What a weird football season it's been...

Well, the whole season ended up being a big disappointment. Just when it looked like the Panthers were primed to make a strong push in the post-season, they choke in the first round. After that, I started pulling for the Eagles. Well...that was shot-down today. So, I guess I will have to back the Steelers in the Superbowl. It's either that, or go back and forth with Casey the whole game.

I also found out today that Julius Peppers (the starting defensive end for the Panthers) doesn't want to come back to the Panthers. Dad called me after church and told me. So that's another big disappointment. At least we still have Hoover!!!

The Superbowl is on February 1. After that, it's "depression mode" for me and Casey until the season starts again in August. At least we will have college basketball to satisfy us through March...but it's just not the same.

Classes start back on Tuesday. All I have to do is pass 7 classes in one semester and I'm done!!!

Since I've named this blog "The Life of Uncle Curtis", I might as well tell you a few antidotes about my current and future nieces and nephew. The only thing I have to report on C.J. is that she acts alot older than she actually is. It's fun to interact with her, and I can't wait to see her again. Ainsley is a mess! She's make alot more noise, and a few different noises now. You can't help but look at her and smile. Kory said she had another ultrasound and confirmed it's going to be another niece for Uncle Curtis! I'm excited! And Hannah called tonight and said that Brandon felt my nephew move a little. I'm so happy for them!

My first post...

So, I decided to create a blog for myself. Thought I would take this first post to just give a little background.

I'm 30 years old, living just outside of Dallas, TX. I moved out here about a year-and-a-half ago for a couple reasons. I wanted to go back and finish some sort of degree, and this coming May I will be done with my 2-year degree in Accounting. The other main reason was that I wanted to make a few changes...new scenery, try somewhere else, and become active in church again. I thank my brother and sister-in-law for the opportunity to accomplish all these things.

I chose the name of my blog to be "The Life of Uncle Curtis", because that's what I am right now...Uncle Curt. My dear mother has already labeled me as the resident uncle, since I'm 30 and single. Sounds like she's given up on me, huh??? (Just kidding mom) But I think my brother really has given up on me. He has a wall of pictures in his house with everybody and their significant others. And for me, he has this...


I know he's just messing with me.

This is a picture of a pony that I was working on breaking for my mom and stepdad. They got rid of him after I moved to Texas. Not because I moved, but because they didn't have the time to keep working with him.


I have 2 amazing nieces right now (C.J. and Ainsley) and this summer I'll be uncle to another niece and my first nephew!!! I'm so excited about that!!!

I'm not sure how often I will use this, but I'm thinking I will need a stress release during my last semester of school since I'm taking 21 hours and working at least 30 hours a week. Anyway, thanks for checking out my blog!!!
