College Football is Back!!

Yesterday was the first weekend of College Football. I guess that truly means Summer is over!!

Went to see the Oregon Ducks kick the day lights out of the New Mexico Lobos...72-0!!!


Took the whole family and had a great time. Sat with old friends too. Even though it was never really close we all had a ball!! Aaron had never been to a game before and he really liked it.

The new face lift to Autzen is great. New turf and re-painted the inner walls around the stadium. Looks awesome.

Looking forward to more games!


As far as me, not so good. The pain in my right hip is getting worse. I am working hard to manage it with out complaining or making too big a deal about it. I have been icing down every night and limping around every single day.

When I rotate my leg I hear it popping and knocking. I can actually feel it in my chest. To fix this I am not sure what to do. Surgery is out of the question...cant afford it. Nor can I afford the 6 weeks of lost work. I will not put myself through the whole process so soon either. Too much for me and too much for my family. They are the ones who pick up the slack and it was a lot of work.

So I am trying to loose a few pounds hopefully that will help. I also need to re-commit myself to working out at the gym. We have so much going on its difficult but I have to find a way. I think I should of bought that exercise bike when I had the chance.

I just don't get it. I have come so far in my recover and been through a great deal over the last few years and I can't believe I am going to be struggling like this from now on. Its very frustrating.

Who knows. It could go away tomorrow we will just have to see.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend. I am going to take advantage and rest.

Summers almost Over



Can you believe it!!


The end of summer is coming. It has been quite the summer too. Tons of great trips and a whole lot of fun.
By the way, I just got back from VEGAS BABY!!!!



Theresa and I finally got a chance to get away and have a fun weekend just the two of us.

We saw her favorite singer Rob Thomas!! Ate, drank and hung out by the pool!


With all that she has been through it is finally nice for her to unwind and have some fun. We needed the time alone for sure!!!

She has stood by me through the biggest challenges of our marriage and I appreciate it. All I can say, is it was awesome...

My hips survived. I has some issues but made through it OK. It was the 2 hours in a plastic chair at the concert that did it. But very worth it!!

The last time we were in Vegas was about 17 years ago. We did not have as much fun. I did not win a nickel. Well I don't gamble either. So you can't win if you don't play.

I definitely think we will go back again.

Going to Dallas next week, all week for work! I have not been on a long business trip for a long time. I hope it goes well. I'm sure I will.

Any way, still having issues this week and a good deal of limping but it is almost the weekend.

Take it easy and I will try to keep up.

AWESOME TRIP

OK!! Had a wonderful time in Key West and on the Cruise!!



The Brinton Environmental Center on Marathon Key is a great High Adventure Boyscout Camp!

We did everything from Sea Kayak, Sailing, Snorkeling to Fishing.


No fishing pictures!! Camera crapped out but my Super Special Mom had a new overnighted to me!! She saved the day!

All in all the first 5 days of the trip was fabulous and very very special!!

I finally got a chance to spend a lot of time alone with Aaron and it was a great time. For him and me.

I did great! My stamina was good and my legs did not hurt as bad as I thought. I am so glad everything worked out.

I will get into the Cruise next post. That was the icing on the cake!!!!

See ya later.........
