Just wanted to post some pics of my wife and daughter for those friends of the blog who are out of town and don't get to see how lucky I am. I have been very blessed. About a year and a half ago I would sit in church and tell myself, "you have got to quit looking over there and making eyes at Jill McRoy's sister, she's a teenager". Then one day I ran into her mom at Wal-Mart (imagine that) and she started telling me all about Jordan moving back home with them and how she worked nights at a hospital (nurse), and anything else that would make her compatible with me. At the time I also worked nights in a hospital (still do) and had moved back in with my mom. So I left Wal-Mart and it hit me on the way home. If this girl was recently divorced and is a RN, she must not be a teenager. Then it also hit me that her mom was pretty much putting her on the market and targeting me as the buyer. So I did what any in my situation would do. I got nervous and did nothing. I still stared across the church each Sunday. I told my mom I was interested in her. But I did nothing. I hadn't tried to get a date in years. I didn't even remember how. So I called Michael Miller. He is married to Jordan's cousin, Nikki. I asked these Millers if Jordan was seeing anyone and they hooked us up in about one day. We clicked instantly and she has been by my side ever since.
My other girl is Maddie. She is 5 years old now and I am so proud of her. She is getting ready to graduate from First Baptist preschool later this month. She is so far ahead of where I was when I started school. All of those kids are. I highly recommend FBC preschool to anyone in the area. She enjoys spending time with her cousins Dawson and Abe, and any of her other friends. She has a different boyfriend every other day. She didn't get that from my side of the family. One day it's Kamden Bunch, the next its Gavin Huff, the next it's Zach Hardin. Any of you North grads should recognize those last names and understand my worries. Anyways, she is a very good kid who has been through way too much the past couple of years. She has had to deal with her mother and I divorcing and the death of her Mimi (Cennie). She was very close to her Mimi but she has done very good. Now I'm in a battle to win back my childcare duties. Maddie and Jordan have became big buds and now she wants Jordan to wash her hair, she wants Jordan to pick out her clothes, she wants Jordan to read her a book. What's dad supposed to do? Sit back and smile I hope, because that's what I do every time I'm with my two girls.
