  • WE DID IT!!!!
    | 12:44 pm

    It was a PERFECT, Saturday afternoon, where two souls were joined as one, SARINA AND I GOT MARRIED!!!  You know, the entire ceremony was like a dream, it was perfect!  Once we put the rings on and signed the marriage license, we officially became a family.  I won't go into the whole ceremony, you can catch clips of it on our Multimedia page, because it's a feeling that is undescribeable!  I LOVE MY FAMILY...SARINA AND ALAINA, YOU TWO ARE MY WORLD!

    Off to the reception, that was a friggin' blast!  Great food and service from "Something Special", those guys are so well priced and professional, I recommend them if you're planning ANYTHING!  Our bartender did a fantastic job, I'm awful with names, but she was contracted through "Something Special".  The reception was held at The American Legion in Holly, very well kept, a perfect place for a reception!  Thanks to David's Bridal for hooking my beautiful wife up with such a beautiful dress, and thanks to Men's Warehouse for the "GQ" looking tuxes.  And last but not least ALL the FRIENDS and FAMILY, Sarina, Alaina and I love you all so much, whether you were there or not, we really do appreciate everything.

    Bridesmaids- Sasha, Carissa, Tara and Lena, you ladies looked so damn gorgeous, and helped out so much, thank you!  Groomsmen- Chad, Al and Mike, you dudes rocked it, Chad the "canoe" speech was hilarious and Al, dude, it's ok to have carbs every once in awhile, and you'll be getting your pictures of your moustche tattoo, you're in like every picture with it!  Until next week...GOOD NIGHT NOW!!!!

  • It's Been a while...
    | 3:15 pm

    I know, I know my blogs and page haven't been updated in awhile, it's been incredibly busy around here, my bad!  Sarina and I are 12 days away from getting married, the big question is "Are you getting cold feet?"...HELL NO!  I am a little nervous, but an excited nervous, I know Sarina is the love of my life and she will be forever, I can't wait for May 10th, we will officially be husband and wife.  We have had some people try to get in the way, to them I say, "Get a life, and get out of ours!"  Sorry about that, I had to vent, some people are really friggin' annoying and need to worry about themselves, you know check your own skeletons before you look for other's.

    Anyway, I hope you had an awesome weekend, mine was great!  Sarina, Alaina and I had some of the family over, Papa Dave and Grandma Lola came over yesterday for a pizza party, good times!  It got really scary on Saturday though, my soon-to-be sister in law, Sasha, was rushed to the ER because she had vertigo, but she is doing much better.

    I'll be giving away tickets to see Josh Gracin in Bay City all this week for the KCQ Drive Home Sing-A-Long Song, listen to Jim and Barb, The Q-Morning Crew, every morning at 8:50.  The KCQ Country Music Fest Free Concert is almost completely set up, Co-Headliners Joe Nichols and Tracy Lawrence with special guest Jennifer Hanson, Rising Stars- Backwoods Thunder and Mandy Layne and Lost Highway, you're probably asking who are the New Faces, that will be answered very, very soon!  Until next week (hopefully)...GOOD NIGHT NOW!!!

    P.S. Tomorrow is my 5th year anniversary on 98FM KCQ, it all started doing nights back in 2003, getting promoted to Music Director, then moving to afternoons, I want to officially THANK YOU for listening, you rock, and here's to another 5 years...CHEERS!
