I would like to introduce a very special person who has entered my life. She is 5'4' & 3/4, and the 3/4 matter. She is a Doctor of Physical Therapy at a hospital. She specializes in pediatrics (infant-18 yrs.). She is from Winter Haven, Florida. She is one of 4 kids. Her father is an Citrus Dealer in Florida, and her mother is a professional mom. She graduated from BYU and then PT school from Elon University in North Carolina. She is very athletic. She plays volleyball, basketball, and she and her friends have even ran a marathon. She has a pretty good jump shot, but she can't seem to shoot over me. It is wonderful to have a her in my life. She is very smart and quick witted. Not many things get by her. It is nice to have someone with similar beliefs and goals in my life right now. She has really helped me get my smile back. So please welcome my new friend Dr.D.

GRANDMA'MA
On Thursday February 14h, I had the privilage of fitting Larry Johnson aka "Grandma'ma" for golf clubs. He is a former Charlotte Hornet & New York Knicks NBA basketball player. He was also on the UNLV Men's Basketball team that played Duke in the National championship game in 1991. The CEO of my company and his agent know each other. His agent called me on the Monday before asking to bring in one of his clients. I was excited because I have always been a huge basketball fan. He was a really awesome individual! He had a really good swing for someone so tall and not playing on a regular basis. I was very impressed by how down to earth he was. He was nice enough after the club fitting to take pictures and sign hats for the staff of my company.
I am truely blessed to be in the place I am at in my life. With all challenges come great rewards!
A New Beginning
On Feburary 6th, I offically started the next chapter in my life. It was the day my divorce was final. I was married for 5 1/2 years. We had some very good times together, and I will look back on these years as very important life lessons. There are some many things I learned about relationships, but I also realize I have much much more to learn.
2007 was the hardest year of my life. I have never had such a time in my life where it felt like my life was being pulled in two completely different directions. On one hand I was married to a person I committed to spend the rest of my life with. I have been exteremly blessed to have a job and career most people dream of having. I have a job that I really feel at home at. I enjoy my co-workers, and I have had the oppurtunity to meet some very interesting people. I get to travel, talk and play golf. I don't know of a better opportunity to use the talents with which I have been blessed. Then mid way thru the year my marriageand relationship began to unravel. I no longer knew or understood the person I was married to. It became imposible to communicate any further. The burden of the marraige became more than the commitment I was getting from my now ex-wife.
I had to make the hardest deciision of my life after spending Thanksgiving with my family and seeing what I want and knowing that having a family was no longer an option with my ex, I contacted an attorney and filed for divorce. Then after spending Christmas mith my family and talking with friends, I recieved the most wonderful revelation of all. We are here on earth to be happy and to have strong, healthy relationships with people that want the same goals. I had a very comforting feeling come upon me confirming the choices I was making.
It has been a long lonly road the past year, but as my grandmother told me on several occasions "Anyone can hold a tiger by the tail that long!" I will not look back and say thes were the worst years of my life but some of the most educational. What I learned about my self and overcoming adversity, will forever be etched in my heart.
I want to thank all those who inspired, encouraged and loved me through this most trying time in my life. I can only hold to the rod and look for the good ahead of me in life. For as long as I see the good in all things I know that my Heavenly father will guide me the rest of the way home.

This past September I had the honor of visiting the Pine Valley Golf Club. It is about 30 miles east of Philadelphia in New Jersey. It is consistently voted in the top 3 golf courses in all of the United States. It is also voted in the top 10 in the world year after year. One of the Board of directors for my company invited me. Two other people from my company were invited as well. We were flown in and then limoed to the golf club. We spent two nights in the club house, and played the main course 3 times in two days. Above is a picture of the 15th hole. It is a 655 yard par 5. The tee shot is played over the water with a 250 yard carry to just get over the water. Then the hole doglegs to the right and is up hill to the green. This plays as the longest par 5 I have ever played. I hit Driver, 3 wood, and still had 150 yards left for my third shot. This was the most amazing golf experience of my life (so far)! Some members include Dan Quail (pas Vice President), Roger Godell (NFL President), and both Arnold Palmer & Jack Nickalus.
