I have not blogged in some time now. There have been some big things going on. The most important of all was the birth of my first child, a beautiful baby girl on October 17, 2007. It is amazing to watch her grow and to know that I have a huge responsibility to make sure she is given all the love and support she needs. I am truly humbled to be a father and cannot really put into words the feelings that go along with it. All I hope is that I can be as good of a parent to my child as my parents were to me. I didn't always like what they made me do, but i see now there was a "method to their madness," if you will. I am incredibly blessed.
