marriage

so...today is my 13th wedding anniversary! it throttles me to think that there is one woman out there that has (and can) put up with my shit for that long. she is the most wonderful person in the world and i am glad to have captured her. she keeps things alive around here. she is very loving and deserving of the best. without her i would not be in the place where i am right now. i river guide for a living. i have no stress. i live in a beautiful place. it is all because of her! thanks jenrolee! you are the most wonderful person i have ever met and it feels good to know you are in my life. cheers to you woman!

my mom

so....my mother hhmmm.....where to begin? well she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL considering her age. she took real good care of all her children and still does. my mom has a very intimidating look sometimes. i used to love it when my friends (who thought they were tough) would be terrified of my mom when she would give them her look. she is a great friend to have and everyone should know her. i am grateful to have her in my life.

this is to you mom. i know its late not only for mothers day, but in life. here it goes anyway. thanks for being my mom. thanks for your love. thanks for the continued laughs. thanks for your respect. thanks for your beauty. thanks for not ever giving up on such a hard kid to raise. thanks for your kisses and hugs. thanks for buying me sneakers even when i didn't need new ones. thanks for your sacrifices everyday. thanks for just loving me for who i am.

my mom is the quiet type until you get to know her. but when she lets her hair down watch out. my mom could stare down a lion without fear. my mom can cook better than any mother out there. my mom is a sexy lady. my mom is an honest woman. my mom can beat up your mom.

love you mom and happy late mothers day. may god bless you forever and protect you forever.

Cataract Canyon

called my father two days ago and asked him to join me on a one day trip down cataract canyon. he made arrangements and came to visit. it sure was really nice to see him and we had a blast. it is really neat to have someone so close to me see that canyon. the water is big and the waves are huge. it sure was amazing watching him hang on with a death grip, even when we were going thru the flat water sections. cataract is a canyon you can talk about, but when experience it first hand it really comes into perspective. thanks for coming dad and we will do it again. mom i will take you too next time.

about us and me.

there has been a lot of changes as of late that i feel a need to update people on. #1 moved to moab utah. #2 changed careers. #3 had a baby girl. #4 have never felt happier.

these are things that are pretty major things that have happened in the last 2 yrs. we are now " poor people with a wonderful view." i am a river guide for Western River Expeditions. i am in cataract canyon and the grand canyon every summer. then in the winters i build homes for the rich and famous. my wife is a perfect stay at home mom with a 24hr job that she manages all by herself. believe me....she is great at it. how do i know? i tried it and it is way too damn hard for me.

also.....this blog page of mine may contain bad language and possible nudity. if you are offended by either of these things stop reading now. don't ever come back to this page or God will punish you. these are my thoughts and feelings on life. if you don't agree with them, then piss off mate i don't care!

well......

everybody seems to be doing this blogging thing. i have finally been guilted into doing it myself. i figure if anybody is interested in my life and what i am doing they can now read about it. my wife is an avid blogger and has told me for along time i should take time to write. so here is my first weak attempt at it.
