Let's give this a shot.....

After reading some of the blogs my friends have created over the past year or so, I have been inspired to begin one myself.  I cannot promise that this will always be the most politically correct and "safe for work" blog you will ever read.  I also cannot promise that it will always be the humorous rantings that many of you have come to expect from me via facebook.  Put simply, we are gonna see where this thing takes up.  Feel free to comment, provide feedback, agree, disagree, debate....etc.

So here we go..........I will start off my giving the update on where my life currently is and the big things that are on deck for me.  As most of you know, I am currently expecting my first child in April of 2012.  To say that is a bit of a reality check is the understatement of the century.  Suddenly the guy who many regard as a big kid is actually going to be responsible for a child of their own.  The reality of that responsibility is enough to stop you in your tracks when it sets in.  I do consider myself very lucky though given that I have the financial means and support system to be ready to raise a child.  The examples of great parenting I have seen from my parents and many friends have been educational in how I expect that I will react when my time comes with my little man.  God help me if this kid is more like me than his mom though.  Our spare bedroom, once known as "The Watson Suite", currently resembles a bomb shelter in Fallujah.  The history on my computer is now loaded with babiesrus.com and buybuybaby.com links.  Superbowl party plans are now taking a back seat to baby shower plans.  All in all, this is the most exciting period of my life I have experienced.  Every day seems to bring a new reality that my world is about to be very, very different.  I am finally at a point in my life where I actually welcome that change.
