In the beginning

This is our first official attempt at blogging. I'm definately jumping on the band wagon here since everyone else is blogging. Besides, I own a Toyota Prius and it just seemed like the hippie thing to do:P Hopefully this won't be too boring but we'll do our best, if I can get Jen to help, and make it somewhat entertaining.

I (Joshua) just ended my almost 10 year military career in the USAF. I was recently medically discharged while stationed in Ramstein, AB Germany where I was a military working dog handler. Me, my wife Jen, our children Jaden, Jana (pronounced: Yaw-nuh), and Javin (like Gavin) moved back to the Texas heat of Wichita Falls, Tx so that I could attend nursing school at Midwestern State University. Plus, the cost of living here is cheap and I had some good job prospects through some friends. We bought our first house which we love, it's nice and cozy. I work full-time as an ambulance dispatcher, a job I absolutely hate now, but work part-time in my dream job (seriously it has been a dream of mine) as a radio DJ for Gap Broadcasting. Gap has four radio stations and so far I have been on both 929 NIN, my first radio show aired the morning of the 4th of July, and Lonestar 102.3, where I did my first live radio show at a supermarket. I absolutely LOVE working as a radio DJ. I should have some more air time coming up soon. I also registered as a full-time student this fall so I am going to be extremly busy.

Jen is doing well and being very supportive of my busy schedule. She does a great job taking care of J3 (Jaden, Javin, and Jana) and she is still a part-time student at MSU. We even have a class together this fall which should be fun. For once, i'll be with the hottest girl in class! :)

Jaden is getting smarter everyday and wants to "work with the ambulances, and at the radio station, and at the supermarket (he went to my live show and thought i was working there from now on) and sleep all day and work all night (my full-time job is a night shift). I'm just glad he wants to be like his old man. Jana just turned four and when she learned that America's birthday is two days after hers she said she would share her cake with America. Javin has turned into the goofiest kid we have. He is truly a one man show and LOVES to dance whenever I turn on my home DJ equipment.

I'll let you know when more stuff happens....
