Been a while!

Wow!! Okay so it's been a really long time... I really in all honesty thought I would be much better than keeping up with this blog the way I wanted too.  Guess I failed at that attempt, but I am hopefully going to be able to keep it up more now.  After my last post I got back to school, and had a pretty intense semester!  I'm trying to finish up a degree in Chemical Engineering, and it is very time consuming, hoping that it will pay off here soon as I finish my senior year and find a career somewhere.  I've also been busy working for the summer, and don't spend a lot of time with the computer anymore, so that's also another reason.  So from here on I hope to keep up with life, and let you know what is happening to keep the memory of our little boy alive.

I still have a dream of Hang Gliding, and I am positive that one day I will get there.  I will still continue to work towards this goal, and hopefully it is something that can happen soon!

Since December, a couple of big events have happened in our lives that have given us some great memories.  First as I mentioned before, Janet and I started running at the end of December, preparing to run a Half Marathon in March.  It was a long hard road but it was definitely worth it!!  We followed a running program that helped us train, and I know that Blaze was with us as we ran.  I often looked to him when I felt like I just couldn't go anymore, and I know he was there by my side helping me a long the way.

In February my wife surprised me one morning letting me know that we were pregnant!! It was a great surprise!! A couple of weeks later, however, just before we ran our Half Marathon we had a miscarriage.  It was a very hard couple days to know we might be blessed with another child after losing Blaze, but then have it taken away.  We ran our Half Marathon, and it was such a good feeling to finish such a big goal!! It really gave me the courage to make more goals and know that I can work my way to them. I know this is brief, but my wife has a much more thorough blog about our lives at rayandjanet.blogspot.com check it out :)
