Happy Easter!

Well here it is....another wonderful spring day and I'm stuck inside the airport. :p Yay me!

I had a great time with Bella last week when she was here. We had a blast hanging out together. There was lots of driving involved, but she seemed to handle it very well. We just took along the little princess computer that Dad & Pam gave her (for Christmas, I believe) and we would listen to the songs on it (mainly Canon in D, which she really likes for some reason) and she was doing an awesome job at the "Missing Letters" game. I didn't even have to help her and she was sounding out the words and getting the majority of the words right on the first try. I was very proud. The addition/subtraction game was a little harder, but she was starting to get the hang of it.

I hope everyone is having a great Easter weekend so far. I went down to Hurricane yesterday and spent the evening with Brandy and her kids. It was fun.

Much love,
Chad

No Movie For Old Men

So I just got done watching No Country For Old Men and can I just say that is probably one of the worst cinematic endings I have ever seen. Prepare to be extremely disappointed with the "wrap-up" of the plot. This is just going to go on my list of movies that won "Best Picture" that I hate.

I do have to give Javier Bardem some credit though. He played an awesome villain in this movie. Within the first couple of minutes of the movie you get to see him set the tone of his character and he sticks to it throughout. He'll creep you out just by seeing him on screen...he doesn't even have to be doing anything other than standing there.

{End Movie Review}

I am so excited to get to see Bella tomorrow. I haven't had her at my house since mid-January. I've missed her so much. She's missed me as well. I'm glad that I have had the opportunity to speak with her on the phone. I love it when she calls me, even though we only talk for a few minutes, I enjoy every second of it.

Well I hope all is well with everyone.
Much Love,
Chad

The Guzzler

So I am finally out of the Malibu. All I can say is HALLELUJAH!!!! I was looking at getting a nice mid-size SUV, but when I test drove some of them I just liked the feel of the Dodge Durango better. It feels more sturdy and it also had less road noise than the others. The downsides to getting rid of the Malibu are that I now have a car payment and this thing is VERY, VERY thirsty. Huge gas tank (25+ gal.) but I like having a car with power. :) So I will just get used to the hit to my wallet every time I fill this thing up. lol

I got to see Bella this last Tuesday as well. I was SO glad to see her. I've missed her lots. I'm glad that I will get to see her for a little longer next month (or whenever I can work out some time off).

Much Love,
Chad

Awesomeness

I just received my new 42" LCD 1080p HDTV. It is awesome. I can't believe the difference from my old tv. I tested the difference with my old tv using Assassin's Creed on my Xbox 360. With my old tv I couldn't hardly read the writing on the screen. Clues to where my assassination target was were barely legible, but on the new tv......DANG!!! It is crystal clear. I love it. I recommend a HDTV to everybody now. I got this one as a refurb for a good price. Now I just need to hook my computer up to it and use it as a monitor. :)

Time Flies...

So in two days Bella will be turning 5. I can't believe how fast these years have gone by. When I talk to her on the phone she sounds like such a little lady now. I am definitely blessed to have her as my daughter. She is by far the greatest thing that has ever happened to me (and that ever WILL happen). I still don't know what I am going to get her for her birthday. I'm sure we'll find something though.

And now for something completely different....

I got my taxes done (finally) and with my refund I plan on getting myself a new car. My current car will not survive the next year. Think of it as being hooked up to a respirator and being forced to run a marathon. I've been looking around and found a car that I like. I'll get more into that when I actually have a new car though.

Hope all is well with everyone. Much Love, Chad
