Last One, Things You May Not Know About Me Pt. 9

I proposed to Jamie at the garden of the National Cathedral in Washington DC. We love DC and plan to visit their many times in our future.

We found out Jamie was pregnant with Jace on her birthday. It was an amazing day that I will never forget.

I bought Jamie's engagement ring in San Francisco, CA.

I drove from Indy to Chicago, flew to San Francisco, bought Jamie's ring, visited the golden gate bridge, drove down the crooked street in San Francisco, flew back to Chicago and drove back to Indy all within 24 hours.

Jamie and I went on our honeymoon to Cancun, Mexico.

Random but I was very pleased to see gas for $3.59 when I got back to OKC tonight. That's sad but it did make me happy. Go OKC!!

Things You May Not Know About Me Pt. 8

I asked Jesus Christ into my heart when I was 18 years old.

I've gone on overseas mission's trips to Peru, Nicaragua and Argentina.

On the missions trip to Peru I got stuck there because I tried to fly back to the states stand bye. My whole youth group left and I never made it on the flight. I never felt so lonely in my life. I am very thankful that my parents bought me a ticket the next day to get home. Take my advice never try to fly stand bye out of a third world country.

I've gone on state missions trips to the inner city of Phoenix (my first ever missions trip) and 3 to Long Island, NY.

Things You May Not Know About Me Pt. 7

I was at the Colts game where Peyton Manning broke Dan Marino's singe season touchdown record. Unfortunately the Patriots ran the score up on people last year so Brady could break Manning's record.

I was at the Colts game where we had one of the biggest comeback victories in playoff history . The best part was it was against the Patriots and it led us to our Super Bowl Championship. This was a very emotional and stressful game, but by far the best game I have ever been to.

I attended a Colts away game against the Cincinnati Bengals. This was a high scoring game and very fun. I was cussed out, had my sign ripped up and had one guy want to fight me because I made fun of "Who Dey". He was mad we changed it to "Blue Dey". And it was "Blue Dey" because the Colts won.

I have been to at least 7 Colts games with my dad and they won every game. I told him he should have taken me to the San Diego playoff game last year!

Things You May Not Know About Me Pt. 6

I'm a crier when it comes to certain things.

I cried when I gave my life to Jesus Christ and felt his forgiveness for the first time.

I cried at my Dad's graduation when he got his degree. I was very proud of him, he had come a long way.

I cried when I proposed to Jamie and at our wedding.

I cried when I found out we were pregnant with Jace and when he was born.

I cried when my high school choir took 5th place in our state competition.

I cried when Bruce Willis said goodbye to his daughter (Liv Tyler) in the movie Armageddon.

I held back tears when the Colts beat the Patriots to go to the Super Bowl. I was at the game and it was intense.

I've cried during worship, hearing testimonies and while preaching.

Things You May Not Know About Me Pt. 5

I have a 24 year old sister, a 22 year old brother and little brother who is 4 years old.

I drove my mom to the hospital when she was going into labor with my little brother. Not to many people can say that.

I sang a duet with Jamie at her Mom's wedding. I was super nervous.

I have been up the Eiffel tower 3 times. Once with my Pepe (great grandfather), a school trip and with Jamie at night. It was a beautiful sight.

Things You May Not Know About Me Pt. 4

In high school my favorite class was choir.

My choir took 1st place in a national competition in New York.

My choir sang in Carnegie Hall.

My senior year I won the award Most Outstanding Bass Singer.

I was also in my high school play Bye Bye Birdie my senior year.

Things You May Not Know About Me Pt. 3

I've gone to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii three times. Every time my seats were on the 50 yard line between rows 2 and 10.

At the Pro Bowl I walked past Mike Tyson twice. He is a scary looking dude.

I asked Marshall Faulk for his autograph at the airport and he turned his back on me and his homeboy told me I need to know how to do it. What does that mean?! I guess I "didn't know how to do it" so I did not get the autograph, but I certainly laughed when he got pulled aside to be randomly screened and searched.

Leaving the pro bowl I stood behind Bill Cowher in the ticket line and rode the same plane as Tony Gonzalez (Chiefs) and Rich Gannon (Raiders).

The only autograph I ever got from the Pro Bowl was from Ken Dilger who used to play tight end for the Indianapolis Colts, the future 2008-2009 Super Bowl Champs!

Things You May Not Know About Me Pt. 1

I enjoyed my pastor's blog on this topic and decided to do my own. Here we go:

1. I was born in Mons, Belgium. For those geographically challenged - Belgium is a small country between Germany and France.

2. When I was 4 years old I spoke French fluently. (I don't speak it fluently anymore)

3. When I was little I had a bruised baby tooth that had to be pulled out.

4. When I was little I hit my uncle in the head with a baseball bat when we were playing hide and seek.

5. As a baby I had colic and drove my parents crazy.

Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm watching the Yankees play the Red Sox and figure I would drop in a blog.

If you didn't know I'm a huge yankees fan. Being a yankees fan has led to many different reactions from different people, here are few:

1. Most people frown and say "I hate the Yankees."

2. Other say, "You're not from New Y0rk." Then I explain how my dad is from Connecticut and my grandpa is from New York and both are Yankees fans.

3. Some say, "You're just a bandwagon fan." Then I explain how I've been a yankees fan since the days of Dave Righetti, Danny Tartabull and Don Mattingly (my favorite player) when they couldn't even make the playoffs. We also haven't one a championship in a while and I'm still supportin them.

4. One guy cussed me out. I was at a Cleveland Indians game and I wore my yankees jersey. After the game was over an Indians fan with a shirt celebrating the Indians 20 run win over the yankees started talkin trash. So I asked him, "how many championships have the Indians won?" After this he cussed at me and said "you weren't alive for them." Well I was at least alive for 4 of them and I think that is still more then the Indians have won ever. Ha!!!

It's fun being a Yankees fan because I enjoy the reactions I get from people and each year I'm confident they will be in the playoffs and have a shot to win the world series. To all the yankees haters, don't hate, celebrate!

This year is looking tough but so did the last few and we still made the playoffs so I'm expecting a major turnaround after the all star break and I will get to watch my team in the playoffs again.
