Ready to go home

Well tonight is my last night here in Dallas, I fly home tomorrow.  The training I'm doing for my work was actually really good and I am positive it will make both my job and the rest of my team's a little easier.   Overall the trip has been fun but I'm ready to go home.

This has been my third trip I have been on for work since my daughter was born.  The first two weren't as hard on me because she was much younger and didn't interact as much.  Now that's she's 20 months old I feel that even in as short as a week I am missing a lot.  I can't wait to get home tomorrow and see her and my wife.  I have gotten to talk to her on the phone a little but it's no substitution for the real thing. 

Today my wife was put on maternity leave about three weeks earlier than we had planned.  She is not due until next month but the doctor's felt it would be best for her right now.  We are less than a month away and I am really starting to get excited.  I know some parents are excited about having children but for our first I was nervous as could be.  Now that I have been there done that so to speak I don't feel nervous and am really looking forward to it. 

As I posted in my blog yesterday I got to meet two of my clan members while here which was cool. There were some almost erie similarites between Kurupt and his wife and myself and my wife, (we both share a neighborhood with an in-law....scary)  I really wish I could go to the Chicago LAN party to meet other 2o2 members but that isn't an option this year.  Maybe in a year or two we will see.

I really would like to thank those that started this site, it's great to get like minded individuals together that share common interests.  However it has spoiled me a little, I can no longer play online with your typical idiots out there (I have to play with 2o2 idiots) I just can't stand it any more.  It makes me wonder how I did it in the past. 

Alright this has gone on long enough, I will wrap it up.  I guess I will just sit here in the hotel watching the NCAA tourney.....Let me check my bracket here Texas A&M to win it all........Damn....Oh well. 

Oh and to my clan mates, I hope you will all be on tomorrow night because I really need to shoot something.

I know what you mean about travelling away from your kid. My son's about a month younger than your daughter, and I miss him like crazy when I have to travel. Our second is due Sept 26th, and I'm doing my best to make sure I'm not travelling during the 6 weeks before the due date, I don't want to be in California or Canada or Germany and get that call from my wife. And your clan mates can't wait to shoot you either.

Make that "shoot you too". I spent the night playing R6 with Baine, it must be rubbing off on me.
