Compatibility!

When you find someone that you are compatible with, you have probably found the one for you. Not everyone can get along with each other and in order to be with someone for the long hall it is a must that you guys can see eye to eye.

Life is a Journey!

Growing up I always thought that I was going to be a professional Baseball player. I played baseball ever since I was 5 years old, and it was my favorite thing to do. I went to college and played baseball at Clackamas Community College and then transferred my junior year to Western Oregon University. I started the year off great and then I injured my right arm which ended my baseball career. Life throws you curve balls and it is your turn to hit the ball in another direction when that happens. After I was injured I started playing my guitar and really fell in love with country music. There are a lot of things that have inspired me throughout my life and I know that I am meant to be a writer. I love to write so much and I have taken a lot of my time this last year to really learn how writing is developed and how it is structured in songs. I am recently engaged and I am the luckiest guy ever. My fiance is beautiful inside and out and she is without a doubt in my mind, the perfect girl for me. We have dated for over 4 and a half years and it has been such an amazing journey. We will be getting married Oct 1 2010. We just recently went on vacation to Nashville TN where I hope to move later this fall to pursue my music career as a songwriter. I was amazed when I went to Nashville TN and I fell in love with the people, the buildings, the houses, the little towns, and the atmosphere. It is a perfect place to live and start the journey of marriage. I have a lot of inspiring things to write about in my songs, such as friends, my parents, sports, and everything in life but one of the main things is my fiance. I love her so much and I am so excited to get married and share the rest of my life with her. Moving to Nashville would be a huge step for us and it would be an amazing experience that we would share together. Something new is always something exciting and she will be finishing up at the Art Institute of Portland this summer. She is a very talented girl and I support her in everything that she does.I know that it will be different for her at first if we move, but I want her to know that I will always be by her side and love her forever. My dream is not only to make it as a country songwriter, but is to be the best husband that I can be and give my future wife and kids a wonderful life. I will work hard to provide for them and I will always put them first. We are so close to our families and it would be hard to move away because we love them so much, but we would be in contact with them every single day and we would make sure that we came home to visit a lot.

Dreaming!

When we go to bed at night our bodies sleep but our minds dont. Believe it or not, we all have dreams every single night but we usually forget what they are about by the time we wake up in the morning. Dreams can be happy or they can be sad, we should be open to many different types of dreams and let our mind wonder. The more we experience in our lives, the more we can dream about. When we sleep we tend to have more of an imagination and that is why we have such drawn out and crazy dreams. I have a great imagination so all of my dreams are very entertaining and very detailed. I have always had a really good memory since I was a kid so I tend to remember most of my dreams. I do however suggest that you keep a notepad close to your bed so if you wake up in the middle of the night you can write down what your dreams were about. Don't be afraid of your dreams, have an open mind and go along for the journey.

Direction!

In life we all need to have some sort of direction in the way that we want to go. I really think that it is helpful because we know what to work hard for. Things sometimes don't work out the way we plan, but what matters is that we try. There are things I want to accomplish in my life, and I will do whatever I need to in order to achieve them. Direction is a way of motivation and can lead us to the places we want to be later on in life.

It's Snowing!

Today when I was eating lunch I looked out the window and I saw that it was starting to snow. There is 2 inches of snow now at my place in Tualatin. It is coming down hard, and it is awesome. The traffic is horrible today and there have already been a lot of accidents. The snow won't be here for long, so let's enjoy it when it is. When you get home tonight, make a fire and have some tea and look out at the snow. It is a wonderful sight and we should be thankful for it's beauty. Enjoy your day and drive safe.
