I've lived a lot of places, I have a lot of great friends, & a very patient family. I've been lucky with the relationships that I've developed ( takes work ) and I have a beautiful and highly intelligent wife ( after all she married me ). I've also developed strong relationships with people that I've worked with. Although one has been takin away from us, I will always cherrish the talks we had.

I also have many friends that I've met through Ultima Online. I've even met some of them in person. Some of these cyberfriends have become some of my closest friends, & I know we'll always stay in touch.

I've let friendships slide in the past and regret some of the people that I have lost contact with. I do not want that to happen again! I'll try hard to keep in touch with ALL of you! ( yikes! )

I've learned so much from my wide variety of friendships. I've learned that people are not perfect ( god knows i'm not ), and you have to accept their faults along with their strengths. I try to communicate my affection to people in my life ( it's hard for me ), it goes against my comfort zone, but I've got to get beyond that. People are too important!

To all of my loved ones that read this (you know who you are! ) ( i hope )( if you don't, i guess i need more work ) I love you man!!

Me, Emory & Blake (Easter egg hunting)
