#4

I had meant to post something this week about the kids, what all has been going on, etc. since I had not posted since the end of the Packers season. (I have not and will not discuss that ending with anyone outside of a true-green fan.) I was feeling guilty about that. Jen posts about the kids, I post about football. My priorities were mixed up and I was going to remedy that. But then today happened, Tuesday March 4, 2008. The day we all knew would happen eventually, HE retired.

So do I post on and on about HIM and football or do I try and forget the fact and post something about what's truly important? Let's try both.

Since that Sunday when HE took the field for the first time (and I do remember that game) here is what has happend:


Great moments in my life since September 20, 1992

• I fell in love
  
• Got married
• Witnessed the birth of three of my children
• Traveled half-way around the world to bring home my other child
• Watched all my siblings get married
• Welcomed 15 nieces and nephews into our family
• Became a godfather to 3 of them
• Bought our first home
• Built our next home
• Been laid off
  
• Found a job/career I love
• Watched two of my children start school
• Traveled to Europe and Africa
• Put on weight
• Lost weight
• Made new friends
• Lost contact with old ones
• Sat on a beach in Mexico with my wife at sunset realizing how great life can be.

And through all this I got to watch, on TV and in person, a game played by someone who loved to play. (Just ask John Madden)

So, Thank you Brett.
