A little quote that I want to remember everyday...

If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly.

The transformation started in the summer of 2007.

And to think all it took was (in 3 years):
Lasik surgery
Adding a few hairs to my head surgery..um..twice (yea yea, so I could have had a Porsche)
Shoulder surgery
Hernia surgery
1500 hours in the gym
250 hours on the treadmill at home - that really..really..really sucked!
quit drinking
eliminated crap foods, completely
Braces
and finally (at least in these pictures) - a little Hawaiian sun!

WOW! Very, very impressive, doubt that few people could do what you have accomplished J. But to tell you the truth, what you have accomplished in the advancement of your professional life from when I first met you stands right up there with your physical improvements. The combination stands out as achievements that truly are one of a kind. I am so proud to have you as a son-in-law. Pops.
