Keeping the bloggin going...

I sometimes wish I could have some really exciting things to blog about, and if I really thought about it, i could probably come up with some interesting stuff but I'm always posting right before I fall asleep.

Some new news, Jaden and Jana are both playing soccer now. Poor Javin I think feels a little left out. So we bring a ball just for Javin to their practices and I kick it around with him until he gets bored with it, which isnt' long. Jana was extremely hesitant in playing soccer until we made her at least go to her first practice. She did very well and since she feels like she is good at it she's all about playing soccer now. Jaden is cool with soccer and is still finishing up his last two basketball games as well. It turns out he's pretty atheletic and when he understands the game he really takes off with it. Question is now, are we ever going to put Jana in dance? Eh, I say martial arts would be better...hehe.

I'm pluggin along at school and so is Jen. My busy schedule just got busier at the radio station and I got a whole bunch of work dropped on me on a weekly basis in the form of uploading commericials into the playlist...dern it. I've honestly seriously thought about quitting the radio station. I love working there but I'm getting stretched thin. Two more people lost their jobs there and they really can't operate is I quit just because they're so short on people now so that's keeping me from making a decision. That and the fact that my program director for our Top 40 station is my DJ partner. But I really don't want to quit this job.

We've also been successful in booking more weddings which means mo money, mo money, mo money, mo!

The big thing coming up is me and Jen's cruise. We just booked some shore excursions tonight online and we'll get to go see some ancient Lamanite ruins...woohoo!

Valentines day was great. Me and Jen went to dinner and then went shopping for her traditional Valentines day gift. I also made her a slow songs CD with some voice tracks in between the songs of me doing a cheesy love song DJ voice on top of some mood music. It's pretty hilarious and it worked well because she was laughing so hard all her make up was running before we got to dinner.

Thanks for reading...proud to blog.

Can't sleep...why?

I'm currently trying to fall asleep because I have a BUSY weekend ahead of me. So I figured blogging about it might make me tired so that I can avoid taking my sleeping medicine. My sleep medicine really makes me groggy. But just in case you're wondering how my weekend is going to go, here is my schedule as follows:

I gotta stop this nonsense...
And i'm still wired so I'm going to take my sleep medicine.
g'night...

New year

So 2010 has started showing a positive outlook. I'm still going to school and Jen and I went back last week. Thankfully I'm not taking any filthy science classes. Actually, I'm DONE with science. I squeaked by my anatomy and physiology class with a D but that is passing here, so Woohoo! Even though I changed my major from nursing to mass communication I've decided that I'm more than likely going to end up in a federal law enforcement career. So a major change to criminal justice or psychology may be in order with a minor whichever out of those two I decide not to major in. We'll see how it plays out.

Me and another DJ, Dave Roberts from the radio station, bought a table at a bridal show and advertised our services as wedding DJ's. So far I believe we have 10 weddings booked. It may prove to add more stress to my already hectic schedule but we make really good money doing this. So i'm hoping we can do well and get a reputation for us. I'm only worried about it affecting my dispatch job since I work nights and will need someone to cover me while I do the weddings.

I finally started going back to the gym and after going with Jen for two weeks straight I started having some SEVERE abdominal pains. So bad that I ended up going to the ER one night. They had to give me two doses of morphine to kill the pain. I had x-rays and blood tests as well as a sonogram I paid $500 for and they all showed nothing. I now have to go to a regular physician and find out what is going on. It happened on 4 different occasions and hasn't hit me in a while. But I really don't want to wait for it to happen again.

Jaden is finishing up his basketball season and we signed him and Jana both up for soccer. I'm more excited about this since I can practice at home with them both whereas I had not 8ft basketball goal to practice with Jaden during his basketball season. He has improved a lot since playing. He steals the ball every chance he gets, dribbles really well and isn't afraid to take shots on goal even though he hasn't made any shots during a game. I'm sure he'll do fine in soccer too, but Jana on the other hand, if she doesn't like something it's hard to get her to do it. So hopefully she likes soccer. Javin is being a little booger and testing the waters on what he can or cannot do around the house. We also incorporated scripture reading with our nightly prayer and songs and it seems to be doing well.

Jen and I are getting geared up for our cruise that we are taking in March for our 7th anniversary. We're really excited, especially since I've been bugging her for us to take and actual vacation/honeymoon ever since we've been married. We hope to come back tan and relaxed. The kiddos are going to be staying with my mom and sisters for the 5 days we are away. The cruise goes down to Cozumel from Galveston with Carnival cruise.

I'm tired of typing so Holla!
