys that babies can use as early as a few months old to start learning colors, numbers etc. I think it's great that there are toys like this out there. Jenna, as a teacher, really thinks it's great as well!

Wholesale Flowers

I would say that in planning our wedding, the flowers was one of the most stressful parts. Not only did we want them to look nice and stay fresh from the time we got them until the wedding...but we also wanted to be able to afford the things that we wanted to get. I wish that we would have known about FiftyFlowers.com when we were planning our wedding. It would have allowed us to have more fun planning the flowers part and not stress so much over the money. You see, with this site they offer affordable options for people who are planning wedding events. They make it easy to get all kinds of flowers, including wholesale roses. If you'd like to learn more about this site and the great flowers they offer...take a look today!

Gifts for Kaelyn

Jen and I are pretty excited because each of our parents asked us what we'd like them to get for Kaelyn for Christmas. Her parents are getting Kaelyn a great highchair that we know we will be using before we know it!! I guess it's very nice and one that will last a very long time. My mom is going to be buying her a Jumperoo and I know this is something Kaelyn will get much use out of as well! I'm not sure what my dad is buying her...but i know it's something from Little Tikes...so I'm sure it will be very nice as well!

Online Banking

Jen does all of our banking online. I mean, she keeps track of things in the register too...but online is where she does all of the money transfers and things. I guess one of the bank accounts online thing isn't working right now and it's really frustrating for her. She has work that she needs to do on there and it's hard when it's out of order at the moment. Hopefully they get it up and running soon!

Orlando

I often write about how much I'd like to take my family to Orlando...mainly because I have never been there and my wife tells me what a great place it would be to take our family some day. She's been there many times and goes on and on about the theme parks and the shopping. I've been doing some looking, and at first I was getting quite discouraged...as tickets and things are not cheap. That's why I was happy to find Orlandofuntickets.com. They have great deals on all kinds of tickets. No matter if you're looking for Seaworld Tickets, or something else...this is the place to find them!! Take a look today and see if you agree that this is the place to find great prices on tickets!!

Yum!

Jen was talking about making chili one of these days and making lots of it so that I could bring it to work with me for lunches. Her chili is the best and I can't wait for her to make it!! It will make for a couple of good lunches. It will be nice to eat something warm on these bitter cold days. Maybe I'll ask her if she can make it tonight or tomorrow. Then I'll have it for the remainder of the work week. Yum!

Busy Shopping

Jen and I always like to go and get groceries together after I get off from work. Last night we decided to go and it was SOO busy at Walmart! I think many people are doing last minute Christmas shopping this time of year or something because there were so many people out and about. I mean some of them were getting groceries...but others were buying toys and other things that I'm sure were for Christmas gifts. I think we'll try and go when it's less busy next time.

Las Vegas Vacation

Las Vegas is known for their amazing Las Vegas Hotels, as well as their Las Vegas Shows. I'm sure many have heard of the variety of things there is to do there...but how many have actually been there and done them?!? Probably not many, since Las Vegas can be pretty expensive to visit. Well, that is until I found the site, Best of Vegas! This site makes it possible for you to find great hotels, shows, tours, attractions and so much more for great prices!! You don't have to worry so much about the money end of things...now all you have to worry about is getting there and having some fun! If you'd like to learn more about how you can make Las Vegas your next vacation spot..take a look at this site today!

Jen's Present

I really enjoy buying my wife jewelry. It's something that she enjoys and I love to make her happy. This year I wanted to buy her an anniversary ring. I went looking at them and actually decided to buy her a set. I bought the anniversary ring along with a diamond band. It's beautiful!! I gave it to her already because I knew she'd want to start wearing it and she just loves it!! I'm so glad!

So Cute!

Our little girl just loves music. When Jen was pregnant with kaelyn she always said how much she enjoyed music because she'd always move around when we were around it. Now that she's here with us it's obvious how much she likes music. She'll move her arms and legs around and get a big smile on her face. I just love that she likes music. I can't wait until she's at that toddler age where she starts dancing.:) That will be so cute!

Vacation

Planning a vacation can be quite stressful...especially when you have to look all over the web for the different information you're looking for. My wife and I would like to plan a trip to Flordia someday...and I know going to a place like this there must be tons of information out there on the web. That's why I'm really thrilled that there is a site like Thinkflorida.co.uk where people can find much of the information they're looking for about Florida all in one place. For vacationers it's truly a useful resource. I recommend anyone looking for a rental car service, ticket service, and online booking for pool homes and Florida Holiday Villas, to check out this site today!! You won't be disappointed in all they have to offer.

Painting

I'm thinking that this week I'm going to go buy some paint and start painting our basement. We know that we probably won't be able to completely finish it for quite some time...but paint is definitely a good place to start. After that the biggest thing we will need to do down there is put down carpet and get some furniture. Once we are able to do that it will definitely make for a nice little family room and play room for our children. We have many other projects in our home that we want to do over the years...but paining the basement is a big job that needs to be done soon!

Online Gambling

I'm not one who gambles a lot, but I did recently come across a great site for anyone who takes part in online gambling and is looking for the perfect online casino. Basically this site offers reviews on casinos to help players save time when looking through the nearly 3000 online casinos out there! Who wouldn't want to save time rather than searching through all of these casinos?! I know I would!! Pro360 is the site and they really offer a great service that I think many should take advantage of. They offer reviews on the casinos and include trust scores and bonuses that each casino offers. I strongly urge you to check it out today! Their site is laid out very nicely and it's so easy to navigate. You'll find it easy to find everything you're looking for at the click of a button. It's convenient and easy to use. I'm definitely going to share this with my family and friends who are into online gambling and think you should as well. Head over there today and check it out! You won't be disappointed!

Christmas Season

Can you believe it's almost time for Christmas already?!? It seems like just yesterday that we were awaiting our little girl's birth and now over a month later Christmas is almost here. I just can't believe how quickly the holiday season has come. I'm not complaining or anything though...I absolutely love this time of year!! Who wouldn't love celebrating the real reason for the season...Jesus as well as spending time with loved ones! I know I can't wait and I'm sure there are many others out there who are excited as well.

bettercaring

I often find myself browsing the web and recently while doing this came across a great site that I wanted to share with others who may be interested. Have you ever heard of bettercaring before? I had never heard of this site or their services until I came across it. They offer resources for those who need answers and help finding care homes for themselves or someone else. You can look for different options available and choose the right one for you and your situation. This site also makes it possible for you to read daily news, get tips from experts and take part in a community forum where you can talk with others about your own personal experiences. Does this sound like a site that would be of use to you? If so then you should definitely check it out to learn more!! So what are you waiting for...head over there today!


Thank Goodness!

I'm really glad that winter is here...because that means I'm having more and more time off and able to spend some quality time with Jenna and Kaelyn. It was kind of a bummer to have the busy season land right when Kaelyn was born...but now I'm glad it's over with and am able to spend more time with my family!! I always enjoyed spending time with Jenna...and now that Kaelyn is here I have even more of a reason to want to be at home.:)

Baby Stuff

If you're looking to buy baby giftsthat are cute and creative, then you should check out The Nest Baby Shop. They have so many great gifts for babies, siblings and parents. What I enjoyed most about this site and what they had to offer was the free personalization that you can get with many of the items. Whether you're looking for bibs, blankets, announcements or something else...this is the place to go!! Check it out today and see what you think. I think you'll be as impressed as I was with all that they have to offer. You can even get things for that baby shower that you're planning!

