Every extra minute counts

This morning I awoke early enough to watch my alarm go off, so I did the usual morning thing, shower, shave and I got ready for work. My beautiful wife need to get ready also, so I kissed her and was ready to head out the door. I then heard our daughter start to talk through the baby monitor, so I went in and sat on her big girl bed with her while she talked about her toes. We watched blue's clues and waited for mommy to be done with her morning routine. I was really close to being late for work, but it would have been worth it for the few extra minutes I got to spend with her today. I got hugs, and all the enjoyment of being a dad by spending that time with her. although she usually asks for her mommy, I know she loves me, and I know she knows I love her.

Watchin' fofa take a bath in a teapot

It is so cool to me to watch our Daughter grow and learn. It is making glad to be a dad. Today it was watching her climb the stairs like a big girl, then watching her interact with her yo gabba gabba guys. She was giving one of them a bath in a teapot. She is learning so much I only hope I am smart enought to keep teaching her. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I will continue to try hard to do what is best. Thank God I am not alone in this, with the love and help from my wife, God, and family she will grow up to be smart like her mommy.

My little girl's eyes

When I sit her on the computer desk I can look straight into the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. They say so much even if she isn't speaking to me. I see her happiness and her little mind working on things. I also see my beautiful wife. I can also see trouble. She will be a handful as she grows and I can't wait for the adventure to continue. she will be a challenge like I have never had, but I won't be alone with my bride with me we will bringing a world of happiness unto her. I love my family and can't go one day without telling the world so.

The love of my life

I was a very lonely man through out my twenties, I had many girl friends but not a one of them I ever thought I was going to marry. I drank all the time, party to the wee hours of the morning, never cared once about the damage I was causing, both to my body, brain and sanity. I was an Asshole to everyone i worked with and didn't care if they liked me or not. I was taught that respect thru fear was still respect. So I tattooed my body, pierced my ears, and became the monster. Now don't get me wrong to my family I was always there, but they saw very little of me, holidays, and occasionally elsewhere. I wanted to end my life on many an occasion, but never succeed. For that I am greatful. On valentine's day in 2005, I had just finished a terrible blind date, went on line and "winked" at my now wife. She responded, we started "IMing" and we decided we should talk. The moment I started to talk to her I knew I was ready to fix my life. After our 3rd date I knew I was going to marry her. After 6 weeks I proposed, she said yes. We married less then a year later. I love her more and More each and every day. she has given me things no other woman ever has, a beautiful little girl, and unconditional love. I am who I am not who I was, and she loves me for it. Hence she is the love of my life.

Mother"s Day

So this holiday I love, and this one for sure. Our little Girl ,having just reach two years old, is starting to get more involved with the gifts for my wife. She helped me pick out the flowers we got for her mom to plant in her flower pots. I had a terrible evening at work the night before, and the night before that. But when i got home, saw my wife sleeping in our bed with our little one, I knew today would be a special day. I am making homemade mexican food for my family. My sister is making a dessert to bring, it is the one day when my mom doesn't have to cook. I still have to work this evening, having to deal with college kids who are either having to study for finals and forgot to ask for the day off, or college kids who's whole lives revolve around drinking, and parting. I will make it through today, and throught the rest of them until the day I find a job where the kids don't have such emotional roller coasters. I know tonite when I get home I will be met with a loving hug, a good night kiss, and the love of a real family.
