Hi this is John!  Erin has been asking me if I was ever going to write anything on here and I decided it was time.  I have been very stressed lately.  I started a new job that keeps me VERY busy trying to learn computer documentation.  I hate it!  I loved writing notes with pen at the hospital!  I am also teaching a 5 credit hour class and taking a 5 wk class titled "How to Teach Online."  While it is not hard, it just takes time out of my already busy week!

With all of this, I have not had as much time as I would like to sit and reflect on our "situation" lately.  I am EXTREMELY excited and scared about this whole process of IVF.  Kids are AWESOME!  I love hanging with my nieces and nephews ranging from almost 8 yrs old to 11 months.  My biggest dream and biggest fear was always am I going to get to be a father and would I be a good father?  I have watched and learned about being a father from my father and father-in-law and our grandfathers.  Not to leave them out, I have also learned from my three brothers that are fathers to all my nieces and nephews! These men have taught me things that I want to pass on to my kids and things that I want to change. As Erin has always reminded me my greatest example is our Heavenly Father. He gave the ultimate sacrifice and showed us what true love really means!  I hope I do not let Him or these men in my life down.

I will write again soon.  My studies are calling me!  Go Texas Rangers!
