Let the Blogging Begin!!!

"What...Wait... It can't be... HAHAHA yes it's reallly me, jumping on the band wagon and joining the scene." Blogging as bloggers do, telling people what is new, so friends of mine I am here at last to vent and cry and laugh with the best. (nice way to start my blog aaay!)

Stan and Debbie were here recently and Stan is my oldest brother of the siblings.(Let me take you back many years) My brother was my best friend growing up and he helped me become the independent side of me and confident side of me. From playing football to baseball we were inseparable. He went on to join the army because back then thats what you do is join the army, Dad was military and so on up the lineage. I however was going to go Air force because I got the brains of the family, and knew that if I was to ever go into the military, then I wanted the family oriented style of military. However I did decide not to go in. However my brother while in the army was in Bosnia, Somalia, Panama, and other political crap the president got us into. He lasted about 7 years and got out after my nephew, his son died in my parents back yard pool. This was the beginning of a 10 year cold war between our family where I lost contact with him because he separated himself from the family because it was hard on him.

Divorces were a dime a dozen and hit the family like Katrina hit New Orleans. My brother Stan got divorced from his wife, I got divorced from mine, then my parents and my brother David as well(another story but for psychotic blogs only). It was a tragic year for all of us. Mom went to jail because thats what happens to moms that watch kids who doesn't have a day care license and their nephew dies in the pool, locked up for 5 years and we all started the grieving process.
My mother became more crazy because thats what mothers do who get locked up for stupid life changing events.

Stan moved on with his life and disappeared for many years and I didn't know where he went.
I moved on with my life and did a college internship at Disney World for 6 months. Came home and moved to Salt Lake City. I worked for Corporate for Holiday Inn and then I met Tracy on LDSSO(Later Day Saints Singles Online) and we agreed to meet. Found out that her friends were my same friends and we didn't even know it until she came to visit on her way to meet her friends in California. That was a sign to me. Her visit with me went so well she never made it to California. We had a great week, she went back to Montana, I went to visit her two weeks later and moved her back to Salt Lake because i was not leaving Montana with out her.

This is where our lives changed for ever. We flew to Dallas to meet the Wynne family(thanks Dad I will never forget you for that) Stayed with Adam and Sonia. After we got home we got married a few months later in Vegas through the drive through because of family not wanting to work with us on a temple date we decided not to wait and just go do it and tell everyone later. I remember Reverend Hickey(Nice name for the pastor aaay!) stuck his head in the car and married us. What a story it makes for our kids. We laugh to this day.

Tracy got pregnant with Jeffrey Jr and we moved to Texas as she was close to delivering him and to allow her to be close to her sisters. Though she rarely sees them its nice because we do make it to the family functions. Jeffrey has enjoyed growing up around them all.

I worked at Rent A Center(Thanks Adam) then I got hurt. This opened the door for me to get my college degree and get a 4.0 GPA, and Most Outstanding Graduate Award. No one else in my family can say they got that!!! Work has been tough and being in the IT field it gets that way. From Contract Job to Contract Job until we land that full timer, its touch and go. We have had our struggles some more then others, but for some reason we cant get rid of each other. I guess Heavenly Father just has something else in mind for us and being divorced is not the answer. Tracy is pregnant with the 2nd child and has not had as many complications as she did with Jeffrey Jr. Though she is more moody, I hope this is not a sign that our little girl will be like that.

My brother L J (20yrs old) lives with Tracy and I because when my parents are not the answer for him and my other siblings do not have the patience, someone needs to help him get his life on track, so I being the closest to him have taken on that task. Though its hard on Tracy I do see my brothers improvements with life decisions(no he is not going on a mission) but he is working two jobs and will be moving out this fall and getting a roommate. If we move to Denver he is going to stay with my mother until he finds a roommate in Denver. He has already said that he doesn't want to go back to moms. Its nice to have family here around me because it helps keep me sane. He has been a huge help financially, pays the electric, TV, and internet which adds up to a lot of savings that Tracy and I would end up having to pay.

So you are caught up on a lot of things in the past, and now its on to the present. I may take a step back here and there but its to catch you up on some things so you fully understand where I am at.

Just remember, keep looking up because thats where it all is!!
