10 Months

At this time last year, I was blissfully unaware of just how upside-down my life would be turned. At this time last year, I can honestly say I had no idea of how happy, and joyfully complicated my life would become. Enter Anna Grace. Being a father is a truly amazing experience and I have had the privilege of seeing many of my friends become first time parents as well. I guess that is what...

Praying and Watching

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. - Colossians 4:2-4 Evangelism. A word that stirs up different emotions and memories. Visions of people going door to door, people handing out tracts,...

who's your daddy?

On 12/3/10 I became a father. That short sentence is loaded with responsibility, joy, sleep-deprivation, and a whole lot of love. My daughter’s name is Anna Grace Patrick and was 6 lbs 13 oz at birth. Rachael was a champ in labor and delivery and went completely natural (no epidural, and only a few pain shots to take the edge off). During the 12 hour marathon that is labor and delivery,...

Lame blogger with a baby update

Blogging. Hmm. It is interesting to think that I think the events of my life are important enough that I should post them online so that others can read about my family. Weird. Okay, enough about that and the fact that I am quite possibly the world’s worst blogger. Patrick Baby Update (Anna Grace Patrick): We are having a baby girl! We had a routine ultrasound at 20 weeks and found...

worst blogger ever.

I’m the worst blogger ever. I always say in my mind that I will update my blog with hilarious stories and the great goings on in my life but I never get around to it. It comes down to days like today when I look at my page and realize I haven’t posted in over three months that I realize that my blog sucks! So without further delay…a Patrick family update.

Update - Three months in

I am almost at the end of three months of running, training, and sweating…and proud to report that I am still going strong. While I started at the beginning of the new year, I am calling this a life change and it is the first time that I have been able to keep something like this going for this period of time. I really feel that I have conquered a mountain here. In these last three...

Update - One month in

It has officially been one month since starting my intense workout regimen. I have gone from running three laps on a 442 meter track and vomiting to running 11 laps (just over 3 miles) without stopping. I have increased the number of push-ups and sit-ups I have been able to do in one minute and feel good about the hard work I have put in. I have decided not to weigh myself as I want this to be...

off to a good start

I’ve created a monster. There I said it. I’ve wanted to get in shape for years now. I’ll start and things will be progressing nicely but then the double bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake come calling and I think back at how good that relationship has been and my new fitness regime/friend has to take a back seat. This is not a new year’s...

'tis the season.

Christmas time is a time that in the past few years I could have done without. I find myself longing for January when I can go out into public and not hear rockin around the christmas tree, jingle bells, or see ten-thousand representations of Santa Claus, Rudolph, and Happy Holidays signs. I didn’t start out that way. Christmas was traditionally one of my favorite times of year, just...

sport freak.

I’ve been a sports freak for most of my life. Here are the teams that I follow in their respective sports: NFL - Denver Broncos MLB - Boston Red Sox NBA - Utah Jazz MLS - Real Salt Lake College - Utah Utes Of all these teams I would say that I have followed the Denver Broncos the most. Not only do I love football but I have really come to appreciate the pro game because they have a...

the problem.

So I noticed something in watching baseball this season. With no salary cap, the good teams just get better because they can afford all the big time players. I won’t blame a single team because my team is just as guilty of this as anyone else. So here’s my question: In your opinion, would a salary cap in baseball really even the playing field, or should it remain the way it is?
