My Baby boy is here! Got a new laptop!
It has been forever since I posted anything again, and it might be from time to time sometimes in my life, but now that I have got me a new laptop and a new desktop, I definitely have enough time and computers to be able to get on here and keep up with my journal. I have decided to keep this site up as a personal journal of my life and achievements, and because it has an archive of my life in college and growing up. I love having the memories right in front of me, and on the web so they are never lost. I still come back and read through my past post from time to time. Some of the memories I wish would have never happened, others I never want to forget.
My baby boy has finally come into the world! James Landon Highlander was born on February 12, 2011. I know it is March 19 now, but this is the first time I have posted since then. He is absolutely amazing in every way. Elizabeth was so strong through the whole pregnancy, and flawless through labor. I was so impressed with her, and she is just as amazing at being a mother. He is growing so fast! We decided to breast feed, because it is way cheaper and significantly better for Landon. He was born 18 inches long weighing 6 pounds 7 ounces. Now he weighs around 8 lbs 7 oz.
Being a Daddy is the most amazing feeling in the world. I have never felt so proud and protective over anything in my entire life. That little man changed his Daddy in so many ways when I first seen him, and he will never know the wonderful gift he has given me. This contentment in my heart, the knowing of having a purpose in life, and the love I see in every smile. I love him so much.
My buddy Paul gave me a busted up laptop that he had bought last year. He shattered the screen and threw it around a lot, so I didn't know if it would work or not. I figured I could use the parts for something, or be able to fix my Sony laptop that died on me back in June. Anyway, I couldn't fix the Sony because the motherboard was fried, however, I did take the LCD out of the Sony and replace the screen on this Lenovo laptop. It is now as good as new and faster than it has ever been. I am running dual boot with Vista Home and Ubuntu Linux. Intel Dual Core T3400 @ 2.16 Ghz and 2 GB DDR2 RAM. The only thing that isn't upgraded well is the Hard Drive. Since this laptop was purchased for business the stock HD is only 160 GB. I have no complaints though, now I have two new computers that are both new and fast, so Liz and I don't have to fight because I want on the computer and she is watching her TV shows on Hulu. lol.
I am going to be doing some changes to this site. Change some dead links and maybe add a picture section or something. I would like to get a good image host so I could set up a photo album on here of my Life and especially my baby boy. The only thing that is as good for memories as a journal are plenty of pictures, so it would definitely be a good upgrade. I will try to add some other things as I think of them, I just definitely want to keep it up to date and not let this wither away. This site means a lot to me, not only because of the memories, but the work that I have put into it and the dedication of keeping it up for so many years. Hopefully there are many more to come.
