Evan's first post on The Kitchen Sink

Personally, my (Evan) first post since the inception of the Kitchen Sink.

I will finish school the first week of December!!

I will find a new place for our family to live...hopefully before December!!

I am a limited handy man...you can call me Pedro, or MacGuyver (sp?) as I have learned some new skills...it is amzing what one could do with the right tools, mindset, and neighbors.

I love my wife and children.

I love my siblings and I have learned something from each of you:

Dorothy: the importance of getting the kids to bed early

Nate: the importance of not worrying too much...unless you want colitis

Dan: the importance of saving for a rainy day or month or months.

Laura: the importance of being helpful, thanks for storing our 150 pounds of long grain rice.

Julia: the importance of enjoying the present...have fun in school because it will soon be done and you will wish you were back in school with less pressure.

I love my parents and I have learned many things, but here are some highlighted lessons:

Mom:

waking up early is possible even after you 'retire'

It is okay to live experiences through others lives...I'm glad you hiked the Grand Canyon and told me about it...I felt like I was there and my body doesn't even hurt.

Dad:

the response after you tell Dad, "right here on my arm when I rub it, it hurts" and Dad's response, "Well don't rub it". Same response will come if you mention your leg, foot, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, head, neck, or hand.

Buy low and sell while the stock is half way to its peak performance. Chuck-E-Cheese and Rite Aid just to name a couple examples...I would have been a millionaire by now.

Have a fun day!
