Our daughter is coming − 22 June, 2008

As of today, there are 17 days til Adrianna's scheduled birth, and Tidah, Seth and I are ready. Well ready as can be.

I have devoted myself as of late to work, to make sure we are comfortable, and Adrianna has a nice welcoming. It has been tough, will only get tougher, but Seth and I both can't wait until things get even better.

We both work hard, we work for what we believe in, we dream but we don't let things/people get in our way.

Seth received her nursing license, and we are all more than proud of her. She will becoming to a medical facility near you to help save lives.

She passed one of the hardest nursing tests while being 7 months pregnant. Piseth is Amazing (I love you honey).

Tidah is growing way too fast, she is almost as tall as me (if i am sitting down). She is smarter than ever. We get tremendous confidence from people when we are told how smart and well disciplined she is. She is still a kid, but my hope is both of our girls will one day change the world. I don't think I can, but hopefully we will spark the mind that does.

I hope I can teach Adrianna all she needs to know to get through this world, to get through life. Honestly, its horrible out there right now. From the political games that are ever progressing to insane new heights of hatred in our leaders, to the economy becoming a burden that is tremendously unbearable to many out there, a good example is gas prices, and food prices. I hope Adrianna understands patience, patience to know that good things come to those who wait, and work hard. One of my favorite quotes that says it all (from an uknown author):

"Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working. "

I keep working, it hasn't always been the easiest, and like Scott said, I have been to hell and back and have t-shirts for everyone. I, like many others, have encountered friends that have come and gone, relationships where there was sourness thrown at me, and tough to keep everything you need in front of you. However, I have too much pride.
My dad and mom didn't have it any easier, so I remember what they went through, and I translate it to making sure my kids never have to deal with anything harder, than what they have to.

To Seth, Tidah and Adrianna, I will be there greatest shield and the first person to always wanting to see them smile, and be happy.

17 more days to prepare myself, and figure out how I can further push not only Adrianna, but Tidah as well, to be cold towards adversity, to be angry at inefficiency, to be ignore those who try to stop them from being great, and to be humble and know that things could be worse, and that their elders will always be watching them, as they have sacrificed and fought through much to get them here. Which is something we should all remember, history. Not only our history or our parent's history, but all around. Humility is a great teacher, when it's lessons are utilized in the proper manner.

I, and we need to change things, the world is bad, but we aren't doing anything to make it better. Time to close our eyes, and remember there are more things to life than money, expensive cars, partying like irresponsible maniacs, and ourselves. We have forgotten.

And this is something I hope I can teach my daughers, this is something that especially my own blood will be able to accomplish, and I have faith that she will.

She will understand, not by me forcing her too, but because of the love, relationships, and experience she can learn from her sister, her mother and I.

I love you Piseth, Tidah and Adrianna (coming July 9th).

My daughter will do what I wasn't able to.

My daughter will be better than I .

I just know it =)
