The American Dream

                                         And there it is.

We still believe in the American Dream. Both Darlene and I have owned a house before, but for both of us this feels like our first time. We have been looking forward to this for a few years now. Our hard work is paying off and we will have our own place again.

The kids will no longer be sharing a room and we will have plenty of room for our families and friends to visit us.

Our closing date is next week. The house needs a bit of work. It is dirty and needs a little bit of new paint, but we are excited to start working on it.

My goal is to use this blog as a way of sharing our adventures. To show before and after photos on our work and possibly some videos to go along with them.

Schooled

As many of you know I have been going back to school for my IT-Networking degree from MSTC in Stevens Point.  I am in my 3rd semester.  I have 2 semesters left.  I will be doing another full time semester this next spring.  I did full time last spring and it was rough.  Hopefully it won't kill me like last semester did.  The plan is that I will graduate next December.  There have been some rough spots, but I made it through.  I am looking forward to finishing up this semester and getting started with the next one.  I will hopefully be doing my internship soon and I am excited to get some on the job experience.

(the end of March)   The G ...

Most Demanding Job in the World

Being a parent is one of the most demanding jobs in the world.  Darlene and I were talking about this last night. It is truly astounding.  Does anyone really ever think about it before they do it?  I mean sure, have a baby.  Sounds simple right?  It is just amazing that people can create life, but they are not done at that point.  That is really only the beginning.  That little baby turns into a person, a person like you and I.  It just blows my mind when I think about it.  You are responsible for caring, loving, teaching, etc.  Sharing everything that you know and then some.  It is almost daunting when you think about it.  Yet people have been doing it for years! Maybe I sound like I am talking crazy, but just sit down and think about it. Something for you to "Think on Thursday" about.
