welcome one and all

well, here it is 10:52 pm and i'm listening to the vikings and packers play sunday night football and am wide awake because i drank dt coke after 7 pm. i thought, what the heck, i'll start a blog. seems to be the thing to do these days. if you are reading this, you probably know that we have a family blog called Ode de Trio in which we update pictures of the kids and sunny uses it for a blog for her to get out some frustration every now and then.

i guess since i am starting this i should introduce myself. not sure why, because if you have found this you probably know me or read our other blog, but in the case you don't know me. my name is brandon and i am a father of almost 5 yr old triplets, i am married to my best friend sunny and we have a dog named hershey. i work for a large insurance company and am traininer for financial service products. i travel all of east tn and work with agents and team members and really do love my job. it has it's ups and downs and i tend to complain a lot when i get home at nights or to my boss, but i am glad that i have a job.

i graduated from the university of tennessee at martin in 2003 with a degree in music, but have not used the degree for anything in that field. i was fortunate enough to play in a "rock band" with some good friends from college, stephen cavness, andrew littleton, and stephen coleman...we were ebeneezer. i had to bow out early as we moved to knoxville and it was very difficult to get back...they went on to play for a few more years, but those were some excellent times.

i have to say this about this blog, it will probably be random as my interests run in so many directions. one thing that is near and dear to my heart are my kids. braylen, kyan, and kynsie. sunny and i were not expecting triplets when we were trying to get pregnant, but were pleasantly surprised when we found out. as you can read in our other blog it has been a journey to say the least. so there will be posts on here about things that deal with them and also our journey with autism. i have read many articles lately that i feel will make good posts in the future.

i also am a converted UT fan. i grew up an alabama fan but once i moved to knoxville in 2003, i began to become a vol fan and now am a 100% vol fan. i actually spent birthday money on a new ut hat and 2 tshirts! so there definitely will be some posts on here about ut sports and ut in general.

well, it is now 11:09 and i want to go watch the rest of the game and then go to bed. thanks for stopping by my sounding board. feel free to come back soon and comment as often as you'd like.
