First things first, Jennifer and I are no longer together.
She was perfect in every way, except I didn't love her like she loved me...I SO wanted to love her and I tried my very best, but in the end, I had to end it.
I knew I was in trouble when I began understanding how my ex-wife felt about me. Meaning, you were in a relationship with a person who adores you but you can't match the feelings. I feel like an ass, but I know it's better to end it at 5 weeks than at 13 years, like my ex and I did.
I am sorry Jennifer...I never got to explain myself and I'm sure you don't want to hear it anyway. If you ever read this, I wish you the very best and apologize from the bottom of my heart.
I am still new to this dating thing and I hated to hurt your feelings...
This blog post will be a sort of clearing house of activities from the past month...please click on the small pics to see the larger version...
First of all, Kevin had to go to the emergency room last month because he fell at the playground and he had a hole the size of a dime in his forehead...when he came to me at the playground, his face was covered in blood and I freaked out! (on the inside...). I rushed him to the hospital and they took him in immediately.
They gave him an MRI and determined that there was no skull fracture or bleeding in the brain.
The hole was deep enough to actually see his skull! The doctors cleaned it thoroughly and stitched it up with internal and external stitches.
He wore a band-aid over the stitches for about 2 weeks...
Now that his stitches have been removed, he has a pretty mean scar. We are putting Maderma on it, which will help soften the scar on his forehead. How about those glasses for Kevin, huh? Turns out Kevin's eyesight wasn't so good. Now he has these glasses to see the world a little bit clearer!
A few weeks ago, my Mom and Tom sent the boys some stuffed animals...no doubt, inspired by Kevin's obsession with Calvin and Hobbes. Turns out you can not buy an official Hobbes tiger because the guy who created Calvin and Hobbes did not want to commercialize the comic strip. Well, they were able to find a pretty good substitute...
They bought Eric a stuffed monkey which he named X-34, because he is a robotic monkey. Go figure...I have no idea where he get it from. However, the monkey recently had an upgrade and now he is known as X-44.
From a trip to Wal-mart...
A surprising number of people seem to like it when I include pictures of the food I eat while I travel. I was cleaning the pics off my cell phone and came across these pics of meals while I was in Hawaii...
This meal was at a sushi restaurant on Waikiki Beach, the food was delicious and the view was amazing! I also had to have a little Japanese beer with my sushi...
This meal was actually breakfast on my last day in Hawaii. You can probably guess it is at McDonald's...it is what they call a "local breakfast". It is eggs, rice, spam and Portuguese sausage with some Kona coffee to wash it down. Spam is HUGE in Hawaii!
The other day I came out of work to go to lunch and wouldn't you know it? A flat tire! After a bit of work and help from 2 co-workers I was on my way. At least it went flat in the parking lot and not on the side of the interstate!
This is me in front of the
Dynamic Test Stand at the Marshall Space Flight Center...it was built to shake the Saturn V, modified to shake the Space Shuttle and now it is being modified again to shake the Ares I!
This was in interview I shot a few weeks ago at the Marshall Space Flight Center.
I wonder if the person who drives this car is a Florida Gator fan, an Auburn Tiger fan, or just likes the colors Orange and Blue?
Well, that's it for now...I am heading to Utah next week, so I hope to have more adventures to write about.
