Crazy, but I love it

   My niece gave me a piece of chalk and this is what I decided to write

Good afternoon everyone! Well I am finally in charge of the story telling. I can only hope that I can keep it all as interesting as the other writers. There is a good chance that some of these posts and ideas will seem random and confusing. There is no need to worry, that is just how my mind operates and when I can only remember about one or two of the sentences before the one I am writing, separate ideas can possibly start to run together.
   First off I would like to thank my lovely new fiancee Jesse for doing the editing and posting the pictures for me. As you all know, I proposed to Jesse at the airport as soon as I knew  it was her I was hugging. Since that day there has been a whirlwind of wedding planning. I have learned that I must not have paid any attention to my sisters' weddings because I have no idea what she is talking about half the time. I do what I can though, which mostly involves watching Kae (not literally of course). So the big day has been set, we will have a private ceremony on June 25th and an open house July 10th. The open house will be at my parents house from 7:00 pm till 9:00 pm.
   So we will be leaving for Florida this coming Tuesday for the memorial. I am looking forward to talking with old friends and being at a nice warm beach for a change. I will also be speaking so I am a little nervous about that. I know what I want  to say I just hope I can remember it once I am standing at the podium.
   Well I apologize for the time it took me to finally write something. After this trip to Florida I will make sure to post more frequently. The last thing I want to do is thank everyone that had any part in the welcome home. I was expecting maybe thirty people at the most. The turnout was amazing. I will never be able to express how thankful I am for all of you and what you all have done for my family and I. I also want to thank everyone else around the country and world for reading this and supporting me and my family. The outpouring of support has been truly amazing. I am so lucky to have people like you all in my life. I truly do appreciate everything that you all have done. From the thoughts and prayers to the cards and packages I am and always will be grateful. You all are the reason that this has been worth it.

Thank you all very much, Michael
