2 Year Anniversary

Today marks 2yrs to the day that Melanie and I got married. Amazing how time has flown. I have a hard time remembering my life before God gave me Melanie. She is everything a man could want... intellegent, beautiful, caring, understanding, and loving. Is there anything more? I think not.

This past year Melanie has been my rock. She kept the family organized for a deep playoff run in baseball that led all the way to Round Rock and the state tournament. She packed Elise, arranged for Bailey/Dexter to be taken care of, kept the house in order, packed herself a bag, completed a full work week, and still managed to be the great coach's wife. Melanie was AMAZING

Then there is Elise, coach's little angel. When Melanie and I got married it was a package deal... 2 loves for the price of 1. Elise was 18 months old when we meet and on July 6th, we celebrated her 4th Birthday. Again, where has the time gone? No greater feeling for a coach than to have your loves come give you a hug and kiss after a great win or a tough loss. Melanie and Elise are my life, my soul, and my world. I thank God everyday for the chance to be apart of their life.


So, on this day that marks our 2 Year Anniversary, I say to you My Love... Happy Anniversary Melanie! I heart you for your unconditional love and the man you make me strive to become.

Review of article: "Partnership for 21st Century Skills"

A website "Partnership for 21st Century Skills" is a website that I read and attempted to evaluate. The mission of this website is to give every child in 21st century Amercia the knowledge and skills to succeed as effective workers, citizens, and leaders. One of the first set of goals stated in the website is directed toward increasing the 21st century students information and communication skills. These skills include information and media literacy skills, as well as communication skills. Other skills outlined are thinking/problem solving skills, interpersonal/self-direction skills, and global awareness.