So blessed!

Our little girl is so good!! I mean, she's our first baby so we don't really have anything to compare to, but we feel like she is just the best baby. We can take her out places and not worry that she's going to get upset and cry. She also sleeps through the night and has since two weeks which is just wonderful! What new parent wouldn't like 6 or 7 hours of straight sleep?!? We feel very blessed to have such a wonderful and healthy daughter!

Christmas Present

Every year I like to buy my wife something for Christmas that she'll really enjoy. It's always fun to surprise her with a gift. I love buying her jewelry especially, because I know how much she enjoys it. This year I wanted to buy her an anniversary ring...you know...the kind with the past, present and future diamonds on them. I told her yesterday that I wanted to take her to the jewelry store and let her pick out a set. We were in there a while, and she picked out the perfect set. It's really beautiful! I'm glad that she was able to find something that she liked so much!

Christmas Gifts

I don't know about you, but sometimes I think it's neat to give unique gifts. One thing I was thinking about for my own family members this Christmas are premium Christmas baskets. You can get great gift baskets like this from Gourmet Gift Baskets. Included in them is some of the finest gourmet food around! They have all kinds of baskets, everything from Christmas, to new baby baskets and get well baskets. If you're like me and like to give unique gifts to those special people in your life...then you should check out Gourmet Gift Baskets today! You won't be disappointed.

Nice Day

I really enjoyed not having to work this weekend. It's been too long since I had a full weekend to spend with my family. Jen, Kaelyn and I just enjoyed a relaxing day at home. We got some cleaning done...but pretty much just got to enjoy each other's company which I loved! Today Kaelyn is a month old and she rolled over which was pretty exciting. I hadn't seen her do that yet, so I was pretty impressed! Overall it was a wonderful day and I can't wait for more weekends like this one.

Blogs

Many of us use our blogs to not only make some money on the side, but also to journal about the things that are happening in our lives. What I like best about blogs is that each one is different. You won't find one blog that is exactly like anybody elses. I think it's so great all the different widgets and Blog Stuff that one can add to their blog to help personalize them even more. Recently I came across JustSayHi.com/bb which has lots of fun badges and widgets that people can put on their blogs. If this is something that is of interest to you, check out their site today to learn more.

So sad

I'm sure I've said it before...but what is up with the news these days. I feel like I can't watch it without hearing some sort of tragic news that's gone on in our country or world. Whether it's war, death, sickness, or something else...it seems to be something that I hear about a lot. I think it's so sad all that goes on. For instance, yesterday I was watching the news, and to my surprise Sean Taylor...player for the Washington Redskins had died. Just the day before I had watched the news and heard he was shot in the leg because someone had broken into his home...but never thought that he would die from it. It's just so sad!

Lapband System

If you've ever heard of JourneyLite, you already know that they are a network of surgical facilities and surgeons who specialize in providing people with the Lapband procedure. This is a well known weightloss surgery that many have taken advantage of. From what I understand, this procedure helps people lose weight by placing a gastric band on the upper portion of the stomach. This helps to reduce the size of the stomach and restricts the amount of food one can eat. As you can see, this helps people to eat less and feel full more quickly. I think it's a great option for people who are obese and looking for a better and healthier lifestyle. Learn more on their site today if you're interested in tampa weight loss.

Family of Three

My wife and I recently had our first baby. We had a girl and her name is Kaelyn!! We absolutely love being a family of three and really have enjoyed being parents so far! We always knew we wanted to have children, and now having our daughter is just wonderful!! We are really enjoying watching her grow and change each and every day. It's amazing how her little personality is already starting to show. What an amazing gift and a blessing a child is!

Gifts

Christmas this year is going to be a little different. My wife and I recently had our very first baby and are so excited to share the holiday with her this year!! We're especially excited to shop for Christmas gifts for her. Even though she's still too young to open these gifts...it will still be fun to buy her gifts and celebrate Christmas with her as a family this year. I'm thinking we will do much of our shopping at Target for her, as well as Old Navy because they have so many cute baby clothes that we would like to buy for her. Since we're so busy with our daughter these days, I'm thinking it will be easiest to shop online this year and use Coupon Chief to help us save money by using their online shopping coupon codes.

This weekend

I'm really excited because I already found out that I have this weekend off from work!! It's so nice to have days off because I get to spend time with Jen and Kaelyn. This weekend Kaelyn is going to be dedicated at church and then I think we're also going to meet Jen's parents for supper one night, as it's her mom's birthday next week. It should be a nice and relaxing weekend. I'm really looking forward to it. I think we may even do some Christmas shopping as well.

Krillion

The one thing that I've really been wanting for Christmas this year is a sharp HDTV. I think it would be great to have one and have been searching the web and stores for the one that's perfect for our home. I think Krillion is probably the best route when looking for a product like this. I recently came across this localization search engine and was quite impressed. They make it easy for me to search and compare HDTVs and find the exact one that I want. They also help me find one in my area so I know exactly where I can go to buy it. What a great way to save time. If you're interested in making your shopping experience much less stressful this holiday season, try Krillion today!

So Cold

I don't know about you, but I really don't like the cold weather that we've been having lately. Here in the northern part of the US, we have been having bitter cold weather. I was working outside yesterday, and with the windchill it was only 2 degrees!! I was just freezing cold!! I'm glad that today I'm getting the chance to work indoors in the office more. I don't know how many more days I could take working out in the bitter cold.

Score

Reading is a very difficult subject in school. I remember it being one of the most difficult subjects for me in school. Recently I heard of Score Learning centers which has Reading Tutors to help students who might struggle with reading like I did. I sure wish that my parents would have known about Score when I was younger. They offer a great innovative tutoring environment that helps to make learning fun for students while helping them to make it meaningful to them at the same time. If you want to learn more about Score, take a look at their site today.

Dr Phil

Wow...Dr Phil has some really great stories on TV these days. Recently there was a show about a young woman who met a man living oversees on Myspace. She fell in love with him online and ran away from home to be with him. Dr Phil spoke with her family who really wanted her to come back to the US for a while and he convinced her to come home. Today his show is revealing her coming home and the true story between she and her boyfriend. I'm very curious to see how this all turns out.

Police Gear

My wife's father has been a police officer for over 25 years now. Throughout the years she has talked about the different uniforms that he has had to wear. He had his police uniforms, as well as his tactical uniforms. I'm going to have to share with him a site that recently came across that has a variety of police gear that he may be interested in purchasing at some point. If you or someone you know may be interested in a site like this, you should check out 5.11 tactical outdoors today!

Wow!

I can't believe how quickly time flies. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing our little girl home from the hospital, and now she is already almost 4 weeks old!! Where does the time go?!! So many people tell you how fast your kids will grow up...and I completely see what they are talking about now. Seeing how fast 4 weeks has gone...I'm sure years just fly by. That's why it's important to cherish every moment!!

