25 Random things about me

1. I've been married for 10yrs coming up on 11yrs come this August. Where does the time go. Always knows she was the one, regardless to what others said.
2. I have 4 beautiful children (lil terrorists). Now some of you who really know me, know I've always wanted a basketball squad. So, I guess I need at least one for the thumb. I've got championship caliber children.
3. I was diagnosed with Lupus SLE in May 2005. So, I'm one of the very few men in the US that has it. I was close to death, but the Lord had other plans for me.
4. I'm so thankful for all the folks God has put in my path over the years. The lessons learned from them are priceless.
5. I really miss coaching at St. Matthews this year so much so I started going to games, but just being there was too hard. Shout out to Cody, Anthony, PJ, Andrew, Josh, Jonah, and Justin. I'll be there for the tournament. My proudest moment as a coach was after to losing the championship to Detroit Urban was in the locker room when Matt Lee spoke up. He simply was the heart of the team and example to the guys coming up the next year. Makes me proud and teary eyed just thinking about it.
6. I'm moving to Saint Louis, MO in June. Wow, I wonder what is down there?
7. That I'm a better listen than anyone will ever know... Be careful what you say if I'm in the room. :)
8. In June will be the first time I will be by myself with no wife and kids until July. I'm so used to noise and distractions I may go crazy.
9. I regret not seeing my godson Seth more over the years. I suck.
10. Got to play college basketball and church league basketball.
11. Miss spending time with my big brother. Man, we both just got so busy.
12. I was brought to tears when I watched my sister graduate from high school and college. So, proud of the strong black woman she has become. Same goes for Danielle on both accounts. I never doubted you for a second.
13. I more like my dad and mom than anyone will ever know.
14. I still think Jerrilynn and I should start that advice website. So says Nigerian Thunder
15. Wonders where all the guys from Men's Saturday basketball @ St. Luke's in Ann Arbor are doing now.
16. I actually know SuperDuty doesn't stand for a Ford line of trucks, but one woman's strong faith in God. Even if she doesn't.
17. The pleasure it has been to serve my congregation as Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Elder.
18. Thinks Scott Catallo without a doubt has perfect timing when someone needs that pick me up call.
19. Knows what I'll be doing in five years, but doesn't know where.
20. Misses seeing the Stringers every Monday night and hanging out with his Lifetime family. (Natalie, Sarah, Mike, and Teri)
21. Cherishes his Bible Study groups and game night friends.
22. Thinks his in-laws are the most retarded, misguided, loyal, funny, good hearted, and strong minded in laws in the world.
23. Knows Danielle was his second chance at being a big brother when someone needed it.
24. Thinks Jerrilynn-Linda-Leah day needs to abolished and Jeremy-Eric-Mike founded. :)
25. Is pretty sure that on the last Sunday at CTGS he won't be able to make it through the service.
