Yes....believe it or not we have started our own blog to keep in touch with others and they too can keep up with the latest news on us. As of today, my beautiful wife Tish is alittle over 7 months "prego" and looks beautiful as ever. Baby girl kicks hard and rolls around even harder
and uses Tish's blatter as a squeeze toy. We picked out a name for the baby, Eliah Talameo. Tish is on her last semester of jr college and ready to graduate in May, she is ready for that to be over. She finished her 3 calculus classes last semester and has been taking more critical thinking classes this semester. On her time off school and work, she spends alot of her time with Creon. Creon is excited as ever about the arrival of Tala. He talks with her all the time, lotions mom's belly, and helps Tish takes her vitamins. He already has holloween all planned out with him and baby. He is very excited. On top of the excitement of Tala, Creon is doing very well. We had spring break this past week and Creon hung out with us all week......he didn't seem to have much fun. He asked us over and over when he could go back to school and play with his friends again. He thought we were punishing him by not letting him go to school. But we had a cookout with some friends of ours who have kids and he got to play with them for awhile. And me, well I'm doin okay. I was supposed to have left for the army two weeks ago, things got complicated with that. Last September, when i signed my contract with the army i exceeded the weight limit for the "average" guy my height and age. For 23 yrs old and 6 feet tall, the limit is 195lbs and I weigh 275. So, they gave me a physical fitness test called an ARMS test which basically says if you pass, you can physically keep up with everyone at bootcamp even if you exceed the weight limit. So I took it and passed it and army doctors signed the paper and put it in my folder. Without that paper I could not have signed my contract or sworn in at all. In October the military got rid of the ARMS test in all branches of the armed forces, but anyone who passed the test before they cancelled it was still good. So March 6th when I was supposed to have shipped out for boot
camp, I said my good byes to everyone and Tish and Creon came down to see me off. It was a very emotional day for the three of us because Tish was holding back alot of tears but Creon wasn't. So I was feeling really bad about everything. So I was ready to go and ready to leave and they tell me last minute that they could not find the paper saying I took and passed the ARMS test. They looked for it but couldn't find it. So they said that since there is no physical evidence that i took and passed the test, the only way I could get into the army is to get my weight down to 195lbs! They gave me 64 days, but in that time I can not have a job, ANY WHERE! I have access to my military benefits but no pay check, so i would basically sit around for 64 days with nothing coming in. So, I'm working again back at UPS and looking for another job in the mean time. I was upset for awhile at first, but now I think that it happened for a reason, things like that just don't happen. Tish and Creon are the happiest about the whole thing. I am too, I get to see my boy grow, my daughter born and i don't have to leave Tish at all. We are all doing well.
Well today is another day. My babies are sleeping and already its starting to warm up alittle too fast. But today i get to try out an idea i have. Recently I've been studying samoan tattoos and designs and working on some of my own stuff. I think I've gotten pretty good at it and a friend suggested that I put the designs on clothes since I'm not a tattoo artist and I get very light-headed at the sight of blood. So, I'm taking my art and a couple of blank shirts down to a print shop to see what they would look like on material. Hopefully it comes out good enough because I got a couple of people who would buy some shirts if it came out alright. Fingers crossed.
