Good News!

I know, it's been forever. My apologies! Welcome to the journaling life of Carman Ragatz. Well, the good news is that I'm behind on my school work. "But Carman," you may ask, "how is that good news?" It is good news because I get bored at work between calls. "Uh, still don't get it!" you might protest. Well, I would do homework between calls, which I do at times, but other times I can't concentrate so I was looking for things to do between calls, found facebook and started playing facebook games all of the time in between calls. "Okay, good for you!?" you say, but wait I'm not done. I loved playing the facebook games so much that I started playing ALL of the time, which got in the way of my schooling, affecting my homework. "Again, GOOD news?!?!" you wonder. The point is that because of my homework piling up, I have decided to stop playing on facebook, cold turkey. "Oh, well that's good...." you think in disapointment, but wait it gets better. Now that I'm not playing on facebook, I still have that issue with time to kill in between calls...so, I decided that when I don't feel like doing homework, I'll blog. "Uh hunh, right," you say doubtfully. I know, I know, I have yet to prove myself, but I have set a goal to blog at least once a week. If nothing else, I figure it's a good Sunday activity too. So, wish me luck, try to be excited and hopefully I won't dissapoint anyone!!!

So Blessed!

I know, it's been a while...but hey, I'm new to this and I'm a busy father, husband, church goer, student and employee. Don't worry, I'll do better. I was planning on putting on a post the other day but I was hoping to put some pictures up so I waited. So, I don't have pictures yet, but at least I'm posting a new blog. I'll get pictures later.

So, I was thinking 'Carman, you are so blessed!' And I thought back to myself, 'Self, you're right! I AM so blessed!' I thought I would share with you a glimpse of how blessed I feel and am. I have such a wonderful wife who loves me and our daughter and takes such good care of us. I am doing so well at school. I was so surprised on my last test in econ that I got a 96% and I was most worried!

Well, again, this is just a glimpse of my blessing. My break is over and I have to go back to work!

SURPRISE!!!

Wait, no, it can't be! Oh but it is! Carman has actually started a blog! SURPRISE!!! Yes, it's true I have started a blog, and the greatest part about it is that I'm not telling anyone. You'll just have to find out on your own. The first person who will learn about this will be my wife Sarah as I will be discretely adding myself to her followers list. We'll see how long it takes before she catches on. We'll also see how actively involved I will be in maintaining this blog as keeping any kind of journal has never been my strong suit. But alas, this is yet another attempt to try and allow others to see what goes on inside the mind of Carman Ragatz. Are you ready for an adventure? The real question is: "Is this all for real or is it just a great April Fool's Day gag?"
