So I haven't updated this site in the longest time (like about 8 months!) and all I have to say for it is.... whooohooooo! marriage is GREAT!! God is very good to put us together to partner with each other for this life. I definitely consider myself a very blessed man and when people ask me how we met I like tell them that I won my wife in the lottery! haha. OK so here goes a bit of a pictorial rundown on the last 8 months - beginning with some Aussies who came over for the wedding back in April. [View Full Entry]

I have just had the most amazing and awesome last few days of my life! This past weekend I proposed to my gorgeous spanish senorita in the Carribean - and she said YES!! Some people win the lottery and its money or a car or something else but I won the lottery in order to meet this amazing girl! Literally! The green card which I won took me to the USA back in January but I had decided it wasn’t for me and was on my way back to Australia after a brief holiday in the Carribean when I met her!

What is going on? Weren't you just down there not too long ago? What's the attraction? Why do you keep going back to the Carribean? Well, after I received my first pay check from the new job it was the Labor Day long weekend and, well, to put it not so clearly, Romeo has a continued strong incentive... [View Full Entry]

Just north of Tampa on the serene Gulf of Mexico on the western coast of Florida is where some wonderfully hospitable Philippino friends of mine live, and I when I moved up from the Carribean to look for a job in America I stayed with them... [View Full Entry]
