I really hope that soon here I will be able to put some more posts up on my blog. I have been so busy with work and my child is about to be born within the next few weeks so after that I think life will start to slow back down some. Then I will have a chance to do some more posts, it is hard to keep up a blog when there is so much to write but just so little time to write it in. Thanks to everyone that has been checking out my blog anyways and I promise I will start posting more shortly.

Until then make sure you check out my Twitter account @Mark_Cathey here: http://bit.ly/nJO4Gw and check me out on Facebook here: http://bit.ly/peBui2
