Wow. Now that the news has been broken to friends and family, I can now tell the world on my blog. A post a while back I had this to say
1. Become a husband (done)
2. Become a father (Amy and I are working on this...lol) (baby on the way)
3. Get down to half my weight (in process) (down 46 pounds to date)
Yes Amy is now pregnant and we're expecting a little one to our family come November. I can't put into words how excited I feel.
This is huge to me. I've dreamed for a long time on becoming a father. To me it was the only thing I really knew. Growing up in a family that was a strong as mine, and witnessing just how much in love my father was with my Mom for 36+ years till the day he passed on.
I asked my Dad one night if he was mad/angry at God for being diagnosed with cancer. He looked at me as serious as he almost always was and said I'm not mad at all. I thank him for the time that he gave me a wife that loves me and two wonderful boys that I've never had to worry about.
I knew right then what life meant to me, and what I really wanted in life and that's a family.
Life is going very well for me right now, I'm enjoying my job, my wife, losing the weight and working out, my friends, my family. I'm just in a really good place right now.
I want to thank everyone for the love and support. Amy and I, are very excited and for me November can you please come any sooner.
When I was a Kid, I used to tell everyone that my Dad was Dudley Moore. Funny I know. There is really no resemblance at all but to me my Dad was a star. Hold a pic up of Moore in my face I would tell you that's my dad....lol. It was a family joke for years. I'm sure my Mother and Father still remember this. But Maybe without even knowing there was some hidden message in why I picked Dudley Moore. I was going through some of my DVD's and came across a movie in which Dudley Moore stared side by side with Kirk Cameron. The name of the Movie "Like Father Like Son" I kind of broke down after seeing that and the memory of me always joking with everyone that my Dad was Dudley Moore was so vivid in my mind that I wanted to write about it. But then it hit me, "Like father Like Son" Couldn't have been more perfect. I am a lot like my father. I mean, I am my own person but the qualities of my father have been branded in me. If I can continue growing up (I still am) and using the tools & life long lessons that my father has taught me and even if it's only half, I'm going to be just fine.
