This last week....

Well this last week was a lot to take in. Friday was my last day in the OSU weight-room. For some, that may not seem like much but for me it is an end to something that has been a part of my life for the past 12 or so years. Things haven't gone as I would have liked them to be within the weight-room but it was worth every minute. I have got to do a lot of things that many would love to have done. There was a price to pay but most days it was so much fun. I have gotten to meet I don't even know how many athletes. Be a part of a lot of amazing things within this run. It makes me sad to think that for now I won't be in there anymore.

I could tell more than ever that this was going to be hard when I found myself watching the NFL draft. May not seem like much but it's really cool to see guys you have worked with and got to know make it to the next level. For so many years I really never gave it much thought because I was going to be with the next years group. I have always loved watching college football. Love game day... the sights and sounds.... the players getting ready.... walking out the tunnel on to the field as 50,000 fans go crazy. What a feeling.

There are many days that I wish I could have been like John and to have been able to play at the next level. Then again the grass isn't always greener on the other side, lol. I say that with the utmost respect to John. He was so much fun to play ball with and against growing up.

Maybe somewhere down the road I will get to walk on to that field for game-day again but for now.... time to start the next chapter. For all of you that have been there for me and helped me along the way.... THANK YOU. Been an amazing ride!

On Friday Katrina and I also found out that, for now, we won't be moving to Dallas. We found out that there aren't any routes open down there. Not even a relief driver which is helping out, cover vacations, etc... We are both were very excited about getting down there but it's not in Gods plan just yet. As Mike said, "God isn't through with us here in Stillwater yet". We both are taking it good. Would have been nice to move now but there is still alot of upside to staying here. Katrina and I plan on enjoying some time with each other. Something we couldn't really do before with me working in the weight-room.

First on the dock-it is to go see Mike, Emily and Grayson this tuesday. There are a lot of things we want to do and are looking forward to being able to do them. Will be nice to go down and see John and Celia this summer. We both plan on seeing our friends more. Katrina and I have been married almost a year and really haven't go much "us" time. Super excited about getting to spend time with my beautiful wife. Crazy I know, lol.

Well..... a lot to take in but ready for what God has in store for us. Once again, thanks for everything and please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Ceremonies honor OKC bombing victims

Just wanted to take a moment and remember what happened in Oklahoma City....

On April 19, 1995 a federal office tower in Downtown Oklahoma City was the target of a home-grown terrorist attack.

168 people died in the bombing at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

Monday, they were honored at the site - which is now a memorial, a tribute to those victims and the legacy of hope they've left behind.


Love each of you!!!!

Another busy week.... But enough time for some Baseball

This last week was a busy week but a very good week. On Tuesday night Katrina and I watched a classic OSU vs OU baseball game here in Stillwater, Ok. For most of you reading this you may be asking whats the big deal about that. Well it was the first Bedlam baseball clash played on a campus site since 1996 and the game was counted as a non-conference tilt. Additionally, it was the first extra-inning Bedlam affair since 2005.

It was a great night for baseball and the OSU Cowboys came out on top against the number 11 ranked sooners 7-6. Something relaxing about sitting at the ballpark. For me and my can't stop moving world it was really nice to hang out with Katrina there too. The fact the OSU won was a nice touch as well.

Watching this game also made me think of another classic game. Check this out...

100 Best Movie Lines in 200 Seconds

Amazing how many of these movies I have seen...

Update on Moving

Things are moving in the right direction but not fast enough. Since the last time I talked on here we have found someone to buy our bread route. This is a really good thing seeing is how they wont let me move within the company if I don't have someone to replace me here in Stillwater. We are still waiting on my boss to hear if they have any open routes that we can buy down in Texas. Once we find that out it will be "GO" time and that makes me so happy. The more Katrina and I talk about moving the more excited we get. Hard to believe we are really going to do this. I think Katrina and I will feel even better about this once we know we have a bread route to go to.

In the last post I had said we heard about a route that was open for us to buy... well. I had talked with him on friday about the route down in Dallas. My boss was getting the numbers together for us and when I talked to him that next Tuesday he had sold the route. Not sure it would have been the best for us but made me kinda sick that we were so close and just like that it was gone. Sure all will work out but been hard this last week not knowing if we have a job to go to. As I think I said before if we don't have a route to go to then we will probably stay here in Stillwater ( which we really don't want to do ). To many things have worked for us on this for it not to all work out in the end....
