I remember when I was young that I thought about growing up and what that would be like. I'm now working on 32 and I am wondering when the grown up switch was flipped. I didn't flip it. I was sitting at dinner today and I was correcting the behavior of my oldest son and it popped into my head that he would see me as I saw my father. so tonight as I have gone about the various activities I have been involved in I have been a little preoccupied by that.
I don't feel like my father. My father is in his mid fifties. Even if I think back to my earliest memories of my father, he is still someone that is twenty-five years older than I am. So then I take a close look at myself and realize that I am the man my father was 25 years ago (almost at least I am not gay and/or questioning my sexuality), I am making big decisions that affect the lives of at least three other people. I have a wife who I dearly love and want to help her be happy, and as crazy as it may sound I want to wake up next to her fifty years from now. I have two little boys that I can't wait to see when I get home and it makes my day when i hear them call me Daddy.
I don't know who flipped it, or when the grown up switch was flipped, but it has; and though it will be hard at times for me to deal with I am glad it has because I like being a Dad/Husband/Man.

As the boys and I were getting together our things so we could get outside for a bit, Will said something to me that has become something of a catchphrase for him. He told me, as I was putting on his gloves, that his gloves are so nice because they "feel me so warm". obviously that means that they keep him warm. Warm enough in fact that we go out and throw snow about.
... and you know what our little adventure "feeled me so warm" too (on the inside that is).

Add to it the lack of sleep the parents are getting.
I love my wife and she is going the extra mile taking care of these boys... despite the fact that it looks like she might be catching their cold. I am lucky to have married a woman who is such a wonderful mother. I hope my kids will always know how wonderful their mother is.
My kids are troopers too. Will has tried so hard not to let the cold get him down. Thank goodness for the Hap Palmer movies we got from the library to distract him. Walker is a funny cat. He is just trying so hard to pretend that he isn't sick....
Here's to that apple a day.....

Today my youngest son started calling me Dada. He has been babbling for sometime now and has had some nonsense words that carry meaning like Ba which means Light or Madada means music. But right now if you point to me and ask him who I am he will say Da Da.
So resolutions be damned for right now I am Da Da.

It is funny I have seen many milestones for people in my life and it is funny how proud it makes me to see my son do something as simple as ask to go pee pee. I guess that is what being a parent is all about.
Ten years from now I will most likely look back and have many of these proud moments to look back on. I can't imagine I will recreate this feeling, but I am excited for the memories. It must be the Historian in me.

I have a feeling you're not going to like this much. Do I care? No. How do I know? It's because you hate criticism. You love to be loved and you'll do anything to be accepted.

I have accepted a job at a local Radio Station as their Operations Manager. I will actually be running the Operations at 2 stations. KCPW in Salt Lake City and KPCW Park City. Confusing isn't it.
Today is my last day here at ACS and I am filled with a flood of different emotions I am nervous about the road ahead. it means I will be leaving the safe environment that I have become used to here at the U. Hopefully I am pursuing new an more rewarding opportunities for me and my family.
Wish me luck
