The Southern California Redneck

If someone would have said to me 7 years ago that I would be Goose hunting in Northern Virginia with my two older boys I would have never be lived them.

You see until January of 2002 I had lived my entire life in Southern California. I did California things that did include snow, guns or Geese. I am not the same person that moved to Virginia in 2002. My friends from S Cal call me a redneck, and you know what, I take that as a compliment. The life I have now is at a slower pace, we have four beautiful seasons, and my kids get a few snows days. I would not want to change it for job or money. Who knows what will happen in the next 7 years. So the next time you say "never" think of me ... and remember "Never" is a long time

Life paper

This is a picture that I took of my oldest son's room. He got these banners from our church and wanted to hang them up. I said sure anything would be an improvement over what it looks like now and plus it was a marketing banner for the church so that can not be bad at all. The trick is while this looks cool hanging up in his room it is serving a purpose for him. You see this covers up his closet were he piles everything and now it appears to look clean and organized.

So I ask, what are you covering up in your life? The good, The bad, or The Ugly

Lean & Fit

Every New Year I make the same resolutions. To loose weight and to become more fit. Well 2008 will be a little different while I will try to get into better shape I will not concentrate on how much weight I loose. I read a report over the holiday that spoke about the lack of exercise that American people do. I consider myself to be slightly above couch potato on the activity scale

I am pledging that I will run more (A very slow jog really), ride my bike more, swim a little, and eat less. I am committing myself to 6 events in 2008 several of which will be sprint Triathlons. It is my hope that at the end of 2008 I will be a thinner person but more important healthier.

What is your goal?
