I'm not sure if I can tell which it is. Plenty of things are going on in my life, but I think I'm too lazy and then I cover it up by saying I don't have time because of the activity. Aidan's now 2 and half years old. He's reading, running, playing with his bat and ball. He's an awesome kid and we are completely in love with him. As do other children, he learns at such a fast pace, and we love that about him. When we correct him on his speech, he's always making sure we follow our own rules. "Don't say 'Yeah' papa, say 'YES'"  Living i...

BELIEVE...  I Believe....    That just because two people argue, that    doesn't mean they don't love each other.   And just because they  don't  argue, that  doesn't mean they  do  love each other.         I Believe...  That sometimes when I'm angry  I have the right to be angry,    but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.         I Believe...  That we don't have to change friends  if w...

I'm not sure why i'm compelled to write when I get off the phone with Chance. He's just that kind of guy. He told me there were a large number of people at the wake yesterday. Of this i'm sure. I have no doubt of how many people Patrick has knowingly or even unknowingly touched during his time on this earth. Chance was getting upset on the phone while we were talking. The only thing I could think to tell him, was to not be so hard on himself. He was there on the scene after the fact. He saw the worst of Patrick. But what was important at tha...

I woke up this morning at about 3:45am, something I almost never do, I got the call 2 min later, Nat said "call chance now." I hung up the phone and called him immediately. I met Patrick back in '90 or '91 I can't remember which and it doesn't matter. You don't realize the effect people have on you sometimes until something bad happens. Actually, isn't the old saying; "You don't know what you've got until it's gone" Well that's not something the Willis' are saying right now. They knew what they had. Gold. Patrick is Chance Willis' brother in ...

It's not easy to sit down anymore like it used to be. I really need to work harder at an everyday affair. If I don't then I'll get lazy once again. There are so many things to write about I guess I feel slightly overwhelmed. Will I remember everything? Will it be accurate? Can I write some things that are questionable, will someone read it and be offended? I have been making summarized journal entries, bullet points. As bad as my memory is, that's a bad idea. Aidan's growing so fast, he constantly learning new words. I had to put that down ...

 Our 5 year wedding anniversary   5 years married and 12 years together. My God it's been a roller coaster!   Times are changing. We're changing them. We move around and change our environment quite often that we need to give ourselves to time adapt.   Our relationship is stable. The thing that's bothering is that we need to spend more time with each other. Running the business and caring for Aidan takes over our lives lately. We've adapted pretty well to living here in India.   There was a crash course when Fa...

  November 5th 2008 9:31am PST 7lbs 10oz 20.5 inches For obvious reasons, I didn't blog yesterday. She was in labor 22 hours before mandating the epidural. There was a lot of excitement going on at that time. We were both exhausted. I was walking her through her contractions, holding her hand, making sure she was warm when she was cold and cool when she was hot. She was so close, but about 10 min after 2nd stage began and she started to push she expressed the amount of pressure and that there was a lot of pain. I got her to get on...
