My baby girl....

Guess what? Yep, you're right. I'm bored. It is Thursday, so at least the weekend is almost here. Tomorrow I get to go to St. Louis! That sounds really exciting, except it really isn't! I have to get up at 4:45am and get to work about 5:30am just so my boss can drive us down to a boring seminar. The seminar is over by the St. Louis Airport. I would rather watch planes take off and land than have to go to the seminar. Maybe I can work that out. :) Anyway, I have some new pics of my beautiful daughter. Supposedly, she looks just like me - so what does that say about me!! ;) J/k

This is one of my all-time favorite pics of Maddie. She definitely has a very cute personality. She loves her sunglasses!! She looks like a little movie star. And check out that halter top!! :)



This is Maddie in her little Cardinal cheerleader outfit! We took her to her first Cardinal game on the Saturday before Memorial Day. She made a build-a-bear Monkey that is dressed in almost the same exact outfit. It plays "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and make monkey noises. Go Cardinals!!!



Becca said that Maddie was being a brat in this picture. So, she gave her a mohawk to match her personality. Contrary to what some might think, Maddie does have a very crabby side! :)

This picture is at Maddie's first Cardinal game. Becca had always wanted a big finger, and she finally got it!!!

The three of us at the Cardinal game.

Maddie's first birthday party. Mmmmm.... Icing!!!!!!!!!!

Grandma with Maddie Rose. Contrary to what Grandma might think right now, Maddie loves her to pieces.

This is all the picture for now. Don't worry, there will be more later! I promise. I am a very proud daddy, so I will be sure to keep everyone updated on Maddie. I can't hardly believe she is a year old already! She is walking all over as well. Kids just grow so fast.

Until next time.....

The Boring Day.....

So..... why did I start this blog? As you might guess, I was bored. Sometimes the life of an accountant can be boring. Well.... let me rephrase..... most of the time the life of an accountant can be boring. It does pay the bills, though. Life just doesn't turn out like you think it will while you are in highschool! Back then, I remember the excitement of choosing a career. The misconception was that once I was done with college, my job would not just be a job. That is what colleges try to make you think. Come here, pay us at least $20,000, and we will give you a job that you will love every day of your life. WRONG! My job turned out to just be a job. I might somewhat like what I do, but that does not mean my job is any less of a job. I still have to wake up and get ready to go to work. I still have to work with people I don't really like. All in all, my job is just a boring job. If you are still in college, or looking forward to going to college, I hope I didn't burst your bubble. You probably won't believe me anyway. I didn't believe those people who told me the same thing.

I am currently at work just wasting time writing this blog. The good part of my job is that during the summer I am not busy. Is that good? Sometimes. I like not being overworked, but sometimes the day just drags by if you are underworked. Playing games online can get old. At least I have a lunch break in the middle of the day to go home and see my wife and baby. That never gets old.

Well, I better get back to doing nothing. Hope your day isn't half as boring as mine!
