15 years

Like I can even accomplish this I can hardly keep current with normal blogging lol.

The year was 1993 I was junior in high school, I was living with a aunt and uncle that I no longer talk to. I worked with my uncle all school breaks and summers doing construction Im not talking little stuff ether I did the site work on propably 25 taco bells concrete sidewalks, foundations, footings, sewer and water,landscaping. You name I did it with my uncle. I made good money back then he would pay me 75 bucks a day not bad for a 11th grader. I was on the track team at school I was a popular kid who was friends with everyone even quiet geeks like my wife. although she is far from quiet or a geek now. I was the only one from my maternal family to ever graduate high school they are a bunch of losers. I was kicked out of said uncles house at the ripe age of 18 with the clothes on my back. And told i would never amount to anything and that I needed my uncle to be anything. BOY was he wrong. I made it just fine I was adult adopted by my adopted parents and have never looked back. I started a job in 1995 working for my adopted uncle at a lumber yard stacking wood to be kiln dried, then a friends father offered me a job being a helper for a sheetmetal company and I started that trade, I quit working for them and started for their competition and in 6 months started running my own jobs, after three or four years there I was feeling like I was in a dead end job so I saw a local oil company looking for a sheetmetal mechanic and I was hired there and told if i wanted to learn to be a oil burner tech they would pay for the schooling so I went then they sent me to school for a/c and then I quit haha I took that education and ran, actually they were bought out and the new owner was a and is a asshole. I was with them for like 3 or four years. So I went to work for a smaller oil company and a better one and they taught me alot I learned alot and stayed there for 3 years and got my cdl, I being thickheaded and stubborn got into a arguement with the owner over taking calls when I wasnt scheduled so I quit and went back to the first oil company I only lasted a year or so with them and got the best job in the world for me and have been there for a year now. I got married in that time to the woman of my dreams, And we are completely happy together. I think the next 15 years should cover all relationships....Now that would make great reading....

So between this and April's post today, I'm confused. The "mom" in your wedding photos, is not your biological mom? But the grandma she talks about, is your biological grandma?

the mother in our wedding pics is my adopted mom I havent seen or talked to my biological mother since I was like 9 or 10. The Grandparents are adopted grandparents also.

so i know your wife much better than you through reading her blog but i had to come over and read this when i saw it on her blog and i would love to hear if you are interested in sharing how you met an adoptive family as an adult.
that story makes a great one for the kids i work with.
if it is something you are willing to share but do not want to do it publicly on the blog april knows how to reach me. but only if you are wanting to share.
you have a great wife and you are a great hubby for her
