I hate Washington (the state)

Hello everyone. As I'm sure most of you already know I am now back in Washington and let me just tell you that I hate it. I had the amazing opportunity to be able to come home last wednesday night and stay for a couple of days, it was actually a four day pass. I had the best time with my beautiful wife. My flight landed at about 8:00 pm and I knew that Meg was going to be waiting for me when I got of the plane. So being the kind of guy I am I had to make sure that things didn't go exactly how she was expecting. My plane landed in the second terminal and SLC so Meg planned on meeting me at the bottom of the escalators by the baggage claim. I however decided that wasn't going to happen. I ran from the second terminal down to the first terminal, out side by the taxi's and passanger drop off, around to the second terminal and snuck inside without Meg seeing me. I scoped out the area and saw a beautiful, hot, sexy lady standing all by herself looking intently for someone to come down the escalator. So I snuck up behind her, put my hands on her waist, and whispered in her ear that she needed to look harder. Before I could finish whispering in her ear though, she turned and screamed with an amount of joy that I'm not sure that I have ever witnessed before. I loved it. After our wonderful greeting we jusmped in the car and headed to St. George. It was great we basically did nothing. We sat around and just enjoyed each others company (and for those of you with "adult" minds I really mean that we actually just enjoyed each others company). Also because we aren't going to be able to see each other for our b-days we did a little gift swap. My gift was super awesome, Meg made me an americana themed quilt. I loved it, love it, and will always love it. I also had a chance to see my family. It was great to see everyone. As great as it is though, it always comes with saying a good bye. I hate it. I want to just be able to be home with my beautiful wife and not have to worry about a thing. I guess that I only have a few more months to endure until it's over. Well it's actually ten but on the big picture scale ten months is nothing. I know, I know Meg, you don't need to tell me. I know that I'm full of crap and that these next ten months are going to be forever but I've got to stay positive. It's the only way to get through it. Well I love you guys and for those of you that I didn't get to visit with while I was home I should be back in about five months so we can get together than. Can't wait to see all of you again and take care. I love you Meg, more than you can ever know.

Uncle Aaron Redux

Well, well, well, it looks like lil' whit finally decided to drop by and join the family. The only thing I can really say to that is, "hallelujah". I am finally an uncle, well again. I've been an uncle since I was seven, yeah kind of weird when you're that young, but the thing that makes this time so freakin awesome is I know have an Aunt Megan by my side. And as I'm sure that all of you know, things are just so much better when you've got Meg with ya.

I've decided to turn this post into another one that just praises Meg and tells her how much I love her, and appreciate her, and miss her, and how I look forward to seeing her in 110 hours and 23 minutes, but before I do that I have a few other things I would like to address. First off is my beautiful niece, lil' whit. I just have to tell ya that I'm so sorry that I wasn't there to experience you passage into this wonderful world and your joining of your amazing family. And yes you truly do have an amazing family. As weird as your dad may seem he's still a good guy, I promise. I've also seen your pic's and you are one cute little baby. Just please don't cry when you see my ugly mug in about a week. I know that you're used to being around a good looking family however you're just going to have to get used to the idea that you've got an ugly uncle. Be happy though because my beautiful wife helps make up for it so it shouldn't be too bad.

Now to my family and that means all of my family, big (Danny) or small (lil'whit), near or far. I love you guys. You are seriously the freakin sweetest family that I could ever ask for, even the family that didn't ask for me (sorry Megan's family). Ya'll do the best in making sure to keep in touch, for your touching posts (Laurel), and just letting me know that the love and support is there. I can't wait to see all of you again. I really do miss ya.

Finally my wife, my partner in life, my BEST FRIEND, the only thing I can ever really say to you is that I LOVE YOU. I love you more every single day and know that there will never be a day that my love for you doesn"t grow. You always have a way of taking my words and breath away when I talk about you. I feel like a young naive high school kid that has found the girl of his dreams. I start to feel a shortness of breath when I think about you, my heart starts to rev up like a race car and jump out of my chest, and the only thing I can ever say when I get off this phone with you is "Ahhhh, I love that woman." You drive me crazy, especially when I get to see pics of you on your blog. Because let me just tell you that Meg Babe, you are looking so hot. It drives me crazy not being able to see you. At least I'll get a little taste in just a couple more days. So again I love you, I love you, I love you.

And to all of you friend, family, or even weird creepy strangers that just pop in to read my blog, Yes I love you too. Thank you for everything and remember to those about to rock..... We salute you.

Ode to Meg Ann (it's basically Megan)

I decided that I would make a post that is focused towards my amazing wife. I put a lot of time into it, so please enjoy. There's also so pics for your visual entertainment. Also if you are one of the wierdos that are later mentioned than please stop visually and any other way entertaining yourselves with the beautiful pics of my wife. Thank you and read on.



Ode to Meg Ann,

I'm pretty sure that I'm your biggest fan.

(if I'm not well than all of you sick wierdos out there better get out of here because she's MINE)

I also really love your can,

and to that I don't really know what to say other than I'm a man.



Ode to Meg Ann and all of her hair doo's.

I don't really like it when she watches me go poo,

or when she runs around and acts like she's two.

I guess that she is a woman so what am I to do?



Ode to Meg Ann and to putting up with... well, me.

I am a man and I guess that means I act like I'm three?

But wait I'm pretty sure that when you're two than you're younger than three,

and that doesn't make sense because she's way more mature than me.



Ode to Meg Ann and all of your cute little crafts.

They are always so awesome, even when you make me cut out the rough drafts.

Also because it rhymes, you're so cool because you went down the river with your family in some rafts.

basically you're just super cool, just end that with something that ends in -afts.



Ode to Meg Ann and the eternal gift that she has given me,

I get to be with her forever and that makes me so happy.

There's not a person that I love more and on a daily basis crave to see,

I couldn't ask for a better way to begin eternity.



Ode to Meg Ann and this one is true,

this little dumb poem can't even begin to explain how much I love you!

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.

and maybe just one more, I love you!
