Happy Unbirthday!

Today we celebrated my wife, Kari's, birthday... again. It is the tradition in the Skolik and Taylor families to drag out birthdays over a three-day period or longer. Her official birthday was Friday, but she reminded me on Saturday and Sunday that is was still her birthday. The conversation went something like this: "Steve, will you rub my sore feet? You know, it's my birthday." My response: "Your birthday was yesterday." Her response to my response: "The whole weekend is my birthday." My response to that: "OK, I'll do it." I am actually glad to do it. She is everything to me, and I don't tell her of show her enough. Once again, I am telling you that I have totally outkicked my coverage (Don't worry... this will not be the subject of every post I write). I am amazed that the God of the universe would care deeply enough about me to give me the exact person I needed to get me on the road to being the man that I need to be. Those of you know me now, but didn't know me 13 years ago, before I married Kari, would not believe the difference she has made in my life. She has been the catalyst that God has used to make me mature in a lot of different ways. So today on Kari's 36th birthday (again), I wish you a good night, and I wish her a happy birthday (once again). I can only pray that you find a spouse, soulmate, and friend that will affect your life the way Kari has affected mine.
God is good all the time,
Steve

Why Am I Blogging?

This is my first blog... ever. I think I might be doing this because my old friend, Jeff, is doing it. I've always admired his writing. Or maybe, I am frustrated with having a lot to say, but few people to listen. I have been accused (mostly by my lovely wife) of talking too much. Maybe it's just a case of out-of-control narcissism. I don't know... but I am excited about having this outlet. Check in every few days to see what pearls of wisdom (acutally it will usually be comedy) I have to share with you.

Grease for peace,

Steve
