Hello to all my new found friends from ActiveRain. I've been tagged by Ginger & Roger Sala. I've had a really good time reading everyone's MEMEs. This was a great idea for letting people get to know each other and Become Involved in the ActiveRain Community.
So here goes. Five things about me:
1. I was on the Indiana High School Athletic Association State Runner-Up golf team in 1994. I also went on to become an apprentice in the PGA of America's Golf Professional Training Program.
2. My cousin and I were both born on Christmas Eve of the same year two hours apart from each other. You could say I'm almost a twin! LOL!
3. I am the 2nd oldest of 7 children. I have an older brother that will be 35 in May and a little sister that won't be 14 until August.
4. I have the two best dogs in the world. OK, I'm a little biased. We have two boxers. Our oldest is a 2-1/2 year old girl named Ali Wishes. This is when she was still small enough to pick up. Those days are long gone. Our other is a 1-1/2 year old boy named Brodie Licious.
5. I cry every single time I watch Rudy. I can't help it. I try to always keep the attitude that Rudy had. Everyone did nothing but tell him why he couldn't do it only to prove them all wrong. What a great inspiration that can be. It is truly amazing what the power of positive thinking can do.
I hope this provided you with a little more insight as to who I am. I look forward to reading many more MEMEs!

I haven't seen the HBO special, but the link in my blog has some good stuff about him.
Thanks for the compliment on the dogs.
Hi Brett, I see you like golf and how come you didn't persue a golf career not so much playing but in some other avenues of golf. Like equipment sales etc..
I have seen Rudy a few times and I too think it's a classic.
Looks like you might get cheated a bit at Christmas time.
I too wrote a blog on positive thinking and if you get time and want a good read here it is .
Thanks Jay
Rudy the movie,
I am going to google that one sounds good!
Boy ,
you were quick getting your meme blog done.!
Jay - I got really burned out on golf. Way too many hours for practically no $$$. I got in the business because I loved golf and by the end I didn't love it anymore. Leaving has allowed me to enjoy it again. I don't know why I didn't pursue other avenues within the game. I didn't have any college, only a high school degree. I think when I left I didn't know what I wanted to do.
Luckily I had a good friend Jay Wyzard that had started a real estate career. We talked and I decided to get my license as well.
Carole - I appreciate the compliments and I too love it here. It is great to interact and share ideas.
Ginger & Roger - If you have not seen Rudy I highly recommend it. A great story of triumph over adversity. Good for the soul.
We wish you a merry Christmas! We wish you a merry Christmas! We wish you a merry Christmas And a happy New Year! Glad tidings we bring To you and your kin! Glad tidings for Christmas And a happy New Year!
