All I ever wanted to do with my life was become a soldier and during high school was my time to prepare for my future,
Fort Bliss
Everyday I spent my days working out to prepare myself for my future
Fort Bliss
Today was the most important day I have had in my life so far, all I can think about is starting a new life and never looking back.
Fort Bliss
Today was the beginning to a future I have been dreaming of all my life!
Middle East
When I arrived all I could think is what the heck did I get myself into! With all the yelling and chaos I had no idea what to do.
Middle East
I never wanted anything more in my entire life than this very moment when I had my blue cord get attached to my uniform I officially am a United States Infantryman.
Fort Bliss
I was so excited to go to Texas, but the minute I stepped off the plane all I could think was where is the grass, the trees, and even the bodies of water?!
First day at my first duty station I was beyond excited! Until I met my squad leader and team leader, my life became absolute hell all because I was the new guy to the unit I had to all the dumb details and cleaning.
After going through hell for weeks beyond weeks I had learned we are going to be deploying to the middle east within the first six months of me being there.
Here I was half way across the world a year after graduating high school, honestly it was not to bad of a place if you could get over the 100+ degree weather.
After being away from the United States for 9 months it was finally time to leave this sand box and return back to Fort Bliss, Texas the Sandbox we love.
First night back all we wanted to do was go have an ice cold beer in town with people who don't wear a uniform 24/7.

Road Trip to Wisconsin
Home Sweet Home
Time for a Job
Meeting the Love of my Life
Baby Time
After 3 and a half years of ups and downs mostly downs, it was time to go home back to good ol Wisconsin.
College
My brother decided to fly down to El Paso to make the 23 hour drive ahead of us I couldn't be more thankful!
The End
After all this time all I wanted to do was get away and now that I'm back home I realized this is all I could ever need a home with people I love the most.
I had numerous jobs after finally moving home I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I went from wanting to be a fire fighter to a construction worker to even wanting to be a cop!
When things in my life made me feel like I was constantly running in circles, I had met the woman who brightened my world and gave me my beautiful son I have today.
I could not be happier with the little family I had created with this amazing woman.
Now that I have a son I know there is no time to mess around anymore with my future.
What I learned the most about life is your dreams and wishes as a kid may not be what you really think they are, in the end the thing that I thought would make me the happiest really did the opposite, and the thing that makes me the happiest is my family.
