Father's Day Card

Here's the card that I received for my first Father's Day:

Top 10 things I've learned from my Husband
10. Whatever you're watching, there's got to be something better on another channel.
9. Never wash dishes if there are still some clean ones left.
8. There's nothing wrong with asking directions if you're lost-but we're NOT LOST!!
7. A job worth doing is not necessarily worth doing now.
6. A movie without explosions is like Mountain Dew without caffeine.
5. Never put on any article of clothing until youve sniffed it first.
4. There is no such thing as too much cheese.
3. If the car won't start, open the hood, rub you're chin, and keep repeating, "Hmmmm..."
2. If it involves a ball, a scoreboard, and injuries, it's worth watching.
1. I'm an extremely lucky woman.

Happy Father's Day All!!!

Is This Selfish?

The other day, while sitting down trying to feel the Baby move, Mindy asked me what my greatest fear for our daughter was. What a question! When I really sat down to ponder it though, I realized that my worst fear for our daughter was that I would somehow affect her life in a negative way. I am absolutely petrified that some decision or action of mine will cause her irreversible harm or handicap her in some way.

The more I think about parenting the more intimidating of a task it seems to be. Will I have what it takes to live up to my responsibilities both to her and to Mindy? If you have never dwelled on the contents of I Timothy 5:8, then give it a look. Quite a sobering verse of scripture and an explicit charge to a husband/father to provide for his family.

The family

The Ladies of my Life...

So it begins...

Well, here I am on beautiful Saturday morning, and where do I choose to be? In front of a computer, just like every other day of the week.

Don't be fooled, being a geek isn't easy!
