My Loves



This week I would like to change things up a bit.So if you will bear with me...

The people who know me,know there are very few loves in my life:God,my wife,my kids and my family-not necessarily in that order.

I am married to a beautiful,smart woman and I tell people that I keep falling deeper in love with her each passing day.I am one lucky man that she has stayed with me all of these years,especially after all of the hell that I have put her through.
She has also given me three beautiful children.
My oldest girl,who has Down Syndrome,has taught me alot,especially how to love unconditionally.She has the most innocent little smile and the sweetest hugs.She started third grade this year and I am scared to death for her.It is such a new,big world for her.

My middle child,my son,has got to be one of the smartest kids that I have ever been around.He just started the second grade and is already teaching his old man things that I didnt know before.I made him a deal this year.I told him that if he made all A's that his mother and I would buy him an Xbox 360,not thinking that he would do so with ease.
My third child and youngest,my baby girl,is the tough, no nonsense, dont mess with me, type of child,but she is still my princess.Unfortunately she is back in Kindergarten this year.Dont get me wrong,she is a smart cookie,but we felt like she just wasnt quite ready to go on to 1st grade yet.

I know that I am just rambling on and on,but one of our family members is having medical problems currently and it got me to thinking.At any given moment,one of my loves can be taken from me.That would just kill me.So I ask you,when your see your wife or husband,tell them that you love them,hug your kids,kiss them,love them like there is no tomorrow and thank the good lord up above for each passing day that you get to spend with them.

Are you ready for some football?

CAN YOU FEEL IT? CAN YOU SMELL IT?

I am referring to the adrenaline ,the sweet excitement of a friday night football game and then again,on Saturday,a college football game.Oh, what a rush!!!


The Monticello High School Billies will soon begin their season and I for one,feel like they will have a spectacular season.They have alot of sophmores that came off of an undefeated championship season in Junior Varsity, that undoubtedly make a big impact this year.


And I cannot post about the new football season without mentioning the brand new football team,The Drew Central Pirates.I have heard alot of good things about these guys.I won't name any names,yet,but I was told that these guys are learning fast and hitting hard.However,I dont feel like this young team will win very many games this year,even though they're just playing junior varsity teams during this first year.Now dont get me wrong,I am not trying to count them out,but they are a new,young team and alot of them have never even played football before.I would like to wish them a safe and wonderful season!!!


Last but NEVER least,my favorite team of all time,The Arkansas Razorbacks!!!There was alot fo controversy this past summer due to Mitch Mustain and Gus Malzahn leaving and because of someone not minding their own business[with Coach Nutt's cell phone records.]Hopefully,the Hogs will get back on track and bust off another 10 game wins this season,or 11 or more.
I know what I think and I know how I feel,I feel like Darren McFadden will win the Heisman since he is already the #1 running back in the nation.Now,I want to know what you think.Besides,DMac,who do YOU think? Cast your vote on the poll to the right.

And as always,every time the teams take the field,let's pray that they play a good game and that they come off of the field safe and injury free.

The first Hogs game of the season will be September 1,2007 vs. Troy at 6 p.m.

The first Pirates game in 57 years will take place August 30,2007 vs. Parkers Chapel

The first Billies game of the season will take place August 31,2007 vs.Hamburg,kickoff is at 7:00 p.m..

See you all at the games!!!!!
