I just bought some webspace and a URL so I can host my blog from there. I may have that blog port over here periodically, but am unsure yet. If you want to know the goings on in my life, check out Ritchiekids.com

Well, on Friday, I got a job offer from a new company in downtown Tulsa. The pay is better and the job sounds much more exciting than my current one, but the benefits are more expensive. I took the job on the spot, which I now know was a mistake. Apparently, you are suppose to negotiate. Talking with my current boss this morning, he told me ( Read more... )

Today, my youngest son, Conner turned one year old. I can't believe how quickly time flies by. I have a 2 year old, a 1 year old, and I've been married nearly 3 years now. It's crazy. Before I know it, they'll be off to college or knocking chicks up and I'll be a grandpa.

Happy Birthday, baby boy!

We also found out that due to the ( Read more... )

The house closed today!!! I am now the proud payer of one house payment instead of the 2 that would have been due on Saturday. I dodged a major bullet on that one. Hopefully the road to recovery is here. It felt good actually depositing money in the bank instead of withdrawing it.

Me, I own two houses now. We got our closing to go through and now I'm the proud owner of my new place in Owasso. I spent the weekend moving as much as I could into the house. We've actually stayed there a couple days now. Luckily my wife gave the electric company a sob story to get our heat on Saturday, or it would have been a very long ( Read more... )

I can't believe how intense the last couple weeks have been. We've been living with my parents, now that the house is finally totally empty. The house still hasn't officially sold yet. The buyer's agents have been dragging their feet and it's been crazy ( Read more... )

Well, I'm still alive for the present time. I still have one more set of flights to take tomorrow to get back to T-Town. Hopefully, I'll be back home by 9:00 tomorrow night ( Read more... )
