The Instructor is in...

Well as those of you whom read Marla's blog you know that I accepted a teaching position at Alvin Community College. I will be teaching the introduction to Process Piping Design and Drafting course. Last night was the first night of the course. I basically just introduced the class and let them know what we will cover in the class. I hope that the course will go well and I am excited about teaching the course. The only down size is that when I got home last night Kate was already in bed so I missed seeing her at all yesterday. So that was a bummer. I didn't really think it would affect me like that but I was pretty bummed. The class is a Tuesday, Thursday class so at least I will only miss her on two nights and I'm still off on Fridays.
Have a great weekend.

Saturday...

Today I feel so much better it's hard to believe I was sick last week. Marla made a comment to me, that I need to start reading more inspiring books again so that I can share it with the two people that read this blog.

So first let me say I am sorry to those of you how read this blog earlier today. Marla pointed out the mistakes and corrected them for me. Now as for that inspiration I talked about. I'm not reading anything I would call inspiring, but I do have a few suggestions. If you liked Super Man growing up as a kid, you should read Book of Lies by Brad Moltzer. This is an interesting look at several things. It's just a cool read. If you like it also read Book of Fate by Brad also. I'm in the middle of it and it is pretty good also. I would really like To start reading some autobiographies, if there are any you suggest please let me know. I'm not looking for historical puposes more for inspiration. I know most of my inspiration in the past was due to surfing books, but I hope to broaden my field of view. So what can I leave you with tonight that will inspire you for tomorrow? I'm not sure, maybe this "live for every minute for that minute may be your last".

Such A long Week...

Man this week drug on forever. First on Tuesday I got back to the rat Race after a very long weekend and had to deal with all the stuff I missed out on Monday. I started to feel like poo on Wednesday and it just got worse on Thursday. Man I was feeling bad. So bad in fact that when I got home Thursday I went to bed by 7:30pm. Thanks to my lovely wife who allowed me to go to bed so early. That I believe is what maid my feel better today. Hopefully I will be back to normal tomorrow. As for tonight Marla has become infatuated with Guitar Hero. She denies it and says she is making due since we don't have Rock Band. If only you could see her pretending to be a hard rocker. Well not much plans for this weekend hopefully it will be quit and uneventful but that is yet to be determined. Have a good weekend.

New Years Day...

So yesterday started off well. Kate and I laid around on the coach till 10:00 or so. She need to take a nap so I hug out with her while she did. Then we all got dressed and headed out to Alvin, so Kate could spend the afternoon with Gma & Papa. This enabled Marla and I to go out and watch a movie and have dinner. We saw Marlie and me. The movie was great ( Jennifer Aniston was in it WOW ) but the story is very serious and sad. Yes I said sad if your eyes don't at least tier up your dead inside. So Marla caused us to be depressed on our anniversary. Other than that we had a great day.

Today we are on our way to Austin for Ben Fairs wedding tomorrow. Yes I said on my way Marla is driving and I'm posting a blog from my iPhone. I'm in the wedding so we have to be there for the rehearsal. At least we will get a free meal out of it. Tomorrow we will stay the night in San Antonio with my folks. They got use a room in the hotel they are staying in. Then we will head home on Sunday some time.

I hope every body is well and under way to reaching there New Years resolutions. I know that every body said to lose weight, but other than that I would love to hear what else y'all came up with. I need something else to fix. Have a great weekend.

Happy New Year...

Happy New Year every body. Last night we went to bed before the ball dropped. We are old folks I guess, actually Kate keep us up all night the night before so it was just hard to stay awake. Today is Marla and I's anniversary. It has been an incredible 4 years. I still fill like the luckiest guy in the world. Thank you sweet heart for being such a great and wonderful wife and mother. As for Kate she is doing good she's napping on my chest on the coach right now. I think she might be trying to cut her first tooth. She's been very fussy lately and when she was gnawing on my finger I felt something that felt like a tooth. But I guess we will just have to wait and see. Have a safe and happy New Year.