Baby Stores

As new parents, my wife and I both know how important it is to us to find the very best baby product and services for our new baby. Whether it's about where we can find the best baby stores, where we can find the best stroller, or even recommendations on the best pediatricians around...we want the best advice and guidance. We have found that Lilaguide.com is a great resource for parents like us who have these types of questions. The reason is because they offer real parent reviews and opinions on all kinds of stores, baby gear, services and more. We like the honest opinions that we've found on this site and I think many parents will as well. Take a look and see what you think.

Fun Time

Last night we sure had a nice time. My mom ordered in Applebee's for us, and we got to spend time with her and my sister who lives in Virginia. Tami had such a nice time getting to meet Kaelyn. Kaelyn is sure lucky to have so many wonderful family members around. She's gotten to meet many of them, and will get to meet even more over the holidays this week. Sometimes she gets a little fussy when there's so many people around...but she calms down very quickly! She's such a good baby.

Computer Software

Having the right computer security is very important. That's why it's important to check out Software Security Solutions and the computer security software that they offer. They advocate a layered security solution approach which makes it easy for people to find the internet security they need while saving time and money. The reason is because they have the best security software available in each threat category. These categories include anti-virus, anti spyware, exploits and firewalls...all of which can be found in one place!! Don't waste you're time searching for the right security solutions and spending way too much money....take advantage of what Software Security Solutions has to offer you today and learn more about ESET on their site.

Fun in Texas

It sounds like Jen's parents are having a great time down in Texas visiting her twin brother, his wife and their new son. Bill and Vicky are so happy to have two new grandchildren. They got to spend some time here with Kaelyn which was nice, and now they get to spend some time with Emry as well. It sure will make the holidays fun this year having two babies around!

Supper

Last night my dad and stepmom stopped by and brought us supper. They had made a pot roast and green beans and it was absolutely wonderful!! They've been brining us suppers every now and then ever since Kaelyn was born. It's sure nice because Jen and I are so busy and having supper made for us sometimes is really helpful!! It's great having family that lives so close!

My Sister

Tonight we get to go out to eat with my mom and my sister. My sister lives in Virginia, so I'm really excited to get to spend some quality time with her. It's also nice that she was able to come back home, because she gets the chance to meet Kaelyn now. It's hard with her living so far away...so it's nice that she was able to make it back so Kaelyn and she could meet!

Credit Cards

Have you ever noticed how difficult it can be to find a credit card that suits your particular situation?! I know I have. I hate all that junk mail I receive in the mail each day. That's why I went out and found one of the internet's longest running sites for online credit card comparison so I could search, compare and apply for all types of credit cards that would suit my situation and needs. CreditCardSearchEngine.com is a great site that offers all kinds of cards. Whether you're looking for Low Interest Credit Cards, reward cards or something else...this is the site for you. Take a look at their site today and see what you think.

Great Baby

Seeing how Kaelyn is our first child...I am not sure how most babies are. From what I can tell about Kaelyn so far though...she is a GREAT baby!! She is so calm and happy much of the day!! This makes it easier for Jen to get some things done around the house and online that she needs to. At night she fusses some...but still allows us to get about 8 hours of sleep total...which is wonderful!! I couldn't ask for a sweeter and more perfect little girl! She's such a blessing.

Winter Weather

It's been pretty cold working lately. I really enjoyed work during the summer because it was warm outside. Now, with the weather turning colder and colder, it's less and less fun for me to spend time outside without freezing!! Pretty soon I'm going to have to start wearing my overalls again to help keep me warm. Hopefully the weather doesn't get too cold very soon though...I just don't like the winter weather that we have to deal with here in the midwest.

Feldman Associates

Feldman Associates, Inc is an executive recruiting firm and has been around since 1967 and is known for their high standard of service in the recruiting field. They are committed to helping both the employers of different industries, as well as the potential employees who are looking for jobs. They want to help build strong relationships between clients and candidates and are able to do so because of the experience they personally have had within these same industries in the past. It's nice to have recruiters like this who care about both sides of the job equation and truly are dedicated to helping everyone involved. I recommend you check them out if you're looking for something like this...either as a job candidate or client.

Thankful for cell phones

Where would we be without cell phones?!? I just can't imagine not having my cell phone after having one all this time. I hardly remember what it was like to not have it. It's something that I feel is necessary for people who travel or on the road a lot like myself. My wife always knows she can get a hold of me which is a good feeling for both her and I. I am so thankful for cell phones!

New Garage Floor

This summer when my wife and I were looking to buy our first home...she would always give me a hard time because one of the first things I'd want to look at was the garage. Well, we're now in the house htat we bought, and the garage is pretty nice. It's insulated with a heater in it. The only thing that's not so great about it is the floor. It's pretty cracked and beat up. At some point I'm going to have to look into new garage flooring and getting some tiles to cover it so it looks much nicer. It will give it a whole new look which would be wonderful!!

Strong Winds

As I sit here I can hear the wind blowing!! THe leaves are going all over the place and the wind sounds like it is very brisk. I'm glad I don't have to spend too much time outside today...as I think I would be very cold. It's nice to have a job where I get to work indoors some when the weather is like this!!! I don't know what I would if I had to be outside all the time in the bitter cold.

Payday Loans

If you're looking for a good payday loan, then you should definitely check out the site that I came across today while browsing the web. They want to help you out by giving you a payday loan fee calculator as well as quotes on different payday loans. I think this is great and something many should take advantage of. If you're facing a financial bump in the road and need a short-term loan from 100-1500 dollars...then you should check out Faxless Payday Loans today!! Take a look and see what you think!

Is it winter yet??

It's looking like our busy season is going to come to an end very soon. Once the ground freezes it's going to be very difficult to get much else done. It's looking like that could happen here within the next week or so...as snow is definitely in the forecast. Normally I wouldn't look forward to snow...but now with our new daughter here with us...all I want to do is spend more time at home. :)

Dentemp OS

I have lost a filling a number of times, but one instance really stands out in my mind the most. When I was dating my wife in college, I wanted to take her on a romantic date to her favorite restaurant for our anniversary. I was really trying to be thoughtful and knew she'd have a great time. The night started out great...but I guess I made the wrong decision when it came to what I ordered to eat that night, because it was too sticky and caused me to lose a filling. I was so embarassed, as I know the facial expressions of pain that I was making couldn't have been very flattering to say the least. Although the pain didn't go on and on...it definitely made it difficult to finish eating and to concentrate on our romantic date. I wish that I would have known about Dentemp OS at the time. This is a great product that offers temporary dental repair. It would have given me relief for an hour, which definitely would have helped save me from the embarassment that I went through that night. It would have been so easy to use and would have allowed me to eat within 30 minutes of applying it. Next time I'm definitely going to make sure I have Dentemp OS on hand.

Family

Before my daughter was born...I obviously realized how important family was. However, once she came into our lives my whole perspective on family and time spent with them has changed! I always have enjoyed spending time with my wife, but now more than ever I want to spend time with her and our daughter. It's really made me realize how important my family is to me and how I want to take as much time as possible to spend with them. This winter I'm definitely going to be taking some time off from work so I get that time.

