Happy 30th to me -- Good or Bad ??

It has been a little while since I have posted. More like it took me that long to recooperate from the father's day outing that I spoke of in an earlier post. Just a quick update on the boat, I finally got the right prop and have actually spent some pleasant time out on the lake. The boat goes to the shop next weekend to get some additions added to it ( hydro steering, keel proctector, h2o and volt gauges, boat cover). Hope to have it back soon after......

Well today I have hit a major milestone in my life -- The big 3-0. While most people seem to doom and gloom over this milestone, I have no regrets after all what is my alternative. I have reflected on my life and where I am today. All I can say is that God has truly blessed me with a very loving and fun family that most people don't find in a life time.

Since I last wrote, my family has taken a vacation to Gatlinburg and once again we were not disappointed. There is soo much fun stuff to do there, however, I must warn my fellow mates about tubing down the little pigeon. Lets just say that I would not recommend it for a 5 and 7 year old even ( or even a 30 yr fat man like me ) though the people at River Rats said that it should not be a problem. (That is all I am saying - It was fun though, well besides the time I fell out of my tube and rolled all the way down the rapids) While we were on vacation, I got to go to my favorite spot called Cades Cove. Garrett and I got to see a bear very close up and I got some pics (i will try and post later) of some huge deer close by.

Anyways, Amy and I had fun at softball the other night even though neither one of us could move afterwards. I guess you start feeling it worse at 30 8-)

Birthday phrase of the day: (someone gave me a card that said this)

"You are not getting older..... You are getting more interesting to the medical profession"

For some reason this seems to fit.

God Bless,
