I never imagined that I would be blogging. I continually make fun of my wife and her "blog stalking", but I am willing to give anything a chance. Along with being married I have 3 beautiful little girls. Our oldest is 5 and the two "babies" (our wonderful twin girls) are 2. They are the loves of my life. One of my favorite things to do is read with my girls. Hopefully my love of reading will continue with my kids. I love to read because it allows me to explore and experience the culture and perspective of people I probably would never have a chance to meet. I love the security I feel living here in the United States, but I also know that I live a very sheltered life. Reading is my attempt to broaden my horizons; along with reading I love classical music, fly fishing, cross country skiing and golf. There is another very long list of things I like to do, but who has time to pursue everything that peeks some interest.