So Busy

With the busyness of work and then Kaelyn coming home...we haven't had the chance to make it to church for a couple weeks. We're looking forward to bringing Kaelyn to church for the first time, but it probably won't be until things slow down a bit. It may be that weekend of Thanksgiving?!? We'll have to see how things go I guess.

Wonderful Wife

I have to give my wife a lot of credit. She is now home with our baby...which keeps her very busy. However, even though she's busy with Kaelyn...she still manages to keep our house looking nice and do some work online too. She's an amazing person and I feel so blessed to have her!! Now I have two very special girls in my life whom I love with all my heart!! I never thought I could love Jen more than the day I married her, but my love for her grows each and every day!!

Rare Coins

For those who are interested in Rare Coins and investing...then you've probably heard of Monaco Rare Coin before. They are a part of the Monex Companies. Never heard of them before? Well, Monex has been around for almost 40 years and is known for their leadership in the investment of precious metals and certified coins like gold and silver. Monaco Rare Coin make it easy for investor and collectors to find what they are looking for with all of the resources that they have to offer. I was extremely impressed with all they had to offer, and I'm sure you will be as well. Take a look at their site today to learn more!!

Pics

My wife and I like taking pictures, but i don't think we've ever taken as many as we did this past week. We just want to capture every little thing that Kaelyn does!! Jen has the camera by her all day, so she can share with me what new things Kaelyn is doing while I'm at work. The other day she took a picture of her sucking her thumb for the first time. It was SOOO cute! She hasn't found her thumb since then, but I'm sure with time she will find it again.:)

Changing by the day...

It seems like each day Kaelyn is doing more and more. When we brought her home she was only a few days old. Now, almost 2 weeks old, she is amazing us each and every day. She's now holding her head up and even trying to move it from one side to the other when she's on her belly. She's also trying very hard to find that thumb of hers. We were hoping she'd want a pacifier, but it looks like once she finds that thumb it will override the pacifier we've been trying to use with her.:) She's also focusing a lot more with her eyes and seems to be more aware of her environment. It's so neat to see all of these changes!!

PowerOptions

PowerOptions offers a complete suite of educational materials, free customer service, and data that you need to invest with stock options!! Their program, SmartSearchXL is only available here!! From what I've read, it's actually the best way to find, compare and analyze stock option trading. What's so great about PowerOptions is that it makes it very convenient for the user, as well as giving them control to sort, filter and analyze different stocks and options. If you're interested in learning more about PowerOptions, I suggest you take a look at their site today. Here you will find all the information you are wanting to know more about, like historical option data for instance.

So Happy

Seeing how Kaelyn is our first child...I am not sure how most babies are. From what I can tell about Kaelyn so far though...she is a GREAT baby!! She is so calm and happy much of the day!! This makes it easier for Jen to get some things done around the house and online that she needs to. At night she fusses some...but still allows us to get about 8 hours of sleep total...which is wonderful!! I couldn't ask for a sweeter and more perfect little girl! She's such a blessing.

Time Off

Ever since Kaelyn was born...it seems that work has gotten more and more busy. I'm really looking forward to it slowing down a bit so that I can spend more time with her and Jen. I make sure that I call them several times a day to check in...but it's not the same as being there. Hopefully I will be able to spend more time with them very soon. Once the ground freezes I think it will be much easier to take some time off from work.

Wedding Planning

My wife spent so much time planning our wedding. I tried to help when I could...but she took care of many of the details. It was fun for us to plan the wedding, but got being quite stressful as there were many details and things to decide. At the time we were Wedding Planning, we didn't know about WeddingChannel.com and all that they have to offer those who are planning a wedding. Even though we didn't know about it...I wanted to share this site with others who are looking for planning tools, advice, vendor guides and much more to help make your planning stress-free. Take a look at their site today and learn more.

Being a Dad

I'm just loving being a dad!! I wasn't sure what it would be like...but it is AMAZING!! I could jus stare at our little girl for hours. She's so sweet and beautiful! I'm so proud of my wife for all that she went through throughout the pregnancy and labor/delivery!! She's amazing and I can't believe that our little girl is finally here with us! We're so happy and are just enjoying each and every day!!

Alzheimer's Foundation

I never knew much about the Alzheimer's disease or how seriously it can affect the people who have it and their families until my wife learned of her Grandma having it years ago. It's a really sad disease, and one that you hear more and more about with each passing year. I know for my wife and our family it's difficult to see her Grandmother like this. She was such a sharp woman...and now she doesn't even know who we are. The most sad part of it all is that at the time there is no cure. I would love it if we could find a cure for this disease and would like to make people more aware of it. This month in particular I would like to help spread the word about different ways to help raise money and find a cure because it's actually Alzheimer's awareness month. If you have someone that you know who has Alzheimer's I'm sure you feel just as strongly about getting the word out there about this terrible disease as I do. It's very important that we remember, that all though we don't have a cure for the disease, we need to continue to give quality care to those who have it. It's very important that they get the best care possible. The holidays are a very good time to show how much you care by shopping at the Alzheimer's Foundation of America eStore for a holiday gift. This is a great way to help because the proceeds benefit the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. You can learn more about it on their site, http://www.alzfdn.org/. Check it out today and see what you think.

First Outing

Well, Kaelyn had her first outing with mom, dad, Grammy and Grampa tonight. It was so fun. She is such a good girl. We went to the Mall for a stroll. It just so happened that we ran into four gals from our families home church. They were so excited to see us. Then after that we had to stop in at the local Dairy Queen for ice cream cones. Yum Yum....

Police Gear

My wife's dad is a police officer. Over the years he's done many things as a part of his job...one being that he was part of a tactical team. For this he had to wear a special uniform that was really pretty neat looking. I was thinking of him and this team that he used to participate in when I came across a great site, 5.11 Tactical Outdoors that has a variety of police gear. Whether you're looking for pants, shirts, shoes, bags or something else...this site is sure to have what you're looking for. From what I could tell, they have very reasonable prices as well. Head over there today and see if they have what you've been looking for. I think you'll be impressed with all they have to offer just like I was !!

Work

It's been so nice having the past couple of weeks be so nice outside. The reason I say that is because that way we can get a lot done in the field before the snow begins to fall. In my job we are paid bonuses for the acres we work...so getting thousands of acres in just a matter of days is a huge deal and something to really celebrate! It came at perfect timing too...right before the baby arrives. I'm planning on taking off some time now that Jen is being induced tomorrow and I can't wait.

Bad Credit??

It's crazy how every time I turn on the news or read an article online, I'm hearing that the number of people with bad credit is on the rise here in the US. I'm not sure if it's due to poor budgeting, cost of living, or a mix of the two...but having bad credit does not make it very easy to get back on your feet. The more and more your credit goes down, the harder it will be to bring back up. Well, I should say it's hard to do on your own. If you have the help from a company like bad credit loans though...your future will look much brighter. This is a company that allows those with poor credit to compare the different bad credit offers available to them. Now it's really easy for those with poor credit to work towards getting their life back in our order and their finances stabilized again. If you're interested in learning more about this great site and finding out how they can help you with credit repair...head over there and check it out!! They have so much to offer.

Picking a name...

