Just Life






















Well, we must apologize about the blog which we hold. We have not done a good job at keeping you up to date on our lives witch I am sure everyone is dying to hear about. Lets face it, we are interesting people and I know that all of you are going to take time out of your schedules to read what we have to say. well maybe not but its good to dream. The last few months have been a blasty blast, we have had our hands full and everyone keeps on telling us that its a good thing. We will start with Connor, he is just fun. He is such a funny kid and we can't help but think that he is the cutest thing on the planet. He was blessed on the 21st of February and we had the great fortune to have both of our Grandpa's come out and join in the blessing. Connor has yet to roll over (on purpose but it still counts) and has yet to start walking. I even tried playing catch with him the other day and he won't catch a football....yet. Other than that he is doing great he is a happy baby and defiantly brings joy into our home. Chelsea is just the love of my life. She is the best mother and I just love to watch her play with Connor. She worries more than anyone that I have ever seen and its just funny. She has turned into quite the coupon queen and I receive picture updates all the time with the things she has purchased and how much she has saved. She loves being a mother and if you ever call and she does not answer, its most likely because she is up to her elbows in poopy, lol. She is so busy and she always manages to have a clean house and cooks for me on a regular basis (that is why I am fat). She is the best example to me and always keeps me on my toes. p.s. even though she is small she can still take care of herself and has some wicked slap moves. She is so helpful to me and she helps me with everything. And then there is me, Don Hertig. right now I have a full plate and can't wait for summer. I am taking 15 credit hours at Eastern Michigan and the are all Political Science classes, needless to say Chelsea has to deal with my rants almost every day after school. I am enjoying school as much as one can but am happy to say that I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am also still at Carrabba's Italian Grill, this has been a great motivator for me to get through school. I am averaging around 30 hours a week with serving and bar tending. Its amazing how someone that has never drank in his life can BS about drinks, I tend to live by the phrase, when in doubt add more alcohol. this brings the tips coming in and our guests happy. The Marine Corp is great, I am loving my new platoon that I am in and am just having a good time. Who knows what will happen in the future with Afghanistan but we are always ready to do what we have to do. I am the Basketball coach for the young men in our ward and have loved playing ball. Although we have not had to many games (1) I think we are the champs because we won our first game by like 30-40 points. That is just fun. I hope that you all enjoyed the update and we will try to keep it up.
