All I have to say is this woman is my dreams come true. I love her so much I really don’t know what I would do without her. she has been my best friend for 17 years and the love of my life for the last 15 years. I never knew that love could be so powerful. There is nothing I would not do for her.

We are doing very well these last few months I think. Oh course it does not matter what I think cause I am wrong. . . Just kidding!

We are trying to have our 4th child yes we are trying to have another little girl. Simply because we messed the last one up and would like a do over! ! ! Ha man I am funny. No we want and have planned on having one for sometime now. I hope to spend the rest of my life with her I love her more than words could ever describe.

Hello,

Well I know it has been a long time since I have left a new comment so I will do my best to catch you up.

We have been in our house for over a year now and all the kids have made it another year. The kids are getting so big. All are doing well in school, except Joshua he is struggling a little, but he is trying to do his best. We have him in after school tutoring. Anthony is an “A” and “B” student and Chantell . . . . . Well she is doing what she can.

Anthony was attacked by a dog a few months ago here are Pictures. It was bad, but it could have been worse. He is o.k. now and I hope to have the Pictures of the bite wounds up ASAP.

Joshua in deep in love with girls these days. . . Funny though he has been grounded for almost two months now. UMMM. . . wonder what he did. I wont and can’t get into that.

Chantell is a little princes and the best behaved child you have ever seen in your life. NOT !! she is a good girl except she is a little whiner and well completly spoiled.

As for me I am trying to keep my word more theses days and look for another job and do something more fulfilling. I have learned allot these last few months about myself and what I want. The next step in putting things in motion to get those thing done.

Mom and Dad are doing well and have help Carrie and I out allot. They are in this just as much as we are. Dad has been at his job over a year now and mom is getting another job closer to the house since Dad has to drive her to and from work.

Sherrie and Eric are still together. Sherrie has been a great help to us as well. Even though she is mean and loud all the time to everyone we all still love her.. On that note we are excepting applications for her position in the family. We require that you be at least 18 years, nice attitude also have a job! Please summit your resumes.

I know this post is late, but I have been very busy.

We celebrated Anthony’s 10th birthday with a cake and one gift. All of you might be thinking wait one GIFT? ? Well money was short this time. However we did spend $140.00 on the one gift. Anthony only wanted two things this year, DC shoes and a skate board. Well we managed to get one and I am sure by the price you know it was not the shoes.

Anthony has one more year behind him. I hope he has learned allot this last year I have had to be tough on him. He does well in school and for the most part does well at home too. I have and am still trying to teach him about being responsible for his own actions and for the things we look to him to do. But of course at this age he thinks we are just being unfair parents. I hope one day he can look back and really understand what was going on what I and his mom have been trying to get him to see.

I know Anthony will grow into a great man one day. He is full of confidence and has big plans in what he want to do in his life. I believe in him I know he can do anything he puts his mind to. HE IS MY HERO! !

With all my heart NEE NEE I love you!

Out of all my children I would have to say that Anthony and I are the most alike. We have same sense of humor aditude and anger. His temper is quick, he has what is called the “Short fuse” problem. Any little thing can set him off. Last night his sister made a mess and Anthony told her to pick it up. Of course she has not going to so he got mad when she threw a straw at him, and then he pushed her into the wall. I was not home yet at the time this happened or it would have never got that far in the first place.

Well I got home and sat him down and asked him what the deal was? He told me his story and that he was sorry. I told him look son I know you! I know your anger I know how you feel inside. I explained to him that I had the same anger as a kid. I told him that anger will not get you anywhere but in trouble. I said son anger is a hard emotion to control, but you have to learn how to deal with it in a better way. Anger blinds you it will control and consume you inside and out. I let him know that, I as a kid had a very hard time controlling my anger and it got the best of me and I wound up in allot of trouble for it.

I let him know that for all the hopes and dreams he has in life and the things he wants to become, that if he can’t control his anger then he will never be able to accomplish what he needs to in order to reach those goals. The conversation was longer than this and I am keep some of those things we shard last night to myself. I hope I helped him and he should know I will always be there for him he is my nee nee my little big man and I love him and all my kids.

For the first time in a while i felt like a good father last night! i felt like I was doing my part in his life to making him a good person so he can become a good man!

Well another Valentine’s Day came and went. Nothing special happened got Carrie some flowers and a card. Then we had something to eat. I was bummed cause I did not win the lottery not even close.

Yesterday my oldest son got a nice fat black eye. It looks nice but to bad he did not fight back though. I do not encourage the kids to fight but you just can’t let people come up to you and smack you around. Anyway peeps that is it for now

Love ya peace

Hello Everybody.

