New position come Monday

I have been promoted to the sales department at my work. I will be running sales routes of salesman that are on vacation. The new job has some perks like a blackberry and a company vehicle that I get to take home. I didn't technically receive a pay raise, but $4o less a week in gas will be nice. Not to mention oil changes and wear and tear on my Jeep. I will be giving updates over the next couple of weeks on how it is going.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND VOTE!!!

Please take one minute of your time to vote for this dog. http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/PhotosAlbums/PhotoView.aspx?qsi=16078937

If they win the contest that will pay for the dogs food for the remainder of it's life.

The dog goes with people to court (mostly young kids) when they have to testify. The court has another dog named sam. They have so many requests they needed another.

A story about an 8 year old girl that had to testify against her rapist and long story short she wasn't handling it very well until she met sam (the dog) who got to go with her. She went from clinging to every fixed object in the court house begging not to go in the room to pointing at the guy saying he did it! It has made a big impact.

All of the dogs are rescued from a shelter as well.

Netflix

This weekend we finally decided to sign up for netflix's and it is awesome. We spent the weekend watching movies on our laptop. We watch 3 movies and my daughters watch 4 shows. Netflix's is totally worth the money and I can't believe it took me so long to decide to sign up. Many people have tried to get me to sign up and I was always resistant for some reason. Just wanted to let you all know that if you don't have it you are missing out.

Another Social Website

So I have joined a new social website and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It was cool tonight linking myself to my friends and family, but will it last? I only have a Myspace account to spy on my little sister and cousin. I don't see them very often but I like to make sure they are not getting into to trouble. My guess is that the fun of Facebook will just go away like Myspace did. I have the blog and Twitter to inform people about me.

So what do you like best to communicate with friends and family?

Myspace?

Facebook?

Twitter?

Blogger?

Instant Messenger?

Email?

Telephone?

US Postal Service?

I use all of them.

My girl

I have the most amazing wife!!! She is also the glue that keeps me, our family, and our house together. I never thought I would ever be able to find such an amazing women to spend my life with. She hard working, strong, loyal, loving, understanding, and extremely sexy. I could never be the man I' am today without her. The amazingly deep feelings I feel for my wife could never be put into words.

Kristina I love you. I hope that all the grief my offspring and I cause you, you understand how much we love you. Have a safe trip home and I can't wait to see you tomorrow.

Queit home

I came home on Sunday night and left my family back in California until Thursday. The quiet, lonely night makes it actually hard to sleep. I thought it would be great, going to bed early and getting some good rest. Every night, I'm really tired but just can't fall asleep. I miss my girls and can't wait to have the noise back on Thursday night so I can get a good nights sleep.

Back to reality

Reality set back in yesterday when I arrived back into Phoenix from being in California for 10 days. I love the beach, the fresh air, and visiting great people. My allergies have been a mess since I stepped out of the car and the heat punched me in the face. I want to breath the fresh ocean air again, not the dust ball I'm back in. Life goes on and my dream is still at the beach.

Vacation!!!

I will be on vacation next week and I think I'm going to take a break from blogging. I have tons of stuff to say but can't say any of it out loud right now. Life is traveling at lightning speed, and I think I need to slow it down and enjoy it. You can still follow me on Twitter all week. I'm going to be consuming instead of producing.

The shake down.

I love the beach and California but I always feel that they are due for a big earthquake. I'm really not scared of an earthquake, I just don't like the idea of mother earth trying to shake me off. I'm also concerned about not being with my girls if one happens. I would freak out if I know they were in one and I was across town or something. I hope mother nature is ok with me being in Cali next week and doesn't try to shake me off.

I of course read some news that started this blog today about the San Adreas fault. http://twitter.com/BreakingNews/status/2554256206

Fabulous fourth in the mountains.

I spent my Fourth of July weekend in the Heber, Arizona. I have been going to this celebration of the Fourth in Heber for about 15 years now. I love it, and it is one the greatest firework displays I have ever seen. They start the day off with a parade then move to an all day carnival / Craft fair. There something nice to be said about enjoying the Fireworks in a light weight jacket because it is in the high 60's for a temperature.

How did you spend you fourth?
