Todd's Story
Hey everybody! What's new? I currently reside in Omaha, Nebraska where I work for the US Postal Service as a letter carrier. I like the job well enough, but I hope to get my Masters degree and either teach and/or do something in my field...Biology.
I am currently getting a divorce and I have a seven year old girl who is daddy's little girl and a boy who is now 2 years old. I got the chance to get to Nevada and do some fishing with Morgan Crum and Aaron Low. We each took our daughters to a cabin in Utah. Its interesting how each of us had girls for our first kids. We caught a lot of fish, but my daughter was against the idea of eating any of them!
I am still very invovled with football. I coach at a local private high school. It's their second year of having a program and we still have a long way to go.
With being single again for the first time in years, the whole idea of dating is interesting. I guess it's just funny when you are older... you already know what you want so you waste little time with the small stuff, my has body changed a bit, and, you have to schedule around having the kids...just a bit different from college.
I have serious career/business goals that I continue to pursue. I have some internet sites that are about the trucking industry, I developed a program called Full Integration Training for small colleges and high schools in areas of strength training and athletic development, and I have a dream that is so big and ridiculous that I dare not mention it here.
I am still kind of stocky and thick, and since becoming single again have realized that I need to start working out. I keep trying but it seems time is fleeting and that it is better to work out for yourself, not to get dates. I bought out my ex-wife's portion of the house and am thinking of taking up home improvement as a hobby.
I keep in touch with Morgan, Kelly, Aaron and Stormie. I see that some have visited my profile without saying hello. Drop a line, I'll eventually get back to you. I hope to hear from you. Take Care and God Bless!
a little more....
I saw the story wizard, so I thought I would answer some questions... I hope my old friends remember me for being genuine and a good listener. I guess being known as being a little odd is still probably true. I think some will remember me for being ambitious and a romantic. I still am both, but I kind of doubt love anymore...I think I will be remembered for skinny dippin' in the golf course pond..LOL. I always wanted to be a fighter pilot for the US Navy, but that was over with when I was done playing college football. I think that's when I learned that dreams, goals, and expectations unmet are really defeating in life...these days I acknowledge that I really am starting over at square one and hopefully my past disappointments are a catalyst for a positive future. If you remember, I always would shoot hoop to blow off steam and to think things thru...I've been shooting a lot more lately. I really like to BBQ and would like to cultivate more of my cullinary skills. Ok...the wildest thing I ever did...I was in the weightroom with my girlfriend..I won't say who...and I won't say anymore...but things I can openly admit to...playing the guitar naked at the Hillenbran's! I have changed a lot though. Jesus is my Lord and Savior and he inspires me. Especially as I go thru the journey I am on...I have to admit I am in a valley these days...and he is not a crutch, but is my rod and staff as he guides me thru these times. I would like to meet back up with Bill Millar. He was mad at me that he wasn't in my wedding and we haven't really talked since. I love the guy, but I think my faith in the Lord caused us to have differences. Whoever gets to see him, please tell him I miss him and love him, and that I hope his life is going well. I know life doesn't turn out the way we expect, but my biggest surprise is that my clock is still ticking and I hope to have many more kids...I still would like to have a big family. I plan on putting an addition onto my house myself...but my ideal house would be an estate on 320 acres with pond and a garden like the Hunnington estate in Pasadena, CA. It would have a wooded area, horse stables, a jogging/walking trail...I would have an out building with shops, a lab, a weightroom, a chapel, and whatever else I desire. As a parent I have learned that my goals are nothing without being there for my kids. That is...my business pursuits are only fulfilling if I know that they will result in a benefit to my children, namely I would like to have more freedom to be available for them. And, I can imagine always having a relationship with my children where they have some involvement with it. In some ways my kids have taught me to love, or perhaps it's the only kind of love I believe in these days...it's unconditional, and no matter the circumstance they love me and I them. Ms. Phoenix...I think I have her right...she taught english, and JJ Christian and myself were always challenging her integrity. I don't know if it is true but I think her husband passed away and now I can kind of remember that her heart seemed broken through the year...I didn't have the relationship with her like Mr. Davis, Strachan, Stuart, or have the raging debates like I had with MR. Christy, but I would just like to know that she was fine and to apologize that we were sometimes stinkers. I wouldn't mind running in to mr F, and see if his opinions of people like me really mattered compared to his constant playing with himself obsessing over 9th grade girls...does the term pocket pool come to mind? If I won $100 M I would first take care of my family, having tithed 10%, and then I would put the rest of it...Expand for more