Well 2007 is here and 2006 in behind us. The family had a good Christmas and a very boring new year. New things to look foward to this year. Me and Carrie’s 15th aniversery is this month on the 10th. Very exciting seeing’s how I did not think we would make it at times, but we did none the less and things Seem to be going well for us.

The kids will all be turning a year older very soon. I will hit the ripe old age of 30 this year. I hope to have new pictures and to keep up on family events better. I work two jobs right now and I don’t see that changing any time soon. As a matter of fact I am at work right now writing this.

Bye for now! ! ! : )

Hello,

I guess it has been a while since I wrote anything and since Carrie’s birthday is coming up on the 25th this would be a perfect time to write something.

Carrie and I have been together 15 years this coming January. I have known her for about 17 years. I remeber the first time I saw her after we moved in to the apartments where she lived. I was 15 and on house arrest, yes that ‘s right house arrest. I saw her sitting on the wall by the stairs just left of the mailboxes. She was sitting there with her friend April and Justin was goofing around with them.

This first time I met her I was going to check the mail and this kid bobby was chasing her with a cup of water and she jump right into my arms. (I knew she wanted me from that day) I found out her name and meet the other people Tony Jason Cathy and the rest of the Glendale west crew.

Well I must have chased Carrie for 6-7 months before she went out with me. Oh and then she broke up with me two days later after that for hanging up on her. (I know what a Bitoch huh just kidding) Well we wound up going back out that day. FYI – I lost my virginity to her. But not before her dad caught me dry humping her butt, man that was so embarrassing.

Anyway Carrie and I had our first son shortly and then two years latter during a black out our second son was conceived. Then we moved to Ohio and had our daughter. We are now back in Arizona and we have a house.

I left alot of stuff in-between out cause I would never stop typing if I had to include everything.

I will say this Carrie and I been through alot. Mostly crap I have done. She has always been there for me, supporting and loving me. I will say I think out of all the stuff we have been though these last two years have been the roughest. We have hardly seen each other and have grown apart. We have been working opposite work schedules and I have been working two jobs for the last few months. We lost a special bond that we had together and that kills me. But we are trying to fix that.

I love you Carrie and I always will! I see you and my heart smiles, and my soul burns with passion. I have never had a better friend than you in my life and never will. I love you for all the reason I tell you and for so many I can never find the words to express to you. No matter what I will always be there for you like you have for me, not because I owe you but because I love you with an undying passion in my soul that I will never be able to explain.

Happy birthday BABY! ! ! I hope to celebrate many more with you.

Hello Everyone,

We closed on the house on August 25th Friday. We got the keys at 3:45 pm that same day and were completely moved in that same night. We are almost all settled in. We are all very happy and GREATFUL to everyone that made it possible.

First with our realtor Kimberly Lawler, she was awsome from start to finish. She never mislead us or misrepsented our expectations for a house. She was very through in her research. She was always available to us when we needed her. There is even a bigger gift she gave us which if she did not we would not have gotten the house. She gave us a part of her commission she got. $****.** I did not disclose the amount until I ok that with Kimberly who we welcome as a new member of our family. Thank you Kim so much for everything. kimberlylawler@cox.net

We went with Courtland homes where we met Matt Decker he was a nice and very professional man. He encouraged me to try and get the house after my hopes were broken. He to was one of the many people I called ALL THE TIME. He was very courteous and helpful even today when I asked him another question over the phone. www.courtlandhomes.com

Next to Colonial Mortgage, Greg was so great and easy to work with. I believe he did everything he possibility could to get us the best program and rates on our house. I hounded this man and the rest of his staff with phone calls and emails. They never complained nor did they ever become rude over there. They answered all my questions. In my opinion they are the best of the best. Also a special thanks to Nancy and Lauren. Oh and the people in the secret room.

Last but not least First American Title Company. I worked with Tisha a nice bright young lady that explained everything to Carrie and I very clearly. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. She was very nice to us and treated us with a great deal of respect. tnhernandez@firstam.com

In all I give these people TENS all they way across the board in every catorgory.

Thanks all of you

Hello everyone, a little update here we are closing this Friday the 25th. There was a little confusion on the other end, but today I was told the underwriter gave us the final approval today. They started the loan papers today too. There is one thing they are waiting on, and that is my SS# verification. I know it will come back GOOD TO GO! ! ! To everyone that helped, thanks a bunch. A special thanks to Kimberly who was there and still is through the whole process. She is the newest member in the family and I vow to send her as many referrals as possible.
