I know it's been a while since I was on here, but I've been trying to get over my depression of the disappointing season the Panthers had. Then, this past week, Duke lost to Carolina. But it's ok, life goes on.
Speaking of life, I have to share stories about being an uncle...since that's why I created this blog.
Casey was out of town last week, so I went over to hang out with Ainsley so Erin could do some stuff. Sunday night, she went to a fireside at church for the soon-to-be 8 year olds about baptism. So Ainsley and I had fun...playing on her blanket, and she would stand in my lap and sit in my lap and hit my stomach. When Erin got home, Ainsley got in her walker (well, she was placed in her walker since she can't get in it yet) and was walking all around. When I went over the other night, Casey said that Ainsley got upset when I left. Erin told me that Ainsley walked in her walker over to the door where I left, stood there for a second, then started crying. Talk about things that make your heart melt!
Kinda like the time that Kory brought C.J. out to Texas with her. C.J. and I spent alot of time together that weekend...playing in the sprinklers (summer in Texas, ya know), riding the E-merge, and watching T.V. When I took them back to the airport to fly back to NC, I asked C.J. if she wanted to stay in Texas with Uncle Curt. Kory was holding her, and C.J. just turned and reached for me!
The point of both of those stories is...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING AN UNCLE!!! I can't wait for May and June when Kory gives me my third niece and Hannah gives me my first nephew!!!

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!!!