in interest baring accounts so as to live off of, and to allow future blessings. I am too much the black sheep to be in a Frat, and I kind of was an outcast in some regards by living in the dorms most of my college days. I really didn't want to cultivate relationships that forced me to be someone I wasn't. Some of the "Christians" were quite racist so I really didn't feel comfortable, and many of the others really partied... and I am not wired that way...I have learned over the years that I am really a nerd plain and simple. Sometimes hearing stories about Aaron Low, Grainger and others, the way things are done in Nebraska are much different than in Nevada. I think I attended more parties in Nevada while I was in college than in Lincoln, because the environments are so different I really didn't like it too much there in Lincoln. I think I would be truly happy being in the center of God's will with a wife and family, enjoying life together. What I have learned is that of free will. Sometimes we don't allow ourselves free will because we have inhabitions and self-imposed boundaries. For instance, a woman who desires so much to be married that she overlooks everything in her future mate in order to fulfill those expectations. I learned why God allows so much tragedy in the world, because ultimately Free Will and a decision of the will to love unconditionally is the strongest point of a relationship. Enslaved free will, like my example, is not an exercise of free will at all; and although the choice to marry someone may apparantly be an exercise of free will, it truly isn't. So, what I desire is love from a wife who chose to do so, not out of her limitations and expectations but of free will...and even more astounding is when you ask or tell God let your will be done, because the free will is committed to following Christ...and His plan is much better than what you can ever offer. Sorry so preachy...but I understand things better than before and want to share...I desire to be doing things with someone who loves without conditions, attachments or games. Someone who is sexually compatible and intimately equal. Although I am 37, I don't feel like high school was 19 years ago at all! I always thought people my age where out of it (athletically), but Strachan benching over 3 bills in his mid thirties and seeing football players playing who are in their thirties offers hope. I'll hold off on career aspirations for now...lets just say I have a lot more growth to go thru before my dreams are to be a reality...but I keep chugging! My first crush..hmmmm....well my first french kiss was April Huigerra (sp?) and that was in the 4/5 grade...then there was Erin Mahar...well most of you know more about her than I do...i live 1300 miles away...I was always attracted to Nicole Fernald and I was always wary of her faith (that was before I understood), but before I realized it, we were in college and by then it was way too late! I think she is a happily married mother, living in Washington state somewhere. I painfully remember Kelly making out with her on Grad night though...see...I really don't have a very good track record with these sorts of things! LOL! Kelly, would probably describe me as being broken-hearted, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as being arrogant, mostly because I am actually shy. I don't know if I dress or talk, like I did years ago...but I think I am very different than what I used to be.... I think the weirdest job I had was working for the pizza joint on Boulder Highway. The owner was heavy into drugs, was the nicest boss I ever had, and eventually got caught using his business to do other business...if you know what I mean! They always say that, "if I knew then what I know now!" I don't know if I would want a do-over...all my past experiences have made me who I am today, for better or for worse! I think the one do-over was the playoff game against Moapa...when Stuart put Bartcart from the I form to wideout and told our QB to throw a bomb. There was over two minutes left and it was only third down. Everyone in the huddle looked at me... I wished I would have changed the play...I think I could have...it's like one of those moments where if you did what you knew was right against an authority you could have wiped away a lot of unresolved issues that run deeper than just what the stupid play called. In 10 years I hope to be happy. And I plan on getting there by taking one day at a time. Kelly and I met in Frosh football. His first game was at Havasu, but he couldn't dress out for it. I was dominating and Kelly recognized that I wasn't getting much recognition and thought how I played was awesome. He got me something to drink (remember our Frosh drunk coach...he mixed KoolAid and Gatoraid or some kind of drink that made all of us sick) and told me so. Well, we talked about our interests one day and found out we had a lot in common. Kelly and I were best friends thereafter. I think I would surprise everyone at our reunion by how I am the same as I was back then, but much different too. I think it would shock people at the lack of confidence I have in myself these days. I think my classmates would see someone who is really broken down. I think that would shock a lot of people. I still believe in what I am doing, but it would surprise many that I am not as much of an optimist that I once was. One of mu first jobs was at Jack In The Box. I remember Camille and Jill working the front registers. I really can't think of childhood memory I'll never forget, because I have alot of them. So, for now, I'll be done answering this little story wizard's questions. Take care everyone, and God Bless!
