Well, I have been in the Navy for 17 years. Let's just say...what a ride! Ups, downs, twists and turns. I have the most wonderful wife in the world!!!! She is truly my life, my love, my other half....my SOULMATE! We have two beautiful children, a daughter that is 10 and a son that is 9. I really have a blessed life and am ever so grateful!Remember, all those cliches about love are true. One of the biggest things I have learned is that you really do need to live life with a sense of wonder and beauty, no matter how bad the past may have been. Because, one day your dreams could come true and if you are too bitter and scared you might just push away the people that really matter to you the most. And never let anyone try to take that or those people away from you.When it is all over I hope I came here, saw many wondrous things (and truly understood the beauty of them) and most importantly I hope that I touched the lives of the people I met even if it nothing more than a funny story they will remember for years to come and hopefully I left you with a smile and a sense of joy.
