After last years post, I just want to remind everyone that I am just an ordinary man capable of the extraordinary. I have taken a year long sabbatical from posting on the blog, and now I return to give you my most favorite piece, "A Majestic Man". ( I toyed with the idea of calling it A Majestic Beast, but i like man better.) It is the journey of ones man quest to conquer the world. Please, sit back and prepare yourself to be taken on a journey that transcends both time and space, well, space not time, I don't know what i am talking about.
This first picture captures the essence of man's purity. So naive and fragile. The Majestic Man prepares himself for the world by delicately applying sun tan lotion to help him brave the elements. Such peace can be found in those languishing eyes.
The carefree majestic man has now seen the deepest bowls of hell. He has looked into the soul of Mother Earth and has seen nothing but a cataclysm of catastrophe. The man has been thwarted by the beast. You won this round, but I will be back for my revenge. Where there was once a heart, is now replaced by the fiery spirit of a wolverine. He bares a tattoo over his right breast to remind him of that dark night when he faced the beast, and won.
This next image captures the Majestic Man's ability to put the past behind him and throw caution to the wind (caution is in the form of a water bottle) and take what life has to offer. He possesses the rare ability to feel nothing in the face of adversity. When the world hand you lemons, he makes lemonade.
I hope you enjoy!!!!

Happy Fathers Day
We haven't seen much of Michael these days... he had midterms... then I was in Utah for a week... then he was in Utah to run the Wasatch Back... then was home for a day but had work and school until 10:30... and now he is in San Fran on business! Even though i was with Michael's family in Utah and live with my family ( who all have been a tremendous help!) I feel like a single mom. I honestly don't know how people do it! I would be the worst single mother! i realize how much I need Michael and how much he does for our little family! He is such a hard worker and I know he does it all for us! Thank you for all you do and for always keeping smiles on our faces!!!! love you!

Grandma Meek
My mom went to stay with Heide when she had her baby and while she was gone she had me taking care of Grandma Meek (my mom's mom). I had to take the kids to their doctors appt. and a few arronds when i came be i found Katie at home crying. Grandma had fallen and broken her hip and Katie had come home from work and found her on the ground. That whole week she was in the hospital laying their with a broken hip trying to get her congestive heart failure under control so they could do surgery. It was horrible seeing her in so much pain. I arrange for people to watch the kids while I went and sat with her in the hospital.The hospital is such an emotionally draining place even though for the most part i was just sitting there trying to comfort grandma i would come home wiped out. I was so grateful to everyone who helped me out. My mom came home alittle early from D.C. I felt bad for heide i dont think she was ready for mom to leave. Grandma had the ball of her hip replaced and did really well. she is still in rehab but every day is different some days she is totally with it and other days she is seeing full size camels in her room( and other such hallucantions). It will be interesting to see what she is like at home.
Holy moley it's been awhile!
