Veteran's Day



Today is the last Veteran's Day that I will have while on active duty. Finally after almost 20 years of service to our great nation it is my time to retire. I hope that everybody is out and supporting our troops both home and abroad. May God bring them all home safe and may the families continue to be strong in their support of their loved one. Be strong my fellow service members and Veterans on this great day. May God shine down on all of us.

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. ~ Elmer Davis

Angel's Birth




One day late in July was a very special day for us. The arrival of the most precious thing in the whole world. It was baby Angel's birth. After 22 hours of labor she was finally here in the world. She weighed 6 pounds and 7 ounces, She was 20 inches  long, had dark brown hair, dark gray eyes, and light colored skin.

Trick or Treat 2010



On Halloween 2010 we traveled up the coast to Ontario, CA to spend it with our friends Riza, Garret, and baby Kaylani. This is the second time my wife has ever experienced Halloween as they do not celebrate Halloween in the Philippines. We went to Ontario Mills shopping mall and handed out candy while we were dressed in out costumes. My wife was a sexy Indian Princess, Baby Angel was a lady bug even though she slept most of the time, and I was Dionysus  the ancient Greek God of the grape harvest, wine making, of ritual madness and ecstasy. It was a great time seeing all the kids being safe and collecting candy from all the stores in the mall.