Jen is being induced tomorrow morning and we still don't have a name picked out if it's a girl. We have a couple in mind...but we like both names and just don't know which to choose. It's a tough decision and one that we've just been torn on making. I know we're going to have to make a decision if the baby is a girl....so we're definitely going to have to talk about it more tonight. The time is nearing and will be here in the next day!

Orlando

I think this would be the perfect time of year to take Jen on a vacation. She absolutely love Orlando and keeps telling me that I would love it too. I may have to secretly plan a trip for her. In doing so, I may look into using Orlando.com. Here is where I can find the most affordable prices on car rentals, flights, an orlando florida vacation rental and more! I will also be able to find all the information I need on entertainment, dining, and nightlife. Having never been to Orlando myself, I think this site will be a great guide for me in planning a perfect get away. You should check it out the next time you plan a trip to Orlando.

How Awesome...

Well, the time is nearing and I can't wait to be a dad!! Only 2 days left until our Jen gets induced and I can't wait!! I know Jen is really excited as well. I'm hoping that our baby comes before that though, as the pregnancy is becoming increasingly uncomfortable for Jenna. She doesn't complain about it much...but I can tell the headaches and lack of sleep are really wearing on her. I guess we'll just have to wait and see when our little one is ready to come. We're just excited and still can't believe what a miracle it is to have a child!!

Can't wait to be a dad!

Well...we for sure have less than 48 until we go to the hospital to have our baby!! Who knows...he/she could come sooner, but even if they don't...we know that we will have our baby by the weekend for sure!! We just can't believe that the time is already here! It's crazy to think how quickly 9 months has gone by. I mean, Jen might tell you it's gone by a little slower since she's the one carrying the baby...but still...to think that soon we'll have our little baby is just so amazing! I can't wait to be a dad.

eSnacks.com

If you enjoy candy as much as I do, then I'm sure you're going to like hearing about a site that I recently came across. eSnacks.com is an online candy store that offers their candy in bulk!! Doesn't that sound great!!?? I thought this was a wonderful idea for those of us who find ourselves craving candy much of the time. Not only do you get your candy in bulk...but you get them for discount prices which is also a huge plus!! Whether you're looking for vintage bulk candy or something else...this site is sure to have what you're looking for! I strongly recommend you take a look at their site for yourself and see all they have to offer! You won't be disappointed.

Still No News

Still no news on the baby. We are so hoping that the baby comes soon, preferably before Jen would even have to get induced on Thursday!! She's been getting more frequent contractions throughout the day, but they are not consistent in timing. She's keeping an eye on them though...just in case they suddenly change to a more predictable pattern. We're just trying to stay patient and wait.

Van Insurance

I've noticed over the years that finding affordable and good auto insurance can be difficult to come by. If you find this to be true for your own family, and you own a van, then you should definitely look into Autonet, a UK wide van insurance company that I recently came across while browsing the web. They are in the first position for van insurance in Google UK and offer great things for those looking for affordable and Cheap Van Insurance. Working with company, you can be assured that you are going to get the policy that is right for you. They even say that if you find cheaper insurance elsewhere, that they will refund your money. I think that's incredible for an insurance company to do that! They offer information on home, car, truck, travel and many other kinds of insurance as well. So, if interested, please head over to their site today and learn more.

Going to Church

When Jen and I moved here last winter, the first thing we wanted to do was find a church. This was something very important to us, and it was very important that we found one. We were fortunate enough to find a non-denominational church that is Bible-based and really teaches the Word. Not only that, but the worship here is amazing!! We just love it!! When the baby comes we know that we won't get to go for a couple of weeks probably, but that's ok...we'll be back soon enough.

Hoodia

I don't know if you've ever heard of Hoodia before, but it's a diet pill that's 100% pure all organic material from the Kalahari Desert's Kooroo Region in South Africa. I normally wouldn't promote diet pills, but one that doesn't have any unhealthy side effects and is natural definitely stands out to me as being unique and worth looking into. I learned of Hoodia from a show that I saw on television. The success that so many people have had with Hoodia made me want to research it more. From what I can tell it's definitely a product I would recommend to my friends and family who may be looking for a supplement like this. Overall I really think that this is a great product and one that others should learn more about and possibly try for themselves. You can get it at a great price, definitely worth it for the results that you will see.

Holiday Season

I am really looking forward to Christmas this year. I think mainly because by then we will have our new baby here with us and it will be our first Christmas as a family of three!! When Jen and I were out shopping last night, we noticed that Christmas things are starting to be set out already. I really didn't expect to see this in stores until next month sometime...but it was still fun to browse and check out all of the decorations and trees already!! It just makes us that much more excited for the holiday season to arrive.

BadCreditOffers.com

If you or someone you know has bad credit, I recently came across a great site that you may be interested in learning more about. BadCreditOffers.com is a new consumer resource, featuring bad credit loans, credit cards and other resources just for you!! With there being so many people with poor credit nowadays, it seems necessary to have a site like this to help them out. I think it's a great idea!! It will help you get back on you feet. What I like best about this site is that you can compare different offers, rather than jumping at the first one offered to you in the mail or something. It's a great way to find an offer that suits you and your situation best. If you're interested in learning more, head over to their site today.

Baby News

Jen and I are really anxious to meet our little one. He/she was due yesterday, but we had a feeling that she may go past her due date since this is our first baby. We are trying to wait patiently...but boy is it hard when you're so excited about something like the birth of your baby!! We're at least comforted in knowing that she will be induced Thursday if the baby does not arrive by then. We are so excited to know that this weekend we will have our little one at home with us!! It's been a long time coming...and we are so excited that the time is finally here.

Having to work weekends...

Although I like the fact that work has been keeping me busy, I'm bummed that I may have to work this weekend. Especially bummed that I may have to work Sunday. I always enjoy going to church and I know Jen likes it when I'm able to go with her too. It's too bad, but sometimes in the busy season I'm unable to go. We've actually been really lucky because most weekend I've been able to go. I guess one time isn't a big deal...I just miss not going when I'm not able to.

Grocery Shopping Early

Jen and I were talking and we're planning on getting groceries a bit early this week. Normally we'd go out and get groceries on Friday or something, but with the baby for coming by Thursday, we feel that we should be a little more organized. That way we'll have plenty of food here after we get home from the hospital. Maybe we'll go on Tuesday or something?!? We'll have to see.

Radiator.com

Radiator.com is a great place to go if you are looking for a new automotive radiator. They are the leading online source for radiators and have an inventory of over 80,000 parts. Radiator.com keeps a full stock of Honda and Acura radiators and offers a lifetime warranty on all parts and labor. If you're interested in finding a new Accord Radiator, you should definitely check out their site today. The not only have a huge selection to choose from, but they also offer great articles for those who are not expert mechanics. I really enjoyed browsing their site and I think you will as well. Take a look today and see what you think.

More Leaves

Every weekend for the past month or so, I've been getting a mower of my uncles that has a vacuum on it to pick up the leaves in our yard. It seems that each week our yard just fills up with the leaves that continue to fall. I don't really mind it...it just takes up much of my day. I have to first rake up some leaves and put them in the truck. Then I have to take the mower and vacuum up the remaining leaves. While all this is going on I have to take load after load to the landfill. It's a lot of work.

