I'm shaving my head for cancer!

I've joined the Crescent Springs Fire Department team for St. Baldrick's to shave my head for cancer! If you'd like to help me fundraise for this event, click the link below! Besides being for a good cause, I am also doing this in honor of my Gramma, Myrna Rosenstein, who is a breast cancer survivor.

Thanks for all your support - be sure to be on the lookout for funny bald pictures after the event!

Much Love,
Dave

9 months!

Happy 9 months anniversary, poohbear!


I know that sometimes it's rough being in a relationship with me. I'm not the most level-headed guy all the time. I love you more and more every single day, and I want to spend the rest of our lives together, and be happy together. I love you!

once upon a mattress

So Emmy came in for a very VERY short visit to see her brother Charlie in Once Upon a Mattress at Cincinnati Country Day School. The show was about average as high school musical performances go, but Charlie was FANTASTIC. Believe me, I'm not just saying this because I love Emmy and her family, I'm saying that Charlie carried the show as Prince Dauntless. He was just amazing! Ok, enough bragging.

Well, not really, because I also wanted to brag about Emmy FINALLY getting her bio and picture up on the website at the Autism center she works at. It's quite the bio, and she seems very at home among all the other practicing professionals at the center. I am so proud of how quickly my baby is advancing in her field, and I can't wait to continue on this journey together!

The visit with Emily was over waaaay too soon, and now she is off on a spring break cruise with some of her friends down in Mexico and that general area. (I forget exactly where, but I remember a couple of the shore excursions.) Phone and txt and internet costs A LOT (they charge by the MINUTE for internet!) so we haven't gotten to talk a lot, but from when we have, it sounds like Emmy is having a blast. I can't wait to see pictures and hear all about it!

Oh, and possibly the most special thing that happened all weekend.... when we went to see the musical, (we being Emily, Scott, Ellen, and me) I was taking pictures of Charlie and the family together, and Ellen made everyone stop so that we could find somebody to take pictures of "the whole group" and she invited me over into the picture. I can't really put into words how many different kinds of warm fuzzies that gave me. I feel so welcomed, and so loved, and so happy to be a part of Emily's life, and be welcomed into her family like that. It really means a lot to me, and every time Ellen or Scott or Charlie or Nana do something like that, it just makes me more and more positive that Emily is who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love you, Poohbear!!

ugh.... and it's only tuesday!

Not such a hot start to the week. My baby is away on a cruise for spring break, and internet and cellphone is SOOOO expensive on cruiselines. I had no idea how expensive - even more than in a hotel in vegas!

On top of that, I am sick. Ugh ugh ugh. I hate being sick more than anything in the whole entire world. I am getting up early for a show at the cintas center tomorrow, so I should get to bed. I just feel so crappy, and my Emmy is a million billion miles away and we can't cuddle and make everything else in the world fade away.

I miss you lots, poohbear!
