Oak and Cal

I'm sitting in a small biz payroll meeting, I'm thinking about you guys... I can't wait to watch u guys play baseball, football and learn to Love Christ. Thank you for everything you have given me

Boom

25. I am obsessed with John Mayer
24. I have an intense fear of drowning
23. I actually try to hand things to Oak in his left hand, hoping that he will be left-handed

21. Someday I will play guitar like i have been for years
20. I really like the Kansas City Royals, not my favorite team but they have my respect
19. When I hit a homerun in softball, even a solo, i feel like a professional athlete
18. I would rather watch Twins-Royals Sunday afternoon in May over any NBA basketball game
17. Sid Hartman was once my hero
16. A Paul Allen touchdown call makes the hair on my neck stand up

13. i used to tell my brother i could put him in the TV with the remote, he believed me until he was 10
12. One time i farted in an Altoid Container, that was random
11. In backyard baseball, first base was a raspberry bush. We always hit singles.

1. One time i was driving alone and i pulled into the car pool lane at 4:30pm on a Thursday with a cop behind me...

Oak Cal Amber

Oakley just went through is first jealous weekend. Callahan's birthday, poor kids both of them had a tough time. Oak struggled with jealousy by not allowing Cal to open a gift on his own and Cal craved isolation.
It did make me want to Apologize to Josh because i know that i was Oakley in 1989. It did make me treasure there ages though. Not just their current ages but how many years apart they are. Oakley will guide Cal and Cal will be pushed to be a better man by Oak. They will fiercely compete with each other and strive for their own excellence. I would like to see Cal as a sophomore playing in the same infield as his big brother. Oakley hitting his brother in stride running a TE slant...

Oak continues to challenge me to better for his Mom and his brother. He motivates me to keep up with his personality, character and DRIVE. I value his energy.

Florida will be here soon... i walked through 3345 yesterday. I felt like a giant, the cupboard above the microwave used to be so far away, now i can almost see the tops of the boxes inside. I am going to miss the closeness, the convenience and it sucks because it wont hit me until a super cold day in January as i am suffering through another crazy sales month. And all i will need at that time is to get into the CRV and take it to the Maxx.

thanks

Cal BDay
