Are You Ready?

Just watch the video and you'll see why I titled it this way. Just another random day at the Pittman house hold. She is just too darn cute, I'm talking about Fiana and Rachel of course :-)

No, It's Not a Van, It's a Routan

How lucky are you. I am entering in two blogs tonight. That does not happen very often. While finishing my last blog entry (please see below) I thought about commenting on our new purchase. First let me give some back ground. This summer we had two cars, however we sold Rachel's car to save up for this beautiful home in Garner. When that went to crap because of the housing melt down we were left with one car for us to share. Since I use it everyday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm for work, that left Rachel alone with Fiana in the house all day. Honestly I am surprised she lasted this long with out going insane. Since it was a no go on the house and we are sticking with our town home for awhile. It was time to get Rachel a new set of wheels. She is a complete Volkswagen girl, hence that last vehicle was a Passat, and the previous car was a Beetle. It was only fitting she chose a Volkswagon, and the vehicle of her liking was the new Routan. Let me lay some ground rules moving forward. She did not buy that horrible word called a "van" (I feel my man points dropping by 20) it was a Routan. A cross of a *cough* van and SUV. Therefore since it cannot be classified by either, we need to call it what it is....a Routan. (I'm pretty sure I have a couple of bets out there stating I would never buy a van in my lifetime, consider this blog entry as insurance on people trying to collect.) It is a very nice ROUTAN, completely decked out so Fiana can be occupied for long trips. Basically what I'm saying it has a very nice TV/Entertainment system, which has jacks so an XBOX or Wii can be hooked up. Anyone want to road trip?

Time Goes Way Too Fast

I was in the car these past couple of days hunting for generators....yeah I know that sounds like so much fun.... and I was listening to my buddy Neil Boortz. If you don't know who he is check out his web site at www.boortz.com. Don't stay too long because you'll read a bunch of stuff you agree with him on, and then he'll comment on something that will completly piss you off, but it was so entertaining you have to come back for more....anywho...He was commenting on the fact that Christmas is almost here. Following this statement came a brief pause, then he said something to the effect that he never wishes for an event to "come sooner" in his life, because time goes way too fast. I couldn't agree with him more. It seemed just like yesterday I couldn't wait to graduate from high school. Once I entered college I couldn't wait to get out, then I couldn't wait to get married, and finally I couldn't wait for Fiana to be born. Fast forward to present and Fiana will be 2 in March, and I'm coming up on 5 years of marriage. Now before you think I'm going through an early mid life crisis, don't worry, I'm not. I am just realizing it's all right to stop and enjoy the present. Why worry about tomorrow when today is just fine. (A horrible transcribe of the biblical passage, but I couln't resist) This is my encouragement to you, stop and enjoy today. We may think tomorrow will be better, however the grass is not always greener on the other side....

Fiana Counts

Work got me a new Flip Video camera. My manager took me to Costco on Thursday. He would not tell me why I'm getting it, but said I would find out on Monday. I'm not complaining. In the mean time I have been having fun with it. I will post more videos later. Enjoy!
