Wednesday

Made it through another night of singlehood. I dont know how some of you guys do it. I had to go pick my dog up from one of our neighbors. He dug under the fence. My dog is so weird.

Tuesday

Wow, its nice to see old friends again. It seems like so long ago, but just like yesterday that we were at FC together. I look at those pictures and see another person. What fun times!

Well, I'm doing the bachelor thing this week as my wife and kids are at her folks in Seattle. Its weeks like this that put me in my place and help me realize how difficult it is for my wife to take care of 3 boys (myself included of course). I have such a hard time going to sleep by myself anymore. When I do, though, I sleep hard. Newborns also give you an appriciation for sleep that you might not have. Anyway, things are going well here. The Boise area is nice this time a year, cool mornings warm afternoons. Its nice.

I watched the History Channel last night and they were showing consecutive stories about 9-11...that will forever be one of those events that I will always be able to say I know exactly where I was and what I was doing when the towers fell. What a difficult time for all of those families. It definitely makes me value the blessings that God has given me.

Marita, how have you been? I cant believe you have kids that are that old. You look exactly like the last time I saw you. Same for you Matt. Its good to see pictures of your families. I still have contact with some old friends from FC. I talk with Jason Sallee and Trevor Hooie on a regular basis. Im sure to no one's surprise Sallee is still unmarried. He is living in Phoenix and working on movie production. He loves it, but is making very little money right now. Trevor, on the other hand, just recently go married in Charleston, SC. He is living in Jacksonville and working at the local hospital as a scrub tech. He seems to be doing very well.

Well, thats all I have to say about that....

    I am at Hotlanta now. I was in AL after FC, then to Boston for 5ish years and last year I got a job and moved to a warmer climate. Just having fun and trying to make ends meet. ;-) You? Married with kids? Wow!

    Here's the trick...mail order brides. Just kidding. You know, its all my wit and charm that won her over! In all actuality, my brother set me up. HA

So what have I been up to?

You know the internet can be a scary thing so I apologize if I dont "spill the beans" about all the stuff I have been up to.

As I said before, we live in Idaho currently. I work as the GIS Manager for Canyon County. I have been here for almost two years. Prior to coming here we have lived in central Washington, western Washington and north Alabama. I am finishing up work on my Masters in Geographic Information Systems at the University of Missouri. I got my BA from the University of North Alabama. We just recently had the second addition to our family, Cody. He was a real surprise as the ultra sound tech told he was a she so we decorated in pink. Im not sad to see the pink go, but when he came out it was a shocker. I am still getting use to his name. His brother still has trouble not calling him Maggie (our girl name).

    CHAD LYNCH!!!!!! As if I could ever forget you!

    WOW!! So glad to see you on here!! I can't wait to catch up!

  • mattdevore
    Wow. Great to see you on here. It looks like you're figuring out this thing ok.

    One task you'll want to get started on is adding friends to your friends list. For instance, if you'd like to add me to your list then click my name to the left of this comment and then click "add to friends list" in the left column on my blog page under "actions."

    You might also notice that Marita's name and my name are in a gold color while other's names are in a charcoal color. The deal with the gold is that we actually paid to upgrade our free pleonast service and have additional features. Most notably, gold members can have "private" posts on their blogs. This means that only people on their friends list will be able to see the private posts. So, now that I've added you to my friends list you have the ability to read a whole bunch of my older posts that I have set as private... in case you want to try to catch up.

Ok, Im new at this....

Well, Im not sure what Im doing or if anyone will ever see this. It feels like i'm talking to myself. HA Anyway, my name is Chad and I live in the middle of nowhere Idaho. I found this site through a web search and hope I can connect with old friends and possibly make new ones. My wife and I live hear with our two sons,Grant (2) and Cody (4 weeks). Let me know what the normal operating procedure is for something like this and I will be glad to oblige.