Waking up early

When I first started my job last Spring, I remember waking up early was really difficult for me to do. I was used to sleeping in and not having to get up early. Now that I've worked there a while and gotten used to the early hours, I don't mind getting up early at all. In fact, I often wake up before my alarm. The only bummer about it is that I can't seem to sleep in on the weekends when I actually can sleep in. I'm so used to waking up early that I just wake up early on the weekends too. Oh well...

Pools

If you live in Arizona and would like a quality pool built just for you...then I would definitely suggest you take a look at Cameo Pools, the oldest pool company in Mesa Arizona.

Kevin Garnett

Speaking of basketball getting started...I'm kind of bummed that Kevin Garnett is no longer playing for the Timberwolves. I am a huge Minnesota fan and I'm sad that he's not playing for them anymore. He's now going to be playing for the Boston Celtics. Oh well I guess. That's what happens in the world of sports. You never know who is going to get traded where. I'll just have to watch more Celtics games I guess.




Basketball Season

As I've said in the past, I am a big Sports nut. I really enjoy all kinds of sports, but my favorites are probably football and basketball. The NBA season is actually just about to start which is really exciting. I can't wait!! I know I won't be watching it too much, as I'm going to want to spend time with Jen and our baby...but it will still be nice to watch every once in a while.

Lapband System

I'm sure many of you have heard of Journey Lite before. They are a growing network of surgical facilities and professionals who preform the lapband system procedure. This is one of the safest and least invasive weigh-loss solutions of our time, and many people have taken advantage of it's amazing benefits. Basically this bariatric surgery is where a surgeon places an adjustable band on the upper portion of the stomach. This helps to make the stomach smaller and for the person to get full faster. Ultimately, the patients lose weight because they are not eating as much. I really like all that the Lapband procedure has to offer, and I think you will too. Take a look at their site to learn more today.

Nice Dry Weather

It's been really nice weather to work in the fields lately. It's been dry, so it's been easy for us to spread the fertilizer that we need to. I like it because it means that we're getting some work done finally. It was so rainy there for a while that it was tough to get anything done. Everything we get done now will mean that much less to do in the Spring. That's fine with me:)

Work Shirts

My work has never had shirts that actually have their logo on them. The guys kind of put me in charge of figuring out how we could go about getting some. I recently came up with a great idea and I think we're going to be purchasing some for the workers there. I'm looking forward to it and can't wait to have some Hi Yield gear. It'll be nice to wear the name of the company and not just my own shirts.

Regency

I recently learned of Regency beauty schools, the fastest growing beauty school in the country. Having been around for 50 years, Regency is known for it's great educational and hands-on program...giving those interested in cosmetology a great start. They are continually growing and now have almost 30 campuses across nine states!! What I enjoyed hearing about this school most is that they help place their students in jobs after they are finished. This is always nice when a school will do this and a huge plus for anyone going to Regency. If you're looking for a great beauty school...check Regency out today!

Auctions

I really have always enjoyed purchasing things on ebay in the past. Some guys at work figured this out and now they always are asking me to purchase things for them. They always pay me back, but it gets to being a lot of work when everyone continues to ask me to bid on things for them. I don't really mind though. It's actually kind of fun. I love searching for the best deal and bidding on auctions.

Soon to be parents!!

Wow...not much longer now!! Jen had her appointment yesterday and they told her if she doesn't have the baby by Thursday that she'll be induced. We're pretty excited because that means we're for sure going to get to meet our little on in less than a week!! It's SOOO exciting. I can't wait to be a dad. I know that we're both going to just love being parents.

Jen's so tired!

I sure am feeling bad for Jen these days. I think it's just the weight of the baby on her ribs, but she just has not been sleeping well at all. Last night she slept from 12-4 and then couldn't sleep the rest of the night. She got up at 7 with me and started her day. She's so tired, and just can't seem to get comfortable to sleep. I can't until she is able to at least sleep a little bit more, because I hate seeing her so tired.

Work on the deck...

The past couple of times that Zoe's been at our house, she has been crawling under our deck when she's outside. She is too big to be crawling under there and she gets stuck a lot. Before she comes up to stay with Bill and Vicky after the baby is born, I'm going to buy some board to put up on the deck so that she can't crawl under there anymore. It will be nice to have to keep out the rabbits and kittens too.

World Series Tickets!

The World Series is always a fun thing to watch this time of year. I really enjoy all kinds of sports...so watching baseball is just another one of my many hobbies. It would be a dream of mine to actually get to see the World Series in person one year, rather than on the TV. I've always assumed that finding tickets to a game like this would be too difficult, as I'm sure they all sell out very quickly. Now, I don't have to worry about that. I found out about TicketsNow.com. They are a great site, and the best place to find world series tickets on the web. I'm planning on checking it out and I hope you do too!! Lets get our tickets to the World Series today!

Window Tint

With a baby on the way...I've been really wanting to get our back windows tinted so that the sun is not shining on our baby's face. I'm really excited, because I finally talked my wife into letting me order some to put on our car. I don't know if I'll get it put on before the baby comes, but I definitely am planning on getting it done soon. I think it will be really nice to have on there. Jen doesn't know if she'll like it...but I'm sure she'll love it after it's all said and done.

Bumbo Chair Recall

Jen and I have been doing some last minute shopping for our little one lately. I pointed out the Bumbo chair that you see all over these days. She informed me though that these are actually being recalled because children are falling out of them and actually fracturing their skulls. Over 1 million have been recalled I believe and all are being pulled off the shelves. I'm glad that we didn't end up getting one...as we don't want something dangerous like that for our child.

Orlando

Have you ever been to Orlando, Florida before? If so, then you know that they have so much to offer, especially those who are taking their families on this fun vacation. It's important that when you go to a place like Orlando, that you plan your vacation wisely. You need to pick a hotel that's right for you. There are many Orlando Hotels to choose from, so this shouldn't be a problem. You also must find the theme parks that are important to you and your family to visit. There are 52...so you have a lot to choose from. Now, the last thing you may be thinking about is "how much is this going to cost?". Well, it can get pretty spendy if you don't find the right places to go to get discounts. I recommend you check out Orlandovacation.com...as they are the best place to go to find hotel discounts on the web. Take a look and see what you think.

World Series

I've really enjoyed watching the world series these past couple of nights. Tonight the Red Sox are playing the Colorado Rockies in games two of the MLB World Series. Last night's game wasn't even close...Boston winning it 11-2. I can honestly say that I expect the Red Sox to sweep the Rockies tonight in this best of 7 series. I never really get into baseball much, but I have to say that the World Series is another story...I really like it.

Great Football Game

What an amazing football game I just watched. Number two Boston college was down 10-0 to Virginia Tech with under 5 minutes to go in the game. The coolest thing about this game was that they still ended up winning the game with a touchdown off of a recovered onside kick. It will go down as one of the best comebacks in college football...that's for sure!!

W South Beach

If you'd like to find a great place in South Beach, you must check out a W South Beach Condo....a great place to find condo-hotels in the Miami Beach Condo market!! This is a beachfront property with over 500 units. Each has an ocean view which is just incredible if you ask me!! You can choose from one, two or three bedroom studios, as well as bungalows and penthouses. You'll enjoy the luxurious amenities that W South Beach has to offer, such as private beach access, the Bliss Spa, pools, a secret garden and so much more!! If this sounds like a place that you could see yourself at....then I urge you to take a look at their site today. They have much to offer and they're only a click away.

