Valentine's Day War

-
Today for Valentine’s Day I left a Nerf  Mega gun sitting on our Kitchen counter with a card that read, Open If You Dare. Inside the card had all the rules and directions for the game.  It starts at 3 p.m. the first one to get hit has to make the meals on Saturday. She has no idea when I will be coming home or where I may be entering the house! I unlocked the front door, and our basement patio door. The Possibilities are endless! Although I do not know where she will be either!
I do not like to lose and do not plan to lose, but if I do it may be bitter sweet. She does not like what I cook so it may be a way for me to try some of my crazy dinner ideas I tend to come up with.This was just a fun little way to spruce up Valentine’s Day and make it a little more exciting, with a twist!
Our Weapons
Since this was written a last Valentine's Day, I'll fill you in on how it went down. I drove up to our block and parked a couple houses away. I snuck around to the back patio door, CRAP! It was locked. I carefully tiptoed around to the front door and tried the handle ever so slowly, trying not to make a sound. MAN! That door was locked too. She must be on to me. I was left with no choice but to open the garage door. I figured I was playing on the defensive side now. I looked in the garage. Bzzzzzzz What the.... Something just went flying by my head! I took off running for the house door. Then... I felt it. I was shot in the back. GAME OVER! Turns out she had been sitting with the kids in the back of her car with the windows down for 45 minutes waiting for me to come home. Oh well there is always the next holiday!
Lesson: You may lose the battle, but don’t lose the WAR! NERF WAR that is!

The Incident "Black Out"

It was three year ago today that I had my most terrifying life experience. The day started out like any other day. I woke up, educated the youth of America, and scurried home quickly to beat the weekend traffic to head up north. We had a seasonal trailer in Sturgeon Bay, which we had not been up there since last October. My wife (Sarah) and I were excited to take our son (Carter) camping for the first time that year. He was only 10 months old. After making the exciting three-hour drive up north, with a 10 month old, we needed to get all of our stuff unpacked and organized. I figured we had all weekend to work on things around the trailer, so I wasn’t going to go to crazy that first night. I turned on the water, water heater, electricity, carried the dogs cage in and of course made sure the T.V. worked. My parents and brother had campers right next to ours. The Friday night ritual was once everyone got up north, got unpacked, we would make frozen pizzas, have a few drinks and si

The Proposal

My wife and I met through a mutual friend that I was currently teaching with. She was trying to get us both to meet by having us in the same spot and make it seem random. With how awkward that sounded to us, we decided after talking online a few times to just go on a first date. It was the first blind date I ever went on.  I remember feeling extremely nervous and was not sure how it was going to go. Fast forwarding and now almost 5 years of marriage, I would say the first date went well enough for us to get to this point! The first time driving up to her house my heart was beating so fast and the little moths in my stomach were turning into butterflies flying frantically about. I remember contemplating as I pulled into her driveway, “I hope she likes the flowers. I hope what I am wearing is OK. I hope we have enough things to talk about for the night.” On our first date we went to dinner and then went mini golfing. I was trying to be a gentleman and let her win, which was very har
