Fair warning to anyone reading into this, I am very new to blogging and I am an average writer at best.  However I have been through alot in my life and would love to share my thoughts and stories about my life and life in general.  I have two kids, a little girl Katie, and A little boy Johnny Echo or Jet as we call him.  I am married to the beautiful and motivated Melissa Terrell who is as real as a person could be and has the same drive that I have but is quite a bit more capable then me when it comes to the professional side of life.  I have many awesome stories including her and will hopefully get some of those up on here.  But the main point I'm going to want to get across is holding on to The Big Picture in life.  Wether it be getting a degree to go to another school to finally one day have the dream job you want, or starting from scratch as an athlete to hopefully end up at the starting line of the Kona Ironman one day.  I love the idea of things like that!  I love the journey so why not stretch the journey out alittle bit.   Stick with me and hopefully I can help motivate somebody in some way and let people know that life really is what you make of it.
