Five years ago-

Do you remember where you were? Do you remember how you felt? Do you remember why America's fathers and mothers, its sons and daughters, and its brothers and sisters are still dying over seas? I do I will never forget. I hope that today is a reminder of the pain that we all felt when our country and our freedom was attacked. It is important to remember that pain, because when we forget it, it will happen again. Whether or not you support why we are still fighting, support the men and women that are doing it, because they are doing it for you and your freedom. Don't take freedom for granted or you will lose it before you know what you have lost. I hope that every time you hear a plane fly over your head, that you remember how it made you feel when you saw one hit a building five years ago. Five years later, when I hear that sound, I still look up.

This is how you define an unhappy camper!

The Boys in Whites...

Hanging out with Col Vetter (USMC Ret), Dean of Admissions, United States Naval Academy. (and I might add, the best damn leader I have ever had the privilege to work for) 

Where else would you iron the walls?

Can you believe that people actually do this?!? 

A Life Time Ago...

I can't believe that that was just a few years ago, it doesn't even seem like the same world.
(In case you can't find me I'm in the vary back on the left) 

Sun rise over the Narragansett Bay, RI. 

More Miles...

This is Miles' favorite spot to ride when we are going for a drive. As you can see he will play with anything in the car to keep himself entertained including Beth's really expensive sun glasses. 

Miles cont...

This is Miles mooning the cars behind us from the back seat. 

Miles the Mine Mule

This is Miles, he came home with us from the PA coal mine. 

PA Coal Miner-

Beth tries on the coal miner helmet that we got for Enzo in PA. 

A fluffy pillow

The brown dog doing what she does best...finding stuffing, ripping it out, and spreading it around the house. 

Missing the view-

Sunseting over the Monterey Bay, California. 

Not posting-

Well I just checked to see how my posts were looking and realized that my posts have not been posting, so that is why it looks like I haven't been around for so long...I know you missed me but I'm back.

The B'ster

OMG I just realized that I have not posted a picture of our little girl. This is Brownie in her favorite spot during the Christmas season. 

A walk in the woods (with a GPS)

Winter in SC

Me and the Bethster in Santa Cruz, Feb 06.

Da Boys

I think this one speaks for its self.

Enzo The Fireman...

The face of the next firefighting generation. Don't worry the doctors say that his face should be normal by the time that he turns five. 

Freeeeedom!!

You can thank me later for making that a really small picture. That fun memory is from Jonathan's wedding. I know what you are asking yourself at this moment..."How many friends do I have that would expose themselves for a photo op?"

The Left Coast in Feb

Here is a Cali sunset from the wedding trip. Man I miss West Cliff.

The Brothers Scarpulla

Okay, this is a little better pic of the Nicster with big brother Enzino. This isn't a very recent pic, but their mother sucks at sending photos.

The New "Little Guy"

MARS ATTACKS...Um, I mean, meet Nico. (Enzo's little bro) He is cute I promise. :-)

Level "A" Suit

Here is a shot from HazMat Tech Class...I bet you can just guess how much fun it wasn't!

The MySpace World

Okay, I have entered the MySpace world. (www.myspcae.com/dlfavor) I figgured that if I can write posts on myspace than I can start doing somemore blogging. I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but I think that it will be a good way for me to record my journey though Paramedic school and the last 482 days in the Marine Corps. Well, I will try to make a post a day, we'll see how long I can keep it up.

Remember the Blood of Heroes...

Remember the Blood of Heroes... Wow! What can I say? Words like amazing, moving, and powerful don't even come close to describing this site. A must see for every American! Never Forget!

Swansboro EMS/Rescue Squad

Swansboro EMS/Rescue Squad This is the rescue squad that I am now part of. We do medical and rescue. I know the site isn't great but there are a few good pics of the rigs.

Been a few days?

Well I know it has been a while since I have had a chance to post something new to my Blog so I thought I would just say hey. I have been pretty bussy running calls with the rescue squad and fire dept, work, school, and helping to plan the wedding. Hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to get some new stuff up soon.
