It's Been a While

Wow... I forgot that I had this thing. There has been so much going on since I last wrote. I believe that the last time I talked about work I was still at Coca-Cola. Well, not any more. I actually just had my last day at a company called First American Payment Systems. It was a hard departure because they were such a great company to work for. I had only been there for about 6 months but I had made some GREAT friends. And for those who don't know why I'm leaving, let me explain. About a month and a half ago (maybe 2 months now) we just found out that my wife's mom has cancer, and lung cancer at that. It's extremely unbelievable because she has never smoked a day in her life. Doctors think that it was from second hand because her parents smoked. Well, it is just her mom and dad that live up there and they are going to need some help. Up there meaning New Jersey. So my wife and I have taking upon ourselves to move there and help out. Keep in mind that I have lived in Texas just about all my life. Except for the time that I was in the military. I'm excited about the move though. Hopefully I will have my very first white Christmas ever.

Now for the big news, I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!!!!! We found out about 3 months ago, and about 4 days ago we found out that it is going to be a boy. We have decided on Parker Michael as the name. I can't even tell you how excited I am. I have waited for this for so long. We have already had the baby shower here since we are about to leave. We have got some great stuff. Seeing all the little baby clothes really makes me want it to hurry and get it here. I cant wait to do all the fun stuff with Parker that I did as a kid with my dad. Still there is only one little thing that I can't seem to get over. Call me proud (maybe too proud) but I was born in Texas, my siblings were born in Texas, my parents and most their parents were born in Texas, but Parker will be born in New Jersey. Yup, that's right. He will be a northerner. Mmmm... I don't know if I like that. HA HA... Well there is nothing that I can really do though. To tell you the truth I don't care where we are when he comes as long as he is healthy. Well, I have to get back to my packing. We only have a few days left before the move. We head out on Dec. 15th. Which is this Friday. Wish me luck.