The time is coming...

Well, I'm pretty happy that our baby will soon be here with us. I know Jenna's really excited about that too. Her doctor's appointment went great today....they said that they thought she could probably have the baby within the next week. If she doesn't though, they are going to induce her on Thursday morning. Her doctor doesn't really want her going beyond 41 weeks because of her size...so we're both really excited that we get to meet our little one very soon.

Good Work Days

It's been really nice weather outside lately...so thankfully I've been able to get a lot done at work. It's been really good timing actually, as the due date of our baby is nearing and I need to get as much done as possible!! I've been working pretty good hours, not getting home too late...but still getting lots done at work as well. I'm happy and hope tomorrow goes just as well!

Premium Seats USA

My wife would absolutely love it if I could get Miami Heat tickets some time. For that matter, she'd love it if I could get tickets to any sporting even...whether it be NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL...he wouldn't care. She's such a sports nut that being able to go to any of these types of events would be great!! I've looked and looked and finding tickets is hard. Tickets either sell out right away, or they don't have the seats that I would like. I'm going to try Premium Seats USA next time I'm looking....as they are known for their huge selection of first-class tickets to sporting events and concerts alike. If you're in need of finding tickets, don't go through the hassle of finding that they're all sold out....find your tickets at Premium Seats USA.

God's Creation!

Many times I find myself gazing out the window in awe of how beautiful God's creation is!! Not that I don't do this many times throughout the year, but the Fall time is really when I find myself enjoying nature and all that He has created!! It's so beautiful watching the animals and all the trees turning colors!! I just love it!!

Our Church

When Jen and I moved here last winter, the first thing we wanted to do was find a church. This was something very important to us, and it was very important that we found one. We were fortunate enough to find a non-denominational church that is Bible-based and really teaches the Word. Not only that, but the worship here is amazing!! We just love it!!

Krillion

During the summer months the temperatures rise. Many of us like this warmer weather, but some of our appliances do not. Things like Kenmore Refrigerators and air conditioners must work a lot harder to keep things cool. This hard work may lead to some of these appliances breaking down. Repairing a refrigerator can be so expensive, that many times owners decide just to replace it completely. Doing this can be hard though, as finding an item like this takes time. Now you can use Krillion's Localization Engine if you're in this situation and need to find a high price items like this quickly. Krillion makes it easy for you to go to one place, find the item and learn where it's located. I like shopping like this....don't you?! If you'd like to learn more about Krillion, take a look at their site today.

Christian Music

My wife and I really enjoy listening to Christian music. Whether it's CD's or the radio...it seems that we have it on all the time!! One of my wife's favorite groups is Avalon. I really enjoy listening to them too!! Their songs are so powerful and really speak the Truth! One of our favorite songs by Avalon is: Everything to Me!! What a GREAT song with a terrific message! Many of us grow up in church and hear all about the Lord, but that personal relationship with Him truly develops when He becomes...EVERYTHING to us!! He's the most important part of our lives, and this song is something that touches our hearts!

The words:

I grew up in Sunday school
I memorized the Golden Rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out, and I can tell you all about the path that led Him up to Calvary
But ask me why He loves me, and I don't know what to say
But I'll never be the same because He changed my life when He became...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He is the air that I breathe, the water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
Oh He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that I'm aware of just how fragile life can be
I wanna tell the world I've found, a love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm prayin' just to give my heart away
I wanna live for Jesus, so that someone else might see that He is...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He is the air that I breathe, the water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
Oh He's everything, everything to me

And lookin' back over my life at the end, I wanna meet you, sayin you've been..

Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He is the air that I breathe, the water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
Oh He's everything, everything to me

Lord you're everything to me, Jesus

ChatterJam

I had never heard of ChatterJam.com until just recently, but it's definitely something that I'm interested in, and I thought many of you would be as well. It's a place where people go from faith-based backgrounds, to give their opinions on many different products out there and help companies like those in entertainment, books, music, food etc. understand how their products effect this group of people. Jammer's are those who are involved in helping to get the word out there about new products. Jammer's get to try new products for free and then give their honest opinions about them to help better the companies that are putting these products out there. I can't say enough how impressed I am with all that this site has to offer. It's definitely one that I'd like to get involved in!! Check them out today and see what you think.


New Devotional

My wife and I were recently talking about getting a new devotional to get us even deeper in the Word. We discussed many, but decided upon one by Kenneth Copeland. Pursuit of His Presence is the name of the devotional...and so far we both just LOVE it!! What a great way to grow deeper in Him and the Word!! Kenneth and his Wife co-authored this devotional and did a fantastic job! Each day there is a message, accompanied by a verse and several readings to study further. It's been a wonderful thing for both of us and we just love being able to do that together! We also have really enjoyed the devotional we have by James Dobson...Night Light: A Devotional for Couples.

What a miracle...

Well, the time is nearing and I can't wait to be a dad!! Only 4 days left until our baby's due date and I can't wait!! I know Jen is really excited as well. I'm hoping that our baby comes on time, as the pregnancy is becoming increasingly uncomfortable for Jenna. She doesn't complain about it much...but I can tell the headaches and lack of sleep are really wearing on her. I guess we'll just have to wait and see when our little one is ready to come. We're just excited and still can't believe what a miracle it is to have a child!!

Truck Bedliner

Where I work we have many trucks. In fact, I drive a truck most days to and from work. We use trucks because we find ourselves hauling lots of things to and from the plants. For this reason, I think it's necessary that we look into getting some good truck bedliners. In searching the web, I came across STK Line-A-Bed Bedliners and think that they would be perfect for my place of work. They not only offer the protection that we need, but are built to last...important to the type of business that I'm in!! I'm definitely going to have to share this information with my coworkers and see what they think about getting a great deal on a truck bedliner like this!!

Finally!

Although I'm not wild about the busy season...I'm glad that the rain finally let up so we can get some of the work that we need to done!! The rain was just pushing back everything that we still need to do. I'd rather just get the work done so the busy season can finally come to an end. From what the weather forecast looks like, I think we'll be able to get quite a bit done over the rest of this week. That'll be a good feeling!! As long as I get the chance to spend the weekend with Jen again, I'll be happy!! I love being able to go to church with her...as this is very important to us both!

IndieMV.com

Have you ever heard of IndieMV - Musical Intercourse before? It's a great site that helps to connect independent music artists and fans through social networking...which is becoming more and more popular these days. What a great thing, not only for musicians, but also for those who love music, students, and many others! On this site you will find so many cool tools.

Blogging is a Blessing

Jenna's brother Jake introduced us to blogging about a year ago, and what a blessing it is. Not only has it given us extra money, but it has also given Jenna the ability to stay home and work. Blogging is something that she'll be able to do even when the baby is born. Thanks Jake for this opportunity! What a blessing it has been for us.

Moving Company

Have you ever moved before? I'm sure many of you have. I know that we have moved a number of times, and it's always a pretty hectic and stressful time!

They make it really easy for movers to find moving companies that are good quality, trustworthy, and right for them.

