Happy New Year

Jan 1

Posted by ChiliFrei64 in General

Alright, this isn’t going to be a long sappy new year story.. quick and simple. It was a busy year in 2009, between taking a couple vacations, to finding out I am going to be a father, working long hours putting together different computer systems,  seeing my unborn children on an ultrasound, flying to Seattle, my grandfather dying and speaking to my father for the first time in 13 years. Much has gone on and it has flown by. I cherish all the moments I have had and look forward to the new ones to come. I am glad to see 2010 arrive while I sit here with some of my closest friends celebrating the new year. I look forward to finally becoming a father and holding my children and all the wonderful things that will bring. 2010 will surely be different than 2009, but I cant wait to get moving on it!

Happy New Year

Happy Thanksgiving

Nov 26

Posted by ChiliFrei64 in Family, General, Rants

I have a lot of reasons to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I am thankful for a loving wife who loves me with all her heart and thinks the world of me. She supports me and believes in everything I can do. I am thankful for my babies, Samantha and Alexis. They might not know it yet but I love them with all my heart and would do anything for them. I am thankful for a great mother who has taught me all of the values which have made me the man I am today. For Ron, my dad, for being there for me, and taking the role of my dad when my other one wasn’t there. I am thankful that he is still alive after his heart surgery this past week, that he was able to hear that I was going to have 2 little girls and to hear how happy he was when he heard the news. I am thankful for my brothers and sisters, who all go out of there way to make sure others are taken care of in a time of need and put others before themselves. I am thankful for my entire family, who come together in times of need, to help others who need help. I am thankful for my friends who are always there for me and fill our moments with unforgettable memories.

When you are thankful of something, that is because someone gave you a reason to be thankful. Which means they were giving you thanks, making you “thank full”….. thus the term Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving many people take their time to reflect on what they are thankful for and it is a compilation of everything everyone has given to them since last Thanksgiving. One day of an entire year is when this happens. It should be more than that. When someone gives you a reason to be thankful, thank them then, and when an opportunity presents itself where you can give them a reason to be thankful for something you have given them, do not hesitate. Do it! It becomes and endless cycle of thanks giving, and the world becomes a better place.

To everyone and everything I am thankful for this Thanksgiving, I hope I have been able to give something back to you to be thankful for. As well, I make a promise to you that I won’t just let you know how much I appreciate you and everything you have done for me on just one day of the year, but when you have given me a reason to thank you, thus continuing the cycle of Thanksgiving!

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Today we went to Jackie’s family reunion. We got to mingle with her family and talk to all her relatives who have twins as well and get some pointers. We saw a bunch of twins running around and it made both of us happy. We just simply can’t wait any longer.

This is actually pretty nice. A little desktop application where I can open a small editor and start typing.

As part of an initiative at work fro exploring some of the “Latest Technologies” I am starting my downloading, installing of applications and signing up for everything on the internet. I have already setup a twitter account.. which so far I find useless and already had a couple people I dont know, nor care for following me.. kinda creepy.. Ill prolly get rid of that..

So anyways.. I’ll try to keep you all updated.

Good Old Detroit

Mar 23

Posted by ChiliFrei64 in Events, General

Well today I went out to discover old industrial Detroit with Geoff. This was my first “real” time going to for a photo shoot with my new camera. I had gone out before and snapped a bunch of pictures but I didnt really know what I was doing at the time other then pressing the button. Overall the experience was interesting. Detroit, which at one point was a heavy industrial powerhouse is now in shambles compared to what it once was. Buildings torn down, busted out windows and garbage everywhere. It was almost a depressing time see what Detroit once was to what it is now. Next time we go out we need to hit up some of the newer downtown scenes where things have started to pick up and capture some more “uppy” pictures. Well, I wont leave you waiting, here are the photos.
