Send good thoughts, prayers and mojo towards Miranda tomorrow morning.  She’s having back surgery to correct a herniated disc, which we hope will get her back to normal.  Hopefully we’ll be home tomorrow night. I’ll have more later in the week.

Some time ago (October 27th to be exact), myself, Justin F. and good friend Brandon traveled to Lubbock to watch our Red Raiders take on the Colorado Buffaloes. Sadly our Red Raiders were turned away with a loss, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have a good time. First off, we drove on Friday night,…

Good Christmas and lots of fun with the family. I was coming down with a cold/flu and was feeling pretty bad on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. In fact, I’m still coughing, but I think I’ll make it. I only have pictures from Christmas Eve at my parents house, for whatever reason, I don’t take…

Good times with Sweet Sweet and I watching basketball at the AAC. Essentially, I convinced / bribed her to go if we ate at El Fenix afterwards. Not a bad trade-off as far as I’m concerned. The game itself was a little disappointing, but it was still fun to see my Red Raiders play. Sweet…

Two weeks in a row isn’t quite a trend, but it’s better than nothing. Sweet Sweet and I received some great news yesterday, her platelet level is now at 250,000, whereas before her surgery to remove her spleen her platelet level was hovering at around 35,000. As the doctor told her, we got platelets for…

Okay, seriously, it won’t happen again. Let me explain. I wasn’t really doing anything. Okay, that’s a lie, I was doing some stuff, but just not a lot of stuff. Case in point, I went to Lubbock for a few football games, by myself once and with some friends on others. Not to mention, DTN…

My family has a number of summer birthdays and we had a family get-together at the house to celebrate everyone’s birthday. The scene. Thea. Marilea, Blake and Dad. Saralyn, Darius and Dad. Grace, Darius and Jensen (hiding behind the cup). Dad, Saralyn and Ryan. Blake, Thea and Mom. Jensen, Grace and Dad. Thea and Marilea.…

Last summer a fairly large tree died, chalk it up to the drought last year or the tree just being old, but about a month ago a large branch (diameter 8″ to 9″) fall on our neighbor’s fence. I rounded up a crew of Sweet Sweet’s father, brother, Stephen and Todd to help get that…

I’m sure that we all have something that we hold onto for much longer than we should. I have a number of those things, consider this a character flaw if you wish, but for me it’s all about comfort. At some point during my high school career, I purchased a pair of Adidas slip-on soccer…