If you're like me and would like to make moving less hectic...check out the Service Network today! Within just minutes you can find the right movers for you.

Missin' Zoe

I came home from work yesterday to no dog waiting for me. Over the past week that is what I was use to. Zoe would always be sitting at the front door just waiting for me to get home from work. And she would be standing at the garage door as I walked in. Now I have to wait until our baby is born to see her again. I miss her.

New Brakes

My wife and I started noticing that our car was making a really weird noise as we would go down the road, and would get worse when we would brake. I thought at first that there could be a problem with the suspension, but as I started to listen, I could tell it was the brakes. I purchase the shoes and drums for the car through work and saved $50 which was awesome, and when I took the shoes off it was very obvious that is what it was.

Vasectomy Reversal

At some point, many people find themselves in the situation of deciding whether or not a vasectomy is the right choice for them. At that point, there are many questions and concerns that people might have. Vasectomy.com can help you if you are in this situation. Not only do they offer information for you to browse on their site about vasectomies, they also have information about vasectomy reversal. This is another decision that more and more people are finding themselves trying to make. Not only will you find general information on vasectomy reversal, but also information regarding questions many may have, like "How much will it cost?". This question about vasectomy reversal cost is a very common question, and one that you can find out more about on this site. Check it out today and see what you think.

Boy or Girl?

With the countdown to when our baby is going to be born, Jenna and I have found ourselves trying to decide what name to choose for a girl. I like Kaylee, and Jenna likes Kaelyn. I really don't mind either because they both are original but I like the way Kaylee sounds. I'm glad we didn't have this much trouble with the name Kaden if it's a boy.

Leaves, Leaves, and more Leaves

Saturday I had to clean up all the leaves in our yard. I have never seen so many leaves fall from one tree. It took me 3 full pickup loads to clean them all up, I even took the lawn mower and vacuumed up what was left. But waking up today I found myself waking up to more leaves on the ground from that same tree. What a frustration.

Disney Tickets

I have never been to Orlando before, but my wife tells me it is quite the place to go on vacation. She remembers going as a young child with her family, and really wants to make sure that we take our children one day!! When we do plan a vacation to Orlando, we're going to have to look into Orlandofuntickets.com to find great discount tickets for theme parks, dinner shows, attractions, and more!! Finding the tickets at an affordable price can be the hardest part. So we're excited that we found a site like this to help us out! If you're planning a vacation to Orlando and need to find Disney Tickets or something else, I urge you to take a look at this site for all of your needs!!

Finally a day off

I worked for 30 days straight without a full day off and was I dragging. So with all the rain that we have gotten it has been nice to actually get my weekends off and be able to spend time with my wonderful wife. I also like being home so I have time to do some of the things around the house that I need to before the arrival of our baby. Hopefully every weekend it rains!:)

Brrrrr...It's Cold!

I don't understand this Minnesota weather, just last week the temperatures were up in the 70's and this week they have been in the 50's. It's crazy how the weather can swing 20 degrees in just 7 days. It just gives me the feeling that winter is right around the corner and I really don't like winter! Winter's here in the norther midwest are extremely cold and not much fun!!

Kava

I have never really been a big coffee drinker, but with the job I have, I have gotten used to drinking a little bit more of it here and there in the morning. Having a new interest in coffee, I was very interested in learning about kava kava, a Hawaiian coffee that comes from Kona's Hualalai Mountain. Here, the climate and the rich soil are perfect for making a safe herbal supplement that many people absolutely love!! They have 426 strain of Kava, and all are known to be very healthy and good for a balanced life. I don't know if you like coffee or not, but either way you should really try Kava. Take a look at their site to learn more.

Do or Die for the Vikings

I really love the Minnesota Vikings, but I must say that they are an unimpressive 1-3 at this point in the season. They really need to win against the Chicago Bears to keep them in contention for the NFC North. Tavaris Jackson is in his first game back for his hamstring injury that he suffered a few weeks ago. So we'll just have to see what happens I guess. Hopefully all goes well?!?!

Fantasy Football

I need a big day today in my fantasy football league. I am 3-2 right now which puts me tied for 3rd place. I've lost a couple of close match ups and can only hope that I can get on a winning streak and win some games to put me up on top! If you have never taken part in a fantasy football league before, you definitely should give it a try. It's really a lot of fun!!

Planning a Trip

Planning a vacation can be quite the stressful job!! My wife and I would really like to plan a vacation to Orlando at some point, but were kind of concerned how we were going to find all the information we would need to plan a fun and memorable vacation. I mean, there are so many sites out there, how do you choose?? Well, for us anyways, we are looking into Thinkflorida.co.uk, because they make it easy to plan a vacation. The reason is because they have everything you need to plan a great trip right on one site. You don't have to waste time surfing the web. They provide a car rental service, ticket information, online booking for Pool Homes, a Florida Holiday Villa, Condo's and more! If this sounds like something you'd like to try the next time you plan a trip as well, then check out their site today to learn more!

T-Minus 14 days!!

There is only 14 more days before Jenna is due with our first baby. I am so excited to be a Dad. It makes me nervous to think that we could be very busy at work, which would make it hard for me to be available right away when I get the call. All I can hope for is that it rains that day. Either way though, I will be taking off quickly....someone will just have to replace me out in the field!! The birth of our baby is more important than any job.:)

Another Rainy Day

I can't say that I am disappointed that it's raining today. Because if it wasn't raining I would be working and I would honestly rather be watching the NFL. I told my wife that I am torn, see with it being busy season for work, this is where I make all my bonus money. But I also like to go to church on Sunday's with my wife and watch my Vikings.

Baby Store

Having a baby can be such a wonderful time. For new parents though, it can also be a time with lots and lots of questions. Some of the questions my wife and I have are those concerning baby items, stores, services etc. We are first time parents, so often it's nice to get opinions and direction from those who have already been where we are. That's why I like Lilaguide.com. They are a website/baby shop that makes it easy for parents to find the information they're looking for from real parents! On their site you can find reviews of baby products, services, gear and so much more!! I like the fact that the site is so user-friendly too. It's really easy to find the things you are looking for quickly. Take a look today and see what you think.

3 weeks

I can't believe we only have 3 weeks left until our baby is due. I'm really looking forward to being a dad, and I know Jen is really looking forward to being a mom. We've been waiting to meet our little one for 9 months now, and can't wait until he/she arrives so we can finally hold them in our arms. It will be so awesome...I hope these next three weeks go by quickly.

Score

Is your child in need of an Innovative Tutor? If so, then you should look into Score Learning centers. They help children ages 4-14 make academic progress in the areas in which they struggle. They do so through an innovative tutoring environment that makes learning fun for the children. I definitely think this is a place that my wife and I will consider sending our children if they are needing some additional help with their studies. Take a look at Score and see if they're someone you would turn to to help your own children.

Nice Day

Today has turned out to be such a beautiful day! The weather is just gorgeous. There was no rain today, so thankfully we were able to get some work done out in the fields. It was so clear out today and the temps were so enjoyable! I love it when it's not too hot and not too cold. I wish every day were like today. I think tomorrow is supposed to be nice, but then Friday it's supposed to rain again. Oh well, I guess that's how it goes.
