Its been a while

I have indeed been a Pleo slacker over the past few weeks. Not sure who is up to date with up coming events, so here's the lastest scoop.

For those who didn't know I am now engaged to a wonderful young lady. We were able to find a place to have the wedding. WOW, was that a difficult chore. To find a place that is not a church building and is reasonable in price is not even close to easy. Lucky us we found the perfect place. Its called The Grand, its in New Albany, IN. In its day it was a movie theater. Pricing includes loads to goodies. Such as a wedding adviser, all the decor and lighting. We can even put up "movie posters" of us outside to "advertise" our wedding. Lehia was able to get her dress a couple of weeks ago, and so did her bride's maid. So from the looks of things, it's coming together slowly but surely.

On to other things....I have been able to find employment for the time being. I was able to relocate with a company I worked with back in Nashville. However I am still in the market for that $100,000/year job. Please send all info on these jobs to me and my friends, Thanks.....lol. I am still looking for a better paying job, so we will see who that turns up over the next few weeks.

Yesssss, there is still more news. We have been house hunting. We have looked at a few homes, but nothing has made our eyes bulge and our mouth drop. With our budget for a house being around $40 a month, we should find something really awesome. The search is on and we know something great will come with God's help and guidance.


You all have fun!!

She's the ONE

As the years have flown by i could not imagine what my future now holds. I can remember just a few months ago thinking that life offered no one for me to share it with. It was only after I had stopped looking that I found her. It's really funny how that works many times. I have been so richly blesses through the years, but sheis by far the greatest blessing God has given me. I feel confident that God will continue to to bless her and I as we begin to build our future together.

Below is a picture of the ring I gave her today. I think that she liked it. However, most important was that when I asked her to marry me she said.......YES.










I love you sweetie!!

The greatest Valentines

This past weekend was great! My sweetie had the opportunity to come down to visit with me and my family for the first time. Despite the fact I still was't feeling good we had a good time. Her folks came down too, they were going to visit with some other family members about an hour or so away until Sunday. They made good time, they were there by around 730, so that was good. Before they got there I had my aunt, my mother, and grandmother in the living room playing a Nindendo Wii. I think I'll have to video tape that next time, it was so so funny.

Anywho, my sweetie and I got to hang out all weekend. We drove around town on Saturday, and went to out BIG mall. (It has 5 stores) I was given a new gift about every 2 or 3 hours it seemed like. I was showered with gifts thats for sure. She gave me all kinds of things from candy to cheese, even some clothes, and a watch. There were lots of other things too!! The best of all was getting to spend two weekends in a row with her. She also included a handmade card with each gift. The cards told of qualities I have that she enjoyed the most. It was by far the best Valentines I had ever had, thanks to her and her love and thoughtfullness. I look forward to many more to come.

I LOVE you

Something to look forward to...

This weekend my sweetheart will be down to visit. This will be her first trip down. She gets to "meet the parents". I have no doubt that all will go smoothly and well. Even though I haven't felt well, I am sooo looking forward to her coming down to spend time with me. We haven't decided what all we are going to do yet, but there are about 100 places I wanta take her.
I enjoyed being able to do something nice for her on Valentines Day. Even though the things I can buy her will never really tell how much I love her. I hope and pray that all our days together I will always show you Love, Kindness, Gentleness, thoughtfullness, Gratefullness, and above all a Spiritual Love the will help her to Heaven. you are the best a guy could ask for,

I LOVE YOU!!

Lose Some - Win Some


Some folks are born lucky. "Mr. Lucky" below, is clearly one of them.

It appears that this guy might have gone airborne after hitting that guardrail to the

Right, ultimately, flying over the culvert somehow and landing upright facing from

Whence he came from - backwards... No further details were available at the time.

A closer view of where the truck landed after smashing into the guardrail to the right

And then catapulting into the air and landing upright. Now take a moment to realize

Just how very, very, very, very lucky..."Mr. Lucky" truly was in where and how he landed!
