Yikes

2 months since my last post???? yikes, shame on me.....so much has happened....Bay hockey went well, they had a great record, a great tourny and just a great group of Boys, he alreaedy misses it....he finished grade 6 and given the goofy year he had he did really well, as did Jennifer back in mb.....on that note, Jen is moving here, her mom and the girls are moving to Calgary so Jen needed to decide where she was going and she chose here thank the lord and yes I did....my girls are excited about their move, as am I because they'll be closer and in the mountains....we got a puppy, a mini american eskimo, his name is Slapshot and he's already a solid member of this family....the girls are here right now and I'm loving every minute of it, they are such a joy, I"m a lucky dad even with my situation....

Sam has taken on a Manager position at the Walmart photo studio here and I couldn't be more proud of her, she's doing great, she's such a good photographer and will only get better, she's great to the kids, they love her as much as I do and she's actually been away for a few days on a family vacation and let me tell you this house is not a home without her, I used to encourage time away from my ex but with her I feel empty without her, which after 15ish months together tells me that this time I"m doing things right.....thank goodness I actually do learn from the past...mistakes and all....I love her very much and I'm very grateful for her in my life.

We've been golfing, or at least some of us are learning, we've been enjoying the sun the few days we get it, we've been drying our flooded basement, we've been working, we've seen a couple movies but most importantly we've been a family even if all of us aren't here all the time....

I'm very excited for my future, our future, my kids future, I'm very excited to know that I"m going to marry Sam one day, I"m not scared of it anymore, I know better this time, no more taking for granted just cause you're married, no more assuming one knows you love them.....cherish that person in your life, don't let life get too busy, tell them everyday, numerous times you love them....not everyone gets a second chance to get it right, I got my second chance and let me tell you, it's gonna be a home run.....

OH AND IN CASE YOU LIVE UNDER A ROCK.......

THE CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS WON THE STANLEY CUP!!!!!!!!!!

Something I've waited my whole life for and I've been shouting it from the rooftops LOL....love it!

K I gotta sleep as those babies of mine are up bright and early.....sorry for the lack of updates....I"ll try to get better.....just not the next two weeks as I'm on holidays baby!!!!

see ya when I see ya!
