My Life

Hey Everyone,

You all write so much about your lives and yet I have nothing on my life and how it has been. Most of you even my close family think you know a lot about my life and you do but most don't really know what I'm dealing with.

So I guess I will start today with the beginning of my life or what i can remember. The earliest I can remember is my surgery at the age of three I think... not sure. I had bladder surgery because one of my tubes were twisted and not connected properly. The only thing I remember is waking up in the middle of it with like five doctors hovering over me and looking down to see three tubes sticking out of my abdomen. Well not the best thing to remember from my childhood. I remember living in a small two bedroom apartment before our aunt picked us up for good. Further details of that is personal and sorry you have to know the family for those details.

So I grew up in Lakewood, Colorado, and enjoyed almost everything about it. I love playing soccer and if it weren't for that I would have never met my best friend Curtis. Him and his family are the main reason I am still sane. I have now him since at least the fifth grade when we played on the same soccer team and quickly became really good friends. From that day forward we were almost inseparable, he showed me things I would have never been able to do from rollerblading, jet skiing, flying, and many other things. So I went through school doing classes I still regret... marching band.... I was never big on that but I loved music, i could only do music if i did that. Well I graduated High School in 2004 and began college the next winter. Was doing good in class until....I met my girlfriend....now wife. I ended up spending more time with her than in class. By the way I will never regret that choice, I know it was the best choice I ever made. Well as a result I was kicked out of my aunts house because i spent more  time with her than anyone else. You all have heard the stories, I would literally walk for five hours just to go see her... she lived up north. I would Rollerblade, walk, ride a bike, or ride the bus. As I was saying I would do anything to be with her and still am.

So we were raised by our Aunt for most of our lives. She did everything she could to make us work more than everyone else in the house. In those days I hated every minute of it, but every day I think more about it I am thankful for everything she did to us from treating us different to us feeling like her slaves doing all the chores. I also hated that she was always checking are grades at school... she worked in the computer lab. So now I have come to learn that without all those jobs and shit I would not be here today.

So after being kicked out I moved around with her from job to job backing back my loans for school. Finally we settled in Aurora with her dad. I began working at Safeway, and went from a bagger/cart pusher to the merchandiser who set up the end displays on the aisles and displays by the entrances. Well during this time Candice and I thought about me joining the Air Force as her dad did. Well after a couple days we decided I will, I had no intention of ever joining. The only catch for her was I got to choose the job I wanted, thus I am now a Cop. For all you who don't know we are called Security Forces. Well six years later and many pay grades higher... now E-5... I am enjoying my life in the Military.

Well this is all for today.... the next chance I get I will put in more details for you all and show you what I really do in the military and some things we are personally going through. You all think its hard for you just wait.
