A Few Days Later

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

So having a new baby has done something that I did not expect to happen.  Noah seems like he has really grown up.  He seems like he is very tall and he feel considerably heavier to pick up than he used to be.  Maybe it is just that now that I have a little baby I just notice how big he is now.  It could also be that he stepped up a bit now that there is a smaller kid at home.  It is probably a bit of both.

Black Beard!

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Bearded JakeA while ago I grew a beard.  I had to try again because everyone always said that beards look foolish on the Cornwalls.  I felt like I could grow one if I let it go for a while so I did.  It was very popular at Schwietzer to the extent that I was almost a trend setter.  a bunch of other people started to (by people I just mean men, I just get used to being politically correct).Bearded Jake

Carolyn liked the beard and in general I liked it too, but it seemed like it was itchy most of the time I was growing it.  I also found it difficult to drink anything because it would always get in my mustache if I was not really careful.  I liked to play with the part on my chin and look thoughtful because that is what you do.  I had been getting tired of the beard for a while and one day Carolyn said she kind of missed my clean face so I shaved it off shortly thereafter. I do think that I looked decent though.

Jake with the chopsActually I shaved the beard into some chops because of another movement on the swing shift at Schwietzer, but only for one day.  No one liked the chops, but I kind of liked feeling like Wolvering.  Oh right, another perk of having the beard (which is probably why pirates had them) was that I instantly had more respect, not that I did not get respect before it’s just that people looked up to me a bit more.I just woke up.

Jake and Carolyn Section

I have posted in the Jake and Caroly section the story of how we met.  It is a little long and not proof read yet, so don’t feel obligated to read it, but it is there.

Face Book

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

I am not a huge fan of Face Book or My Space.  So as an alternative I decided that I would attempt this blogging thing.  I signed on to Face Book because my wife did (thats right, I am a follower).  Well niether of us will ever really use Face Book to its potential, we did it to see who we could find.  I was very impressed who I was able to find.  I had pretty much given up on contact with high school friends.  I will try to get some pictures and my life story going.
