Guess it's been awhile

Wow it has been quite some time since I have been on for an update. Quite a lot has happened in the last year.  I got married to my beautiful wife Ashley and we are expecting our first child any day now; Madalyn Ella. I am so excited.  With everything going on around here I haven’t had much time to blog but I sure have been cooking a lot! I have all sorts of great new recipes that I would like to share with you, in due time, be patient.
