Our Hospital Stay

Dear Tyler,

You and I had to stay in the hospital for 48 hours following your birth. Daddy stayed with us the first night, sleeping on the fold-out couch in our room. I decided to let you stay in the nursery as I was very sleep deprived and exhausted. It was a long night as the nurses came in to check on me and push on my belly to check on my uterus every couple of hours. They brought you in to the room so that I could feed you whenever you were hungry.

Myrtle Beach Vacation 2010

We went to Myrtle Beach again this year for the July 4th celebration. It was about a 12 hour drive from Indy. Other than a wreck that cost us 45min, the trip was pretty uneventful.

We came down the Saturday before and left the following Saturday. We watch fireworks at the beach again. Still the best fireworks display. Beats anything Indy has to offer.

Some of the guys from work and I went to play paint ball today at white river paintball . I had never played before. Scott had a membership which helped with out paint cost. I upgraded to the warrior package which gave me a gun that looked like an AR15, and never jams. That is a good thing because a few of the guys where having gun issues.

Gina’s Uncle Ramano invited us over for Hamburgers and hotdogs one night.
He was a nice guy and pretty good with a grill. I was impressed with how clean his garage was and his Harley’s were spotless.

Today we went to Climb Time as part of Makenna’s birthday party.
We all had a pretty fun time. Gina and I were belaying for the girls.
I went and got a harness after I saw how much fun they were having.
I enjoyed it except for repelling back down. Gina left a little too much slack in the rope for my comfort. It felt like you could fall at any minute.

This weekend we met up with Jake’s clan and went camping at the Riverbend camp grounds. The Weather was perfect and we managed to get two spots right on the river.

Jake was already set up and had drowned a few worms friday evening by the time we got there.
I started setting up our new tent and found out that the zipper to the front was broken right out of the box.
I was able to McGiver a temp fix with a fishing hook, a fishing weight and some fishing line.
I guess the Cub Scouts Finally paid off.

The Carmel High School put on a concert with all the local high school bands jamming. They all tried to play as many songs as they could in their time slot.

Bailey’s boyfriend was the drummer in one of the bands. They managed to get in 4 songs I think. They were pretty good. I was impressed with the number of high school bands playing

Bailey made her own shirt for the occasion.

Michelle came back to Indy today to run in the Mini Marathon. I think she said it was her tenth year doing it. It was good to see her. I think it has been over a year since I last saw her.

We all met up tonight at Fionn MacCooly’s Irish pub in fishers. I had a couple Guinness. Which hit the spot after a frustrating day at work. Robert, Jill, Cindy, and Jack were able to join us. It was great to sit around and talk about the good old days at the Gaming Commission

Gina put together a surprise birthday party for me. She put a lot of work into it.
She was at a disadvantage because she hadn’t met all of my friends yet and didn’t have their contact information.

She put her PI skills to good use and managed to gather everyone’s info.
Grandma, Kesha and Brian and kids were there. Along with Dad, Sharon, Jake, Shawna, and Timi.
Even Jill and Lisa were able to attend. Heather, Makenna and Bailey were on hand also to participate.

This year Jake and his family came over to celebrate the new year. I made hot meat and taco meat and we all ate too much. Everyone had a good time dancing and singing and shooting some pool. Steven kept us laughing with his one liners and Jacob stole the show with his break dancing move the worm. It was good to see Jesse again and Shelby was texting and talking on the phone all night to her gay boyfriend.

It’s been a long time coming. I finally graduated from college.
I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University this December.
The last four classes seemed to never end. I thought I saved the easy ones for last but I was wrong!
I had so much writing and research to do. More than was typically required for the core classes.
But it’s over.
We had a small get together afterwards at my house. It was good to see everyone.
