Still alive

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alve. Katrina and I are doing really good. She is doing good in her classes and I'm very proud of all her hard work. As for me I am working the bread route. We picked up the OSU account which added 9 new stops to our route. I have been getting up at about 1am everyday we deliver and working tell about 1-2pm. On monday and friday Katrina is able to work with me which is really nice.

I have to much to say and will fill you with stories when I have time. Just wanted to let you know that I am still out here.

Miss each of you and hope each of you are doing well.

One Year Later

So on this day one year ago I got to marry by best friend. It was an amazing day that was so freakin hott!!! Hard to believe that a year with Katrina as my wife has come and gone. With this past year we got to see and do many things. Got to go to from Vegas to NY all in one week. Both places are amazing and a must see but not in the same week. Rob and Tyler gave us a place to stay while we were in NY which was above and beyond. Meant so much to us, seeing as how we had just met them a few months ago at John and Celia's wedding in Costa Rica. It was so much fun to get to see the town and the life with them.

It was a year that we added a new member to our family. We got Diesel our English Bulldog in July. He is getting big and spoiled as can be... what can I say.

With Katrina helping we have grown our bread route which is a good thing. Because of this we made the choice that Katrina would no longer be working at Food Pyramid. She now helps me when she isn't in class but otherwise she is making those "A's" so she can get that good job. I am very proud at how well she is doing in school. Think sometimes she plays with D too much but, he is pretty darn cute.

Working with the OSU football team we went to another bowl game which made 4 in a row. That is something that has never been done so pretty neat to be a part of that. As we have talked about before things have changed and I'm no longer working at OSU. Was a good run and had a blast but for now we are trying something different.

In December we got to head south and spend New Years with the Family down in Dallas. was good to see everyone again and can't wait to move down there. Richard and Sarah were nice enough to host the evening which by the way.... their house was unreal. Who wouldn't want a house with a whole mini house as a "MAN" cave. Oh yeah... it awesome! It felt so good to be there and so glad that John and Celia gave us a place to crash.

For the past few months Katrina and I have been getting to spend lots of time together which has been really nice. From working together to working out it's good to get to see my wife. Well I should get to bed but thanks again for taking the time to read this. One down and many to come....

LA Lakers 83 - Boston 79

Thanks for a Great Birthday!

Simple and sweet... Just how I like it. Worked this morning. Came home to read Johns Blog and get a shout out from him. Got lots of texts from great people. Facebook was blown up which made me feel pretty good too. Had a really good nap. Mom cooked us dinner and then we had chocolate cake that Katrina and her had made earlier. After stuffing myself with cake Katrina and I came home to watch the Lakers game. Good game and the Lakers are up 2-1 now. .......not to bad if I don't say so myself. Thanks again for all the wishes today. Means a lot to know that you all care. Well I'm off to bed an older man then I was the night before. Sweet dreams you'll.

Been to long

So for those of you that were wondering I'm still alive. Been way to long sinse the last time I've wrote something but had lots going through my head. Sometimes I wish I had a "switch" so that I could turn it off but thats not the case. So to catch you all up with some of the things that have gone on in the last month. Here are 5 things that I can't wait to share.

1. I have got to work and spend more time with Katrina in the last month then I think we have the whole time we have been married. Side note but can you believe that it's been almost a year for us... wow. Katrina no longer works at Food Pyramid and has been working with me. It's made my job so much faster and easier with her help along side. I get up about 3-4am but we are getting done with the route about 11-noon everyday. Gives us so much time to come home and play with the hound-dog.

2. Katrina and I have got back into working out pretty hardcore from us making the changes we have. We both want to get better in the area and it really helps having someone to go through it with you. I am not a big fan of cardio but she is and I can't let her beat me ( which she does most days ). I will say that it had been nice to go work out and then do cardio and it not be at 6-7pm ( after I would get off work from the weight-room ).

3. Katrina and I get to have dinner together.... such a simple thing but we get to eat and enjoy each other in the evenings. Before it was about 2hours worth of get home, cook, eat..... time for bed.

4. I have got to spend time with my friends. So much so that Katrina and I are tired from hanging out and not just from working.

5. The last thing and one that makes me smile more then you can even see..... Well maybe showing you would be the best way to let you know.








Just in case you are wondering thats a 2010 Dodge Charger R/T!!! KOBE


So I'm sorry that it's been so long but things are going to be better. I am going to find a way to change how I feel. I'm going to make things better. No one is going to out work me and for that I will be great. I was once told that it's 50% fear and 50% arrogance. I'm going to train with the fear that I can be better and have the arrogance to laugh at the man to my left.... and to my right..... knowing that the time I have put in will make me better then you.

Those last words were said to me by a very wise man. Thank you for the talk last night... even if it was at 12:30am. You can't outwork me.... Bring it!!!!

One last thing.... Thank you for all those that have been with me and all those that will be with me. Hell of a ride and we are just getting started. Kobe!!!!

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!!!!
