My Life:

Howdy!  Welcome to my page!  I am Aaron and I am Xander’s dad (A.K.A Dada)  If you made it this far you might just want to know a thing or two about me.

I am a fun, loving, cowboy boot wearing stay-at-home dad!  I think that explains me in a nutshell.  I have a degree in Social Work and I was the person that every parent dreads seeing.  No, I wasn’t the Social Worker that collects taxes.  I was the one that was called when something bad happened to a child.  I got to try to help figure out what happened exactly.  It wasn’t a glamorous job.  Honestly, it could be a really depressing job a lot of the times.  I saw humanity at it’s worst.

I am married to a wonderful woman, Melissa.  We have been together for over 20 years and married for almost 17 of them.  We have one little boy (Xander) and we are blessed to have him in our life.  You might be asking now….”okay if you’re so blessed why do you have just one child?”  I will tell you…we were some of those people others whisper about that had fertility problems.

Oh and one more thing!  I happen to know I am me.  Feel free to reblog me if you so feel inclined!  I am to busy with my son and being a stay-at-home dad to worry about people stealing my life.  YIKES!!!  

Being a stay-at-home dad is hard enough without having to worry about people making fun of the way I look or all the stuff I have to take to get ready when you have a three-year old son to take the pool!  Hey…at least I get to keep my boots on!
