Reunion Day

Today is the day for the reunion and we are all meeting over at a local relatives house. It is a very nice house complete with a big German Shepherd.

The Reunion itself will be at a local park a little later but so far it is fun.

More later.

Vacation

Getting ready to leave for vacation. Kids are excited and rambunctious of course.

More later once we stop for lunch.

Until next time True Believers.

Kinda sad saying goodbye...

It is a little sad knowing that I will be saying goodbye to my son, Atom, this Monday. He has spent pretty much all summer with me and it has been fun!

Don't get me wrong, there have been a few rough patches... Mostly. though, it has been a great experience for him.

Originally I am from California, born and raised but found myself in Austin, TX for work for several years. When it came time to move back to California I took Atom with me on a cross-country road trip.

We went west, through Texas from I-10 West to 285 North all the way up through Pecos and Carlsbad and then Roswell, NM, where we spent several hours checking that place out. Then on to the 40 West. Once on the 40 West we went through Albuquerque, NM and Flagstaff, AZ to Williams, AZ and hit up the Meteor Crater.

From there we went onto California and had dinner in Barstow, CA at Bob's Big Boy.

All in all it was a fun Dad / Son excursion!!!

Once we arrived here it was time for both of us to learn about living with 3 girls... That's right, the love of my life has 3 great kids too!! 2 Girls (8 and 9) and a 4 year old son. To say that it has been an adjustment in an understatement but it has totally been worth it.

Well, time to head out to Krav Maga, an Israeli Martial Art, at my Gym.

Oh and I will see Atom again, soon. Once she moves out I will start my ever other weekend routine. I just hope that she can meet me halfway or at least Los Angeles... we will see :)

Until next time True Believers!!!

New Blog, Just in Time...

Starting a new Blog is like starting a new job; it takes some time and concerted effort to maintain an effective one... (Job & Blog...)

Since I am going on vacation tomorrow I thought that I would start a new blog and try to maintain this one more often than my existing one at Writing.Com, which I have been updating more often recently.

So just a little bit about me:

• I am 40-something
• I have a 10 year old son, Atom
• I am going to marry my best friend
• I am an award-winning, published author (Writing.Com Portfolio)
• I am a Telecom Professional working for NASA
• I am a Geek, Dork and Nerd and Proud of it!

I met my fiancee online via WordFeud for Android. We fell in love and I moved from Austin, TX to Southern California where we are living happily ever after. :)

We are leaving for the Bay Area tomorrow for her Dad's Family Reunion and I am greatly looking forward to it!!!

since I have had my son all summer, I feel that it is important for him to have this experience since he will be the newest member of this family and should be shown off :p

More to come either today or tomorrow evening.
