My first blog-RIP Adam.

I thought I would start my blog by giving a little input into my life and who I am. But today I found out some news that kind of broke my heart. One of my friends from Jr. high died early this morning. I was told that he shot himself. He was a very good person and a hero in my book. He signed up for the national guard before he was out of high school. He served a tour of duty in Iraq before he could legally drink. I had heard that he was having a hard time dealing with the after effects of war (maybe a little PTSD?) I can honestly say I haven't seen or had a face to face conversation with him in 5+ years. However he one a person who was a part of my life when I was having a hard time in life. He was dating one of my best friends when we met, in fact that is how we met. I just happened to be one of the only friends of his girlfriend he liked. Because of that we hung out a lot. I doubt he would have really called me a friend but, like I said, he had an impact on my life. He was there when I was going through my rebellious, trying-to-find-me stage of life. Those who were a part of this piece of my life I can honestly say were some of the most important people in shaping who I am today.

So I just have to say rest in peace Adam. One of our country's true heroes!!!
