For his own reasons God wanted Dr. Ron Paul to bow out. I am submissive.

These are my 2 Heros in Politics! Dr. Ron Paul & Pastor Chuck Baldwin.

Hello to all my friends and family!

Well where do I start. In our small town of West Fork we have something called West Fest. Since I am running for re-election to City Council, we made a float. So much fun. I tell you 2 years ago I couldn't imagine a senario on earth that would've required a had a float. LOL but God takes us different directions all the time. So here we go.

I love all the changes, I find them to be an Beautiful Alogory of Faith.

All the life "Summer" let's you enjoy.

The "Fall" of man!

The cold "Winter" of death.

The "Spring" back to Life...A true resurection of life.

So we moved.

Welcome to the Fork!!!

Well it's been a while since we have spoken or seen most of our friends back home. For this we apologize. We miss you all very much. It has been a wild year that is for sure. We moved across country leaving behind all that we knew and loved in hopes of finding a better home and place to start a family. We like to think we found it. While it isn't for everyone it works for us and suits us well. Eventful it was with a move, a new baby (hankster, new job, and well...everything is new here! We have adjusted very well, and are getting plugged in. We found a church relatively quickly, not easily but quickly. We became members and are growing with our new family there. We miss all our homies out at the branch though. AH BAY BAY!! (that's a shout out to z branch) Anyway, since I am writing this I can brag about Jax...She has taken to motherhood just as we all knew she would. She is an amazing mother and the best wife ever. I am so blessed to be apart of there lives. Hank is a typical Richard. He is rowdy and loves to play. He is very self sufficient, and rarely cries (this makes us nervous to have another) LOL. But after seeing what a joy he is and just how much we love him its hard to not want to love another one that much. I will upload some video soon. This is our first blog. (tanks to ju shea) Jax has a few friends here on our street (including her sister who lives next door) which is always nice. I have 3 really great friends out here. My friend Ian moved out here after we did and fell in love hasn't gone back. I don't see him as often as I would like, but he is still single and like the party seen more than I do or really ever did. But I love the guy and he loves Hank. He is a surrogate uncle. I have another great friend Jon that I met at work, he satisfies all of my movie and book needs from a Friend. you can find us often on the driveway late night talking about Star Wars or RC Sproul over a beer. Then there is Rodney...He is my neighbor 2 doors down, he and his wife have become very good Friends of ours. They have four children all older in their teens now.

Fall Sky is unbeatable!

We have gone on vacations with them and do weekly BBQ's also. We have a very special couple in our lives out here also. They were the real estate agents who sold us our house, they also ended up be members of the church we found (no thanks to them) LOL could killed them when we saw them there that first Sunday. We had a hard time finding a reformed church. They have also taken on the role of God Parents to Henry. We love Don and Heather very much, and Hank is blessed to have them here. It is very hard for us being so far from our loved ones, I have been a little more fortunate than Jackie in that my family has visited more times. But her dad and sister moved out here, so I think she is in the lead. Not a contest. I just miss my guys (aka, bammy, squam-bot-deddle-dee, guyge-monster, and Joe-boe-baggins) My big sista is the most pain. As most of you know we have an extraordinary bond and it is very hard not being able to smile, laugh, cry, giggle, sniff, snarf and even fight with her. Maybe we will all be together again soon. Well it's in Gods hands. Needless to say, we are happy and sad. My mom is here with me now for 2 months that is soooo nice. It satisfies that internal need for family. I talk to my dad periodically he is a very busy man with his new family, but always makes time to shout out and say hello and I love you. (and talk politics) speaking of which, I have been elected onto the West Fork City Council. I am taking this responsibility very serious as it is my job to guide this community for my family and our future. This is an amazing community we live one of the last that vocally puts God first, then family and community. Again we are so blessed to be here. Well I am going to go for now, I will come back after we watch National Treasure 1 and 2, and add more pics and possibly video.

Love you all.......ah bay bay!
