Its Tryptophan Time in Tennessee!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!! Being Unemployed for a month or so left me where i could only afford a pack of turkey instead of a real turkey. What a great day and a great time of the year. Even though there has been some people in the news lately doubting that our friend tryptophan is truly the source of our sleepiness, it will always been number one in my book. I'm just pumped about the next few days thats all i can say. This morning i participated in the popular Turkey bowl football game with all the guys at the church. I'm happy to report that myself along with everyone else walked away unharmed. Even though it was cold and rainy its yet another good source of memories to look back on someday. Hopefully we can all say that after we have our shoot fest on Saturday. As i look back on yet another year that has slipped by, I see many memorable moments that I have nothing but thanks to God for. I saw myself starting a new career and marrying the woman of my dreams. This will be our first Thanksgiving and Christmas as a married couple which i'm really excited to share such a special time together. With all the happy thoughts in my mind, this time of year will always carry a saddened feeling for me through out all my Thanksgiving days here on this earth. I found myself standing in the family cemetery on Tuesday looking down at my Papa's tombstone just baffled thinking that it has been a year already. Many of you have probably read Ryan's blog already and it was special just to see him and hear his voice again. There will probably ever be only one man who I will ever have more respect for than Harold "papa" Howard and that is my dad. There are so many lessons and memories that Papa left behind with me and i'm forever thankful for that. I MISS YOU Brother Harold. Standing there in the graveyard with my wife, maybe more than ever it made me realize that time is fast and our life is fleeting. So I hope everyone enjoys and cherishes this time to fellowship and make memories with your families. Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!

Technology man, new jobs and Safes

The last month or so has truly been an interesting experience. As many of you know i have been taking unpaid vacation time for the last month (aka jobless). Alot of that time has been spent soul searching trying to discern where God would have me go to take a job. All of those options spanned from the Virgin Islands, the national guard, Indian reservations, and beachfront NC living. Many of you also know that i am not the most computer smart guy, but the last few weeks i have found my self updating pics to the fbc webpage, burning dvds, and toying with pics in photoshop. it looks like my days of nothingness will be over soon. I am going to start training on Dr. Webbs electronic medical records and will soon start doing 2-3 days of work for him and hopefully fall into a position in about a year that will pay off my student loans. It will be good to be back in the saddle again and hopefully save Christmas for all the little boys and girls at the Heady home (well at least two grown kids). Yesterday i found myself in another situation saying "this could be bad boys" aka Moving Jones 10 ton safe. I will let you check out BJ and Rhino's blog for all the details. Needless to say it was a fun experience. Looking forward to national bird day and all the yummy goodness that it brings. I'm also looking forward to hopefully doing some bird eating and skeet shooting with our good friend bignate. I was browsing Youtube today and found a few good videos. I thought this one was kind of funny in light of our upcoming shooting festival. It could be any of us in a few years....




Well, i will go for now. Check out our picture page. I'm slowing working my way up to being up to date. One year ago yesterday, me and my beautiful wife were engaged. So check out our pics of that fun day.

Hello World!

um...hello? is this thing on? hah. well hello all you little blogger kids. I have caved in to all the technologically advanced nerd friends that i have and decided to start my own blog. I know i have big shoes to fill following bignates bird cam, rhino's fair horn, and BJ's minute by minute account of his air force adventures. Who knows, i could have an up and running camera going of the church parking lot so i could share all my window perch excitement. Hopefully i shall have pictures soon to show you the adventures of me and my lovely wife. It shall be fun...but don't take my word for it.
