Hey Family and Friends, I just wanted to announce that Jenn and I are expecting a little girl on June 26, 2008!  We are so excited to add another member to our family and Job can’t wait to be a big brother.  With that said this will be Jenn’s last week of work and she will be a stay at home wife and mom.  (Wife first!  At leas that is the order as I see it, ha-ha!  No seriously, I’ll have to write on my own personal opinion for that matter at a later time.  Law of averages, God, Spouse, Children, Family, Friends…)  And since we are going down to one income I will have to cut back on my spending which includes birthday money.  Sorry!  I know I have been horrible and inconsistent anyways, but know that I think of you on your special days and I have them posted on my calendar at work.  Like Dan and Kim celebrated their birthdays on Jan 29^th and Feb 2^nd respectively and Justin turned 17 on the 9^th!  Happy Birthday guys!  Tom and Karin’s anniversary is tomorrow, Job turns 2 on the 26^th and Scott will be 28 on the 29^th.  See how hard it would be for me to keep up with all that…maybe once we get through the sleepless night years I’ll be able to at least send out cards.  I do have one last gift to send out which I was hoping to send with Jim and Julie while they were out here to Brandon.  It is my body board which I think you will get better use out of than me.  It is sweet and a really good one so I hope you will like it.  I just have to figure out how to ship something like that! 

As for my life, I’m working at United Launch Alliance selling rockets to the Air Force, NASA, NRO and other commercial customers.  These are unmanned rockets sending national security, science exploration, mapping, and other satellites.  Sounds cool and the business is, but my job is still in front of a computer doing risk management and helping with other business processes and procedures in the earned value business management world.  Zzzzzz!  I do have dreams of building an indoor soccer complex someday that can double as a church on Sunday mornings.  But, still in the planning and dream phase.  I started playing basketball on Wednesday evenings on the church team; we are 0-3, awesome!  I’ll start back up playing soccer on Friday evenings in May.  I’ve been snowboarding once this year, slacker, but I did land every backside 180 attempted!  I was supposed to go a second time but they closed down 70 so I ended up in Blackhawk playing 3 card poker with a couple friends.  They robbed my lift ticket money!

Other than that, just enjoying being a husband and a dad.  I’m looking forward to celebrating our wedding with my family and friends this weekend.  Thanks to everyone who is able to make the long trip out, it means a lot for you to sacrifice the time and money that takes.  And no hard feelings to those who can’t, it’s hard I know!  Jenn and I just appreciate the times we do all get to see each other! 

Have a great Valentine’s Day everyone and hope to see you soon!
