No we don't have two children, I was referring to Lindsey and myself. Has this semester absolutely blown by for anyone else? As fast as days have turned, Lindsey and I have still had time for some embarrasing moments (actually just me). If you're unaware, I work as a server for a local restaurant. The other day during a busy night, I was running back and forth to please some hungery Jazz fans; as I was turning a left corner towards my tables, my left foot slipped on a puddle of water and in the blink of an eye I was airborn. You know those moments in your life whether it be right before a car crash, slipping on ice, tripping down the stairs.......the moments where you recognize your mistake too late and for a split second, you have no control over what happens to you next.......this was one of those moments. I had to just let my body go and wait for the crash. Would this story be any more amusing if I told you my hands were carrying two plates of hot food and all my fellow employees were watching; yes it would. I was now on the ground with a bowl of hot Salmon Chowder covering my body and a Philly Cheese Sandwich spread out across the restaurant floor. I could imagine what everyone watching was thinking...."you are one pathetic loser"..."what a cluts"..."...."who hired this champ". I jumped to my feet and wiped off my face; how embarrasing. It's tough to recover after a fall like that, it does something to a man. Not a day goes by where someone doesn't crack a joke about that fateful day. It's days like this one where I'm glad to have a wife and dog that love me, even when I smell like soup.

Two Kids and a Dog

oh stefano told me that story, and how nobody helped you clean up!!! If I was your co-worker I would have helped!!! That is a pre hilarious story! Love the pic!! WE freakin miss you guys!
Oh, my poor little Nick Nick. I am sorry, but I think it runs in the family. I was carrying a tray with a double layer of coffee cups at the Stardust Hotel.I thought I was so strong to hold that tray high above my head, but when I pushed the swinging door someone else was coming in the other direction and I was knocked over, along with the whole tray of cups, which were smashed to pieces on the floor. Every cook and waiter in the place roared with laughter. Funny, not!
Sad story! But I LOVE the picture of you three! So adorable!!
