If you want to go far, go together.


My wife is the most important person in my life. Followed by my children, and then by my friends. You can tell as she is mentioned in many of my posts.

 

We have been married for what seems like a lifetime because that's what it has been. A lifetime of mostly joy but sometimes pain.

 

It has been a challenge sometimes. Raising our three children, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I know many can boast more children, I don't personally, know many, who can boast more years! She has always given me my fair share in our relationship, and most times more. My hat goes off to her and women like her I don't say all these things because she will no doubt read them; I say them because they are true.

 

From memories that stem from the operating room, where you were giving birth to our son Scott. And after Scott was born, the doctor looked at me and asked if I'd like to cut the umbilical cord. I looked at him and asked, as I looked around the room, "Why, isn't there someone here more qualified. "

 

Too, just recently, you had me laughing so hard. I could barely breathe. You scared the, you know what out of me, literally! You blew a whistle on the phone at a telemarketer from a company, that refused to honor your request to stop calling us. It's stuff like that which made us made for one another. It's stuff like that which keeps us together.

 

We complete each other’s sentences, although these days you complete many more of mine. Of course, that makes sense, since I type what, like 12 to 15 words per minute.

 

I hope to have at least as many more years together on this earth, as we have spent together thus far or more. There are not many couples who can say they have what we have. Still, fewer who will ever figure out what that is. Our life together continues to be a journey. We both realize that and that is why it works!

 

I truly hope that you can find what I have found. Or that you have already found it. If ever you think of walking out that door, please reconsider. Don't let, what may be the best part of your life go without a fight.

 

Jonell, I can easily say you are the best part of my life. This life isn't what I thought it would be, because of you, it has been so much more.

 

Through all my shortcomings, you held me up and gave me a family I can be proud of. A home that although it may not be the mansion I dreamed of, has mostly been filled with laughter and tears of joy. And a lifetime of which epic films are made. I just hope our film is nowhere close to being over, I'm not ready for the credits to roll!

Cast of Characters

  We each surround ourselves with people by choice or by necessity, I'm no different. It's important that you learn who my players are, and that you figure out who your key players are along the way. Ask yourself, if you had a serious, life-changing accident, who’s the first person you could expect to be right by your side? Now I know this is where I'm going to lose a lot of you, but I don't care. The answer is Jesus! No, this isn't a religious BLOG, but when it comes to my faith, I make no apologies. Jesus is the first one I know I can count on. Now when we're talking earthbound souls, there is first my wife Jonell, she is an amazing woman and my true soul mate! When you are talking about supporting actors, you must ask yourself, if that person were playing BINGO and they are holding on one number, are they likely to stay and finish the game, or get right up and rush to be by your side when they hear that you are in need? You definitely want the latter...

In the beginning

Imagine if you will it's almost bedtime, and you start to think about all the things you need to get done tomorrow. Of course, there's work, tomorrow I need to be there at one. And then, the car is due for an oil change, if I leave early for work, I should be able to get it done in time and you still have to get registered with some other companies for AEP (Insurance Term), it's just around the corner. I'll have time to do that during my lunch break. Then you told your son you'd swing by his place to take a look at his jeep, it's making a strange noise. You can leave even earlier for work, that hopefully won't take too long. Sound familiar? Although the list of things to be done will be different, it's what each of us goes through almost every night. Planning a day so full that we don't leave ourselves much wiggle room. And when something goes wrong, we stress out. And when we stress out, we cause those around us to get stressed. Not a healthy way to...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

  Now comes the time that we celebrate one year of the Bedheadbob BLOG.  Well actually, the one year anniversary won't be the one year anniversary, it isn't until this Saturday, April 8th, so you still have time to get me that red Corvette I've always wanted.  On a serious note though, it is a special moment for me, as I celebrate not only the accomplishment of what I consider to be one of the crowning accomplishments of my life, but also the bond I feel with each of you, although we've never met, at least most of us.  Which brings me to the topic of this week's BLOG... YOU! For the past several weeks, I have dedicated a BLOG post the some very special people in my life. All of them women, but that could just be a coincidence; ). This week is no exception. I am continuing by saluting the readers of this BLOG, who make this all worth while. No matter where you are along your own personal journey, you should know what a big part my journey you have become, and I hope ...
