Testing, Testing, One Two Three.

  I find myself at a huge turning point in my life.  In October of 2009 I ended my 14 year career as an Aviation Electrician in the Navy, and am now working on adjusting to civilian life.  I have a hyper six year old boy and twin 16 month old twins; one boy and one girl.  We're building life in a tiny little house in the beautiful Pacific North West.  So, faced with a drastic career change, I chose to go the direction of Medical Assistant, so now I'm a full time student.  I'm still not sure I'll be doing that when I grow up...
  
   Three times in my life, I have been diagnosed as ADHD.  I believe I have outgrown a lot of the hyperactivity, but the ADD still runs my life for me.  I just started a journey of learning to handle this condition.  I find it sad that the phraze ADD has been so over used, because those of us that need help and understanding have trouble finding it.  My eldest son, however, is definately ADHD, and I have determined that I can't help him if I can't help myself.

   Sometime in the future, the dream I have is to build my own local small business based around the many local businesses this area is rich in.  Not quite the direction I'm going to school for, but hopefully someday....

   I have many hobbies, and many things I pick up as hobbies and, thank you ADD, drop again quickly but learn so much from.  As I start this, I carry a lifelong passion of cooking, and have picked up gardening.  I also enjoy hiking, biking, and recently geocaching.  Somewhere in there we also throw in beer and wine making.  Mostly beer.

   So, with this blog, I hereby invite the world in to learn with me, and listen to my random BS because I'm an opinionated little twit.  Join me on my adventure of learning who I am, learning who my family is, learning who my friends are, and learning what this world is all about.  Laughs are very likely, many at my expense.  But you might just learn something new...
