Red in the Face

So last night Breanna and I were sitting on the couch watching The Office and we are kind of goofing around and being silly. I pushed her arm away from me and told her not to touch me. Then she puts her hand right up to my face and says "I'm not touching you...I'm not touching you." So I stuck out my tounge and licked her hand...WHACK!!! She slapped my face so hard. I totally grossed her out and that was her first reaction. I think I laughed for about five minutes and it was way worth the slap in the face for the reaction that came from Breanna. It was all my fault any way. I am about the least mature person ever so I guess I get what I deserve, and no I did not learn a lesson from this cause I'm thinking a wet willie might be in someone's near future. HA!!!

Daddy Daughter Date Night

Tonight I asked my daughter Gia to go on a Daddy Daughter date with me. I told her that I would put on my suit, and she could where a nice dress and I would take her to dinner, and afterward we could go on a carriage ride at the mission in. She looked at me like I was some sort of alien and quickly replied, "okay, but I'm not going to kiss you." What a response! I hope she says that to all the boys. I explained that its not like a real date, it was just a time when Daddy get to spend special time with his little girl, and of course there would be no kissing cause that would be sick and gross and lots of other wierd things. I think she understood, so maybe this weekend my little princess and I will go for our carriage ride.

I'm not going to like it!

My friend Rocky had been bugging me for weeks about going to Threshold. Its a climbing gym here in riverside. He would come in and talk about how great it was, and even went so far as to get us all a free pass so we could try it out. I finally agreed to go, but only to prove to him that I would not like it. After all, exercise is not fun, and climbing a rock would be no different to me. I have asked people before why they climb things and what was so exciting about it, and often I have heard lame answers like..."because its there." What ever, I knew I wasn't going to like it but if going there for an hour to prove it was all it would take, I could handle that.

My plan back fired!!! I enjoyed it so much, I signed up for a year and now I am so motivated to get into another shape besides round. I started running again, and hitting the weights, in addition to the climbing and so far I have lost 15 pounds and it hasn't even been a month yet. I'm not great at it yet, but I feel like I'm improving pretty fast. I changed my diet too, and for the first time in a long time I feel like this could be a life style rather than just another diet. So yeah, my narrow mindedness got the best of me again, but it worked out great cause I found something that I really enjoy. Its so cool too, cause my girl friend Breanna seems to like it a lot too and Ryan and Rocky both go there, and its owned by a guy who goes to Sandals church. Now I just have to figure a way to get rid of the blisters on my hands from all the climbing.

Thanks Rocky!!

Ginger Bread House

I went to pick up Gia today and it was my lucky day! Most days when I pick her up I get little drawings, and macaroni glued to purple paper, but today was different. Today she made me the good stuff. Not that it is not all great, but this took it to a new level. She made a ginger bread house. It was made with gram crakers, and hersheys kisses and peppermints. It looked so amazing! I wish I could keep it forever. Gia of course just wants to eat every little piece of candy that make up the doors and windows, but I have her convinced that we should keep it in one piece for now. Days like these are the best days to be a dad. I was so proud of my little girl.
