Johnny's Story

Life Hello everyone. It's been a while since I've updated my profile so here it goes. As most of you know I married Kathryn Herrington on Dec 5th, 1998. We will be celebrating our 9 years of marriage Dec 5th 2007. I work at County Line Auto Parts on 50 Hwy near Lone Jack. I am in sales. I have worked there since Nov 3rd 2003. I would have to say this is the best job I've ever had. It's like family out there and it sure beats doing body work. I must say that life comes at you fast and the older you get, the more you realize how naive we were when we were younger. We have watched the world slip through the fingers of those whom we once thought held it in their hands. We have become different people than we were when we were younger. At least I have. Your perspective on things change. What was once considered absurd to us, is now considered sensible and vice-versa. Anyway, enough about life philosophy. I am still playing drums. I recently bought a new drum set, a Pearl Reference series. It combines birch, maple and african mahogony. It is delicious sounding. I have not officially named it, but for now I am calling it Mini-Monster. I have 2 pairs of hi hats, 2 snare drums, 2 floor toms, 3 rack toms, 1 kick drum with a double pedal and a various array of other cymbals and toys. I have been in several different bands over the years ranging from country, pop, rock, metal, experimental progressive, glam wave and so on. Currently I am only playing with the worship band at my church, which consists of a lot of the guys and girls I used to be in other bands with. We cover a lot of different styles. It's definately not your typical boring church music. Well, there is no good way to transition to talking about my wife and kids so I will just jump on over into it. My wife recently was a surrogate mother for a couple in Massachusetts. In this instance she only carried the babies. It was not her eggs that were used and yes I said babies. She gave birth to twins, one boy and one g...Expand for more
irl on March 10th,2007. She is now working on her second surrogacy for a couple in Independence. It has been a blessing to be able to give couples who are unable to have children on their own, a chance to be parents and experience the love you have for a child. We are going to start a surrogacy agency to help link intended parents to good, stable surrogates. We will guide both parties through the whole process. Right about now you are probably thinking how do they do it. Well it does take a certain person to be a surrogate and fortunately, Kathryn is one of those people. I love her so much. As for my kids, we have a girl, Ashtyn Rose, who was born June 30th, 2000. She is in second grade. Then we have Dominic Charles. He is a red-headed, hot tempered handful. He was born Feb 27th,2004. I will say his temper has gotten better the older he has become. As for anymore kids, NOT A CHANCE!!!! Kathryn had her tubes tied when they performed a C-section for the surro-twins. And yes she can still get pregnant through IVF because the embryo is implanted directly into the uterus. Now onto more details of my life. I have had a bad back ever since I was a teenager and on March 6th, 2006 I had to have back surgery for 2 herniated discs. My L4 and L5 were out of place and one of the discs were pinching my sciatica causing my right leg to be in severe pain and go numb. After my surgery I regained feeling and mobility in my leg. Today the same 2 discs are now bulging with one being torn and leaking out the fluid that cushions my spine. I also have degenerating disc space as well as bone spurs on the right side of my hip. Also excessive scar tissue build up from the last surgery and arthritis of the spine. It looks as if I will be facing another surgery. I will see a different nuerologist this time in hopes that he can do something that will help for a longer period of time. As long as it does not prevent me from playing drums I'm cool with it. Well, that is all I have for now. Later.
