J-rod wrote: well i am back for my timely check in. sorry been gone so long. but man have i got some updates.


well for starters kyan is going to be 11 months old on the 15th. wow time flies. he is trying to walk but isnt too sure yet. he has 8 teeth and says mom,dad,bye very well. those of you with facebook have probably followed all his pics. or at least a lot of them.


steph and i got married on the 18th of may. (again facebooks people probably see the pics)

we are leaving for kure beach on the 21st. also coincidentally my last day working at the place i am now is the 20th. i have finally taken a new job. it starts the day after we get back from vacation.
i will be doing similar work but for the city. amazing benefits and insurance. so having another baby will not be a problem to pay for with the insurance.

so im very excited. sorry been gone. i do feel bad not coming here as often but i am super busy. also i almost forgot im coaching the high school girls team this year. a teacher took my job for the boys team cuz he wanted the money, so some people asked me to coach the girls and i accepted it. my girls are amazing and should be a very very good team!

if anyone has facebook. look me up.

J-rod replied:
i am sooooo incredibaly jealous of you.....

i played soccer my whole life, turned down 3 opportunities to play college, and now coach high school soccer.

thats awesome you all are a soccer family. i may need to come to DC for a game and meet you all. the last DC game i went to is when they played the Crew a few years back.

luvbug00 replied: come on down! it's too bad i didn't know this sooner i could have gotten you tickets to DC vs. LA! Becks plays on aug. 9th here!!!!!

they have sold over 30,000 additonal tickets to season holders. who want to sell those tickets online. But yeah come to VA and we can catch a game!

J-rod replied: im i think 4 hours from DC. so it not a bad drive at all.

i cant make any weekday games due to my coaching. although id LOOOOOOOOOVe to see Beck play.

ill check the schedule and see if/when we can make a game this season.
