Yesterday my family and I went to the Sarah Palin rally that was in our city. We’ve never been to one before and the experience was a good one. We got there early and were able to get right up to the stage (or as close we were allowed).
The funny thing about the whole rally was how my daughter and I were a little too interested in the secret service men than with the speeches from the candidates. Here’s a picture of Sarah from the rally.
Joanne and I got married on June 4, 1994. Before we got married we discussed about having children. We agreed that we wanted to have more than two children. We were expecting to have at least one biological child since Joanne was already in her thirties and we were running our dance studio at the time. We also agreed that we would most likely adopt a child. Joanne’s brother was adopted and we both have friends that were too.
After trying to conceive a child for a couple of years, we were still not successful (though we had a lot of fun trying). We started to look into adoption and to see what was involved with the procedures. Not long afterwards we decided to move to Florida, so the adoption had to be put on hold since the lawyer we were dealing with didn’t have a license to practice law there.
After we finished moving, Joanne start looking in to what we needed to do to adopt. Shortly afterward we started with the home study. When we told the case worker that we would be adopting other children eventually, she suggested that we might want to think about adopting a sibling group. We thought about it for a couple of days and agreed on adopting a sibling group.
I don’t want to go too much into the steps that Joanne and I had to go through or the long period before the adoption was finalized (from start to finish it took one year). This post is just to introduce the wonderful family that Joanne and I have created.
We have three kids, Cimion (sim-e-on), Shawna and Jacqueline, when we met them they were 10, 7, and 4. They were (still to this day) very cute and good looking. When the adoption was finalized on October 30, 2003, they all celebrated a birthday. It’s now been five years and I don’t know what my life would be without them in my life. They have brought me such great joy and excitement and look forward to watching them grow up.
In future post I will talk about each one individually.
During this election (2008) I was getting fed-up with all the hoopla surrounding Barack Hussein Obama that I needed to vent, but then to add to the political scene we had Senator Ted Stevens’ corruption hit the news channels. After talking to Joanne about the crap in Washington and around this beautiful country, I felt that I need a place to get my frustrations out.
The great thing about living here in the United States of America is that there is such a thing as “Freedom of speech. So to exercise my constitutional and patriotic right Joanne and I created Left and Right Politics.com, a site dedicated to informing the American people of the politicians that represent them.
If you want to know the real story and catch some commentary, click on the link and we hope it helps you with your political decisions.
One of our website that Joanne and I run is a blog that is dedicated to the stock market. The site is actually my flagship site. Every day I add content related to what happened in the stock market that day as well as informative lessons added in.
The blog is Beating The Stock Market. I started it with the man who helped me get an understanding of the markets and how to properly trade stocks. Since then he has lost interest and I’ve taken over the site by myself. I enjoy the stock market and look forward to learning something new everyday.
If you want to learn about the stock market or at least see the good work I put into the site, please click on the link and visit.
Thanks to all that help make “beating the stock market” a successful site.
Today would have been my mother’s 68th birthday. Unfortunately she was diognosed with cervical cancer in 1999 and lost the battle on April 26th, 2001. I wanted to let all that read this blog what this day means to me.
I love you mom and I miss you greatly
